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
p.p.s. note our new file hosting.

netkas, everyone should remove AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext?
i’m on vanilla snow and ofcourse i load the vanilla AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement,
actually all my system kexts are vanilla, besides fakesmc
so?
///better to use nullcpupm than removing appleintelcpupm, except if you added p-states to your dsdt and enabled HPET in dsdt, so appleintelcpupm works and doesnt panic
W000t
great news 
So, any change for ATI Radeon 3870? Does it work with QE/CI now?
///No,
am i the only unlucky one who got a Dsmos kernel panic after updating? or am i being dumb and forgetting something simple?
dont use dsmos.kext anymore, use fakesmc.kext

something wrong with flashed 4890 (ATI Flashing Tool) after installing 10.6.2.
1) Graphics so laggy
2) fan on 4890 Became noisy
new “x2000.kext” and QE_CI Pkg for 10.6.2 is necessary for elimination of problems?

I netkas, any progress on HD2600 Mobility ? (works perfectly on external screen under 10.5.8… But no QE/CI or decent resolution on 10.6

Whatever, thanks for your great job !
Ok, i guess that was the last chance getting radeon 3870 series ever working.
Hope 4870 will soon work with 2x DVI Dual Monitor.
Anyway, many thanks netkas

I use a modified sleepenabler.kext that also blocks the appleupstreamuserclient.kext that causes mouse lag with some g92 cards. So I guess I have to wait on a modified 10.6.2 one, or can I find a better solution? Perhaps a kext dedicated to blocking that damn DRM kext.

I’m sorroy that my previous message is wrong.I originally mean that I replaced dsmos.kext with fakesmc.kext.Thanks.
Any idea when the new x2000 kext will be available?
///soon
After the update, too got a panic “com.apple.geforce(6.0.6)”. I have a Nvidia 7300GT.
@silentviper, @Brady87: booted into 32bit, seems to work iwth 7300GT with EFI string
Installation went smooth with my XFX 4890, except the Quartz graphics aren’t enabled (no ripply effects when adding a dashboard widget) anymore. I suppose this deals with the x2000.kext being outdated?
There is a problem with the EFI string for the nVidia 8800GT 512Mo.
This string causes a black screen on 10.6.2 boot.
Hoping for help…
Netkas I just wanted to mention there is additional nVidia support with the update aswell. All of the G200 series mobile gpus (the ones built off the 40nm chipset) are working now in 10.6.2. This includes ( but not limited to) GT1x0m series, GT2x0m series, GTS2x0 series, and GTX2x0 series. Pre-10.6.2 QE/CI worked but was rediculously slow and full of artifacts everywhere. 10.6.2 has full support, and everything works great (even out of the box on some systems with GraphicsEnabler)
Hey Netkas,
Thanks for the guide! I just updated to 10.6.2 from a fresh install, works great. Thanks for the SleepEnabler.
However, I’m having problems with my newly purchased Asus 4650 1gb ddr2 that I got this morning. I’m using DVI port (no converters).
I updated from a fresh install then edited the ATI..X2000.kext and the ATI4600..kext adding my dev id on both 0×9498 and I was also having a black screen (monitor going to sleep). I also tried the beta kext on irc and it was having the same black screen problem.
I made sure the beta boot files is installed and Graphics Enablers is in boot.plist.
I tried to play with kext and I’m suspecting that the one causing the black screen is the ATIFramebuffer.kext – I tried to remove it and it gives me video but it was so scattered. I could even notice the mouse moving but the video was so garbled and its all garbage. A lot of small squares colored purple (I think it is the default Snow wallpaper).
When I reinstall framebuffer, back to black screen.
Could it be that the framebuffer and ATIsupport.kext is the one causing the issue? Maybe it needs patching?
BTW, I also tried all scenarios in 10.6.1 with your beta kext (your old post) and it has the same issue.
I’m up for testing and I’ll be in IRC all the time.
Thank you

sorry for my poor english
FYI, after updating to 10.6.2 I can now use Vanilla Kernel on my i7 860 P55 system! Whoohoo! Systen Profiler says CPU is a quad-core Xeon but it’s better than nothing. 64-bit native and all seems to be working 100% (except for my ACL888 sound…still cannot find kexts for S/PDIF and line out).
Updated without any issues whatsoever!
(E5300, Jetway XBlue P43 mobo, alc883 etc)
and i confirm this, my nvidia go 7400 hangs when enter gui interface just as SilentViper
And the fakesmc also shows as
FakeSMC: key info not found MSDS, length – 6
FakeSMC: key not found BEMB, length – 1
yes of course i added p-states and everything, power management works 100%
i just started the update now, i trust my vanilla
that was fast
not a single issue after reboot cause my mod kexts are on /EFI partition
so no vga on 4670 what about hdmi? because i only have a vga monitor do you think it could be enabled or fixed
///hdmi need some cable repluging after os booted
i heard already of problems with gf7 in early beta builds
Thanks! Atheros works excellent.

Never been a problem since 10.0.0 Vanilla Kernel
Hey Netkas :
You are da man ! But I got a few questions. Note I used myHack to set up SL on my Asus N80Vb laptop.
1. I already updated to 10.6.1 with no edits whatsoever.
2. If I update same way will I have issues ?
3. How do I find out if am using NullCPUPM.kext ?
4. A more indepth guide would be nice though
Thanks For Answering !
Netkas, thanks sooo much to you and others assisting with this!
I experienced KP’s on boot due to PowerManagement and SleepEnabler (I couldn’t find SE to delete before restart, might be in my EFI partition).
Replaced with NullCPUPM.kext and new sleepenabler, all good!
I also tried out your AtherosFix and it’s alive!!!
Thanks again, you’re an absolute legend!
i heard already of problems with gf7 in early beta builds
so you mean gf7 would lack of support from 10.6.2
bad luck!

Re geforce and kernel panic. I booted with the -x prompt via blackosx Boot CD Version 1.01. For graphics I had been using a string in the boot plist in Library/Preferences/System Configuration. Once I took that string out and then used nvinject 0.2.2 from kexts.com, I was able to boot without panic. I just noticed that VLC player now shows a blank/black screen. I will try booting with -X32 and see if that sorts that out. Getting there.
After update I’ve only this new message:
FakeSMC: key not found BEMB, length – 1
ASUS P5KC DSDT HPET,RTC,UHCI,EHCI,(SATA & TMfix done but not working)
when i load with my 4670 -x i get vesa graphics but without i get garbled i which is wierd i thought i should get a black screen with vga
For any one using Nvidia 7300gt Graphic Card, add the following kext to your Extra folder that will stop KP after GUI
* NVInject – An Nvidia graphic injector *x64 only
* Natit – Graphic injector KEXT with editable paramaters.
You get get these from Stella’s blog http://stellarola.tumblr.com/post/165429070/prepare-yourself
for those with geforce 7xxx cards — try booting with -x32
this is the only way for me to boot (almost) normally
it’s way better than -x
Shaanky98, Thank you. It’s works. But it bad solutions( graphic performance go down.
Why you use 2 injectors? Maybe NVinject only?
GraphicEnabler in Chameleon doesn’t solve this problem?
So… still wait for normal solution.
Thnx for this nice piece of information netkas!
Can anybody provide me with information on adding p states to my g31m s2l with c2d CPU on it? I never got it to work and i want to get ridd of the null- kext…
Thanx Netkas… Successfully updated to 10.6.2….
Same problems as any other users.
installing working great without any problems but when i boot i got a black screen. my Mouse is showing and i can move it.

any solutions?

