Mobility Radeon - 10.6.6/7 guide for QE/CI - testing 10.7

[mojtabazarei]

I've this values when I don't have any display connected in a port. For example now I don't have connected the HDMI cable and I've these values for that port.

 

 

 

This is a good question. When I try to inject a personality that is not in ATI4600Controller it is named ATY,ATY,RadeonFramebuffer.

 

About 10.6.7. I haven't updated yet. What happens? Is there 2 packs of ATI kext? Standard and MBP 2011 that are like Lion's?

 

 

so what about this what are useful info from this part

 

ATY,ATY,RadeonFramebuffer@1  <class AtiFbStub, id 0x100000346, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (13 ms), retain 7>

and what is Megalodon personality in 10.6.7 MBP 2011 or lion i cant find it in the forum !!!!

What is supposed to be this? lvds, vga, hdmi? It's yours or from a mbp?

[mojtabazarei]

What is supposed to be this? lvds, vga, hdmi? It's yours or from a mbp?

 

 

Hi wow i found it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!yes

 

 

 

 

for 5000 series we have 4 kexts AtIx3000 ,ati support .ati framebuffer ,ati 5000 controller

 

installed ati support .ati framebuffer ,ati 5000 controller from lion (same as 2011 MBP) and used kabyl boot loader with Megalodon FB

 

now it recognize LG T710pu fully as you see in ioreg not tested HDMI dont have HDMI TV or monitor but LVDS doesn't work

 

 

now i need help need the personality Megalodon can you help please i think with editing that i can get LVDS working fully

 

 

@ atlee & checco

 

please test this with your 5650 5730 and 5650 are similar

[atlee]

please test this with your 5650 5730 and 5650 are similar

 

It's not Megalodon!, Try booting with ATIConfig=RadeonFramebuffer, this will work too, Or ATIConfig=Kipunji, this will also work, But it will always use ATY,RadeonFramebuffer.

[mojtabazarei]

so what should we do ? you mean that we dont have Megalodon !!!!!!

 

 

on that ioreg info i didn't use any FB i used chameleon r747 and just set Graphic Enabler=yes in plist

 

but today i saw the megalodon in ioreg and tried to use this FB with kabyl and it worked !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you are doing GraphicsEnabler=Yes whatever Chameleon version you are using, Has Megalodon built into the code.

 

I will be creating a DSDT injection, The new ATY,RadeonFramebuffer I get VGA QE/CI but no LVDS, Haven't tested HDMI.

This is a auto framebuffer so figuring out how we would manually change the config is a hard one at this stage unless someone else figures it out, You can still try and change Uakari or Vervet etc but maybe this new FB which auto handles the cards is better? not sure yet.

all of the day i was testing on your uakari nothing what about you?

MY SYSTEM IS LEOHAZARD 10.6.6i

 

(I TRIED IATKOS 10.6.3 THEN UPDATED TO 10.6.6 IT BUT IT DOESN'T WORK)

 

 

N.B: reference to kizwan thread about Dell 1557 and this thread of ATI mobility

 

1. download this ATI kexts from lion (http://www.mediafire.com/?p7kgtuv3eys60ur)

after download it put your id to ati4600controller.kext

 

don't copy atix2000.kext i kept the original one.

 

after repair permission reboot then you'll get wrong colors but everything will work(qe/ci and resolution).

 

 

2. download this boot(http://prasys.info/2010/07/empireefi-1-085-for-osx-10-6-3-is-out/) choose the one with ati

 

you'll get boot and legacy boot after unzip.

 

burn legacy boot to cd and then boot from it.

 

you'll get the screen half working and half not, try to change the resolution to 1280*768 72HZ

 

 

3.download switchRex and add custom resolution (1366*768, pixel clock 75)

save it and reboot from legacy boot CD

 

finally everything working fine with all resolutions

Hi, tried to boot with this method, got nice resolution on both lvds and vga, but no QE/CI. I think that I was running the system with radeonHD kext instead of atiframebuffer. Usb ports not working, and only one processor was detected

 

@kizwan: The strange thing is that I've got 1440x900 resolution also on my internal lvds, I never had bigger resolutions than 1366x768...

be sure that you downloaded the lion's kexts and put your id in ati4600controller and copy all kexts except atiX2000 keep the original one

 

before you boot from the cd, try to boot normally and make sure that everything working BUT with wrong colors

then boot from cd

 

N.B i tried this method on iAtkos 10.6.3 then i updated it to 10.6.6 and applied the above method but i just got the resolution fixed

 

so try it on Leohazard 10.6.6i

[wmarsh]

I have managed to modify and connect 10.7 kexts using Flicker. Consequently I have put my DSDT project on hold as the whole point was to connect with the Lion kexts. Ioreg is attached. The colors are messed up. QE/CI does not work as I get black screen with Front Row and cannot start Beach screensaver. Maybe it will with less preliminary kexts.

