Hey dudes,
big problem here...

I doesn't get my XFX HD 6870 1GB recognized right in "About This Mac", it just says HD6xxx. And so, After Effects CS6 crashs at startup.

GraphicsEnabler is set to Yes, no success!
I also tried AtiConfig=Duckweed and AtiPorts=5, but still no succsess!
I'm on 10.8.2...

Any help?

Thanks a lot!
 
Here's my boot plist. Using same card, and Z68-UD4 board.

My "About this Mac" reports as "AMD Radeon HD 6870 1024 MB"

<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key> <string>Yes</string>
<key>GenerateCStates</key>

Nope, didn't work...
I added GenereateCStates, GeneratePStates and UseKernelCahche, anything crashed my wifi-connection...

Graphics is not detected right yet..
 
What are your kernel flags?
 
At the moment, I don't have any kernel flags in my list...
 
nobody n idea? :rolleyes:
 
Try adding:
Code:
<key>AtiConfig</key>
<string>Gibba</string>
<key>AtiPorts</key>
<string>5</string>
 
Just a thought, but are you using default .kexts? (ATI6000Controller, ATIFramebuffer, ATISupport)

And, you're using 10.8.2? Because I don't need any modifying for my XFX 6870 to be recognized as long as I have GraphicsEnabler=Yes.
 
yep, default kexts are in use, no configuration..
npci=2000, npci=3000 didn't work...


here's my boot.plist
