Very good work, DONG¡¡¡¡¡¡ Thanks for yours drivers.

 

These drivers only work in 10.5 ? For me work only in kalyway 10.5.2 full resolution for my card 1440x900x32

 

Now I have installed SNOW 10.6.1 and no luck for any of yours drives, don't load any driver.

 

DELL STUDIO 1737

Intel ICH9M/M

ATI HD3650 PCIe 0x9591

4GB 800 MHZ RAM

2.40 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo P8600

Snow 10.6.1

 

Some informacion for this card HD3650 PCIe, is working in 10.6 ?

 

Thanks all

try booting snow with the -x32 flag. this driver isn't 64bit compatible yet, and pc_efi boots snow in 64 bits by default.

Amazing! Works w/o any flaws.

 

1280x800 native, CI/QE also on Mobility X2300 (non-HD), X1000 extension loaded.

Resolution switch possible.

Nice Job!

So far I have successfully installed 10/20 drivers (since I do not have any mouse glitching issues with these, and would rather not have a skewed cursor) on both iDeneb 10.5.8 and iATKOS v7 on my hp tx2z.

 

Now if I can just get to to fall asleep good... any takers?

Try set "enableHWCursor" in Info.plist to "false" to see if it helps.

Did you rebuild the kernel cache after set "enableHWCursor" in Info.plist to "false"? In 10.6, you must touch /S/L/E sometimes.

The touch in S/L/E worked! It is the solution. It works for me.

 

Now, it's all ok! :(

 

Thanks a lot, :)

excellent excellent ! :(

just tried out the latest version, and mouse tearing is gone completely on my X1400 mobility!

yeah, mouse cursor got skewed, but if i change the cursor size in system preferences, there is a size when it gets ok. the mouse is no more skewed, only the cursor is bigger than usual.

hi! what laptop do you have ?

first you need to get the EDID of your laptop monitor with this windows software :

http://www.tucows.com/preview/329441

save it into a binary file (.bin i think)

then you convert it to b64 encoding (i used total commander for that)

you download radeonhd.kext, which looks as a folder in windows, you open the plist.info for editing. copy your EDID in b64 format into this part <key>EDID</key>...<data> (i did this on windows too)

then you install the edited Radeonhd.kext with OSX86Tools which is the easiest way if you dont want to mess around with unix commands ( http://osx86tools.googlecode.com/files/OSX...ols_1.0.150.zip )

reboot, and cross your fingers :ninja:

Just tried this, it has no effect on some other cursor shapes such as the finger shape.

Thanks DONG!!!!The super. B);):)

 

 

 

 

Unique kext‚ at which at me video sees a computer.

The truth gives out not my permissions of the monitor and in certain cases frequency (and at 75 Mhz the monitor floats). Probably not that kext‚ has put? (From such abundance of variations it was confused)

What should be put on Kalivej 10.5. *?

Dong, what u think about making this FB to work with desktop radeons too(later, after u will finish porting it to IOFB), I can help with code for dumping bios from card over mmio (gives 100% fun speed issue sometimes, but still good for unposted card/etc)

Для Ole2

русский язык мне более понятен))))

 

суть такова. при установке драйвера ( а так как там их большое обилие не все *.kext устанавливал все по очереди) нашел более менее( чтоб курсор не превращался в полосочки)

 

-первый вопрос какой из всех лучше поставить ?( а то на выбор всего 4разрешения экрана и то два из них с 75Mhz мой монитор не держит на Packard Bell TN65 все плывет)

 

-Второй оставить ли кексты ATIRadeonX2000.kext ATIRadeonX2000GA.plugin? и надо ли в них править ID на свой

 

-Если EDID вписывать своего монитора то есть ли какая нибудь база( или как там называется ) по производителям( а то половину параметров я пока недопонял откуда брать)

 

-И заключительный вопрос там есть папка (при распаковке) RadeonHD.5(расширения кекст у нее нет, соответственно упаковать ее в кекст я не могу( точнее не знаю как и надо ли?) .Надо ли ее в Extensions закидывать(там в наборе English.lprog . IOKit(вот кстати куда ее пихать), RadeonDump.dSYM, RadeonHD.xcodeproj ,rhd, .DS_Store, Info.plist, IONDRV.h, RadeonDump, RadeonDump.c, RadeonDump.cpp, и т д про дампы памяти мне они в принципе не нужны не програмер пока (верно?). да и расширения у файлов больше похоже на нескомплиированый драйвер(тоже догадки от асма))))

 

 

 

P.S. Стринги я так понял лучше не прописывать к этим кекстам?(толку не будет , все повиснет) ну или у меня ручки кривые)))

 

 

 

Спасибо за ответ

There is nothing to prevent it from working for desktop card, just there is better choice for them. As for the bios dump code, if you mean the one from ATIFramebuffer, I already added it in current source. But it only works for cards later than RHD_R600.

Hi

I am using iDeneb 10.5.6 on a HP6910p with ATI Radeon X2300 (1002:7188)

I try to use the latest kext and get a kernel panic

the only log file I can see is the windowserver.log

what can be the problem? I managed to have the kext run sometimes, but usually not...

I removed ATINDRV.kext and ATIRadeonX1000,kext from the normal installation

dong, you are the MAN! This is my first post ever at this forum after a couple of weeks of reading various topics to get my laptop running, and looking at other posts, it seemed like people with X1400's were screwed; until you stepped up! I think I joined the OSx86 community at just the right time (when almost all issues for my clunky dell have been resolved).

 

The driver is works quite well out of the box (I never replaced the default EDID because various techiniques I tried failed to get the value for me... but there's a promising post right above me, so I might give it another try). I started with the iPC 10.5.6 distro, web-updated to 10.5.8, used the DSDT patcher (no additional mods to the DSDT, I'm a total noob) and after modifying the ATIX1000 kext with my device id/vendor id and then adding your RadeonHD kext I was able to get native 1680x1050 on my Dell E1505/6400. Interestingly though, the mouse cursor was showing up a if the arrow had exploded into million pieces and were floating in a 1"x1" area. Once I reverted the AppleACPIPlatform.kext to the patched 1.0.3 (from iPC 10.5.6) to get my powermanagement.bundle working, the cursor get somewhat normal.

 

I have 3 minor issues to report:

 

* I also get the skewed mouse cursor that you mentioned in your post, and may have some random info that might help you figure out the root cause: while trying to get the powermanagement.bundle that the iPC distro installed working again after the 10.5.8 update, I noticed that if I used the AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext that came with iPC 10.5.6 (version 59.0.1). the cursor appeared normal, but I had issues using the dell function key to dim and brighten the display. If I used the version that came with 10.5.8 update (version 76.2.0) the cursor appeared skewed, but the backlight dimming worked. Ofcourse I have no idea how these things are related, but perhaps it'll be of benefit to you.

 

* Computer goes to sleep (mouse disappears) when asked to or when lid is closed, but the display remains on. It's just the display.... seems like the backlight doesn't turn off. Any ideas?

 

* When I get to the login screen it's not 1680x1050; instead it's 1400x1050 stretched across the screen. This is likely a Chameleon issue (I have 1680x1050 in Boot.plist, but it still is starting at 1400x1050) and as soon as I login my desktop is the correct 1680x1050. Logging off also brings me to the correct 1680x1050 experience. It's just when I boot up.

 

Overall though, your work is outstanding, and I really appreciate the effort that liberated my video card. Much thanks!
