No word for 5700/5800 series? I’ve been waiting for long time :S
Do we need a new sleepenabler for 10.6.4?
Yes, 10.6.4 killed my 4890 which now shows itself as a 4870 and only has 1024 x 768 resolution?hope you can work your magic netkas! I see that all the ATi drivers have been upgraded from 1.6.10 to 1.6.16. I have backups in TM and wonder which ones I need to move back to get the high resolution?
Replacing the 1.6.16 ATI4800Controller, ATIFramebuffer and ATISupport kexts with the 10.6.3 versions got me back to normal resolution but the 4890 still thinks its a 4870.
Did you use new sleepenabler? Where did you find it?
For users with Realtek ALC888 sound, there is a patched AppleHDA.kext from 10.6.4 update pack: http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2906&hilit=ALC888
Thanks for being so on top of this Netkas.
10.6.3 to 10.6.4 Upgrade successful in MB Intel D975XBX2 but sleepennabler.kext = Kernel Panic.
Is there a version of sleepennabler to 10.6.4?
Netkas, you are a sexy beast. Just got my 4870×2 working, well, crippledish but working with QE+CI. Is there a chance that this card will ever see both cores and all 2gb of ram? I love it very much, but not as much as I’d love a bit more performance xD
these gfx issues are the reason to stick with nvidia cards – all else aside. my gtx260 has been flawless under snow.
you are THE MAN, thanks for the tireless support of all of us ATI “exotic” people!
Installed 10.6.4 via Software Update, rebooted to a blue flickering screen. So I need to update the ATI 4890 and AppleHDA.kext; but I can’t get the chameleon boot options menu to show at startup; because I set it to auto start; how I can pause the boot menu to try verbose mode.
Can someone tell me what I need to do to update from 10.6.2 to 10.6.4 with a 4650 (0×94981002)? Thank.
my r1000 died, i am downloading the new my hack installer, maybe it will fix it … im feeling lazy.
btw sleepenabler will panic ur machine… get rid of it before .4
everything seems to work except R1000 dam, annoying.
Update worked fine on my hackintosh although it didn’t appear to update the kernel. Haven’t tried booting into 32 mode but the kernel is still 10.3
Installed the update on my MacBook Pro and it updated the kernel to 10.4 but that’s 32.
@Akshunhiro I’ve updated my hackintosh and booted into 64-bit mode, and my kernel is updated to 10.4
[...] Mac OS X 10.6.4. По традиции я сходил к Неткасу, проверил отзывы торопыг, уже установивших обновление на свои хакинтоши. [...]
Update went fine here thanks so much for the blog post. Confirm here 10.6.X sleepenabler by meklort caused KP. Remove and wait for new version probably.
Sorry for my density, but perhaps I missed this with 10.6.3… I am having kernel panics, but I assumed they were because of Highpoint RocketRAID 2314 driver (based on logs). I have a HIS 4890 in a MacPro1,1, but I also see AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext and [same]Client.kext. Based on the 10.6.3 upgrade guide, do I need to move those out in addition to running Zeus 1.3 tomorrow??
Is there any solution for DVI -> HDMI ?
I have a GTX 295 and the image is cropped on native resolutions. I have to turn overscan off and use TV 1080p but the image doesn’t fill the entire screen.
@Nabil
Yeah I’ve noticed my system isn’t technically updated. I tried booting to 32 bit with verbose and found alot of ‘refused new kext’ errors so it’s loading the old stuff? It also would load the login window. I still get the kext error with 64 bit but at least I can actually get in and still use it.
I think this may have something to do with UDID. I’ve got mine strapped to SMBIOS which is in root with Chameleon.
Oops, typo. It WOULDN’T load the login window on 32 bit mode (that or I was too impatient to wait for it) but 64 bit mode is usable but I still get the kext errors and the old kernel.
eh kexts world … so complicated.
Viva DSDT and directly SU without problems.
I have installed MAC OS X as usual.
Then I have edit com.apple.Boot.plist file and added pmVersion=20.
Then I have installed the combinated update to 10.6.4
After reboot the Apple logo goes to error like this:
http://www5.picturepush.com/photo/a/2731668/img/Anonymous/MAC-Problem.bmp
The rebooted again and write pmVersion=0 via MyHack boot loader to disable “sleepenabler” and the same error appears again.

