This is a small guide on how to set up Natit for PCI-E Radeon HD graphics cards in Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.5 & higher). By following the steps below you will get full QE/CI/OpenGL and DVI output. HDMI, S-Video and Composite outputs are confirmed to work with a Radeon HD3870. It is actually a lot easier than you might think. This guide is for advanced users only. If you want a simple installer, check. In case you have an older version of Leopard installed, see the.

Supported Radeon HD cards:. Radeon HD 2400. Radeon HD 2600 Pro, Radeon HD 2600 XT. Radeon HD 2900 Pro, Radeon HD 2900 XT. Radeon HD 3850. Radeon HD 3870. Radeon HD 3870x2.

Other Radeon HD 2x00/38x0 cards might work as well Step by step guide:. Get Natit (attached to this post). Extract the archive and copy Natit.kext to /System/Library/Extensions. Locate ATIRadeonX2000.kext in /System/Library/Extensions, Open /System/Library/Extensions/ATIRadeonX2000.kext/Contents/Info.plist with the editor of your choice and add the PCI ID of your card (if it is not already in there). Only if you have a Radeon 2900 Pro or a Radeon 2900 XT download Extract it and copy ATYFranklin.kext to /System/Library/Extensions/ATINDRV.kext/Contents/PlugIns.

Otherwise skip this step.Open Terminal (if you haven't already done so) and type: cd /System/Library/Extensions sudo chown -R root:wheel. sudo chmod -R 755. sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions/Caches/com.apple.kext.info.You are done.

Reboot and pray Additional files If you have problems with white menus, you might want to try one of these files. Starting with 10.5.5 it should not be necessary to install these patches any more. If you have a Radeon 2600 Pro or a Radeon 3850 and 10.5.1 download (white menu fix) Extract it and replace the original ATIRadeonX2000GLDriver.bundle in /System/Library/Extensions with the one you have just downloaded. If you have a Radeon 2600 Pro or a Radeon 3850 and 10.5.2 download (white menu fix) Extract it and replace the original ATIRadeonX2000GLDriver.bundle in /System/Library/Extensions with the one you have just downloaded.

Notes:. It is recommended to perform a clean install. Do not select any graphics-related things during the installation. AMD users: you might need a patched OpenGL.framework.

Radeon HD 2400 users: You do not get DVI support. You have to use a DVI2VGA-converter instead.

If DVI works, HDMI will work as well (with DVI2HDMI adaptor), no HDMI audio ATM. AGP versions of these cards require additional patching. I cannot test it and therefore this guide does only apply to the PCI-E versions. Changelog:. 2009-03-01: Updated permissions of Natit. 2009-02-27: Added new Natit.kext and updated the post. 2008-04-03: updated 2900 information, added ATYFranklin.kext link, added link to FAQ Thanks to who made these great drivers.

For more information check the #radeonhd IRC channel at irc.osx86.hu Please also have a look at! Dang I can't get it working even on the rev 2 install disk.

I have PCI 2.0 if thats a problem. Which kernel are you using? Strange, PCI-E 2.0 should not be the problem. I use the 9.2.0 kernel (10.5.1 users would probably use the 9.1.0 kernel) (Darwin Kernel Version 9.2.0: Tue Feb 5 16:13:22 PST 2008; 9c31:xnu-1228.3.131/RELEASEI386 i386). Your DVI2VGA-Adaptor should not be a problem either.

Are you sure you have added the device id of your card? Did you install the ATIRadeonX2000GLDriver.bundle?

If not, do it. If you have, try it without it I haven't used Zephyroth 10.5.1, so maybe something is missing or outdated there.

If you can, try getting Zephyroth 10.5.2. I tried with my 2400 but got no success!

The system gets panic at very early boot; even with the '-s' flag I can't boot anymore. Using amd 5200+, asus M2v motherboard, and Leo4all 10.5.2 never mind, i quit, i'll purchase another graphics card Well, if it panics when booting with '-s' it is probably not because of your craphics card. What does the kernel panic say? My guess are some Nvidia kexts. Put in your install DVD, open Terminal and navigate to your Leopard install.

