Sapphire X1600 Pro 512MB PCIe

[sinteger]

I ran the 10.4.6 install from a working 10.4.3 installation. When I edit the ATIRadeonX1000.kext's Info.plist to include 0x71c21002 under the PCI indentifiers, it boots, but all I can see is the cursor, everything else is black:( . Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Im not a pro at this one, but Im pretty sure you have to hex edit part of the kext to add the device id right into the actual binary.

there is a detailed thread about this at www.osx86project.org

Well, I wiped my 10.4.6 install because I was also having issues with being able to install software, such as Firefox. Kept saying that there was an error mounting the image, the device was not configured...

So now I have 10.4.5 installed, and with a quick edit of the ATIRadeonX1000's info.plist, I have QE & CI showing as supported:D .

Now the issue is this: It is a 512MB card, and it is only showing 256MB in System Profiler:confused: . I noted that elsewhere it is said that my DVI port has a sep. device ID, which I am sure it does. Does this mean that the other 256MB is being dedicated to that output? Is there any way to get it to read all 512MB???

What resolutions are you getting?

I have the exact same card, also haven't been able to get QE/CI to work in 10.4.6, and also notice that it's divided into two separate devices (second device id is 0x71e21002). As far as I know there is no way to get a single 512MB device. On a separate note, has anyone been able to get Omni's Callisto driver working with this card? I can get it to show me resolutions, but actually switching causes a screen of odd lines and no functionality whatsoever.