Any help?
My mobo has non-AHCI. I installed FAKESMC.kext by Slice fixed. After my Mac update to 10.6.4,It used 66s to see the desktop.Before updating,just 26s.
Why???

Hello, i’ve just updated in 10.6.4 and update de kext to run my 4890 on my Mac Pro.
But the 3D acceleration isn’t fonctional for now..
Any idea when qe_ci_exotic patch for 10.6.4 will come out ?
It was planned for today right ?
Anyone get the 10.6.4 ATI 4850 kext drivers working? I get the scrambled screen of death and had to revert back to 10.6.2 ATI kext.
Hi
I am getting a notice Compatability update required for CUDA and I have the latest V 3.0.14 from Nvidia loaded, A version of the GPU Driver is installed on your system which requires an updated CUDA Driver. If you do not update the CUDA Driver, some CUDA-enabled applications may run slowly or cease to function properly.
GPU Driver Version: 1.6.16.11 (19.5.8f01)
CUDA Driver Version: 3.0.14
Is anyone able to tell me why I’m getting these ‘refusing new kext’ errors? It’s got to be something simple but searching has gotten me nowhere and it’s doing my head in…
Here’s the full error…
Refusing new kext com.apple.kernel.mach, v7.9.9: a loaded copy with a different executable UUID is already present.
Refusing new kept com.apple.kpi.mach, v10.4: already have loaded v10.3
This happens with a bunch of files. My system boots but obviously using the old files, how do I fix this?
Update not to bad. Lost rtl 8139 card but fine using old ionetworkfamily kext from 10.6.3. Best thing is repair permissions now working. Not working on 10.6.3. Also waiting for sleepenabler 10.6.4. 64 bit great with pcefi 10.6. nvidia 9800gt 1024 fine. Just still having fun trying to run on duel monitor mode. have an extender for windows. But when connecting another monitor screen freezes. Thanks for everything netkas. Still trying to find my hackintosh feet.
I have a modded 4870 card and just applied 10.6.4. Only one screen and when I select ‘detect displays’ in system preferences I get a ‘Kernel Panic’
Help!
I’ve installed 10.6.4 in my Macpro, with a flashed 4890. Then the qe/ci patch, and it’ impossible to boot ! Kernel panic at startup !!! Help !
I’ve installed 10.6.4. on my MacPro, with a flashed 4890. Then the QE/CI patch.
But now it’s impossible to boot my mac. Kernel Panic at the startup (when the Apple Logo appears). I have to boot the mac in target mode, to delete ATI4800Controler.kext and ATIRadeonX2000 manually…
Help !!!
Hi Netkas!
After update everything works, but there seems to be issue with FakeSMC. I boot always in verbose and here’s one line which wasn’t present before 10.6.3:
FakeSMC: key info not found FNum, length – 6
What do you think?
Thanks!
Same here.
Kernel panic at startup.
Lucky me to have a second HDD with a bootable system!
Guess will have to wait for a fix like for 10.6.3…

