You may want to boot with -v -f the first time to reindex your kext caches.įWIW, on my card I didn't actually have to do the hex edits to get QE/CI working.
#HOW TO HEX EDIT WITH HEX FIEND ON MAC INSTALL#
Then once you are done making your ist edits and hex edits, just install the kext with KextBeast (or KextHelper, KextUtility, etc.), fire up Disk Utility and fix permissions and then reboot. If it complains about permissions (which it probably SHOULD since /S/L/E should be owned by root) i would recommend copying the entire kext to a folder owned by you, eg your desktop, and then editing the kext from there.

Just search for d571 and swap all of the values for d471 and save the binary file. If I recall correctly, this string should appear three times in the binary. Basically what that means is if you are trying to change the value "71d5" you need to search for the string "d571".
#HOW TO HEX EDIT WITH HEX FIEND ON MAC CODE#
The compiled code in the binary blob is byte-swapped with the way that you read it in source. So for your card, I believe that the closest devID is 71d5. For me, I had to look for 71c5 and swap all instances of 71c5 with 71c4. Open this file with your hex editor, (I used hex fiend) and search for the device ID that is closest to your actual device id.

It is a "binary blob", meaning that it is a block of code that can't be properly opened by a text editor the way uncompiled source code can be. The file that you need to hex edit is located at /System/Library/Extensions/ATIRadeonX1000.kext/Contents/MacOS/ATIRadeonX1000 Once Finder reloads you should be able to see all the hidden files on your HD.
