ATI Framebuffer Stuffs

In order to find out if your lion is properly supporting your 6xxx card, you must run in a term. window:

ioreg | grep ATY

If you have a framebuffer loaded (other than generic) you'll see +-o ATY,xxx,RadeonFramebuffer...

If you Don't, you'll see ATY,ATY,Radeon....


Okay so using the supposed Stock kexts included with GM, I was able to JUST turn on GraphicsEnabler=Yes in com.apple.boot.plist and the ioreg cmd returned this:

| | | | +-o ATY,Duckweed@0 | | | | +-o ATY,Duckweed@1 | | | | +-o ATY,Duckweed@2 | | | | +-o ATY,Duckweed@3 | | | | +-o ATY,Duckweed@0 | | | | +-o ATY,Duckweed@1 | | | | +-o ATY,Duckweed@2 | | | | +-o ATY,Duckweed@3
Which means that Ati.c automatically picked up Duckweed... A Good thing. Now DVD Player, Steam, Geekbench won't crash on us. Video is a little smoother overall possibly?