Same story here. Applied the exotic patch and – kernel panic. Removed the two kexts and restored from backup. Screen looks OK, but no acceleration QE CI. Damn!!
New exotics dont work. Kernel panic at startup everytime with my ATI 4890. Please fix.
qe_ci_exotic patch setup kernel panic :S
Yes. me too KP’d as soon as restarted. Restored two changed kexts and back to normal but no QE/CI.
Device ID 0×9460
Vendor 0×1002
1 GB ATi Radeon 4890
For me with Mac Pro and firmware hacked 4870 (with Mac FW) the problem is that QE and CI does not work.
I’ve tried with patch but nothing happens. The computer still boots with 10.6.4 but no QE/CI.
This driver patch doesn’t seem to do anything for me.
QE/CI used to work under 10.6.3. It disabled in 10.6.4 and this patch didn’t enable it.
MacPro 2,1
ATI Radeon HD 4870 XFX 1GB
Can someone using ati 4890 post ATI4800Controller, ATIFramebuffer and ATISupport kexts from 10.6.3. Didn’t back up mine.
Thanks Netkas! Update OK here… However I’m still using the old kernel (10.3.0) until someone releases one patched for P4/AMD…
I am a complete novice with a 4890 in my computer. It came with a disc with the QE_CI_Exotic_Patch 10.6.2. Somehow, I managed to install the 10.6.3. This time, I downloaded the patch and ran the installer. Now I get what I am assuming is a kernel panic. Any chance of a step by step walkthrough on how to get my computer running again? I found the directions on this site very confusing as a novice and am terribly frustrated. Thanks!
ATI 4890 using LegacyATI4800Controller.kext in /Extra/Extension and QE CI Exotic cards 10.6.3.pkg.
Resolution works great, System Profiler details look good except NO QE/CI(animations and images are not smooth).
QE/CI worked perfectly in 10.6.3.
Where does this functionality get programmed in?
Point me in the right direction homies; netkas@carlnunes.com
Framebuffer on 4890 is fine with a legacy LegacyATI4800Controller kext in /E/E. The problem still is in the ATIRadeonX2000 that causes a nasty KP.
I hope this gets solved soon, keep up the good work!
And no Qe/CI means no Pages or Preview or DVD!
Yep. I restored from backup my whole machine. Back to 10.6.3. All good now
So, we have to use the 10.6.2 kext’s for HD48xx support? Tnx
??? Why 10.6.2 kexts???
could someone please direct me to somewhere I can download the 10.6.2 kexts for Ati 48XX support.
Thanks
P.
Why do you all have to Upgrade if it at causing problems!?
Most of you will not know the difference!
so if the 10.6.4 exotic pkg lacks QE/CI would that also affect screenshot taking or am i looking at a different problem? Screenshots dont show on the desktop or auto upload to cloudapp.
Here are the 10.6.2 ati kexts. I extracted them with pacifist from the 10.6.2 combo update. Use them with care and backup your original kexts. Please post the results if you manage to get acceleration working on radeon 4890

Successfully update to 10.6.4 with these spec:
amd phenom 9850
nvidia gtx260
realtek lan is working, sound is working.I always get a second copy of blacknight kernel by renaming it to mach_kernel2 so after update i can boot with the kernel.i dont have to patch itunes even after update to 9.2
Its okay I got it from netkas mirror
Paul, have you gotten a ATI 48xx to work with QE/CI on 10.6.4 with those files?
Everything is ok with p6t deluxe v2
