The best idea is to delete the file ATIRadeonX3000GLDriver.bundle from /System/Libraries/Extensions and boot with GraphicsEnabler=No. This will give full resolution support but no acceleration.

ehmm...does 6970 and 6950 work on Snow Leopard? Not interested to Lion now

well, either you can use windows and MacDrive (I think they have a 10 day trial), or you can:

-Try get basic VGA support by entering -x as a switch when you boot
-Log in to single user mode (command line) by entering -s as a switch.

Boot into your Lion Installer DVD/USB/Partition and from the top menu go to Utilities -> Terminal. From there, navigate to where the extensions are located (as mentioned above) and rename/delete the file. Off the top of my head I think to get to it right off that bat would be like: cd /Volumes/Hackintosh/System/Library/Extensions (where "Hackintosh" is the name of your partition where Lion is installed to). To rename the file would be like: mv ATIRadeonX3000GLDriver.bundle newfilename.bk (where the bk extension can be something other than the .bundle extension).

6970 = limited, not accelerated. 6950 = no. Same on Lion.

IMO 6870 is best hackintosh GPU at the moment, until Apple updates drivers.

Not entirely true. I have my 6950 working on both SL and Lion. However, I can only get a 4:3 screen resolution. So everything is a bit stretched, but I can deal with it. So, while the 6970 is better, the 6950 works.

I have read that the new MacBook Airs and Mac Minis have a new version of Lion (thats not available as an update). Does anyone know if there are some new drivers in those builds?

6950=limited as well, mine works just as well (or just as poorly) as a 6970 Full resolution but no QE/CI.

How did you manage to get full res with the 6950?
I can only get 4:3... so I'm currently running at 1600x1200x32
