ATI Radeon Mobility x1400 Working with full resolution and QE/CI Enabled

[shakeythedigger]

Thanks Man. Happy Day now!!! Full Resolution now on 10.6.2. Can update normal from 10.6.2 to 10.6.3? And then install 10.6.3 Kexts?

 

 

Dell Inspiron E1505/6400

Ati Mobility x1400 (Full Resolution 1280x800) QE / CI Enabled without Mouse tearing (Perfect!!!)

Snow Leopard 10.6.2 Client/Server by Hazard

Core 2 Duo

@ Elvisv, I have the exact same system, any chance of you uploading the Kexts?

[imrazor]

SL-Server Kextfiles!!! Now i have a fully working X1400mobility on an Snowleopard Retail 10.6.2

 

I have the same Problem with snowleopard - no QE / CI.

I have full resolution, can change resolution, but cannot make screenshots.

 

*************************************************************

 

Now i have a fully working X1400mobility on an Snowleopard Retail 10.6.2

QE / CI working and OpenGL working. FrontRow works. Screensaver works. Screenshots works.

 

Here my KextPackage.

Spo´s Lenovo R60 kext Package

 

Important kextfiles:RadeonHD.kext, ATIX1400Radeon.kext, ATISupport.kext

Thanks! I originally tried this with my own EDID - I couldn't find SoftMCCS so I used xrandr under Linux. I got QE/CI, but had problems with cursor corruption, esp. when viewing full screen video. I then tried your R60 kexts on my T60 and it works almost perfectly. I have a wide range of resolutions available (never had that before!). The only fly in the ointment is that DVD Player doesn't work, but there are other options that do. Sleep, as always, is a no go.

 

Thanks again!

its my 3rd re-installing snow leopard, for this. All of them, i got nothing!

 

I believe that i do everything correctly, but i dont know why it doesnt work. My device is dell inspiron 6400 c282.

After i created kext files, firstly i install ATıx1000 kext, then repair permissions on disk utility and when restart, i cant open the computer. I got stuck on apple logo, screen blinded 1 times, and loading stopped, sometimes mouse cursor appear and lost, thats all. I cant open so i cant install my 2nd kext file.

When i edit first kext, install it, it crashes my comptuer. (iatkos s3 snow leopard)

 

How can i fix it?

 

and my 2nd question. Can i install a ready kext which u created before? will it work on my pc?

first try this, worked for me..

 

I have mine working properly, still working on other issues though. I used the ATIRadeonX1000.kext from the first post in http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...196083&st=0

and went to the thread linked in post #48, http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=190586 but I then edited my EDID into the latest RadeonHD.kext (I put it in the same place that it was in the RadeonHD.kext from the first post, followed instructions (repairing permissions, etc after each kext) and everything appears to be working including Front Row!

It may help if you use a disk such as the EmpireEFI disk to boot when you reboot..

 

It appears you must get your own EDID, I am finding it different on similar systems

 

second yes you can install other people's kexts, as long as it is for a similar system of course, I only caution you that if you make a custom RadeonHD that you use your own EDID....

caution, I am a newb, but these have been my experiences so far, hope it helps

[fallcotts]

I've checked a lot of posts in numerous forums for a T60 X1300 Mobility solution.

Actually I tried to installed the Snow Leopard 3 times with no success of QE/CI

My original resolution is just 1024*768 so I didn't pay a lot attention on this issue.

Therefore in ATIRadeonX1000.kext I've also tried adding DevID "7149" but still no QE/CI effect.

Anything I can do, any ideas ?

Thanks

[robi62]

Big Thanks michael

 

with your kext my dell 6400 ati x1400 fully working on snow leopard 64bit

 

frontrow is OK, only games I cannot play

 

 

hi I cannot get it to work i am stuck on 1024 x 768 on my dell 6400 snow 10.6.3

 

any ideas?????

[michaspoli]

Maybe a permission Problem. Did you enter your EDID?

 

YOu should have installed "pfix" from sojugarden.

http://osx86.sojugarden.com/2010/06/pfix-v3-1-released/

 

The Snowleopard Cache is more Tricky.

 

Delete all Graphics-kext files, Copy the files from 10.6.3 kextpackage, change the EDID, start pfix from terminal as root, reboot and hope.

 

 

 

Kextpackage for 10.6.3 in my Signature.

[eboz]

I cant get the ati1000 kext working. I have tried a few and it still does not work. My laptop specs are Dell Insiron 6400 running chamelon rc4. I have everything working but my ati x1400. Installed it 7145 in place and still nothing.

 

What should I try to troubleshoot?

 

Thanks

Attached is my kextstat. The radeonhd loaded is the one you gave me. I just cant figure this one out. No kp at all just no qe/ci.

 

Thanks for all the help

hi what I have seen differnet in your kext is IONDRVSupport.kext and IOGraphicsFamily.kext you have version 2.1 and on mine i have version 2 maybe those could be responsable for not having qe ce????

 

try to install previous one

kexts.zip

 

 

let me know

 

here is my kextstat b4 I did graphics update for which i had to reinstall ati support kext which I gave you

kextb4graphics.rtf

[Whogie]

Finally got it running at 1680x1050! Took me a while to realize, but my driver pack, [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url], added a Graphic Enabler = Yes flag to my com.apple.Boot.plist which was nullifying any changes I had been making.

 

I ended up using elvisv's method, so thanks to everyone who helped lead up to that. I cannot tell, however, if QE/CI works, since it's simply not listed, neither yes or no.

 

Edit: Either the security or graphics update added graphics corruption.

maybe chamelon rc4 does not work well as it has graphics enabler I am using rc 1 and working fine maybe that is the problem.....