I have no QE_CI on my 4890 now, how can I fix that? There’s usually a link to use to get it back after a patch, but nothing, nada… at the moment. Any suggestions how to fix it?
ATI X1600 PRO stopped working
Tried the old drivers from 10.6.3 but nothing…
Any solutions?
ATI Radeon 4850
Everything is slow ie opening panes it jerks all over the place.
I assume its no QE-CI problem.
I have used my old kekts from 10.6.2.
Any ideas?
does it seem that people with nvidia graphics cards always have much less graphics issues… , what is different with the drivers? the imac has ati graphics cards.
also what x58 or H55 boards do you think work mostly well?
what do you guys think about the i3? i just can’t bring my self to get away from the gigabyte p45 / core2’s i feel like i am getting old, stick with something even though its getting very AGED!.
I’ve tried everyone to get my Sapphire ATI 4850 working with 10.6.4, still no luck and I had to revert to 10.6.2. If anyone has any idea, please let us know — I understand there is a considerable increase in video performance with the latest kexts.
netkas, what’s the deal with the striked-thorugh package link? it seems it is not working for anyone.
any ETA on the working 10.6.4 exotic patch?
Upgraded with spare drive.Previous 10.6.3 on 4870×2 QE_CI with netkas exotic patch for 10.6.3. Aplied 10.6.4 then Exotic patch before restart. After restart from original drive (10.6.3) installed ATI4800Controler.kext, ATIFramebuffer.kext, ATISupport.kext and ATIRadeonX2000.kext with kextutility in S/L/E in 10.6.4. It works again QE_CI, res change like previous but with new darwin kernel 10.4.0. Only drawback like with 10.6.3 and ATI_init no 64 bit support.
In a forum netkas mentioned he is having his final at the moment so he cannot work on this the qe_ci fix at the moment.
As much as I want the fix asap asap, I think we should understand no one owe us anything; no one is obligated to fix this, not to mention fix this immediately.
But of course, hopefully there will be a solution eventually =)
Good luck for your test netkas!
Still no working Sapphire 4830. I was writing graphicsenabler=y and installing both 10.6.3 and 10.6.4 exotic patches, then after copy old 10.6.2 kexts and… no resolution and no QE/CI now (((((
Mister Netkas,
you make very good job,
Please Help Us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hi!
my 4890 ran perfectly on 10.6.3
updated to 10.6.4, ran the 10.6.4 patch (the stroke through), now I get kernel panic. help
Netkas, would you please be able to have a look at my thread on InsanelyMac?
I haven’t come across this error before so apologise if it’s been covered, I haven’t found anything via google or the usual forums.
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=221445
For 4890 owners, check out this thread:
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=221438
GoodLuck.
I may be off base, but the atiradeon2000.pkg in the 10.6.4 package has a lot of pieces missing that were in the 10.6.3 package (i.e. no version.plist and no _CodeSignature directory). So the kext has no signature… I would think it wouldn’t load.
Just an observation.
(posted on macrumours also).
If you already upgraded to 10.6.4 and you can’t display full resolution and QE/CI does not work, here is the solution (probably temporary) until Netkas provides a solution

