ytrox Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 After trying a lot of kext's combinations i've find a solution with my ati card. I'm not sure what i've did, but i think i have put atiframebuffer and atisupport of 10.6.3, my old ati4800controller (it was necessary for work on my 10.6.3 update, view netkas..), atiradeonx2000 (10.6.3 exotic patch...) and the rest untouched... ah, another file is necessary, the legacyati4800.kext controller in extra/ext (still view netkas!!) my package 10.6.4_ati_4890_ytrox.zip 10.6.7 framebuffer Patched for DP support ATIFramebuffer.kext.zip Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/221764-ati-4890-1064-solution-founded/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

The solution you are pointing to does not work for me. The xext provided by ytrox works great for me. Thank you YTROX. My machine runs the 64 bit 10.4 kernel and I have 4890 ATI card. So my two monitors work with max resolution and qe and ci - enabled. Just curious, where did you get the kexts from? Cheers !!! Oh, and I did not use the legacyati4800.kext Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/221764-ati-4890-1064-solution-founded/#findComment-1493798 Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybercap Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 thanks ytrox, i'll try your package. My goal would be to achieve 10-bit support on my Eizo CG243W via displayport, to be used in CS5 and other apps. In theory it IS possible, it was achieved with a radeon 4870 for mac . The catalyst control center seems to be needed, i guess your package doesn't enable that, only bare support via kext. maybe the 4870 mac "drivers" could be used and then changing the device-ID or so ? Do you have any guess if such a thing is possible ?

ytrox Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 Graphics Update 1.0 causes black screen with my ati 4890. I suggest to backup kexts from 10.6.4 and reinstall them (kext helper etc.) just after update (do not reboot). It's absolutely, at my advice, unnecessary this update.

It doesn't works on 10.6.6, also 10.6.5. It works on 10.6.2 and 10.6.3 only with 10.6.2 framebuffer (netkas said that when 10.6.3 update was coming out). It seems that since 10.6.3 the dp support has been removed. I will try your kexts as soon as possible on 10.6.6. ADC monitor will not work with dp adaptor (too adaptors!)
