Common instructions for 48×0 radeons and snow leopard
It’s easy and covers rv770/rv790 cards with two dvi ports and dvi display.
0) boot with -x option to get gui
1) install pc efi v10.3 with GraphicsEnabler=y option in boot.plist
2) reboot with -x option and check if card recognized in system profiler, maybe u will need to retry with -pci0 boot option
3) all but 4870: install pkg from this post
p.s. if u have mouse stuters try to change refresh rate to 59 hz with help of switchresx

No luck I’m afraid with trying to get my 4870×2 working in a MacPro…
MacPro 10.6.2, fully patched via Apple’s Software Update, booting in 32Bit…
Used KextHelper to install your Natit and ATY kexts (with help from Cindori providing some injected ROMs in a x2.zip file)
ASP shows them as loaded, hence I have the “core 1” string appearing and not the generic “Display” like before.
I have tried with 2600HD in PCIe Slot1, 4870×2 in PCIe Slot2 and Vice Versa.
The only difference in the above that I see is when 4870×2 is in slot2. The Displays System Preference registers a display connected to the 4870×2 @ 1920×1200. (it registers this whether a display is physically attached or not)…
I read somewhere that the 4870×2 should be in slot 2 with the 2600HD in slot 1… Does this matter?
mmm, what else can I tell you…
oh:
Using Console, I see in “All Messages”:

nit will not be done? I’m guessing this is the reason for the 4870×2 not coming alive…
Also, about 20 lines further down I see:
…

22/02/10 11:58:52 PM kernel ATY,Motmot: Not usable
…
which is “weird”… considering the display obviously works fine when connected to the 2600HD (DVI)…
Well, I hope this helps…
Hope to hear from you soon,
Cheers,
R.

Oh Netkas, your wmtransfer site is… well challenging… I gave up after reading that I have to fax to some number if I’m funding Z or E Purse etc etc…
I’ve got $100 AUD here to give you… surely there is another means that I can get it you?
(Money talks where I’m from, so hopefully I’m speaking your language)
Cheers,