Hi netkas.
I have a problem.
I have Acer Extensa 5220 with Retail SL 10.6.0. Update without problems to 10.6.1
Today I update to 10.6.2.
I download the mac os x 10.6.2 update from apple site.
Overwrite the NullCPU file in my Extra Extensions folder with your new file.
Install the update and reboot.
At reboot, In Chameleon’s 2RC3 with pcefi 10.5 screen, I choose my SL disk. But after 3 second my notebook reboot.
I try to start SL with arch=i386 or arch=x86_64 , but same thing. Notebook reboot.
In -v I see the kext load. at the finish of load i can’t read 1 line ,but the notebook reboot again.
Can you Help me?
Thank you very very much for you hard work.
Bye bye.
Shaanky98, I boot 32bit mode (in chameleon write «arch=i386» or if you have PC EFI «-x32»)
This is better solution that injectors.
ALC1200 users (I’m on a p5q), reinstall AppleHDA.kext to get sound back.
The 10.6.2 update works on Sapphire 4890, but no QE/CI and screen just stuck on 1280×1024 stretch mode) and can’t get dual dvi extend mode. There was such problem with 10.6.1 (no 10.6.1 QE_CI_exotic). … is ATIX2000.kext causing the problem? if so… we desperately need x2000 update from you netkas…
Again…. million thanks!
Errata:
……..There was “no” such problem with 10.6.1 (no 10.6.1 QE_CI_exotic)……
sorry..
I was pleased with a nvinject 64 kext, then found it wasn’t working with VLC player, etc. ‘Snow Leopard NVEnabler’ on kexts.com works perfectly with my 7300GS, CI/QE – but only using the -X32 prompt at boot. It will do me for now.
Thanks again for your 10.6.2 install tutorial, Netkas.
For the moment I delete the new mach_kernel and install the old Kernel 10.0.0 and notebook works.
But i like to use 10.2.0
for people getting FakeSMC: key info not found msg,
just add these 3 keys into your fakesmc plist and the msg will go away.

Hi!
Thx Netkas!
After update, all work fine wtih 7600GT EFI String.
P.S. I always boot with Kernel Flags arch=i386.
How can i disable GraphicEnabler in EFI partition?
I am using HD4650 but if I enable GraphicEnabler, “_CST evaluation fail” will occur.
I don’t know why but now I hang at there.
How can I solve it?

The patched x2000 kexts gives me a kernel panic in both 32 and 64 bit. Also with the 10.6.1 kernel. With 10.6.2. also Netkas’ working 10.6.1. x2000 gives a KP.
Tried most permutations, I’ll try the new X2000 on a 10.6 or 10.6.1 system and see what gives…
Rooq
damnit…. no support for atom is bad news((
why old System.kext is needed? just old Kernel will not boot the system with System.kext from 10.6.2?
Using sleepenabler.kext for 10.6.2 i got kp, but i remove it then works perfectly.
Thanks master netkas

i dont know how to rebuild the kextcache file located in /extra
so i pulled the drive after i Broke it LOL—-
I installed the bootloader to it again and just didnt click on the sleepenable,
i have the GA p45 and for some strange reason… the BIOS reset… and that is a issue because
By default in the bios it turns NATIVE and AHCI off so it wont boot , making you think there is another issue if you have not caught on.
but its back up now 10.6.2 however i would like to know how to rebuild the kextcache file chances are you will ignore me because i suppose this is something i should already know. but i dont know lol just incase you feel like being nice and telling me

But now to the bad part for me =/
I use a 4870×2 (0×94411002) which worked fine with 10.6.1 and CI/QE for exotic cards. After updating to 10.6.2 i everything works fine without CI/QE patch. I installed the new package for 10.6.2 which traps now into a kernel panic on boot (except safe mode). I made a picture with my cam for you, i hope it helps for fixing the X2000 ATI package problem.
Many thanks for distributing packages to us!

Hi netkas,
I tried unplugging and replugging the DVI port as you suggested but it is still no go.
My video card has 3 ports (HDMI, VGA, DVI) – my monitor has VGA and DVI. I also tried using a converter dvi to vga dongle and it still has black screen.
I went ahead and accessed my black screen mac using VNC from my laptop Win7 – and I noticed that under Graphics Display (system profiler), “Display Connections:” are blank. There are two instances of “Display Connections:” – both blank. I also chcked resolution changes and it gives options to change resoultion but it was not optimal to my monitor. My monitor can only achive 1600×900 but the options give me 1650×1050 which is not about right. I also tried adding Graphics Mode in boot.plist to have 1600x900x32 but it was still the same.
Maybe you could help us

If you use all the gefore and nvidia kext from 10.6.1 there is not panic for the the seven series cards in 64 bit. You will also have q/i and c/i. I am posting the needed kext at the Dell xps 410 resource extravaganza thread over at inscanely mac.

After that it is fine, though – with EFI 10.5 and graphicsenabler=yes.
Have GForce 7 issue ( KP ) , but like you mentioned – booting -x32 instead of -x64 and everything is fine. Seems like I have to change GFX soon to get my 64bit Kernel back.
Thanks Netkas !
I upgraded last night to 10.6.2 according to netkas’s guide and it all went smooth. There’s 1 thing that’s bother me though, but it’s a minor issue though. I compared my previous geekbench score @ 10.6.1 it’s about 13400 but now @ 10.6.2 I only get ~12500, did anybody get any performance drop after the upgrade?
my hd4890 wont work, i manage to gt it work on 10.6.1 with patched ati4800controller , x2000 and evoenabler…but now is stuck, after i installer QE/CI patch, also my fan now run a way too fast and noisy….any help?
Hey netkas and community – a LOT of people are having big problems with 10.6.2 and nVidia, specifically seeing black screens when starting up, or WindowServer freezing and pegging out the CPU if certain monitors are plugged in. Myself, I have an nVidia 8600M in my laptop, but there are a TON of other people with 8xxx/9xxx series GPUs (desktops too) that are seeing this issue after upgrading 10.6.1 to 10.6.2. I’m trying to solve it on insanelymac but netkas, since you’re the resident genius, what’s the chance you could touch us with your noodly appendage and help us plebes with this annoying 10.6.2 blocker? Thanks!
@spanakorizo: What is your configuration. MoBo, VC? Thanks, Eugene
I LOVE YOU GUYS FINAlly supprt for 46xx radeon i’ve been planning a hackintosh now for a month saving up and now I dont need to buy a new GF card. Thanx!
Hallo guys… i don’t understand if we must replace ATI4800Controller.kext with LegacyATI4800Controller.kext or if i must install LegacyATI4800Controller.kext without remove the old ATI4800Controller.kext.
Thanks for reply

Here are the Kext to get rid of the Kernel Panic with nvidia 7 series cards in 10.6.2. Full Q/I and C/I. just download and place in /System/Library/Extensions/ http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4MDBCGL8
Discovered that the fix for the issue with black screen and WindowServer freezing is to revert to the 6.0.2 versions of the NVDAResman and NVDANV50Hal kexts from 10.6.1. The 10.6.2 version (6.0.6) causes the freeze.
Now my Snow Leopard 10.6.2 with Nvidia GeForce 9500 GT 1GB works fine!!
The only thing i have to was:
- delete EFI String from com.apple.Boot.plist
- download “NVEnabler 64.kext” from kexts.com
- put it into /Extra/Extensions
- make new Extensions.mkext with “kext utility”
reboot and anything was fine
thx Netkas!!
I Removed old SleepEnabler.kext and update with the new SleepEnabler for 10.6.2 and everything seems ok; but if I try to sequence sleep and then restart the pc does not restart and the fans remaining on.
Any solutions?
A temporary solution (nvidia 7x and suppose 8x) update to 10.6.2 backup graphic extensions plugs, etc. of 10.6.1 (GeForce.kext, geforce.bundled’s, NVDAN’s, etc…) then init in 32 bits 10.6.2 and reinstall backup graphics 10.6.1
Kernel Panic for me, Blue and black screen with corrupted image. I’m almost sure the problem is with HD4850 as usual. Tried to:
- Removed sleepenabler.kext, applecpupowermanagement.kext, applegraphicspowermanagement (before install update 10.6.2)
- restore deviceid in ati4800controller.kext,
- reinstalled all previous kexts working on 10.6.1,
- instaled EFI 10.5, was using 10.4.1 in SL10.6.1
No luck with any of these steps…
I’m able to boot from Darwin Boot CD in safe mode (-x) ethernet working but stretched low res video but it sucks!!! Can’t boot in safe mode directly from HD though.
Also: HD4850 listed as 4890 in system information.
If anyone has a solution please post!

