ATI Displays v4.1.1 for Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) is Out

and available for download from ATI. According to ATI,

The ATI Displays versions included in previous installers do not work correctly with Panther, Mac OS 10.3. Specifically, Mac2TV™, the Advanced pane including VERSAVISION and the OpenGL Overrides features of ATI Displays were unusable if installing the software for the RADEON 9800 Pro after installing Mac OS X 10.3.

This update fixes the following potential issues:

  • Installer program putting some required files into the incorrect folder on the 10.3 boot drive (namely ATITVOut.kext)
  • ATITVOut.kext fails to load with Mac OS X 10.3
  • ATI Displays shows an error stating ATITVOut.kext version is too old
  • ATI Monitor not launched by ATI Displays
  • ATI Displays does not quit or takes very long to quit
  • ATI ROM Xtender is not required for Panther (replaced by ATIRuntimeDriver - included in Panther)

The update is for the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, 9000 Pro, 8500 and original Mac Edition. However, if you have a retail 9800 Pro and have already installed the Radeon 9800 Update 1.1, then you do not need this update.

There are warnings on some Mac web sites that this update causes a problem with the users custom preference panes.
