arena QUITS on opening with Sapphire HD 7950 mac edition

[amoeba]

HI troops, I've just installed a Radeon Sapphire HD 7950 mac edition on my macpro
and now arena [all versions] won't open, and just quit on launch.
I used the drivers on the installation disk as I'm on 10.7.5 i then
downloaded the latest drivers from their website. As I'm on 10.7.5
i have to use their drivers.

Every other app on the mac works fine but just not arena/avenue

none of the previous resolumes will open either. I de installed the radeon drivers drivers
put my old card back in and everythings fine.

I've read previous posts but can't find any related to mac or this card.

SO does anyone know if ATI Radeon Sapphire HD 7950 mac edition will work with resolume,
or has ever worked with resolume and is it worth updating a working system to see if the ati drivers that come with os 10.8.3 fix the issue.

any help would be appreciated before I have to send it back.

below is the console log

Well, that console log does confirm it's getting stuck when trying to access the graphic card ( but I guess you didn't need me to tell you that ). Can you contact us directly via mail@resolume.com?

Hey guys. I'm planning to upgrade my mac pro 5,1 with a new HD7950 mac edition. Just to check, is Resolume working fine with this graphic card?

Yes, it works fine.

This post is from 2014 and was caused by a conflict between at that time new drivers and Resolume. It has long been solved.

Thanks, Joris.
