Just for the reference, you need both 10.5.2 drivers AND OpenGL Framebuffer to make your Sapphire X1650 Pro 256MB (71c6) Work with QE/CI Enabled...

WoW it took me a very long time to find it though ...


I managed to solve my QE/CI problem on my Sapphire ATI X1650 256MB (71c6) this way :

- Installed Kalyway from scratch and checked the Natit X1000 Installer is selected
- Upgraded with Apple Graphics Update

At this level everything was working fine ... resolutions and everything without ATIinject or Natit or EFI strings ...

Took those kexts to my 10.5.5 installation and damn ... they do not work.... scratched my head for a few hours and had a bunch of reboots ... till i remembered the OpenGL framework .... so i copied it over my 10.5.2 installation and BOOM !!!! it works ....

Something must have changed in newer OpenGL framework that messes up the support for this card ! So go grub your self all drivers for 71c6 and Framebuffer from here :

Extract files

copy Open* to /System/Library/Frameworks
copy the kexts to your /System/Library/Extensions directory
chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions
chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions
rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

I've got ATIinject and Natit installed both at the same time but i dont thing this helps anyway ...

Enjoy...
