coelomate1 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I see. sry. You should have misunderstood. My hackintosh is working in 32bit mode My case is that when i replaced my bootloader with Trauma!'s boot file, with GE=yes, it gave me a black screen.

bb2b Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 @Ingwar77: You were right, Graphics update does work, although i didn't need any of the USB Key stuff. I just installed the update and ran kext utility before rebooting and it worked. Also a little update on my part (Graphics update didn't change anything btw). I had success setting up Dual Monitor (extended and mirror) with my Eyefinity 6 using to miniDP-to-DVI connectors on ports #3 and #6. The Screens are recognized as LCD and VGA though which results in only 4:3 resolutions selectable on the "VGA" one and up to 1920x1200 on the LCD (i would need 2560x1600 though) Adding more than three (@0,@1,@2,@...) entries to ATY_Init seems to result in a KP, three work fine. Changing the connector-types in ATY_Init doesn't seem to have any effect, it doesn't even change when i check them in IO Registry Explorer.

kernel_picnic Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I'm not sure if HIS 5850 can use my ROM You may try extract your BIOS ROM using Radeon BIOS Editor That boot file is somehow necessary I tried switching that boot file with Chameleon 2 RC5 Trunk Rev384, only one DVI port shows on screen and QE/CI are off Of course, BIOS ROM is a must, without it, black screen all the time. Remark : Seems the HDMI port on my 5850 is not working if none of the DVI ports is connected it's meaningless because we still have two DVI ports, just a reminder. And of course......no ATY_init.kext is needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohamed Khairy Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 is a rom also needed or just the boot file? what thread did that attachment come from rom is needed only if you want chamelon theme work with full resolution rather than 1024*768 just replace boot file in root with new one and add to boot plist garphicenabler yes and remove aty_init and repair permission now you done it http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...;#&post=405 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bb2b Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Merci Trauma! Works as described. But i still got the display connector issues on my Eyefinity 6. Three Display connectors show up in System profiler but i can only use passive DVI Adapters which limit me to 1920x1200 on one display and to only 4:3 resolutions on the other. Maybe the attached ROM helps, it's Powercolor 5870 2GB Eyefinity 6. 5870EYE6.ROM.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What i did: 1.made backup of 5000 kexts 2. added graphicsenabler to boot.plist 2.install GFX update via software update( selected dont restart yet) 3.ran kextutility 4. reboot (osx installed GFX update before reboot finished) EDI\\ i messed up the GraphicsEnabler part in boot.plist but now my gfx fan runs at full speed w/ a black screen when i try to boot i noticed pkfsmuck said this Of course, BIOS ROM is a must, without it, black screen all the time. so im gunna go to windows quick and dump my rom and see if it helps and where do i put the 1002_6899.rom at? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
