Hello,
this is my first time trying the hackintosh method, i'm using the iBoot and multibeast.
So here is what i did,
first i installed snow leopard through iBoot,
reboot,
did the configuration of Apple,
updated to 10.6.6,
installed "EasyBeast & System Stilities" from MultiBeast,
reboot..

"i did the previous 3 times, for the following reason"
now when i boot "from either iBoot or HDD" it gives me a blank screen and my moniter goes stand by..
so i figured my "New" graphics card may not be supported,
The Graphic Card is Sapphire Radeon HD 5670..
I switched to my old graphics card "GeForce Nvidia GT 6400"
and it worked, Snow Leopard showed up,

then i did the kexts and post installation files..
reboot..

The question is:
Is it possible to -by any way- to make my New Graphics Card 'Sapphire Radeon HD 5670' working with the system?
using any kext or whatever?
 
I have this one SAPPHIRE 100287VGAL Radeon HD 5670 (Redwood) 512 MB ddr5.

Worked OOB with GraphicsEnabler=No to boot after install, and was recognized and full res after 10.6.8 update but still no hdmi audio, and only video thru DVI I can connect a second monitor with the hdmi but only mirror, have not tried vga.
