MacOSX 10.6.2 Released
It reminds me good old days of 10.5.2, which brought support for many new vga cards.
So, what’s new in 10.6.2:
- 64-bit kexts for intel graphics
- 64-bit atheros driver
- support for desktop radeonhd 43xx/45xx/46xx (only dvi output works yet, dvi2vga dongle doesnt work) with beta booter(dont forget to unpack before installing;) )
- Bye bye atom, should be fixed as soon as apple releases kernel sources or use kernel&system.kext from 10.6.1
- better opencl support for radeons 4 series, also opencl support for 46xx cards
- Something I forgot to mention
- Radeon users need to use PCEFI 10.4.1 or 10.5, pre 10.4 will cause panic in ATIRadeonX2000.kext
- There is panic with geforce7 cards and 64-bit kernel mode, use 32-bit kernel mode
- New core i5/i7(8xx) is supported by vanilla kernel now.
How to update – it’s easy.
Use any disabler for AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext, for example – NullCPUPM.kext, install it to Extra mkext and reboot, of course if you made AppleIntelCPUPM to speedstep your cpu, you can skip this step.
Make backup of your kexts, you might need some.
Remove SleepEnabler.kext if you use it, this is very important step, old sleepenabler + new kernel = panic.
Hit the update button, if you need to edit some kexts AFTER update and BEFORE reboot – download and install update from apple site.
After reboot – re-add your device-ids to kexts where you need it and enjoy.
Updated sleepEnabler for 10.6.2 – link, I binpatched the old one, so don’t ask for sources, I don’t have them, install(if you want) only AFTER updating.
Radeon 4830/4850/4870×2/4890 users, tired of adding device-id to ATI4800Controller.kext after every update ? Use this kext in Extra mkext.
Also, for atheros users, here is legacy kext for it, to stop thinking about dev-id insertion after every update, we made it together with XyZ, add your dev-id to it in two places and install to Extra mkext, the unique feature of it is ability to load old kext in 32-bit mode and new kext in 64-bit mode, this is needed because some users have problems with signal level and new driver.
Radeon 4830/4870×2/4890 users – you need to install this pkg – qe_ci_exotic_10.6.2

Hi Guys, this all may be for nothing. The mac just went into Apple to get a repair. The logic board blew π
I may be getting a newer Mac Pro anyway.
If I could get the answers anyway I’d appreciate it (in case it’s jsut the Logic Board), if not for me, for the ones that want to do it after me.
Strange, after post 116 @ ROB G kext to solve nv 7xxx issue i am able to boot without KP, but KP appear accidentally after few minutes later with com.apple.GeForce(6.0.0)… I have 7600GS. Maybe I miss something different, anybody some hint here?
Bye, bye Celeron 430!
What can I do with this?
Help me!!
Can I obtain from you a ISO to install Leopard 10.6 in a HP laptop 6700 series with Audio and WIFI support? I can donate for support.

mine was hosed after the 10.6.2 update, even with Stellarosas V3 fix, as stated in the posts, a Geforce 7xxx series card is NOT supported without the -x32 boot flag, 64 bit drivers are not supported, now you can download old kext or try to use an injector, and it can work, but stuck at native resolution without multiple monitor support, I just bought a 20 dollar Geforce 8400 512m ddr2 card (pci xpress) and it worked just fine. all is well and now on 10.6.3