Then try to remove all Nvidia kexts Regerds, mcsamrt. Hi all, I followed all the above instruction but after rebooting, the white screen with the apple logo appears (distorted res) and then the screen turns blue (a very nice and smooth blue though). All I can see is a mouse which i can control and it appears to be in the correct resolution (1650x1080). And also I think that OSX is running behind that blue screen 'cuz I notice when i moved the mouse to the corner that I set up to display all windows, the mouse changed into a hand with a finger pointing. Any advice, guys?

Thanks Here's my system: Zephyroth Leopard 10.5.2 AMD EFI AMD X2 3800+ Asus A8N-VM CSM Visiontek HD 2600 Pro 512mb (dev id:9589) HDD: Maxtor 200GB IDE (MBR partitioned) audio: Soundmax (got it working with azalia package installer) Lan: Nforce ethernet (not working, tried forcedeth and skge).

So, anyone got any idea for my problem yet? Please, guys? I've just tried the Leopard graphic update and got my kernel panic. Really don't know what else I can do. My previous post: Hi all, I followed all the above instruction but after rebooting, the white screen with the apple logo appears (distorted res) and then the screen turns blue (a very nice and smooth blue though).

I have the set up you describe, and it works, but with a catch. I have an early 'early 2008' 3.1 Mac Pro, and have two monitors and two display cards - a 23 inch monitor hooked up to the 2600 and a 30 inch HP monitor hooked up to the Apple branded ATI 5770 card. You probably need the apple-branded ATI 5770 card rather than a cheaper Windows version of the card, as the graphics card needs EFI-aware firmware to run properly on a Mac Pro, which the windows cards don't generally have. There are workarounds, which let you use a cheaper Windows 5770 card, but they are beyond my technical skills. Also, you need an auxilliary power cable which goes from the card to the motherboard, which apple supplies with the apple-branded card. The ATI 5770 should be installed in slot one, and the 2600 moved to slot two.

The glitch I have is that sometimes, maybe one time in 10 or 20, when waking up from sleep, the monitor hooked up to the ATI 5770 behaves bizarrely. Either it has 'fuzz' on the image, it blinks on and off repeatedly, or, occasionally the image is corrupted. Not everyone with this setup experiences these glitches, but some do, judging by comments on this forum. The 'fix' is to reset the graphics card by using the control-shift-eject keyboard shortcut, which turns off the displays, followed by pressing any keybaord key (I use return) to turn them back on. The problem is with the computer, not the graphics card, I have tried two different 5770 cards - different types of glitches, but both had the problem.

I'm running the 10.7.4 version of Lion. Well if money were no object then yes I can see your point, but the 5770 is affordable and would be a big step up from the 2 x 2600XT cards that I have installed at the moment, modo uses open GL to display, and processor only for rendering, it doesn't acess or need to access CUDA functionality, it already has one of the fastest and best renderers on the planet, second only to maybe vRay, but not by much quadro cards are overpriced these days, they are usually underclocked to ensure reliability and often fall short of much more affordable cards performance wise.

My choices are a single 5770 to run both monitors or a 5770 plus the 2600XT if the different cards don't play nice together then I'll just buy one 5770, it's not a big deal, I'm just looking for the specific answer. Drivers have never been that good, the Quadro drivers, not the hardware, too. Maybe the 5870 would make sense, but I would also after TWO YEARS hope that ATI 78xx or maybe Nvidia could not make a GTX 660? Or something to have a 'Mid-life' refresh. I mean even $249 let alone $449.? When Q4K is $790 (Amazon) and still $1195 Apple Store which is criminal.

Makes $329 GTX 570 cheap and sensible. But we don't have OpenGL 4.0 even being supported. So I don't understand how they can claim or do anything, and OpenCL coding is a mess even while it is about 5 yrs now since it came out.

I'm running the 10.7.4 version of Lion. I saw the drop in performance mentioned on another forum and hope that Lion still has more in store and known issue with graphic drivers. Remember ATI and 10.6.4. Why disable OpenGL in Photoshop CS5 Photoshop CS5 Crashing With OS X 10.6.4 with ATI Radeon 4870 OpenGL Mac Pro Is that drop ONLY happening in pre-2009? The difference beween '10 and '09 seems pretty minor in firmware. And then some are flashing a 2009 to have 2010 to support new and better processors. No help for you but would help narrow down WHY the odd behavior.

I almost think they don't test enough, and then 'we'll fix this in the next version of OS X'. Apple Footer.
