Big radeonhd guide for 10.5.7
after you update to 10.5.7, if all works fine for you with raeonhd card – skip this tutorial
radeonhd 2×00 3×00 4870 4850 users just install this natit and enjoy – Natit pkg link
now about 48×0 users only:
Default natit posted above uses Motmot as framebuffer driver, Motmot known to have problems with powermanagement and memory clocks (results in screen shakes, affects only 4850/4830/4850×2), default natit has a workaround for this, for 4850 users.
There is another framebuffer for 48×0, called quail, it doesnt have screen shakes problem, but has less output capabilities on 4850/4830 (only secodn dvi port works as dvi, with patched quail) , here is natit which make use of Quail – Natit for Quail pkg link , use it as alternative for default natit, if Motmot has issues for you.
Now patched framebuffers: it’s patched Motmot and Quail to get rid of dvi2vga dongle trick (or hdmi2dvi + dvi2vga on some cards),
the package called “Patched framebuffers for 48×0 and 3870×2” – recomended for 4850×2/4850/4830/ 4870 with hdmi/DP/VGA outputs
Patched ATIRadeonX2000.kext, for exotic cards like – 4830 4890 4870×2 4850×2 3870×2 , to get QE/CI , its called “QE_CI_Exotic_cards”
ATI_init pkg for MacPro users(4890 4870×2 will need the file above also, natit inside) – ATI init pkg link , two pkgs, that’s all you need.
Last thing, 3870×2 users – install default natit, patched framebuffers pkg(only if you dont have ATY_Triakis.kext installed yet) and patched ATIRadeonX2000 pkg.
Pkg with patched files available at irc://irc.osx86.hu #radeonhd channel, first link in topic
P.S. for dummies, for 4890 and 4870×2 you need to install default natit and patched ATIRadeonX2000.kext pkgs
for 4830/4850×2 you need either default natit , patched X2000.kext and patched framebuffer, or quail_natit , patched x2000.kext and patched framebuffers.
its awesome all files deleted! please upload files to a good server, there is nothing working here.
Can anyone explain why my PCI slot 1 shows 2 different ATI Radeon HD 4870s? I have the card working in 10.6.4, except for QE. the first instance shows type “ATY,MotmotParent” with “no” driver, while the second shows “display” and driver “yes” I assume that my problem has something to do with this, but I’m not sure where to go from here.
Thanks!
This is pathetic!
All download links are dead.
Why keep using uploading site that auto deletes files.
Humm torrents?
