Thanks, Tony
Thank you! Is there a Multibeast update as well _ I am just about to rebuild a machine so if there is an update in the pipeline I will wait till it appears!
im running 10.7.2 with last chimera from multibeast,is there any point in updating if all running good,i've got facetime,app store etc etc?
is this http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=118&t=35936 fixed ? thnx..
nice!
Thank you MacMan and tonymaxx86 :) Cheers!
Hey FLiCKaPiX,
If it ain't broke, why fix it?
I have a system on 10.6.8 running on Chimera 1.4.6 ;)
I tried to install 6770 kexts, but everything I tried has been unsuccessful... :/ hope this chimera helps... xd
What do you mean by "Proper drivers are required for full graphics support." I have an ATI Radeon HD 5770, and have been having daily kernel panics with it in both 10.6.8 and 10.7.2. Could this help the issue? Thank you for all you do!
I also don't understand wht do u mean by proper drivers....
If they r required where can we download them from?
Other then this I m happy tht nw my card is supported by chimera , x6739 - HD6850... Have spent so many days figuring this out just to boot my hackintosh :-)
Thanks Tony, U rock!
It's great that almost every time we have problems with new hardware that Chimera includes fixes. But it seems that selecting a frame buffer type such as Bulrushes is necessary to get some of these cards fully working. Is Chimera the place this should be done or where?
Does this mean the laptops can finally support the AMD Radeon HD 6630M??
When you said added support for the 5770 what did you mean? I have been doing OK with just graphics enabler - yes in 10.6.7 (triple monitor), but I lose one when I try to upgrade. Are you suggesting triple should work in Lion now or no? Do I need graphics enabler = yes anymore? Just trying to see what you added. Thank You.
RAID0 AND facetime!!! Oh how do I love you!! Now I just have to back up my winRaid drives and re-up the drives to Raid! Finally get rid of those ANNOYING pop-ups when I boot Lion.
This is the first version that I have been able to install without having to resize my drive down below 3tb. I was very happy when I saw that the boot loader successfully updated without having to delete my iTunes library, resize, install then resize again and then restore. Excellent work. :)
any one have this working on dual monitors
doesn't work oob with my 5770 although i haven,t tried to fix it yet
EXCELLENT, that widens the possibilties on laptops, thats for sure!
My graphics card is curently recognized as 5700 series, is that ok and will it be corrected to 5770 (as it should be), by installing chimera 1.6 ??? Will I get anything more out of it by doing so?
I installed this on Lion 10.7.2, hoping it would fix Facetime. Instead it causes a KP on boot. I can boot with rBoot but I want to go back to 1.5.4!
many KP ,my ati is 5670 HD,when i used graphic enabler = no ,the KP disappeared
Radeon 6770m not work. I get "Unsupported ATI..."
Everything seems to go ok, but when I boot from the USB drive, the spinner goes for a few minutes and then an exed out box appears over the apple logo (http://www.majotphotography.com/TestingGrounds/Leopard.5/DSC_4170.JPG).
Kext issues?
I can confirm I got QE/CI with ATI 6670 by GraphicEnabler=Yes and PCIRootUID=0 on Gigabyte MB.
BUT at a price! It broke iCloud and App store!
Perhaps others reporting problems with iCloud and App store is to do with PCIRootUID setting not =1. Fixes with eth0 and similar did not work for me.
For now I prefer a system with Lion goodness and reversed the settings and keep wishing really hard for the next release.
ATI Radeon HD 6630 Not work. Help me please
Hi cakemonster,
If you have a XFX ATI HD 5770, to keep working your card (with 3 monitors) at 10.6.8 or Lion 10.7.x, just use the 10.6.7 ATI Drivers, only these three "ATI5000Controller.kext, ATIFramebuffer.kext & ATISupport.kext"
Good luck!
Roy
PLEASE tell me... Does my Sapphire Radeon HD6670 Ultimate will work with ma hackintosh through vga port ( or through dvi-vga adaptor)Thanks.