First of all, great job…
SL 10.6.1 worked perfect with PC EFI 10.5, GraphicsEnabler, LegacyATI4800controller and your fantastic exotic 10.6.1 pkg an my Asus Radeon 4890 EAH.
!0.6.2 update corrupted my graphics… Even though i followed your instructions my system boots to a corrupted graphic screen (nothing is readable).
Maybe a misspathed ATIRADEON2000.kext inside your new exotic pkg?
Even tried -useatirom. Same result.
SAFE MODE IS WORKING!
My machine: Modded bios ASUS p5q-EM,Q8400,8GB RAM,EAH4890 by ASUS.
Keep doing great things Netkas…
///correct permissions for kexts
By the way netkas -useatirom with my EAH4890 original bios gave me usable dvi and dvi2vga dual monitoring. Farest from my motherboard is DVI screen recognized as 1st monitor and dvi2vga closest to my motherboard is recognized as 2nd monitor!
Just luck? The cables must be connected prior boot of my system.
Hi Netkas!
At first i want to thank you for you great work for the OSX community!
But now to the bad part for me =/
I use a 4870×2 (0×94411002) which worked fine with 10.6.1 and CI/QE for exotic cards. After updating to 10.6.2 i everything works fine without CI/QE patch. I installed the new package for 10.6.2 which traps now into a kernel panic on boot (except safe mode). I made a picture with my cam for you, i hope it helps for fixing the X2000 ATI package problem.
Many thanks for distributing packages to us!
Error-Picture: http://s8.directupload.net/images/091110/ojqop7dt.jpg
P.S.: Has anyone a working 4870×2 with CI/QE (Saphire 2048MB version)
I’m getting a KP with the new QE_CI_exotic_10.6.2 and my 4870X2 which is confirmed working in 10.6.1. I only installed the ATIRadeonX2000.kext as I had already added my devid to ATI4800Controller.kext. With X2000 removed, I can get to the desktop without QE/CI, but with it I get a KP right before desktop loads.
charles for bios reset with gigabyte, take a look at this
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=%20180954
and also there
http://www.darwinx86.org/applications/extensions/168-extensions-snow-leopard
for kext named “ElliottForceLegacyRTC.kext”
Re Rooq:
Are you using a 4870×2 by any chance? I have a similar situation the 10.6.2 kext for ATi give KPs no matter what, unless I boot with the -x flag.
I am also getting the 4870X2 kernel panic with the X2000.kext. Can’t seem to work around it
No KP, but my monitor shows “Input Not Supported” right after the gray boot screen…
Any ideas?
Only read one person mention this.. SleepEnabler.kext gives me kp. The old one works fine.. can only test 32 bit.
One of those already mentioned “key” msgs for FakeSMC and that’s it

@Txabi, Netkas
Yup, its a 4870X2 (two of then actually) Working in SL10.6.1 and the X2000 gives a KP in 10.6.2,
Actually the same one as fuxx posted in a picture here
The 10.6.1 patched versions of 4800, x2000 and Atiframebuffer.kext (these three are loaded on a correct working set)
I think we can safely conclude that the patched x2000 for 10.6.2 does not work. Hopefully Netkas can fix this. (actually using only the patched 10.6.1 x2000 gets me a garbled desktop. Everything in place and functioning, but wrong/bad graphics)
Help us ‘obi wan ke-’netkas
you’re our only hope on SL-love for the 4870X2

Hi all,
I found one major issue in connection with an ATI4850 card, which I have: After the reboot, the screen stays gray (or sometimes scrambled).
SOLUTION: I moved the ATI4500Controller.kext and ATI4600Controller.kext out of the way (Actually, I renamed them). Now, everything works fine.
Hope this helps even for other ATI graphic cards,
AlienFan
@ Mac_Dude
I confirm that it works on GeForce 7200 and 7300 GT, thus everyone with KP in 64 bit mode with h geforce7 cards refer to Mac_Dude’s post #139. Thanks you Mac_Dude, you did it. Just for the record are those kexts from 10.6.1?
I got a Sapphire Vapor-X Radeon HD 4890 and the new 10.6.2 exotic driver enabled QE and CI, it seems to be working fine.
Do I need to install the ATIFramebuffer.kext? What is it supposed to do?
New to this hackintosh scene and don’t understand 100% what is going on with the required kexts.
netkas, would it be possible to compile latest version of your chameleon (boot, boot0, boot1h) with additional function by signal64 found here:
http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,866.0.html
It enables full usb support (and by extension restart with EvOReboot) on Asus P5N7A-VM without messing around with bios settings which cause issues in windows.
@mildcat
Hey .. I really did not understand what you said because it may be too technical for me. But as I look at it, are you talking about +5v rail power or a 16-pin separate power for the card? It also seems that you know what youre talking about
My 4650 does not have a separate power pin. It just uses the PCIe power.
Lol .. I really don’t know if I made sense but do you think there is a possibility of a fix? The reason I ask is Newegg only gives me 1 month to return this for a full refund. If I exceed those days, ill just waste money
By the way, maybe you could post thread in Insanelymac so we can do some tests or if you find a solution.
Thanks.

Hi, I was able to install 10.6.2.
I am a little confused though.
I have a gigabyte g45 ud3 mb. with q9550. and gtx 260.
Everything seems to work fine (quartz extreme etc), but the screen gets corrupted sometimes.
1) Adobe pdf reader, acrobat pro, the font for editable field would be blank, or, if i move an object, it will leave traces.
2) Finder sometimes (VERY rarely) gets its widgets for the windows also corrupted.
3) VirtualBox, 3d OpenGL with seamless mode would show black windows.
I think this is all related to the same issue, but can’t figure out what it is.
If i disable NVDIA drivers, no QE then it will work fine. no corruption.
and with an ATI, it works fine. But if i put another Nvdia, like the gts250, it also gets corrupted.
What am I missing?
3d games, opengl benchmark etc all work fine.
The system Info, reports my card fine (gtx 260, correct amount of ram etc).
I can’t get work qe on my Radeon 4870 512

@ AlienFan
Hey can you give som more background information please.
1. Do you use graphicsenabler or hex string in boot.plist?
2. Do you inject any video BIOS with chameleon?
3. You renamed the ATI4500Controller.kext and ATI4600Controller.kext in S/L/E, correct?
4. Do you use any other files in your Extra folder?
For my it works with 10.6.1 with hex or graphicsenbaler plus device ID in ATI4500Controller.kext up to now. would be great if you could reply!
Thanks
Hi! There is a problem with my SL installation:
After upgrade to 10.6.2 I use Chameleon v2 RC3 with Netkas boot and had only “right” FakeSMC and PlatformUUID kexts in Extra/Extansions besides a had DSDT.aml (made by “ACPI Patcher” and compiled without any problems).
By the way I have MOBO MSI 945gcm5-f V2 and ASUS HD4350 (devid 0x954F)
After Upgrade I had 1024x768x32 without any kexts/
After writing my devid into atiradeonx2000 & ati4500controller I couldn’t boot – I have KP in ordinary boot (problem with atiradeonx2000) and I have “freezing” before switching in graphic mode with “-x” option
@104th post: nothing change
also getting KP about ATIRadeonX2000.kext on my 4850×2 with 10.6.2
Already tried many different combinations.
When you are saying something like
“Radeon 4830/4850/4870×2/4890 users ….”,
does this always also include 4850×2 users or is there something different?
Thanks
@Gagi
It seems that the X2′s in general give a KP in the X2000.kext. I’m curious if it’s just the X2′s or also Multiple 4870′s which are getting a KP.
If it’s just the X2′s then we may be screwed untill Ati releases new drivers or Netkas finds out what the problem is and he can fix it. As i think netkas only patched the X2000 binary inside the X2000.kext to match card ID’s (abracadabra to me;-)
So the Kext loads and then barfs on the X2′s
@Netkas, any news on this? I suppose you don’t have a X2 at your disposal?
Thnks, Rooq
great
works fine
i wanna to buy a new video card http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?psn=000101&pid=273
this card works fine on 10.6.2? vga/hdmi/dvi works?
sorry my bad english!
thank you!
ATI MOBILITY LIKE 4530 OR 4560 DOES IT WORK :’( ?:S?
I’m pretty sure Netkas does a binary patch to X2000.kext, not just adding devids. Also, this problem seems to be affecting 4890s as well as the x2 cards, so I don’t think it is just the x2 problem. More than likely, if a single 4870 is working, having two should work as well, just not on the same board. I’m surprised Netkas hasn’t come back here to give us some insight as to why it isn’t working. He’s usually on here pretty quick with the comments.
I think the i5/i7 support in 10c540 is not complete yet. The new quadcores ship with a custom os build (mac os x 10.6.2 build 10c2234). The vanilla kernel boots with my i5, but sata/usb and cpu in “about this mac” are “Unknown”, I guess the P55 drivers are not included in 10c540. Have to wait for 10.6.3 …
Hi. I have some problem after update. I have freeze apple logo or black screen if i boot with -v option. Kext load from /Extra/10.6/Extensions on my flash drive and then freeze…
Did patched to 10.6.2 after removing sleepenabler.kext and updated with latest sleepenabler for 6.2. My 7300GT failed to work and that was fixed by installing new 64bit nvinject.kext to Extra/Extensions and removing the EFI strings from com.apple.boot.

> 1. Do you use graphicsenabler or hex string in boot.plist?
I use plain GraphicsEnabler=”Yes” and PCEFI 10.5
> 2. Do you inject any video BIOS with chameleon?
No, no injection at all.
> 3. You renamed the ATI4500Controller.kext and ATI4600Controller.kext in S/L/E, correct?
Yes, essentially, I renamed both in a way they end now with “.old”.
> 4. Do you use any other files in your Extra folder?
Sure, the new SleepEnabler.kext as well as other usual suspects. Can’t remember which of them. At least I have LegacyATI….kext in there, too. But I is my DevID in ATI4800Controller.kext as well, just to be sure.
>For my it works with 10.6.1 with hex or graphicsenbaler plus device ID in >ATI4500Controller.kext up to now. would be great if you could reply!
Why that? Don’t you use a 48XX ATI card? Well, here’re my specs:
Gigabyte GA 945GMZ-DS2
Intel C2D 1.86 Ghz
4GB DDR2
Gigabyte 4850 1GB Silent (the version without a fan)
as well as 2xDVR-RAM, SATA-PCIe controller with 1xHDD attached, 2 internal SATA HDD, Bluetooth dongle (USB), Card reader (USB), etc.
Everything is properly recognized and supported by SnowLeo. Even my USB KVM switch.
Cheers,

Problem solved. I just put kernel from 10.6.1

Hi!
And HD2600XT, the same card as Imacs have?
My friend has one that even show firmware update on 10.5.8.
Does it run on 10.6.2?
Just updated to 10.6.2 and can’t get my Radeon 4850 to work…
Had it working with QE/CI perfectly on 10.6.1 with GraphicsEnabler=Yes and QE/CI Package.
Tried QE/CI Package for 10.6.2, although 4850 is not mentioned, but after booting screen is corrupted. Have to uninstall it.
Now I just have minimal graphics without QE/CI and no resolution switching.
Any idea?
I wonder if it is right that ATI4800Controller.kext only consists of the Info.plist?
@thyBigfoot
I have the same problem. Installed QE/CI Package for 10.6.2 too and still got corrupted screen.
How can I unistall it?
Also, my 4850 is recognized in the system as 4890. Have you checked yours? I think this is part of the problem.
I have applied the qe_ci_exotic_10.6.2 but no success. Still no QE

@AlienFan
Thanks for your reply. Sorry, it did get it wrong. I did not read carefully. You renamed the ATI4500Controller.kext and ATI4600Controller.kext not the ATI4800Controller.kext. Sorry, this makes sense of course.
I’ll give it a try with a clone of my MacHD, to have a backup – just in case.
Thanks!
@thyBigfoot and @bomson
What do you mean with QE/CI Package? I never installed any special packages and had QE/CI in 10.6. Can you please clarify why you install a special package.
I had not problems with HD4850 from Asus and His. Only both cards at same time need really long to boot but work.
Regards
BerlinDude
For work ATI4850 and no kernel panic in Radeon2000 you must delete 4500 and 4600 kext’s. and reboot with -f flag…
If this not work, install EVOEnabler.kext and enjoy!
Hi netkas and esteemed fellow hackintoshers! Pure bloody pleasure to read the stuff on these pages,as I am a tragic hackintosh addict. Couldn’t sleep for two nights in row,because,after 10.6.2 update my GTX 295,which was working perfectly in 10.6.1,installed using “digital dreamer” script,stopped working, i.e system hangs b4GUI and stays there 4ever. Solved the problem with beta boater with GraphicsEnabler=Yes and using 10.6.1 NV kexts and booting in 32bit mode,using Ati_init.kext with correct device ID in NVHAL50. Is there any way to get it working in 64bit mode? Another question: Is there AppleRTL8169 64 bit? My Realtek based Belkin nic not working in 64 bit mode. Mucho gracias Seniores/Senioritas!
SleepEnabler.kext is not working.
Also, I lost my sound ALC888 on EX58-UD4.
Everything else is fine now.
10.6.2 perfectly running on Inspiron 1525! infinite thanks Netkas. Any idea if a specific Sigmatel STAC 92XX kext will be available any time soon? Why do I get an error reading memory info at About this mac info?
@Rob G
I downloaded and installed the Kext from http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4MDBCGL8 in /System/Library/Extensions/. Well, I did not have KP anymore. But I am stuck in 1280×1024 resolution. My question is what did you use to enable Nvidia card? — NVenabler, EFI string or something else? I use EFI String in com.apple.Boot.plist. Thanks.
Installed 10.6.2 on my i7 860/Asus P7P55D Deluxe – all work normal with vanilla kernel, but with Netkas PC EFI 10.5 boot clock runs very fast (about 2-3 times faster) with i5boot clock works normal.
Netkas please add i5 7xx and i7 8xx support to your boot.
@Rob G
followed u instruction. No more kp but I am stuck in 1280×1024. Can’t change resolution.
Did u use EFI sting in com.apple.boot.plist or Nvenabler or sth else? Thanks
Nice Work Dude,
running 10.6.2 right now in 64 bit with nvidia7600gt and Asus p5W Dh Deluxe and Empire EFI 1.0.
first i screwed things up but fixed it with 2. HDD where Leopard still is installed.
Backup your Extensions and Extra Folder
Install manually the update
DON’T Restart
first do this:
So for the nvidia you have to take and copy all files from Mac Dude (Comment 145) (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4MDBCGL8) to Library/Extensions as mentioned above. and take the new NullCPU from Netkas above and replace it with your old one in Extra/Extensions
then fix permissions with Confi’s pfix (with empire EFI – located in yout root) via Terminal:
sudo -s
password
cd /Volumes/yourdiskname
./pfix
/Volumes/yourdiskname
AFTER THAT restart
and start with -x32 and fix permissions
then restart
all all should be fine as mine
hm just saw now
firewire is not showing up…
and USB is not USB2.0
only 12Mbit/s
;-(
what can we do? Need new Kext?
Got it finally working with Radeon 4850!
1. Install combo update from Apple, not just online update:
http://tinyurl.com/yg23zyb
2. Login afterwards in single user mode an delete ATI4500 and ATI4600 kext.
3. Delete Kext Cache at /System/Library/Caches
4. Add device id (0×94421002) to ATI4800.kext/Content/Info.plist
Do not install qe-ci-exotic package. That didn’t work for me at all…
Good luck!
A problem with this Lynnfield CPUs is, that the RealTimeClock does not work correctly in Mac OS X with current PC-EFI releases.
Vip-Stranger..you write:
2kone thanks
Now my Snow Leopard 10.6.2 with Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT 1GB works fine!!
- delete EFI String from com.apple.Boot.plist
- download “NVEnabler 64.kext” from kexts.com
- put it into /Extra/Extensions
- make new Extensions.mkext with “kext utility”
reboot and anything was fine
thx 2kone”
Yes is all RIGHT !! in 64 Bit Mode not work my Graphiccard with QE/CI. Not work
Picture-Preview (can not see Picture with .jpeg and.tiff etc.) Screensaver (what is in 3D not work) and OpenCL-Demo-Galaxies not work.
In 32 BIt-Mode not Problems, woks all with OpenGL (QE/CI).
Hav you Tipp for me ? we works in 64 Bit-Mode ???
Thank You.
please netkas look at this:
http://pastebin.com/m65de9fcc
i get some weird error in console log for fakesmc
remoced IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector.kext (insatlled accidentally) and repaired again permission via pfix now USB is acting 480Mbit/s but no friewire – everything else is rocking Thanx to Netkas…
Actually, 64-bit driver for Intel graphics works strange on my MacBook. When I sleep the system in 64-bit mode it just doesn’t wake up then…
I mean system wakes up but display does not.
@rooq and the other 4870×2 people:
I had to re-install the combo update, and just keep the ATI4800Controller.kext. And make sure you remove your kext caches.
It seems the patched qu-ci-exotic package hoses things for the 4870×2. However with the combo update drivers, there does not seem to be QE enabled. At least I get no display rotation for my secondary screen.
I was mostly interested in seeing if 10.6.2 contained drivers for the ATI x2 boards that were more promising for OpenCL performance (since I am very interested in stream/data parallel algorithms).
So, I made a mirror of my snow leopard 10.6.1 install on an external.
1. Installed new NullCPU kext
2. Rebooted
3. Installed 10.6.2 update
4. Removed DSMOS, fakesmc, sleepenabler kexts
5. Rebooted, and it worked!
THEN, I repeated the procedure on my internal HD, and now both the external and internal installs hang on boot — the last thing it says in -v is “Waiting for DSMOS…”
Help! Any suggestions?
The sources:
http://www.opensource.apple.com/release/mac-os-x-1062/
@thyBigfoot
Did you reinstall the update combo(step 1) and restarted or applied steps 2, 3 and 4 immediatelly after reinstall without reboot?
To login in single user mode I use just -S in boot menu or do I have to use -X(safe mode) also?
Is anyone familiar with binary patching the files required? Maybe Netkas made a little mistake or something. I would like to try it cause I hate waiting, but I don’t know which parts of the binary to hex edit.
Used the combo update with Netkas’ instructions. No boogeymen Works fine, Thanks Netkas’

