" Hi, Guess what? I check the highpoint site to see if there is a update to my raid 2224 card for the G5 (and Leopard). I install it and it works! Woohoo!
Cool-Aids for everyone who missed out on halloween! So now it works on a G5.

It listed as 11/01/07 but still at v1.10.

I asked if he knew of any other updates for PPC owners that had other RocketRAID card model problems in Leopard (previous reports here) and he wrote there was an update to the 1.10 driver for 2322 card that a Quad G5 owner said worked. (RR 2314 was another card PPC owners reported problems with - driver version is still shown as "2.20" but not sure if it's been 'revised' recently also - they may have fixed/updated all the drivers that had problems w/PPC macs in Leopard and not updated the version numbers.)

"ATi Displays 4.5.7 -- now installs correctly on Mac Pro (4.5.6 would only install on G5s without a Terminal hack, despite it being Universal). However, it crashes as soon as you try to launch it (you can see the legend 'Unknown ATi Graphics' in the Prefs Pane before it quits. Card is an ATi X1900 XT
Cheers, Tim "

On my 2003 Dual 2GHz G5 with ATI X800 card (from first shipment years ago) - I have ATI Displays v4.5.5 installed (never updated to 4.5.7) - it still runs in 10.5 (opens, all panels show, etc.) but not tried tweaking any settings. I wrote an ATI support contact to ask about any updates for Leopard.
Update - Aaron wrote there's a v4.5.9 of ATI Displays included with the X1900 G5 Edition (retail card):

"The X1900 for the G5 has a driver disc that has a newer version of the ATI Displays utility than is available off the internet. (The current ATI/AMD site ATI Displays Utility download is v4.5.7) Inside it has a newer version of ATI Displays, 4.5.9. It's a universal binary and works on Leopard for me...
(if someone really needs it, write me.)
The G5 driver disc is available as a download from ATI.com, and it's possible for anyone to do the same trick on the disk image there that I had to pull on the disc myself.
(ATI/AMD's support site, drivers page (requires cookies enabled in browser, and cookie set to get to a deeper page in my past experience - deep links fail otherwise.) has a 13+MB download there - from the driver search page select - Mac OS/Mac OS X 10.4.x/Radeon/Radeon X1900 G5 series for Mac which will go to a page with a download of the (13.7MB) "Radeon X1900 G5 series Update" (Jan 17th, 2007) . I tried posting a direct download link here but they have a trap (leech check) for that.-Mike)

The ATI Displays utility is hidden inside a seemingly impenetrable (to me) VISE-X archive in an installer and can't be gotten at until after the G5 X1900 driver installs. It uses sysctl to check if it's running on a G5 or not, so in order to get it to install (and then steal the displays utility) on my Mac Pro and I had to temporarily replace the real sysctl binary with a shell script that outputted what it was looking for. A bit of a nasty hack.

"Mike, I got Time machine to work now! I just changed the name of my mac in the sharing preference panel and made sure it had no space characters or capital letters (?) in it.
(I think the main thing is to avoid spaces (and special characters)-Mike)
I think the space was the culprit but I did not want to take a chance...
the backup takes 15 hours+ !

Update: Here's some related Apple Troubleshooting docs (from the Nov. 5th news page)

• OS X 10.5: Time Machine backups are not visible (don't use special characters in Computer Name.
• OS X 10.5: Time Machine stops backing up to external disk ("After about 10 GB or more of data is backed up to an external disk, Time Machine may stop backing up. This may happen the first time Time Machine backs up your files..." (fix is to reformat the drive)

" Our extended descriptions cover specific models... Our compatibility guide only shows up to the 3.0GB models for older MacBook Core 2 Duos also... But, something else - there does seem to be a benefit for going 4.0GB in the MacBooks. On nearly every case - there was a performance gain in our test series with the prior 3.0GB machines when 4.0GB was installed:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/Memory_Benchmark/Apple_MacBook/
At the very least we know 128Bit addressing (dual channel enabled with like pairs) does engage when 2GB x 2GB is installed. But it may be more than that. We very much believe it's more than that with the MacBook Pro 15.4in given some otherwise even larger unexplained gains from 3GB to 4GB installed in those 3.0GB supported pre-santa rosa models:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/Macbook_Pro_15_Memory_Benchmarks
We have the new MacBooks on order - what will be most telling is how they benchmark with different configs. We will be doing a new series with Leopard on the entire MacBook 13.3" line and then with the MacBook Pro 17" and later with the 15.4". Fun times.

• Macbook 2.2GHz (1GB/160GB/Superdrive) $1499

A reader said the previous 160GB/7200rpm HD option is now 200GB/7200rpm (adds $200). 4GB ram CTO option adds $850 (!), although 4GB kits are available elsewhere under $160.
(BTW - a C2D MacBook owner wrote last week that all 4GB were recognized in 10.5, previously only appx 3GB usable if 4GB installed.) See the MacBook product page and Macbook Tech Specs page for complete details.
FYI - See the updated Apple docs on the new Macbooks (below), including one that has notes on limitations of the onboard graphics ("intensive 3D graphics may not run correctly")

The MacBook Pro site has been updated also with the MBP Tech Specs page now listing the 2.6GHz option. Just a FYI on the MBP apple store (USA) std config models/pricing - the 2.6GHz CPU is a $250 CTO option on the upper 2 models.

4GB ram option still insanely high - $700.
