coldequation Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Arggh. I need some help from someone who's done 2-machine debugging on hacks. I've tried many different ways, and I can't get the debugger on the host machine to attach to the panic'ed kernel on the target machine. If anyone knows how to do it, or knows someone who does, PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharpieBandit Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 We are doing what we can!If you want Leopard running smoothly QE/CI and All resolutions By a MacBook like mine!!!! I would LOVE to have a Mac like that. I just don't have the funds for it. I already owe the college I'm going to $3k a semester. I can't go out and buy a MBP right now. Whenever I get out of college and get a steady job, heck yeah I'm gonna get a Mac Pro. I don't like how the iMacs are set up, and I've never been a laptop kind of guy.

Max.1974 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I love Mac, but i need windows too...so, i have SONY VAIO, and triboot <><><>Awesome... The spirit of this, is: when we get the drivers, we have working the bests programs on the best hardwares, like Pc's "non real mac"...and you still have only Mac, very very expensive... Well, is not about money, just adventure, just look a thing running on "hachintosh PC"... We get the bit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonasmac01 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I would like to suggest trying command line options: "Graphics Mode"="1920x1080x32" (or similar) "Graphics Mode"= Tells the system what resolution width, height, color depth & refresh rate to boot the OS with. Ex: "Graphics Mode"="1024x768x32" WIDTHxHEIGHTxDEPTH If that doesn't work then you might want to try and modify the kext. These solutions worked for me on another system and card a while back I really would like to now if this works since a motherboard I am looking at has this onboard. Where should i enter these codes??

bibendum Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Some setbacks. 10.5.7 was panicing often. I traced it down to VoodooHDA, so now working without sound. But I still have to resolve the Windows 7 situation. Vista boots okay, but 7 is hosed. So although I was hoping to setup the debug kernel today that won't happen. I have to get Win 7 back up, first (first, do no harm...). Then I need to concentrate on things that bring in $. So I may get to debugging by the end of the week. I am providing updates so you know that I haven't forgotten all of you. -u For those wanting to write their own driver kexts, this recently posted: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1221376 Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gozali Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 To do that, just modify com.apple.Boot.plist adding: <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1280x1024x32@60</string> Or wherever your resolution is... See ya! It doesn't work, i think i should doing a little hack with grub2 again *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeldakid1227 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 hi everyone, is there any news for the people who have really odd display sizes like mine? (1366x768) i tried the most recent Chameleon method, but to no avail. my chipset doesnt ever support 1280x800 :/ just wondering what up -Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldequation Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Been on vacation. Should be back to looking at this next week. BTW, everyone should cross their fingers that Apple will release a tablet. Although specs are only a guess, if Apple doesn't use ARM as the chip, and goes with a core 2 duo, then likely the graphics chip will be a 4500MHD...

That's the standard 16:9 720p resolution now days. And yes, I've had mine working for at least a month now with that resolution. There's a tutorial in the tutorial section I think. I think the patch is called patch4500 or something similar. Doesn't fix QE/CI though. It's even in this thread somewhere around the middle.

jasim Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I think the Pic here( the leaked pic of a itablet).. http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/15/apple-t...we-can-feel-it/ looks like it wll be running an Iphone OS rather than snow leopard,even though it shows a leopard screen.. It would be an ARM more often... Guyz have u been here..??? http://www.opensource.apple.com/release/mac-os-x-105/ There is so many open source drivers available... could some one look into it and hard code somethin for X4500???

Guyz have u been here..??? http://www.opensource.apple.com/release/mac-os-x-105/ There is so many open source drivers available... could some one look into it and hard code somethin for X4500??? I think it's maybe very difficult to see which tabled pic is right. There's a lot of them that showed up lately, but actually, I think none of them look like the real deal. It might be an ARM, it might be an intel, we don't know. So yeah, why not hope it's an intel with GMAX4500? As for the open source drivers: there are a lot of drivers indeed, but the difficulty is that apple doesn't open source their graphics drivers. So it would be very intensive for somebody to write a new driver, that supports QE/CI, starting from nothing. Thus we are trying an easier way, namely, just reusing the drivers apple gives. The only problem is that the only guy who actually knows about coding and so on (coldequation), is stuck at his two-machine debugging, with wich I'm unable to help him :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abkratch Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Guys, No matter what distro of leopard you have, to enable full res without cursor issue, Install chameleon rc2, and then OSX86 Tools, add Efi String, type in "Graphics Mode"="1280x800x32@60Hz" or whatever resolution your monitor is. Reboot, and find out that you have full resolution, Good Luck. Worked like a charm for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks To enter verbose mode in chameleon RC2, select the OSX partition using left or right arrow keys and just press the down arrow.. and press Enter Key. THere will be option for Boot in Verbose Mode. Or You can select the OSX partition and just type -v on the keyboard and press enter Key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The codes he suggested would have to be entered in the /Library/Preferences/SystemPreferences/com.apple.Boot.plist. If you search the forums you can find tons of tutorials on how to edit this file Please remember, in order for the fix you are trying to use to work, you need to use Chameleon 2 RC2. You can find it over at chameleon.osx86.hu . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