Got 10.6.4 ATI kexts ( version 1.6.16) working on my HIS IceQ 4850 with dvi2vga dongle. Without dongle got black screen. Changed ID in ATIRadeonX2000 too.
Oops! This should not be there above “Changed ID in ATIRadeonX2000 too” as its pre-included.
Found a package from the user “moskivirit”. Tested it on my 10.6.4 Test-System. Is working fine.
2.nd Screen, Coverflow, Expose .. all is smooth.
I made a .pkg of the stuff and you can leech it here:
http://x7.to/igd9j0
But NO Warranty. Running it on a MacPro 1,1 with a Sapphire 4890 HD. For me it works.
Make a Backup of:
ATI4800Controller.kext
ATIFramebuffer.kext
ATIRadeonX2000.kext
ATIRadeonX2000GA.kext
ATIRadeonX2000GLDriver.bundle
ATIRadeonX2000VADriver.bundle
ATISupport.kext
before execute the Patch.

New Package … cosmetic correction.
It seems that y Installer don´t replace the files properly.
http://rapidshare.com/files/401007912/1064_qeci_funzt.zip.html
get this to do it by hand with the Kext-Helper Application.
After Update on Wind U100 afp don’t work – here is what I have done to fix this… 1. Before Update to 10.6.4 backup /System/Library/Filesystems from 10.6.3 — 2. Install combo-update DON’T RESTART — 3. Install atom-kernel 10.6.3 again — 4. Install working GMA and other Kexts again — 5. Install backuped /System/Library/Filesystems/AppleShare — 6. Remove User-, Lib- and SystemCaches — 7. Restart — 8. Repair Permissions — Hope works for other guys too
HD 4570 run on 10.6.4?
Netkas, one question. Is there any known way or anybody that has enabled 4870×2 to work with QE_CL in 10.6.3 or 10.6.4 in 64 bit?
I have searched everywhere for a proof but i can’t find it.
Hello there
. I hope a dont post a dumb question, but seing the link striked, I don’t dare to update to 10.6.4, in fear of my (non flashed) radeon 4890 don’t works anymore. Am I juste to much fearful or am I right ? thanks 
I have a flashed XFX e.0 4870 on a MacPro 1,1 and 10.6.4 killed QE and OpenGL. tried swapping older drivers, QE/CI exotic patches, etc. No Luck.
Rebuilt a 10.6.3 drive and migrated back.. stock apple drivers work perfect on 10.6.3, but not 10.6.4 for my card…
Apparently Apple changed more than the driver code kexts
@el Charlot
Netkas, pleaseeeeeeee help us dumies
DO NOT update. I am woundering why netkas still offers this package through the striked link! I earlier updated to 10.6.4 and can’t go back to 10.6.3. Now I am on 10.6.4 without QE/CI and I everyday refresh this site 100 times for a new working package from our guru
Hello netkas – I think you’re on vacation or doing some heavy disassembling maybe ? This time the 4890 in my MacPro1.1 doesn’t like the 10.6.4 update at all – I’ve tried different ways myself but the X2000 kext makes me nuts – Hoping you’ll find a way – Just give me a little tiny response if you’re alive – Otherwise i might think you’re not interested anymore ? Naa……..:-)
You are kind of right. If you want to upgrade follow the links above.
Hi Charlot,
I updated our Mac Pro with 4890 card from OS 10.6.3 to 10.6.4. I now wish I had not! Many programs like Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro, Aperture refuse to start after the upgrade due to lacking graphic card drivers. I need to downgrade to 10.6.3 if we cannot get a working solution within a few days. So hold back with the upgrade! There isn’t much you will see inside the upgrade anyway.
Hope Netkas will do his magic again!! / Johan
el Charlot – I think you have a good plan. I patched OSX to 10.6.4 and have tried everything I can think of to get my 4890 working. It’s a second card in my system so I’m not DOA without it. Best I’ve been able to do is to use the 10.6.2 kext files and both screens go blue at boot but then the system hangs at that point. I am patiently waiting for netkas to post a solution.
Looks like Apple botched the drivers anyways. So there wont be much point in getting 10.6.4 to work anyways. We will have to wait for 10.6.5, or for those driver updates.
Hey el charlot! Netkas is probably working hard on a fix here, but meantime there is a solution on getting the 4890 working with the 10.6.4 using one of the old kexts. Go to macrumors.com and read the ultimate 4890 topic. JFYI.
> I hope a dont post a dumb question, but seing the link striked, I don’t dare to update to 10.6.4
You’re right on this one. I just installed it (I also have a 4890) and I experienced a kernel panic at installation. Since then, I systematically have a kernel panic at start up. Add to go back to my old video card to be able to boot.
Installed on my Mac Pro with 4890 flashed. I lost the second display, only one dvi avaible..
Plz Netkas make a solution for Mac Pro users.. I can’t use 10.6.4 with my 4890 1Gb and your .pkg and fix for 10.6.3
files.netkas.org is broken?
Netkas, any update soon ? Still waiting for working the QE/CI patch. Thanks
Yes, please…
I don’t know why we want them to be working on this update. Apple released that this update has driver issues, sssoooo we should be awaiting a driver patch or a new update from Apple, because this one has apparent issue.
I say they wait until Apple fixes their end, then we can start our side of things.
I know this is not a netkas fix… however this is a working fix for now untill netkas releases on. Look for post #8 and you will find your answer. The post if from moskivirit.
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=221438
I believe Netkas is in the middle of his exams, from a posting on Mac Rumors 4890 thread think they are a bit more important than an upgrade to an OS
@graeme thank you for the update
By the Way in the 10.6.4 Upadte for the Mac Mini (Mid2010) are the ATI5000 kext included.

Thanks to moskivirit.
@Benny Van Looy : it does’nt work for me…
Could anybody here give a more detailed explanation how to get the 4890 working with a Mac Pro 2×2.66, please?
It worked fine with 10.6.3 using Zeus, flashed the ATI and downloaded driver. Then I upgraded to OS 10.6.4 …
Now I don’t know what to do. I have spent several days with system copying, crashes, etc.
I need to get my Final Cut Studio going again.
Thank you in advance! /Johan
@Fred
Did you use Kexthelper to install the kext? If not, make sure the kext rights are correct and rebuild the kext cache.
I also have LegacyATI4800Controller.kext in /Extra/Extensions and GraphicsEnabler=y in boot.plist. Booting is done with Chameleon 2.0 RC4.
Good luck

