Have you ever wondered why the ATI video card that came with your Mac doesn't have the same features as the retail card? For years ATI has bundled software with their retail cards that adds features and extra capabilities. This software, known as "ATI Displays," is designed to only recognize and function with the retail version of the video card. These additional capabilities are withheld from OEM card owners even though, in most cases, the cards are nearly identical.
Radeon Enabler patches the ATI Displays application to allow it to recognize some OEM video cards. Once recognized, additional features like the OpenGL/3D overrides are "unlocked" and will function as if you have a retail card.
Radeon Enabler supports the following video cards:
- OEM Radeon 9800 XT
- OEM Radeon 9800 Pro
- OEM Radeon 9700 Pro
- OEM Radeon 9600 XT
- OEM Radeon 9600 Pro
- OEM Radeon 9000 Pro
- OEM Radeon 8500
- OEM Radeon 7500
- OEM Radeon AGP (7200)
- eMac Radeon 9200 graphics
- eMac Radeon 7500 graphics
- Radeon 9700 Mobility (Powerbook)
- Radeon 9600 Mobility (Powerbook)
- Radeon 9200 Mobility (iBook)
- Radeon 9000 Mobility (Powerbook)
- Radeon 7500 Mobility (Powerbook/iBook)
- Radeon Mobility (Powerbook)
Version 1.1.1:
- Added support for the OEM 9600XT/9800 XT shipping in the new G5's
- Added support for the OEM Radeon AGP (7200)
- Improved detection of missing or corrupted localization resources
- Enhanced the support file generation to include more detailed information from the System Profiler
This version does not add any additional functionality for previously supported cards. If you have already used [b]Radeon Enabler[/b] successfully for your chipset, there is no need to update to this latest version.
IMPORTANT If you have already used a previous version of Radeon Enabler, you must reinstall the ATI Radeon Displays package before you can use a newer version of Radeon Enabler. Radeon Enabler will only recognize an original, unpatched installation.
