Thanks to Slice for his latest Radeon 9000 driver update (here). I've installed this on a ThinkPad T41 (Radeon Mobility 9000, AGP, 32MB, 1400x1050 LCD) running Leopard (iPC OSx86 10.5.6 install, Voodoo 9.5.0 kernel). However, with the AGPGart 2.6.7 included, it will hang at boot time after the following messages:

CODE
Ati: Probing.
ATI: Found Intel x86 BIOS ROM Image
Ati: F8 written 003f0000
Ati: Set model=ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9000
AGP: Coherence support: no
AGP: GART is 32 bit capable
AGP: Found an AGP 2.0 compliant device.
AGP: Aperture Reduced To 128MB
AGP: VRAM=[e0000000, 08000000]
AGPINTEL: aperture [e4000000, 08000000]


If I disable AGPGart.kext, it will boot up successfully, but I get a panic in IOGraphicsFamily if I look at Graphics/Displays in System Profiler.

Are there any other kexts that should or shouldn't be loaded along with this driver bundle? What about Callisto?

I'm also having a bit of a problem with sleep/wakeup on this system - without Callisto (b003 fixed), it only does a System Doze, with Callisto, it can sleep, but the display freezes on wakeup. I'm guessing this is a graphics driver issue?

Thanks for testing!
As I understand you have Radeon with DeviceID=4c66? It is differ from my 5835 so you must look for your solution.
1. As I know the only working AGP settings in BIOS is <AGP aperture = 64Mb>
2. My solution is for Tiger while you work in Leopard. May be this is an incompatibility with IOGraphicsFamily. I don't know.
3. I don't use GA.plugin because I have no QE yet.

O, yes! Apple has a good driver for PowerPC architecture but not for Intel.