Please any confirm the 10.6.2 will support QE/CI for ATI HD4550 or HD4350. I need to get low profile/half height card for my PC. Many Thanks.
For the black screen on bootup issue due to the incompatibility with the efi string used for my nvidia 9500 gt, I only replaced the nvdanv50hal and nvdaresman kexts with the ones from 10.6.1 and everything is working ok (QE/CI and resolution fully supported). Also I’m running in 64-bit mode.

Hi all!
And about HD2600XT, the same card as Imacs have?
My friend has one that even show firmware update on 10.5.8.
Does it run on 10.6.2? Any news?
hi! i got ati4670 and old Vga monitor
Can’t reach desktop as i got just blank screen in 10.6.2
I badly need that you make Vga or DVI-VGA dongle work as soon as possible with your fantastic pc-efi
Thx in advance
Done it! Sound and sleep work!
EX58-UD4 – restored old ALC888 and installed both sleepenabler.kext and Null from netkas.
Thanks!
Still I have an issue:
FakeSMC: key info not found MSDS, length – 6
Cannot figure out what it means.
Hi Maclover, also have a 4350 lowprofile for my media PC. If 10.6.2 will support QE/CI HD4350 I would like to see someone who shares the way it works. Tried it with the files from netkas, beta bootloader and Device ID 0x954F1002, no succes. I can boot into Snow 10.6.2 but no QE/CI! Only one Resolution. What’s wrong with the way I did it? Any help?
@flamenco
If you want to get rid of that FakeSMC error add this to your fakesmc.kext plist
MSDS
It must allow posting certain characters. Let me try that again add this (without the quotes of course)
“MSDS”
“”
Ok so that didn’t work either. Basically add an MSDS key with a blank string to your fakesmc.kext info.plit.

I did the upgrade I get Version Mismatch between Kernel and CPU. also get sk.triaxis.kext.SleepEnabler message.
Boot with -f boots fine.
I rebuilt the cache using kext utility and also tried pfix.
I have Dell 1720 Centrino Duo 2.0 Ghz, 4GB DDR2, Nvidia 8600M GT.
Any Ideas??
I have what appears to be a unique problem, haven’t seen anyone with this problem yet:
I have Radeon 4670, so booting normally gives me jumbled screen, but I can boot into safe mode. In safe mode, I was able to install the 10.6.1 update fine, but whenever I try to install the 10.6.2 update, it always kernel panics near the end. It doesn’t screw anything up, because I can reboot again, try again, and have the same problem. Does anyone have a solution for this?
I have a Powercolor ATI4770 graphics card. After setting up GraphicsEnabler and bootbeta, I added the ATI4770′s device ID to the ATI4600 kext, installed and rebuilt extensions.mkext
On reboot, just before the desktop would appear, my monitor tells me “Current input timing not supported by monitor, please change to 1680×1050@60 or any other listed timing as per the monitor specification.” I can remove the hard drive, put it in a caddy and edit it on another laptop if anyone can tell me what I need to change, or is there something I can type at boot?
* minus the word ‘another’ – ATI4770 meaning desktop; the hard drive I can put in a caddy attached to a laptop, to edit plists, etc, suggestions welcome.
FakeSMC: key info not found MSDS, length – 6 FIX
You can fix this error message easily by editing the info.plist from the fakesmc.kext
Just add the key MSDS and on the value leave the string empty
MSDS
Cheers.
NullCPUPM.kext, install it to Extra mkext and reboot.
Do i install this file in /Extra/Extensions or
what do you mean with “Extra mkext” ?
Cheers
@Meanwhile
I would suggest that you enable VNC on you hack by going to System Preference > Sharing > Just enable “Screen Sharing” and putting password on VNC (something like that, I forgot the exact words). Of course, in order to do that, you have to boot in to OSX first. Boot into single user mode and temporarily remove all the ATI kext from /S/L/E so you could boot in at least VESA – in order for you to check screen sharing AND enable static IP on your OSX (make sure to take note of it). After checking Screen Sharing and putting a password / Enabling Static IP, Install TightVNC on your laptop and remote access it – you just have to put the static IP. From there you can change the resolution of your OSX.
Maybe you could also try in chameleon boot -v “Graphics Mode”=”1680×1050@60″
Good luck.
Sorry guys, just to let u keep informed that with Geforce 7300GS i am unable to get QE/CI. I tried multiple installs i tried Rob G’s method with it’s posted kexts but i get only 1024×768 resolution. Well i tried another way which was to take the original kexts from 10.6.0 it gave me the native resolution but no QE/CI. I have a question do i have to boot SL without dsdt.aml or is it still required secondly is it also required that EFI string should be injected?
Please netkas do help me.
I’m sure Netkas is really busy trying to address all these issues we’re having, but is there a word from the master himself when we can expect to see some update?
FakeSMC: key info not found MSDS, length – 6 FIX

Good evening,
Great job, is there a way to activate the screen with an ATI HD 4530
because with the boot loder beta black screen on all VGA and HDMI LCD of HP dv7 and he can insert the ktext’s dong to have the 3D acceleration and resolution
if you don’t understand and you can speak french :
Bonsoir ,
super boulot , y a t-il un moyen d’activer l’écran avec une cartes graphique ATI HD 4530
car avec le boot loder béta écran noir sur toutes les sorties VGA HDMI et écran LCD du HP dv7 et t-il possible d’inseré le ktext de dong afin d’avoir l’accélération 3d et la résolution
the best nono
@nomi
I have GF 7300GS , a dsdt.aml , kext from Rob G installed with OSX86tools.
copied the new Sleepenabler.kext then I`d run kexthelper.
Have 64bit Kernel and QE/CL without a KP
BTW forgot to mention – if youre missing “Auto” Sleep -> This App will do the trick

