Mobility RADEON 9000 and Mac OS X

[ThePlague]

I got iLife 08 the other day for my computer (dell latitude d600 with iDeneb v1.3 10.5.5) and everything works fine, except for the one thing that I actually wanted out of iLife, iMovie. Right now whenever I try loading iMovie up it says;

Quartz Extreme required.

iMovie requires a graphics card that is compatible with Quartz Extreme. One or more of your graphics cards does not support Quartz Extreme.

So, I read into that using google and wikipedia, and it says I need a driver compatible with mac osx and my mobility radeon 9000. So far I have no luck finding one that works with iDeneb v1.3 10.5.5, so if anyone has had experience with this, help?

That's because the last ATi driver made for Mac was specifically for the 48x0 series, and the last one that had anything to do with the 9000 series was for OSX Tiger 10.4.x, and had nothing to do with mobile chips because Apple didn't start using decent graphics in notebooks until the Intel switch, really.

[ThePlague]

So in short, i'm pretty much screwed?

[Warsaw]

Yes, unless someone somewhere made a custom driver. That possibility is highly unlikely though since your chip is somewhat obscure and most people running Hackintosh Leopard have newer machines or Intel graphics. If you had a Radeon 9000 on desktop, then that would be easy, because ATI has Mac drivers on their website.

Alright, thanks anyway. I'll keep this open just incase

But for which distro? :raise:

[ThePlague]

Yeah, wasn't very helpful for me :\

[Cojafoji]

Just saying that they're out there. If you want them badly enough, you'll find them, because someone just like you, with your exact notebook, tried to do the same thing.

How does iLife run on your laptop? The Apple store told me it wasn't worth buying because it would run to slow or not work at all for me. Instead their Employee told me I should "borrow" it from a "friend" and see how it worked. :lol:
