Hi
i’ve tried the procedure very carefully but my sapphire 2600 didnt work on my 8core 2.8ghz
Maybe because i’ve dismounted the original Ati radeon 2600 and was using the mac thru Apple remote desktop?
Very irritating btw that on bootcamp the card worked perfectly..
Any help?
Thanks

Marco

I was not sucessfull (no QE!) with this way for a MSI RX2600PRO 512MB for PCI-Express.

BUT i have found the right patch for this (only install and go) on the iPC_OSx86_10_5_6_Universal_PPF5_Final DVD in the Folder: /System/Installation/Packages/OSx86Patches/
Filename: RHD2600ProPCIE

BTW: In this folder you also find a driver for 2600XT and more!

You wrote, to use the windows drivers could be a way. Is it really possible to use drivers for Win in OSX? How to do this? Which files for the drivers are needed? (i want to try this way for Intel GMX 3100 graphics)

type it with sudo and you don’t have to be ROOT

sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/Natit.kext
