When logged in use the Comboupdate to OSX 10.6.8, remove again every ATI stuff from S/L/E and just use mine. Then you get into OSX setup assistant at 1024x768 vesa mode. Preconfiguration / Installation FOR NEW SETUP of OSX on L500: install retail OSX 10.6.x with "#" or other boot cd/usb sticks, - boot into single user mode the first time and remove all ATI*.kext,ATI*.plugins and ATI*.bundles from /S/L/E ( else you get no screen ) - repair permission and boot the next time with -f to skip the mkext loading. If you have already OSX 10.6.6/10.6.7 already installed and your 4650 works - just run the 10.6.8 updater and grab the ATI kexts from below here, replace 10.6.8 kexts with these ones. Card identiefied correct like before The double entry under pci-cards in system profiler is eliminated when using this kext solution :įor your testing pleasure : ATY_ Pro : Will have full QE/CI/ 3D like before. ![]() ![]() , can make use of better EFI support in OSX. Pro : can use any new chameleon in future, important for Lion support. Leave ATI rom file in /Extra and also smbios must be still imac 9,1 or 11,1 IF YOU USE THIS ATY_INIT.kext ( in /S/L/E ) THEN REMOVE "GraphicsEnabler=YES" from the ! Instead of being limited to a specific boot file that has patched ATI.c support for our 9480 device model and forces Shrike as the Framebuffer, I have taken netkas' ATY_INIT.kext and modified it so that Shrike is forced as the FB for the mobility 46xx cards with dev id 9480 - it is loaded at boot time right before the Desktop starts. playing with various OSX versions over the last days had given me some "oh,really ?" effects. If you want to use ANY new chameleon ( or even other Bootloaders like PC-Efi,Efiloader,Chimera. Update No.2 : new chameleon installer ( updates the boot file ), this boots SL and LION and works with my trick ( Shrike,ATI 9480 ) : full chameleon installer, installs newer boot file : Chameleon_2.0_RC5_r780_trunk_545vm_ LVDS internal entries not changed, so works like before but maybe good for extra function: ( notice : if you use external monitors right now and it is working then DON'T use the newer ATI4600controller.kext. Internal LVDS entry not changed, so they work like before but if you are lucky you can now also have external monitors. ![]() UPDATE July 8,2011 : edited the 10.6.8 ATI4600controller.kext again for VGA and HDMI out. This here deals with OSX 10.6.8 ( SNOW LEOPARD ) - I HAVE ALSO WORKING SIMILAR SOLUTION NOW FOR LION GM, if you want that go here -> QE/CI 4650mobility Toshiba L500, for LION GM Some people have gotten their Laptops from MSI / HP / Acer to work too, but I can only guarantee for the specific L500 model : This 4650 mobility solution is good for Toshiba ( Phoenix BIOS ) Laptop L500 model. NEW : GUIDE to all Satellite L500 Hardware components ( OSX 10.7, but should also match most Snow Leo questions )