I talked to Netkas on IRC last night, we can’t figure out the problem, the files are patched correctly. It’s gonna take some more investigative work.
In the meantime, is it possible to downgrade to 10.6.1? If I installed the combo upgrade for 10.6.1, would it “overwrite” the 10.6.2 files properly?
hi rishi can you help my pro still 10.6.2 cant boot
i install one harddrive snowleopard and server
ple help thanks
Mano use the same kext from 10.6.1 that worked. Use them in 10.6.2 and it will work. Appleahciport.kext is the one u need. I’ll try to upload for you when I get home. What kind of computer are u using?
thanks for reply my system s5000xvn how to edit appleahciport.kext thanks agan ati 4870 i use evoenabler
Any luck yet on getting dual displays to work with a 48xx series video card?
do u know how to fix this

any news about fixing kernel panic after installing 10.6.2 i think this update of 10.2 kernel affecting my boot (errorsssssssssssssssssssssssssss)
Confirm working here ! after up to 10.6.2 I only apply this and my 4890 on MPro with dual mon work perfectly same as b4 on 10.6.1 !
Thank you so much for this fast and great update job – netkas ! ! !
I only download and apply this :
Radeon 4830/4870×2/4890 users – you need to install this pkg – qe_ci_exotic_10.6.2
This thread got out of control.
I’ve tried every combination of um/modified 4800 , legacy4800, evoenabler, etc and all have same corrupted screen immediately after boot. I’ve come to the conclusion that netkas qe/qi patch fubared my .6.2 system and I can’t figure out how to remove/undo netkas’s patch. Runnin a EAH4850 ASUS here (well, was) Used a modified 4800kext+evoenabler in .6.1 and worked fantastic. Installed the qe/qi and blam – death. Does anyone know how to remove the qe/qi package? cheers,

i’ve update to 10.6.2 on my lenovo g410, but the wifi (BCM43xx) is can’t use anymore. Someone have the solution??
can anybody tell me how to do step by step about install this atheros kext? I am a new guy into Apple World.
Hi, could you help?
I have searched any info for clear answer: is Radeon 4670 supported by OS X 10.6.2 or not?
I have PowerColor Radeon 4670 512MB and there is problem with kernel panic in AtiRadeonX2000.kext. I tried beta boot file and Chameleon from myHack Installer 1.0 RC 4.1, and Netkas latest drivers, and still have KP. My system can’t run in any mode – with -x it’s freeze, with -f -v is KP. I checked original OS X 10.6.2 kexts – they have already ID of my card… so where is problem? There are Apple’s Macs with Radeon 4670, so this card should work… i think.
Hey Netkas.
Any idea why my core i7 920 and RAM has lost performances at bench after this update, the whole system look a little bit slower. Maybe the new kernel?

I do the upgrade, after download combo of site apple.
After this run in -s mode and mount EFI change the boot file that you give to download and surprise mine ATI HD don´t work (PowerColor 512 DDR 3). in -s too I remove the AppleIn…CPU..ment.kext and don´t install nothing more.
USB is function properly. and video still using Intel GMA 3100 of the motherboard Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2C
I have the same problem as yackoo comment259 and iv’e spent hours and hours searching and reading still coming up with nothing.

tried pc efi 10.5 and chameleon rc3.
does anybody have a tip or something I can try? or have a clue if I’m doing something wrong or if my card is incompatible.
Thanks Netkas for e guide
Followed your guide but only did not put in the sleepenabler.kext and nullcpu kext, i use my own nullcpu.
I using C2D E6300 + Gigabyte G31M-S2L with 8800GT

Yet test e fakesmc 2.5
Hope will help others

Hi Netkas, I know – no more about 4670. But please, forget me…
It’s possible to find somewhere original firmware from iMac’s 4670 Ati card and use it in Chameleon bootloader? Or there is any metod to use 4670 in 10.6.2? I have KP or still grey screen witch circle (loading). I’m so confused – on Apple’s website is info that 4670 is supported in 10.6.2 One of iMac’s has 4670. In new kext is my ID of my card. So, where is problem?
I had Ati’s 2600 and it wasn’t working full with 10.6. Now I have 4670 and there is the same problem. I can’t buy another card only for OS X.
Please, just answer – “there is no way” or “wait for solution” or “rtfm”…
looked my card upand I dont know if I’m being stupid but might the reason x2000.kext panics be that my card uses ddr3 not gddr3?
@Alex
gddr3 just means Graphics DDR3. It’s the only DDR3 memory used in graphics cards so that is not your problem. It seems there is a problem with the patched x2000.kext that is causing kernel panics for several different cards including my 4870×2. I will soon try my 4550 and see if it is working, but for right now I’m just using the backed up ATI drivers I made from 10.6.1 (with netkas’s patches) and they work fine.
@Black Knight
Which files are you using?
ATI4800Controller
ATIFramebuffer
ATIRadeonX2000
ATISupport
All 1.6.1 versions?
TIA, Rooq
@Black Knight
Did you made ATI drivers for radeon 4550 ?
If it is, I’m really interested !
@Rooq
I’m just using the files I had working before I did the 10.6.2 update. I basically have all of the ATI files from 10.6.1, plus the files you mentioned from netkas. You could just use the stock files from 10.6.1 and apply netkas QE/CI for exotics for 10.6.1 and it should work (at least until netkas gets the new x2000 working).
Hi,I have a sappihre Vapor-x 4850 with DVI-HDMI-VGA ports,now it works using Pc_efi 10.5 GraphicsEnabler+Add DEV-IDS with QE/CI enabled,and the DVI port is closest to motherboard,the VGA is farthest.I have got a DVI2VGA adapter on the DVI port.
When I start up with the VGA port,the QE/CI is enabled,there is only 4:3 resolutions instead of 16:10 in Syncmaster.It can sleep and wake up well.
When I start up with the DVI port,the QE/CI is enabled,too,and i can get the right 1440×900 16:10 resolution.However,it’s awake with a black screen without a input.
does anybody have a tip or something I can try to solve the poblem?…
[...] Netkas.org I downloaded new versions of sleepenabler.kext and FakeSMC.kext which got everything working again. So far there are no new issues, just a few [...]
I saw a comment (#110 above) from darrix mentioning that he had observed a drop in his Geekbench score after moving from 10.6.1 to 10.6.2.
I have noticed a similar drop in mine. I have no idea why, but it is definitely lower by a margin of about 5%-6% and possibly more. Anyone have any idea why 10.6.2 would benchmark slower on the same hardware configured the same way?
hi..
Possible to get QE using HD4870x2?? 10.6.2
My HD4870x2 work but no QE/CL.
tried tha exotic patch and giving me KP…
Any solution?
Thank you Netkas….
where to download
Any new solutions for Ati 4670 & OS X 10.6.x ? Still KP, freeze or VESA resolution without acceleration…
Hey.
Any news on getting 4870×2 to work under Snow Leopard 10.6.2?
New mach kernel by oops @ insanelymac (new releases) replace it with the old mach kernel
i have a e5200 and 10.6.2 gave me kernel panics with this mach_kernel it works flawlessly !!!
@Netkas
Any news for the Ati HD3870 ???
Should i sell it or hang on to it?
Thank you verry much and i love your work!! Genius
///sell
Netkas,
Please add 0×9498 in the next patched X2000.kext (exotic)!
Thank you
If you get a “cpu mismatch” error related to sleepenabler, delete the sleepenabler.kext from your extras folder in the root of your boot drive. That fixed it for me. It appears that some how I got the wrong one in there.
I attempted to add my 4770 to both the 4600 and the 4800 controller with no success. My device ID is 0x94b31002. When this is added to either kext, upon completion of boot, the monitor will lose signal and go to sleep. Interestingly, the monitor blinks out of sleep every 15 seconds or so, then goes right back out. Maybe the monitor just can’t sync up to what ever the card is putting out. Any other ideas? I do have the beta boot file installed, and my card is properly identified in system info. I have not installed the qe_ci_exotic_10.6.2 bundle as of yet. From the name that appears to be only related to quartz acceleration.
Hi, Netkas!
Can you get link on your beta-booter sources? Or update it to support i5 processor?
I cannot fully run Mac Os on i5 + HD4670.
///beta booter is just 10.5 with edited names for 46×0 framebuffers.

