Thread: Radeon 6520G kext?

I've searched high and low for it-- and i've found nothing. Although, there is one thing I found, but it's for the 69xx series. Anybody know where I can get an ATI Radeon 6520G kext?

System Specs:
Dual Booting OS X 10.6.3 + Windows 7 Ultimate
AMD Quad-Core A6-3400M CPU
ATI Radeon 6520G <-- Normal res is 1366x768
4GB RAM

Thanks!

please help me install 10.6.3 on your system, my system like you

I have the same card (3410mx, 6520g), would love to find a kext for it too.
At the moment with hazard 10.6.2 updated to 10.6.8

It kind of works out of the box for me and not.
I can change my resolution to 1366x768 if I use flag "Graphics Mode"="1366x768x32", there is transparency etc and it seems that I can play movies (but of course won't utilize the built in video decoder or provide any openCL acceleration).

however the video ram shows only as 128Mb (in windows it will take 512Mb of your ram and make it non-accessible for the cpu, if 4gb installed it will show 3.5Gb, as 0.5 are taken by the video card exclusively, apart from that the card can also take up to 2gb if required, like when playing a game). There is also a deterioration by the left and right edges of a window if I drag it around the screen(especially fast)

I guess I can use it as if it's intel gma x3100, but can forget about playing a game or use openCL (which kind of defeats the whole point of having a APU)

I'm stuck somewhat on this card too. I installed 10.6 via SnowLeo, but have zero support. No Acceleration, No Res's, nothing. I installed ATY-Init and "redeon HD" (I believe it was a typo) during the installation with no avail. If someone could upload the Kexts that are offering Res support via the Graphics Mode flag, that would be HIGHLY appreciated.

To make it Clear for other users, I am using an HP G7-1326dx with the Radeon 6520G Graphics (DEV/VEN 9647:1002).

I updated to 10.6.8 too but I can't change solution to 1336x768, I'm just stuck on 1024x768. How do you install your 6520g driver?

How did you get 10.6.3 install on this machine, i have the exact same machine and i can't install, can you help me with that?

I didn't couldn't find anything specific for 6520g (or apu's in general), that's why my graphic card is not really recognized, it shows as unknown with very little ram, but for some reason I can still change the resolution with boot flag, animations work but not very smooth and youtube videos don't play(web videos in general, being html5 or flash)
Before the 10.6.8 update the card was also not recognized properly but web videos were playing and the animations were smoother.
