rominator Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 At this point, I think you only should see 3 connectors as that is all Apple driver supports. Things change in Lion, where each connector shows up separately. This board has been especially helpful recently so I thought I would add some useful info. As far as running a MDP from Apple on non-Apple cards I can tell you that problem comes from a design issue with earlier 5770 and 5870 cards. They work fine for DP but when adapted for MDP, they are No-Go. Circuit Assembley sells the adapters and they have a page on this on their site. I have tested many varieties of 5770 and 5870 cards and can tell you that MOST won't run the Apple MDP display. If you want a cheap (but somewhat loud) card that does this with ease, XFX has a single slot 5770 that runs Apple Display with ease. Sadly Newegg stopped carrying them recently. There is only 1 5870 I have run into that runs the Apple DIsplays, but with recent 6850/70 developments, you guys would be much better off just getting one of those. I am 99% certain that cards with native MDP will run Apple MDP displays just fine. No "secret signal", just a bad design from ATI. BTW, definitely NOT a software thing. The 5870 that worked could be flashed with earlier BIOS files and still run MDP. Using BIOS from working card on others didn't give them the magic either. Definitely a hardware thing. Here is 5770 that works: http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardw...lot-review.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notshy Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Anyone had a any luck with DVD player and/or Geekbench after installing the 10.6.7 MBP ATI kexts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Whoopee Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Does anyone know if there's a kext for the ATI Radeon 5770 to work on Leopard 10.5.6? My PC won't install Snow Leopard and I'm just going to use Leopard as my temporary solution until I can figure out if it's even possible. I don't think there is one but I guess it would be nice to just get double checked. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razor1394 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Sorry, I have no idea about the problem. Is there any sound assertion in kernel.log? I changed my format in sound-/MIDI settings to 8 channel 16bit from 24bit and I stopped getting those annoying sounds. Currently I don't find anything like you're describing in the logs. I updated recently to 10.6.7 and I had to reinstall the kext you provided because sound got lost. It works fine now again. Do you know if I need to get a more updated kext?

daskog Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Anyone know what driver/kext/injector method that produces the best result in speed etc? Do all methods produce the same result in terms of lets say cinebench speed. Mac drivers do really suck ass for GPU's Yuuuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fattire357 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I've spent many hours trying to get this working unsuccessfully. 1. Used Andy's BootCD to install vanilla 10.6 on P8P67 (modified ANVAL bootloader for this motherboard / Sandy Bridge chip) 2. + / - (tried both methods) installed his package that replaces ATISupport.kext, ATIFrameBuffer.kext 3. Install the ROM included on page 35, put it in /Extra 4. Tried installing the boot image on page 34, but this crashes with Andy's BootCD. Installed latest Chameleon package (Feb 2011), was able to boot with the boot image on page 34, but had a 1GHz processor (boo unmodified bootloader) and ATI drivers were still not loaded. I used graphicsenabler=yes and useatirom=yes 5. Tried using the Andy's modified ANVAL bootloader without changing the boot file and still didn't work. 6. I have to delete ATIRadeonX3000.kext since this will crash on startup. Any help? I'm kind of a n00b here but I'm learning fast. How necessary was the boot image you included on page 34? Anyway I can make it work with a sandy bridge-modified bootloader? thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vujke Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 that is my vanilla dsdt if any one need to read it How can noob like me edit those hexadecimal disk offsets, which I got using ati-personality.pl (masterpiece from bcc9) to get HDMI audio out on ATI HD 5670? Everything else is working perfect on my OS X with Uakari boot (from Kabyl's branche). My HDMI video out is full HD (1920 * 1080), only I get no sound on HDMI. Please anybody, give me some clue, key words, program or commands, I can change bytes in those offsets with. In other words I have a key, but I dont see the door! Thanks in advance!

blackoutfolo2 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Hello, I have an ATI HIS-5770 but unfortunately I can not get sound through HDMI. it has been 2 days since I try various manipulation without success: Patched DSDT.aml (besides, I understand very little) replace kext but nothing helped. I saw a configuration file hdmi.dsl but I do not know to use it. I tried to follow the topic but I'm still stuck. Please someone can it take a look at my file to see what DSDT.aml's wrong and possibly fix it for me. I'm really desperate. Sorry for my English Edit: I have not permission tu upload.

SamuB Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Hi to all the forums. I am owner of a Sapphire HD 5770 Vapor-X, but I have a problem after the first installation of Snow Leopard 10.6.6i by Hazard. The installation completes successfully, but the first reboot the monitor turns off going into standby mode and the headphones feel the music (think Rock:)) the problem and I can not do any operation. I tried several guides but with poor results ... could someone kindly tell me some way to solve this annoying problem? Thanks in advance Samu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Hello I have a small problem with my Gigabyte GV-R5770SL-1GD After i installed lion(10.7.2) I'm getting graphics error with some flicker randomly and blackout, or random color/lines Im using chameleon 2.1svn r1684 I tried with and without GraphicsEnabler and with and without ATI ROM etc. but no luck, it seems that it is most stable when GraphicsEnabler is off The system only recognize it as "ATI HD 5000 Series" (GE=off) or "ATI HD 5700 series" (GE=on) Have searched for a way to add the card to my DSDT but with no luck, can only find things on adding HDMI audio :/ Anyone have an idea or solution?

david_osx Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Hey guys, I've sapphire 5770 vapor-x 1g and installed lion 10.7.2 with iaktos L2 10.7.2 I'm still trying to get my gpu to work properly but so far nothing.. How can I install this dev and make it work like in this image.. http://piclair.com/jt4f7 Please can someone make a standard install guide for 5770 that works in general for 10.7.2 or 10.6.8 without having to read through the hole thread Is dsdt the best way now days to get stuff working permanently or dose that effect the gpu in a bad way.. if not please post a proper guide here. I've asus p5w dh deleux.. Please guys help me out I've straggled with this for 2 weeks now.. with latest chameleon 2.1svn.r1768 I only get proper info in about mac.. I'm more interested in a smooth lion os like having the bump in safari when scrolling through pages etc.. btw safari is very slow like hell with only graphic enabler on.. Well I've dvd player working when i start it not that I've played any dvd movie with it so i would know and sure in dashboard widgets adds nicely but i've very hacky safari and no bump or smooth movement in any thing that dose websites.. This how the system looks like today... graphic info http://piclair.com/n1zso pci cards info http://piclair.com/9ayvd p.s dose smbios version like mac pro 5 or iMac 11.2 for example has any effect on the gpu function with chameleon loader etc or not that important if the card is properly installed.. Please guys just post a complete dsdt guide for sapphire 5770 vapor -x so I can finally install it properly before i damage the gpu in long term use..
