Hello,

It's hard to tell… maybe the EDID doesn't match your panel exactly. You see, EDID doesn't depend on the graphics card, but on the panel. If the EDID you entered doesn't match exactly your panel it may lead to unexpected behaviour.

 

You should try to get your own EDID from a linux live CD with read-edid. IMO it's more reliable than some EDID grabbed from another laptop.

 

What happen if you boot in verbose mode (-v a boot prompt) ? Do you see the panic message (with a lot of numbers and stuff) ? A picture of it would help for debug, particularly to know if it actually comes from RadeonHD or something else, and witch function causes panic.

Does it always enter GUI when debug mode is on (see plist file) ?

Does it work with an empty EDID value ?

 

Do you still use an Injector (ATY_Init, ATILead, ATIinject, ATYinject, Natit…) or gfx string, or DSDT patching ?

Did you remove ATIRadeonX2000 kexts ?

 

Could you post the result of RadeonDump (when you enter GUI, and in a code box please)?

Go to System/Library/Extensions/RadeonHD.kext, right click-->show package contents-->info.plist

 

open it, find for:

 

<key>enableHWCursor</key>

<true/>

 

 

and change it to <false/>

 

save...fix permission and reboot

 

it should works :(

 

OBS: note that you can't edid any plist in the extensions folder you have to copy the info.plist do your desktop edit and replace de other existing in System/Library/Extensions/RadeonHD.kext

 

i dont think it worked....

 

the first time i did it i thought i messed it up, but i reinstalled leopard and tried it again and it did the same thing as last time

 

my computer just boots to that apple logo and just sits there..

 

any idea on what i did wrong??? any way to fix it???

Did you remove the ATIRadeonX2000.kext?? If you havent then thats whats probably causing your pc to hang...

 

boot into safe mode...it will bypass the RadeonHD.kext...so the pc wont hang at the apple :(

use flags

-v -x at startup

 

remove the ATIRadeonX2000.kext

remove System/library/extensions.mkext

 

reboot

 

you will get res change...but no Q/E

 

also remember to change the info.plist as advised by dong...

 

thanks

But I can't play dvd or vdo file.

when I open dvd player. it says:

 

"a valid video device could not be found to play back. (-70017)"

 

How can I fix this? :)

and one more thing...

 

do i have to boot into safe mod, or could i just use another operating system to edit the files?

 

i put the leopard hard drive in a enclosure and made it a external hard drive. when i plug it into windows it wouldnt even detect the hard drive, but when i plugged it into linux, it detected it.

 

will this mess up anything if i fix it this way?

Anyone pleeeeaaase I need help!!

 

I've been trying to change the resolution for ages now and I saw this thread with all the people saying it's worked for them...

 

I have an ATI Radeon HD Sapphire 4350, and my monitor's native resolution is 1366x768. I tried installing this kext, and I removed natit.kext, ATIRadeonX2000.kext and all the other ATI kexts, then removed extensions.mkext and rebooted...but nothing happened!!! Still 1024x768 only with no other options!!

 

What am I doing wrong?? Please help me!!!!

 

This shows up in the system.log if that can help:

Ok I followed pegasys's guide (which is great and easy to follow by the way), but I think something's wrong with my machine, because there's still no effect whatsoever!!! I mean, even installing or uninstalling radeonhd.kext doesn't do anything, bad or good. And after getting my device's EDID from windows and pasting that in info.plist inside the kext and everything, it still doesn't work!!

 

I'm using kexthelper to install the kext, can that be the problem??

 

Or could there for example be another kext I'm missing which this one depends on? Or one I should remove??

 

Note: I'm still getting the same output I pasted above in system.log.

Another note: I can see the radeonhd kext loaded normally in system profiler.

 

Please heeeeeelp!!!! :(

Is it a Mobility card ? What kind of connector are you using (internal LVDS, DVI, VGA, HDMI) ? Did you try with another connector ?

It says it sees the "Uniphy" connector but don't detect a display, have tried with another display ?

 

Surely Dong can answer that: are desktop card supported by RadeonHD? I think it was first intended for mobility with LVDS connectors but can't be sure about that.

Ok it seems I'm going to have to wait till I get snow leopard!! :rolleyes:

 

So why won't this kext work for desktop cards? Is there any chance you can support for them dong?

 

I tried with another display but I'm still not getting anything!!

