In this tutorial i'll  show you how to get working graphics  ATI 5450 in Lion 10.7.3 hackintosh

i am assuming that you already installed boot-loader  and other kexts if you dont you should install them first, for more on installation guides see http://www.tonymacx86.com and get back here when you install everything except graphics 

NOTE  : I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you! use google for other troubleshooting 

STEPS :

          $ defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
          $ killall Finder

• about this mac
• more info

3 :Add your Device ID to ATi5000controller.kext and ATiReadeonx3000.kext.

• GO to System/Library/Extensions 
• then find one of the above Kexts and show package contents