Same problem as #283 with my 4850
Problem with my 4890 in SL 10.6.2
In System/Library/Extensions I have:
ATIx2000.kext
ATI4800Controller.kext
EVOenabler.kext
Both ATI ktexts have been updated and contain the 4890 0×94601002 ID.
I have installed them using Netkas’ 10.6.2 QE Exotic Patch, and installed EVO using Ktext Helper B7.
I repaired permissions.
Should they also be placed in /extra/extensions?
In com.apple.boot.plist I have graphics enabled.
But whenever I start up and boot into OSX I get these errors and corrupted video:
kxld[com.apple.kext.ATI4800Controller]: The vtable (Gives numbers/letters is corrupted/damaged) please check against the correct headers.
Can’t load kext com.apple.kext.ATI4800Controller
Failed to load executable for kext com.apple.kext.4800Controller
etc, etc basically the same message repeated for 3-4 lines.
Netkas, ignore my earlier comment.
I’ve gotten my 4890 to work all the way up to 10.6.1. I installed 10.6.2 and before the restart ran these new QE for exotic package. After reboot I got corrupted graphics.
Is it critical I install the patch after the reboot? I know on the 10.6.1 update it could be ran after update but before restart.
Restart not working after 10.6.2 update. In safe mode unloading AppleACPIEC.kext solves the problem but not in normal boot. In 10.6.1 I had 2 options to avoid this problem, disable AppleLPCB or enable SpeedStep. Anyone is experiencing the same issue??
Currentlty using:
PC EFI 10.5
FakeSMC 2.5

Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.2 updated from retail install.

Hey netkas, I need help with Atheros driver if possible.
I have a Samsung NC10, updated to 10.6.2 no problems.
I tried the legacy driver posted, and add vendor 168c and dev 001c.
I used Kext Helper to install it. After reboot I get a gray screen after some time (even if booting with -v) and have to shut down. So I boot with -f and I can reach the desktop.
So then I reinstall a “atomfix.zip” I’ve got. Reboot and everything boots up properly.
Though, no sign of atheros being alive. No icon, nothing. (maybe reinstalling the fix disabled the kext? I have no idea)
Anyway, if you have some advice, then PLEASE. Help me. And no, I would prefer to NOT open up my laptop and buy a dell card off ebay. At least not until I’ve tried everything.
Thanks!
Radeon HD 4550 – after upgrading from 10.6 to 10.6.2 i have lost QE/CI and it looks like it was caused by wrong file permission. i have chowned/chmoded ATI kexts, copypasted DEV ID’s from 10.6 ATIRadeonX2000.kext to 10.6.2 X2000 kext and everything’s fine now
i forgot to say that just adding DEV ID didn’t help

Отвалился TV: Toshiba Regza 32XV550PR HDMI HD Rady висевший на DVI_2 через переходник DVItoHDMI. Если я переключаю свой Monitor: TFT LG 1732 с DVI_1 на DVI_2 получаю картинку с разрешением 1024×768. При попытке изменить его на 1280×1024 ловлю синий экран. А если вернуть все на свои места (DVI_1 – Monitor и DVI_2 – TV) все замирает и только RESET. После перезагрузки имею черный экран!
Проблема с HDMI TV оказалась в новых кекстах NVDAResman.kext (6.0.6) and NVDANV50Hal.kext (6.0.6) появившихся в результате обновления 10.6.2. Существует временное «не решение» уловка! Заменить эти кексты (6.0.6) на (6.0.2) из обновления 10.6.1 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8EVX9G3K но в результате отваливается QE / CI и панель не прозрачна((

This exception message processed by Google translator: fell off TV: Toshiba Regza 32XV550PR HDMI HD Rady hanging on DVI_2 via an adapter DVItoHDMI. If I switch my Monitor: TFT LG 1732 with DVI_1 on DVI_2 get a picture with a resolution of 1024 × 768. When you try to change it to 1280 × 1024 to catch a blue screen. And if all return to their seats (DVI_1 – Monitor and DVI_2 – TV) everything freezes and only RESET. After rebooting, I have a black screen!
The problem with the HDMI TV turned out to be the new kekst NVDAResman.kext (6.0.6) and NVDANV50Hal.kext (6.0.6) have emerged from the 10.6.2 update. There is a temporary “no decision” trick!

One other frustrating problem, that may be causing problems in my configuration and others… The boot loader listed here does not properly setup fsb speeds for P7P55D motherboards. I have to use the tony boot file from
http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2009/11/alternate-guide-1-os-x-snow-leopard.html
I also noticed that different Boot files and plist files can randomly (random = I have no idea why) effect whether you are running in 32 bit or 64 bit. During testing, make sure you take note.
Есть возможность перейти с 8800GT на 4890! она уже у меня! но я решусь отдать эти деньги только если она заработает на 10.6.2 и я смогу проверить работоспособность своего HDMI TV. Краткую, но внятную помощь, как завести 4890 по быстрому! нет времени на эксперименты и чтиво на форумах!!
The below info is based on a 4850 non-reference model (DVI+HDMI+VGA). May apply to owners of other 48X0 non-ref models.
Test scenario:
Enable OS X Screen Sharing (also known as VNC), then make sure you have either PC_EFI 10.5 or Chameleon 2.0 RC4, retail 10.6.2 drivers and either modify ATI4800Controller.kext to include 0×94421002 ID or use LegacyATI4800Controller.kext on /Extra. Do not install EVOEnabler.kext or any other enabler/driver/exotic. Keep things retail.
Then boot your hack with “-f GraphicsEnabler=Yes” (either in 32 or 64-bit, depending on your CPU) until your monitor gets black/out of sync/on standby. Log on your Mac from another computer using a VNC client (works from the iPhone or with RealVNC from Windows). If your monitor is physically connected on DVI card at boot, you will see a fully accelerated, QE/CI enabled desktop. If not using DVI (ie, using VGA or HDMI connections), QE/CI will not be enabled on VNC session.
If you have XCode, start up IO Registry Explorer. Browse to the ATI key and notice your monitor marked as “powered off” by Snow Leopard.
display@0/ATY,Motmot@0/ATY_Motmot/display0/AppleDisplay/IOPowerManagement/CurrentPowerState=0×03
Any way of modify CurrentPowerState for a connected monitor?
So… good news! I got the 4770 somewhat working again today. The past problem appears to be related to security settings not being applied properly. So, the card shows up properly, but like before the screen repeatedly blinks on and off like the card is trying to link up, and failing. I connected in remotely this time, and found that i was able to select multiple resolutions off the card, but none of them fixed the display issue.
Both ports are also detected on the 4770, but neither have any details since it never detects a display. If anyone has further ideas or suggestions let me know. It seems like I’m close.
I solved my restart issues with OSXRestart kext. But now I’ve noticed that my Cinebench R10 OpenGL scores at fresh login are 3775 and after 3 hours it comes down to 2975, I supose that this performance degradation could get down to 0 hw acceleration after a day, the thing is that by relogin (not shutting down between) it starts again having 3775 points as Cinebench R10 score. I tried killing all the porcesses except loginwindow (and activity monitor) but I had no luck so the error could be in loginwindow. Other NVIDA 8XXX series users have reported similar issues… Anyone knows a fix for this or at least what’s causing this bug??
Temporary success running Vanilla 10.6.2 under 32 bits or 64 bits kernel with GeForce 9800GT 512MB:
I’ve replaced “NVDAResman.kext” and “NVDANV50Hal.kext” with the old ones from 10.6.0 and continued to use a Boot.plist device string for GeForce 9800GTX 512MB as made available in the EFI Studio tool. Everything seems to work fine now: dual DVI enabled outputs (including one connected to a LCD TV via DVI-HDMI cable), QE/CI enabled (wave effect on dashboard), VLC runs H264 MKV videos smoothly and access to all resolutions possible.
Note: before this trick, I’ve used the original kexts from 10.6.2 with the same EFI string. In this case I only managed to get a black screen after initial boot (before GUI) when both monitor and LCD were connected. When only the monitor was connected, it seemed to work fine, so I think the main problem of 10.6.2 kexts for GeForce resides in the DVI port management, especially the second one where I connect the LCD TV as SweetWOR explained before.
MB: Gigabyte GA-X38-DQ6, Intel Q6600, Chameleon RC4, fakesmc 2.5
at least i switched back to 10.6.1 due 4870×2 kernel panic issue =/
i hope in 10.6.3 it will work again. wont buy me mac edition ati card or any other
the x2 owners knows why 
has anyone any success with x2 series? 0×94411002 seams to be incompatible to the current driver set.
Hi Netkas,
Could you tell me where you made the edits? I have an XFX ATI 4670 and your beta boot loader is the only boot loader that will enable my card to work. All other boot loaders do not, even Chameleon 2.0-RC4 does not. I’d like to know the edits just in case it does not get added to the main src.
Thanks for all you work!

