Ati Sapphire X550 Driver For Mac

Posted on  by admin

I have a PCI-Express based Sapphire Radeon X550 that's running on 10.4.3 (8F1111A). I installed the card after having installed 10.4.3, FWIW (was using the onboard Intel GMA900 previously). However, MacOS seems to only see the card as a generic 'VGA Compatible Controller' - no QE/no CI. I tried adding my Device ID to the Info.plist files in ATIRadeon.kext and ATIRadeonGA.plugin, but that didn't help.

The ATIRadeon.kext driver is shown in the loaded extensions list in System Profiler. Is there anyone out there with a PCI-E based Radeon that's gotten it to work with the Apple-supplied ATI drivers from 10.4.3?

People have said that the Radeon X550's don't work, but you can try anyway. First, put your Device ID in ATiRadeon9700.kext, NOT ATiRadeon.kext.

Then open up terminal, found in /applications/utilities/terminal. Then do this command in terminal: kextcache -k /system/library/extensions/. If anything goes wrong and you can't see anything while you're booting up, reboot, and hold down F8, then when your at the Darwin Bootloader, type in -x, so then your computer will boot into safe-mode, where it doesn't load any cached-Kext's. While in safe-mode, repeat the steps above, BUT INSTEAD, REMOVE YOU DEVICE ID from the Kext.
