Radeon HD 5800 and MacPro

5650 Help.

Having trouble getting my 5650 working. kext's cause KP. Plus the 5600's arnt listed in the ATY_init. Help if you can.
 
SnowLeopad install with EmpireEfi. I think the kext's worked for my XFX 5870 XXX-Edition. Can you tell me where I can find the tests for openGL?
 
Thx. I tested and got only 1-10 FPS :S I'm confused why. Tell me what you need to know to help me.

I'm not sure. The drivers didn't work apparently. You have installed all the kext, not just ATY_init, right?
The benchmark probably ran in software mode. Exposé shouldn't be very smooth either. What about quicktime videos?

You may need to reinstall the extensions with kext helper. But Netkas and the Rominator would know better.
 
I installed them ALL with KexpHelper. In test renderer is shown as Apple Software Renderer, is that right?

No it's not. See if the ATI extensions are shown in system profiler, extensions section.
 
btw, on MacPro, try this trick to get rid of artifacts:

<q840av> HIS 5850: using Uakari FB, I get very bad artifacts on boot, lowering the resolution to 1024x768 and returning to native res fixes the artifacts.

Ok, just threw in all of the kexts at once and rebooted with the GT120 still plugged in via DVI and the Vapor-X 5870 via HDMI. Both are connected to the same display via two different inputs.

Aaaaaaaaaaand same problem as you, Rominator. At least... I think so. Its detected, and outputs... but the mouse cursor is the only coherent thing on the screen. Same deal no matter what output I use (2x DVI, HDMI, Display Port - although I don't have the right stuff to test the display port). Same deal if I remove the GT120 completely.

System also hangs a LOT with the kexts loaded - I assume its trying to send certain tasks (image viewing / hardware acceleration / etc) to the 5870 and thats when it hangs.

yay !!! im not crazy or (especially) incompetent !!!

your desc & pic are EXACTLY what hapens with me

oddly enough, if a 2600xt or 3870 is in, it won't load x3000 and the 5870 displays images PERFECTLY, all res's available, just no qe/ci

i have 4=th of july guests and PROMISED no computer geeking....but ill sneak away and install those ogl dealies
 
Hey Same here...
I have the XFX HD 5870 From ATI, and i installed all the kexts and ATY_Init and my Card is listed in sys profiler, but my fps are at 14 or soo ( at the Test from OpenGL Extension Viewer)
DVD doesnt works , EyeTv Works !
Also Expose is a Bit laggy
I have a AMD with Hazard Leopard 10.6.2

The drivers are designed to work with OS X 10.6.4.

So, how to Update?
I heard disable SleepEnabler.kext and then use another Kernel, i have the Blacknight Kernel, du i Need to Patch something or just delete SleepEnebler and Update?
 
Hey guys,

Im kinda new to the whole Hackintosh scene but I got a Club3D 5850 in my system, I am currently running W7 (intel i5 750, Gigabyte P55M-UD2). Am I able to run OSX on this and how will I do this? If anyone could help me out that'd be awesome.

Good night all.

Rominator, try ogl framework from this thing - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1054

just install framework with pacifist

or, you can get that ogl.frmwk from here http://www.mediafire.com/?ywmdyxmmmz0

Tried this...no help unfortunately.

Went ahead and installed OpenCl and full extensions package again as well via Pacifist.

Still a messy screen.

If I remove x3000 kext and reboot, screens clear up but just as frame buffer, no 3D.

Hopefully someone with better knowledge of differences between Hacks and Macs can figure out what is so different that Hacks can run 5870 trouble free and Macs can only run as a simple Frame Buffer with no 3D or OpenGl or CI or QE.

IOReg dump is while running Mini extensions and frameworks.

Currently, I have to say that 5870 on Mac Pro is still a dream for future.

Heyyo,

I have an ATi Radeon 5650 Mobility and it's listed in the ati5000controller.kext (0x68C11002) and I was hoping there's a way I could help out with an ioreg dump but I'm unfamiliar with the procedure for ioreg dumps.. I'm running 10.6.4 on a Gateway NV5909H Laptop and used iBoot to get it setup.

Right now it loads fine if I just do the latest aty_init.kext but of course no info is injected into my system profiler. Loading with the ati5000controller.kext, atiframebuffer.kext and atisupport.kext it will load in but then no display or in verbose it just gets stuck on console. If I try with the x3000 kext plugin and bundles it will either kernel panic or give me a very corrupt screen like The Rominator posted.

Pretty much the same here(0x68a0) for my 5870 mobile. The 5870 mobile is pretty much a 5770 desktop. I hope someone figures this out, GL.
 
It's disturbing. What could be the difference between Mac Pros and hacks at this point? I thought that once the card is initialized (it is, right? Otherwise it shouldn't provide any image), Macs and hacks should behave the same. 3D acceleration working on hackintoshes proves that the drivers don't need an EFI on the card.

Hopefully, new Macs with radeonHD 5 series will help to clear the issue.

Rominator, any way to change resolution on the messy display?
 
Black screen with :

ATY_Init.Kext with 5700 item

AND in my S/L/E :

ATI5000Controller.kext
ATISupport.kext
ATIFramebuffer.kext
ATIRadeonX3000.kext
ATIRadeonX3000GA.plugin
ATIRadeonX3000GLDriver.bundle
ATIRadeonX3000VADriver.bundle

PS : it is for my hackintosh core i5 750 on Asus P7P55D Premium with *Sapphire VAPOR-X HD 5770 - 1 Go HDMI/Dual DVI
Snow installed with the help of iPortable Snow x86 Installer & iPortable Bootfix and OSInstall.mpkg and updated in 10.6.4 OK

I actually did.

I can log in from a Macbook via Screen Sharing. Everything is glacially slow, but I was able to get to desktop. On the 30" it was unrecognizable mess, but via screen sharing desktop showed up, but with some minor artifacts. I was able to switch to a lower res which showed up on the 30" after a couple minutes.

The feeling is that the machine is fighting off an endless string of errors and is barely able to keep running. I was unable to get it to switch back to 2560 x 1600, mostly because I ran out of patience.

It is quite frustrating to be so close. I can have a cleanly drawn desktop via the 5870, it shows in Profiler corectly, but no real 3D.
 
Screen sharing is dog slow when GPU acceleration is absent. It may switch to software mode or something. I experienced the situation in my Mac Pro with an unflashed PC 4870.
It's interesting that some hackintoshes show the same symptoms as Mac Pros do, but not with the 5870 apparently.
It really looks like a driver issue, but it's not clear why acceleration works on hachintoshes with the same card. Has this ever occurred in the past, with another GPU?

BTW, why to driver stop at X3000? Why don't we have some ATIRadeonX4000.kext or ATIRadeonX5000.kext?
