Mac GPU question - ATI Radeon X1900 XT

First of all, my apologies if this is covered elsewhere and I have simply overlooked it.
I believe I have everything set up correctly for utilizing my GPU, but for some reason all of my E@H work units are being handled by the CPU. I'm wondering if (a) this ATI card is not supported or (b) if I have missed a configuration step along the way.
I am using BOINC 7.0.31 Mac OSX i686. In my E@H preferences, i have "Use ATI GPU" set to yes. I also have "Use CPU" and the "Run CPU versions of..." line set to yes, assuming that BOINC will route work as is most efficient. Should any of those settings be changed? Is there another step I'm missing?
Thanks advance for your help.
Edited to add more info: my OS is fully up-to-date as well.

Thanks for the info - I had missed that bit about the minimum requirement being a 5xxx series card.
