Anyone have any success with using this with an ATI Mobility v5250 (x1700)? I have found tons of information on how to get the x1700 working with releases prior to Snow Leopard but nothing for Snow Leopard.
I tried modifying the files as suggested in the readme with the identifier of the card 0x71d4 but when I try it ATISupport fails to load and then I get a kernel panic with ATIRadeonX1000.
Any help would be much appreciated.
@ CeloSam
just replace Dev ID with your dev id.
Will this enable rotation of the display? I want to be able to put my imac on its side for portrait display.
Hi, Thanks for the kexts. I used them in my IPC 10.5.6 install and they enabled all resolution of X1600 Pro. But it disabled QE which was previously working. I couldn’t execute the sudo commands because I couldn’t get the path correct. I tried several variations and always got “no such file or directory”. Any thoughts? Thanks
thanks for the kext. I have installed the kexts and got them to work but I get a lot of mouse artifacts. I am using a x1600 71c2 agp 512mb with agpart.
Any playing around i do just gives me the grey screen of death.
I hvae a Raedon X1600 Pro and i can’t find the right Device ID for my card! Any help? Unfortunatly I have no windows to read the device ID out of this card!
My Model Gigabyte GV-RX16P256DE-RH…
@ derpuma

regard
and what can i do with 71c0 ?
Does it work with this instructions ?
X1600XT PCI-E 256Mb
Mine is a ATI Radeon X1600 Pro (0x71c2).
I have installed all the kexts and set the permissions according to the recipe above, but I had no luck – not even resolutions change.
System Profiles does not recognize the card and when I type “kextstat” in terminal, I see that none of the ATI* kext are loaded.
Please help… any tips will be most welcome.
Thanks
Carlos
Unfortunately there is rarely responsible .. Ive been waiting, but it seems that the answer will not be
Yep. Unfortunately it looks that way.
Anyway, I’ll keep on searching. I have 10.6.2 and am working with the ATI* kexts (kextload, kextutil, etc) to try and figure this out.
I’ll post a new recipe here when I find one.
Thank you, friend. Every day I look down here hoping to get an answer.
I finally got the 3rrorists prescription to work.
I had to boot the kernel into 32 bit mode instead of 64 bit. I did this by editing the file /Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist. Basically the “-v -x32″ does the trick, but here is the complete contents:
Timeout
5
Kernel
mach_kernel
Kernel Flags
-v -x32
SMBIOSdefaults
y
GUI
y
Legacy Logo
Yes
GraphicsEnabler
Yes
EthernetBuiltIn
Yes
device-properties
And you think that my video card will also work in this mode?
This method doesn’t work for device 71c7 (X1650 Pro) as it has only DMI output … maybe someone can try it with a VGA converter and tell us the result ?