Can you get link on your beta-booter sources? Or update it to support i5 processor?

Hi there
Yes I succeded to have all enabled with Sapphire 4870×2
http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/5321/picture1rs.png
I used on /Extra: a modified (by me) EvoEnabler, and Legacy4800controller
to see if managing among these we can find a valid stable solution..
then i applied the qe_ci_exotic_10.6.2 and all seemed to be done..
as i said everything is enabled full resolutions till 2304×1728 on primary display qe and openGL ONLY PROBLEM that lasts only few minutes then everything but the mouse freeze…
had a look at amdhardware patch but no way to sort it out…
Netkas im quite sure you can find out whats wrong on these files, im too new to this to have a valid idea our troubles come from…
if you need i can give you all the files i used well i mean just evoenabler plist since all the rest are by your generosity

NEED HELP!!!
i updated to 10.6.2

i just have one osx intallation on my pc (that is now not working).
how can i delete the sleepenabler kext??
NEED HELP WITH SIMPLE PROBLEM
updated to 10.6.2 and now in kernel panic due to sleepenabler.kext as described by netkas (if only i knew about his guide before..)
how can i delete this sleepenabler? i can’t get into single-user mode (using chameleon) because it kp anyway.
can anyone help a sad newbie??
*sigh*
i should have read the comments before upgrading…
4870×2 + 10.6.2 = FAIL
@exseven
I have a 4550 working in SL 10.6.2 using default drivers, beta booter from netkas, and adding 0×95401002 to ATIRadeonX2000.kext. Make sure you use brand new clean drivers from the combo 10.6.2 update. Also, I would suggest adding the deviceID using the sudo nano command in terminal as it doesn’t change the permissions of the kext.
What if i am running a Hackintosh set up with VMware 7. How do I update to 10.6.2 from 10.6 on that setup without borking it?
Has anyone with a 4850×2 or 4870×2 got their X2000 kext to work (CI/QE) on 10.6.2 with this? I have the Sapphire 4850×2 and like all of you with X2s I get a kernel panic if I use netkas’ modded X2000 kext, but no KP if I use the original X2000 kext (but of course, no QE/CI). Netkas, do you know why this combo is panicing for all of us? Is a fix in sight? Thanks for your hard work.

Hi, netkas!
I am using Samsung R522 laptop (Core 2 Duo, Ati mobility Radeon 4650(0×94801002) )
After installing snow leo, I can boot in safe mode.
I have downloaded your beta booter for my videocard, added device to ATI4600Controller.kext, x2000.kext already had my device id.
When I boot in normal (and even in safe) mode than, I got
switching colored screens (white, red, green, dark-grey, and a few black to white gradient screens). I can’t boot into my system.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Если ты из Москвы, то ставлю ящик пива, если сможешь завести на моем ноуте графику и сеть!
Somebody please help me.
Every time I try to update my system from 10.6.1 to 10.6.2 causes blank screen with NVenabler 64.kext, NVinject.kext or EFI string.
Starting OSX with -f -v option,during CUI interface system seems booting normal, but when switching to GUI, it stops.
Screen turned black and alart “NO SIGNAL” appears. It seems system loses connection with the screen.
After removing NVenabler 64.kext or NVinject.kext from /System/Library/Extensions or removing EFI string from com.apple.Boot.plist, I managed to start GUI of SL 10.6.2.
But, I can’t get diaplay any other res than 1024×768(my display can show 1920×1080).
Someone have any suggestions?
My system spec:
CPU:Core i7/920 2.7GHz

Can anyone help me out? I am using your exotic drivers along with ATY_Motmot.kext and ATY_Init.kext, my 4890(XFX HD4890 with stock ROM) is recognized along with proper VRAM but Quartz Extreme is not enabled, anyone any ideas?
has anyone gotten GTX 295 to work with 10.6.2?
if so please inform me on what i need to do
thanks ahead

***FOR THOSE OF YOU HAVING THE BLACK SCREEN WITH MOUSE CURSOR AFTER 10.6.2 UPDATE, THERE IS A WORKAROUND TO SOLVE THIS, SEE BELOW***
NOTE: If you have previously set up Screen Sharing you can VNC into your 10.6.2 system and don’t have to do steps 1 and 3.
1) Boot into single user mode (safe mode *may* work, I didn’t try it) and copy the vanilla 10.6.2 NVDAResman.kext and NVDANV50Hal.kext files out of /System/Library/Extensions to somewhere else (Desktop for example) and reboot with -f which will give you nasty graphics but graphics nonetheless.
2) Now go into System Preferences and activate a Hot Corner (aka “Active Screen Corners” – I prefer top left personally
) in the Exposé and Spaces Preferences Pane to sleep the display.
3) Copy the kexts back to /System/Library/Extensions and repair permissions accordingly.
4) Reboot and wait for the black screen to appear. Move your mouse to the hot corner you selected to sleep the display. Now move it again to bring the display out of sleep.
VOILÀ! Perfect display and hardware support with the native 10.6.2 kexts. It’s a bit messy but works for me flawlessly. For the sake of a mouse movement and hot corner I can live with this minor blip until someone works out what’s causing the black screen.
This works a charm on my Core2Duo/8400GS media centre so fingers crossed should help some of you too

So Netkas,
Is it possible to just get a 4870×2 up and running in a Mac Pro with SL?
I’ve looked and looked, but can only find evidence of this for 10.5.8.
10.5.8:
1. accel.tar.bz2
2. ATI_Init.pkg
3. QE_CI_Exotic_cards_10_5_8.pkg
Attempting the above with SL 10.6.[0|1|2] is a no goa…
Am I doing something wrong? or am I just a bit ahead of expectations?
Cheers,
oh…
in step 3, I’m using QE_CI_Exotic patch 10.6.2.pkg with SL instead…

Hello there netkas or whoever else is reading this !
I followed the upper kinda guide about 4830 (Sapphire 4830 512 dvi-svideo-dvi).
After installing vanilla SL , updated to 10.6.2 , put the kext about the id using kext helper , then installed the qe-ci-exotic package.
Resolution is perfect , so is refresh rate @60 , BUT there’s a strange hiccups from the GUI ..I don’t know where it’s coming from but when moving the mouse it’s making some “stops” when moving , and not only the mouse but the whole GUI , but it’s most noticeable with the mouse (even when typing you can notice it).
Does anybody has ANY idea about the situation ? Because I’ve looked around and found nothing.
Thanks for any help.
Thanks to Rob G :

Hi Netkas
I need help.
I have a real Mac Pro (1.1) and I’m trying to get a new ATI (XFX)4850 1Gig installed.
I’ve downloaded all the tools I could find, but when I try to boot my box with both cards installed I get a kernel panic. On my Bootcamp Partition I have Windows Vista X64 up and running and can see both cards. Is there a way on the windows side of the box to install just enough to get the card visible from the MacOSX side so I can run the injectors and Flash the card using Zeus (the new ATI flashing tool). Or can I Flash and get it working from the Windows side in general?
Please help. I’m great a Network engineer, but when it comes to messing around with the internals of the OS I’m a cluts and don’t want to wind up with a Doorstop…