Try run linux with open source RadeonHD driver to see whether it work or not. Your card may need a quirk table entry.

It is working on Amilo Sa 3650 with ATI HD 3200, But the cursor problem is the same.

It is working the same on iAtkos 10.5.7 and 10.6.2.

 

Thanks for the Kext, Hoping to get better.

 

 

 

I have the same problem on HD 3200, I tried changing "enableHWCursor" but it came back to original after reboot (Kext is there but resolution is 1024 x 768).

Can you tell me exactly how to solve this.

 

I discovered the problem, I am using Snow and Atkos on two partitions so if I edited one of them the other will be effected. So I installed only Snow And it is Ok.

I have another question: I am using Laptop Fujitsu Amilo SA 3650 with ATI HD 3200 Internal, but with this laptop there is an External booster as in http://ts.fujitsu.com/home/products/notebo...ic_booster.html

this graphic booster is ATI HD 3780

Is there any suggestion to get the external one works?

Thanks in advance.

I just downloaded the newest version of RadeonHD.kext and I have to say I like what I'm seeing (admittedly the skewed hardware cursor is annoying but whatever). I especially like it because it handles screen dimming on my laptop properly where as the ATIinject method would sort of turn half the screen off and dim the other half.

 

The last bit that is making me keep ATIinject around (switching at single usermode depending on need) is the ability for dual monitors. I'm on a Lenovo t60p with the ATI Mobility x1700/FireGL v5250 card. It took me awhile but I can at least get the laptops VGA output working with ATIinject, unfortunately not the DVI connector on my docking station which stays blank. Now with RadeonHD I do get some output on the external display but it's just a solid color and in System Profiler I do not have any external displays listed.

 

Am I missing something in getting this to work? I'm more then willing to help out with development though I'm not familiar with the development environment on OSX (previously linux fanboy here).

i am still a noob at this whole leopard thing, what is Q/E?

 

 

 

and one more thing...

will this mess up anything if i fix it this way?

 

you can boot into safe mode....it will bypass almost all the drivers...so u can remove the defected and make further changes

 

i dont think it would cause any problems if u were using a USB drive....but keep in mind that the apple filesystem is hidden in windows so u wont be able to see a mac os extended drive on windows...

 

Q/E= Quartz Extreme: its essential for most of the mac applications to run

 

Mac OS X v10.2 introduced Quartz Extreme: graphics processor (GPU) acceleration for the Quartz Compositor. With Quartz Extreme, no central processor (CPU) cycles are utilized for scene composition. Quartz Compositor runs using the graphics processor (GPU) by encapsulating each rendered backing store in an OpenGL texture map or surface. The GPU then composes the surfaces and maps to provide the final image, which is delivered to its frame buffer.

 

 

if u want more info...google is your mommy...;)

My friend has the Ati Radeon 4670 mobility and wen i install the driver (brilliant work dong) it just reboots with a grey screen flickering White Sometimes. Im sorry i cant get you a dump but i was thinking..

 

Since the new imac 27 inch uses the Ati 4760 mobility can we use that driver and edit it for laptops ? ;)

 

Thanks

Thanx !

 

I finally made this work on my IBM Lenovo T60 with Ati X1400 Mobility. I tried most combinations without any luck, then I used the 10/12 10.5 with Atom support witch gave me native res without QE. But when adding my vendor ID to the atiradeonx1000.kext the boot screen just froze. So here is what I did to resolve it.

 

1: Boot into safe mode.

2. Remove Radeonhd.kext

3. Remove Atiradeonx1000.kext

4. Repair disk from disk utils.

5. Reboot. (into regular mode)

6. Install your original atiradeonx1000.kext and repair disk using disk utils. (or use mine)

7. Reboot.

8. Install the Radeonhd.kext and repair disk using disk util.

9. Reboot.

 

You should now have 1680X1050 res. (or your native res. depending on your card) with QE. You will still need to use mouse locator as the mouse tearing problem is still there ...

 

I have attached my kexts so feel free to try them out and see if they work for you. I have included my EDID as well, but I don not know if this defers from computer to computer .... so you might have to make your own and then edit the radeonhd.kext replacing the EDID. There is a PDF included that describes how to do this.

 

Edit: Removing the atireadon2000.kext seems to solve the problem that the card does not show as Ati radeon hd mobility :-)