Hi Benny,
Thank you for the instructions above. It finally made my day so I could produce a DVD with DVD Studio Pro on our Mac Pro with 10.6.4 and ATI 4890. Great!
One new problem shows up to me: There are striking horisontal lines, mostly white, when playing video or any other rapid scene change. It looks like it is writing garbage in the graphic memory.
Anybody who has got a clue?
@Fred, try this. it worked for me
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=221764
The moskivirit solution did not work for me either.
@magare
Thanks for your help. I’ve tried, no functionnar. I will reinstall my system in 10.6.3, and waiting for a patch from Netkas.
Thanks all…
Hello Netkas, i am confused, Here it says that ATI 58xx is not supported and won’t work.
But on insanelymac, the AnvAl bootloader shows the 5800 series.
0×10026898, “ATI Radeon 5800 Series”
0×10026899, “ATI Radeon 5800 Series”
what am I missing?
///loader and driver is different things
@magare
After reinstall, it works !!! Thanks !!!
here’s a link to a working kext for the Realtek R1000 /8169/8111C that I used after updating to 10.6.4: http://www.mediafire.com/?5yugzdjz1d2
Hi,
I have an ATI 4850 512Mo DDR3 Saphire.
How install this card on Snow Leopard 10.6.3 or 10.6.4. How do you do for to have OpenGL installed. If you have kexts for this card, can you share links for download please. Thank you for help…
I can’t seem to download the PC EFI V 10.6 file. Anyone know of a working link? Thanks in advance!

Hi magare, i believe we are in the same situation here. I am using Sapphire HD 4890 2 GB reference card. I’ve tried all solution from this thread, but it doesn’t work as expected. I wonder how did you finally to get 4890 to work? Which set of kext did youfinally to get it to work even after reinstall?
@Benny van Looy
Maybe this sound really stupid … Where to put *.bundle and *.plugin files from moskirivit package?

As usual, great salute to all the work that you have been sharing with us! We are anticipating your next fix release for 4890 on 10.6.4. Could please clarify the issues around qe_exotic …..
@sunzen
The link that I posted above should work. Just get the files and install them PROPERLY in /System/Library/Extensions.
No rocket science here, just do it properly (fix permissions, mod, etc).
If still does not work you may miss some other files in /Extra/Extensions folder
just wanted to confirm that this trick works on Radeon HD 4550 from Gigabyte and bootsplash apple and circle are no longer stretched. Tried to boot Windows 7 DVD and it was low res 16bit colors or less and Chameleon was still stretched.

I have a Sapphire 4870 1GB Vapor-X card and it was working great in 10.6.2 with GraphicsEnabler=y only, but in 10.6.4 I needed to replace ATI kexts (4800,Framebuffer,Support,RadeonX2000*) from 10.6.2 to have the screen working again (black screen at boot with 10.6.4 kexts).
But even if the screen and the resolution are ok, there is still one big problem, the display is slow with animations and some softwares (VLC can’t even display video files), I think there is no graphics acceleration loaded properly. I tried a lot of version of ATI kext files but impossible to fix this.
I’m on SL 64bits , and the card have the ID 0×94401002.
If someone have an idea on this, thanks !
@magare
Thanks for the tips! it finally works using 10.6.3 kexts.
Guys, nobody says nothing about the 5700 from ati? ._.
I installed 10.6 on my pc which is a Acer M7720 with i7 920 and ATI Radeon HD 4850 1gb. Everything worked perfectly, the display was perfect at 1920×1080 @ 60hz. Then I installed the update to 10.6.4, my pc connected by a dvi to vga cable, the resolution was the basic 800×600 after reboot, so I installed the .kext files drivers etc. from the exotic package for 10.6.3 using MultiBeast, then reboot, everything works great except:
I can get every existing resolution BUT the one I need: 1920×1080.
I tried switchresx but it didn’t work. Any ideas anyone?
My QE_CI is not enabled for me either =/ (4890 on a mac pro 1,1 osx 10.6.4) Good luck with those exams!
WHEN IS IT GONNA HAVE 57xx SUPPORT? I WANT TO RUN MAC OS X !