 

QE/CI does work if you combine these with 10.6.6 ATIRadeonX2000.kext, as DonKurdi did. Its a Frankenstein, but its the best I've got so far. Colors are strange still.

 

For those interested:

Lion ATI4600Controller has 3 Framebuffers:

Flicker at offset 74378 and 1ff10

Shrike at offset 743f8 and 1ff70

Gliff at 743a8 and 1ff40

 

I went looking for Peregrine -- it seems to be removed.

 

Lion ATI4800Controller has 3 Framebuffers:

Cardinal at offset 71338 and 1ef30

Motmot at offset 71358 and 1ef50

Quail at 71378 and 1ef70

 

I also patched a test 10.6.3 system, as mucha figured out the byte I was confused by. (It was pretty obvious in retrospect)

Once patched correctly, the system starts without KP; however, ATIFramebuffer has unresolved symbols related to screen timing. I think this was incomplete when released and is not worth putting more time into.

 

Still no progress on the hazy white lines unfortunately.

[sydlix]

To me the reason why me and people having hi res LVDS displays on their laptops ain't got it working is that we are missing some settings with the ati injector, being it trunk or kabyl. I mean that I am using the right values into the framebuffer, 10.6.6/10.7 kexts and still getting everything but LVDS, that's black with backlight on. It would be useful to talk with someone that knows how the injector works and how to modify it accordingly.

[KUGLee]

Does anybody else have color depth issue? I've tried color calibration with no success.

[wmarsh]

Does anybody else have color depth issue? I've tried color calibration with no success.

Yes, at this point it seems if you have display exceeding WXGA you have color/haze/interference issues

 

I think the aty_config settings may be helpful, but I have not found documentation.

[KUGLee]

Yes, at this point it seems if you have display exceeding WXGA you have color/haze/interference issues

 

I only have WXGA.

[pepito1]

And can it be "ported" to ATi Mobility Radeon HD 3xxx? It would be great to see my 3430 card with QE/CI.

Well, pepito, you can be my hero and be the 1st to do so.

3xxx is much better documented, so I would think you will have an easier time.

 

1st get your radeondump info and your Xorg.0.log.

 

I have all the offsets figured for the 10.6.6/7 Framebuffers, and will be glad to share if you tell me which one you want to use.

[wmarsh]

Don't need to.

Get your radeondump and dmesg or Xorg.0.log. We can figure it out together.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand anything. I'm a noob, but if you explain me clearly what you need, I'll give it to you.

[foxzz]

and the VGA not works

 

the 34xx chips

the LVTMA

the right FB

 

this is the problem now I have, who can hlep me figure out the resolution？

[wmarsh]

please help me to enable QE/CI on a dell 1535 with a ATI 3450M card

It looks like you do your homework well

 

5 Thoughts:

1) What bootloader are you using? I had to download Chameleon Trunk, modify ati.c, and recompile to get it to work.

Type "GraphicsEnabler"="y" at bootup. Remember Chameleon ignores com.apple.Boot.plist in /Extra if the partition is not set active.

 

2) You might try different FB. Not all work the same. For your controller, Megalodon and Triakis are the two in the Lion kext, so they are probably best choices.

 

3) Try different encoder values. I find the documentation excellent for everything else -- especially the ConnectorType and ControlFlags which you already tried changing. But for me the encoder that should work did not. The two possibilities are 00 and 01.

 

4) The 2nd digit of Transmitter is probably correct, but you could be using only 1 link, as the HDMI might use the other. Again the documentation here is sketchy. Try changing the 1st digit to 1 or 2 -- ie transmitter 10 or 10 instead of 00.

 

5) Like me, you have a 1400x900 display. This is at present an unsolved problem. Mine works, QE works, but there is interference -- white lines -- I do not know from where. We can keep working on this together once you have everything else functional.

[pepito1]

Will there be an easy way to have QE/CI working, like just installing a .kext?

[wmarsh]

Will there be an easy way to have QE/CI working, like just installing a .kext?

Once we have a modified kext that would work, yes.

Since no other 3xxx people have volunteered, you have the opportunity to be 1st.

 

Thats why they call it "the bleeding edge"

00 04 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 71 00 00 12 04 04 00 - DP not sure if works
02 00 00 00 14 00 00 00 00 71 00 00 11 02 01 07 - shows as CRT but works, change to 40 and it will not work properly, you will lose extended and it will force cloning also.
10 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 00 71 00 00 00 00 06 08 - shows as CRT, working as extended, can also do mirror if i wish.
00 08 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 71 00 00 20 01 05 01 - Still changing around, combos 22,05/02,04/12,04/21,03/20,01 do not work.

 

I have LVDS as CRT, cannot get it to change it's name no matter what i do. VGA as CRT. DP cannot test. Might try swapping HDMI to either 01,02/11,02 as they are the last combos left, don't have access to that monitor as my wife is still awake

 

And yes i have tested booting without the VGA plugged in, LVDS switches res and turns on. VGA switch on and off when plugging in and out so the behavior seems ok to me.

 

If you change the LVDS T/E sometimes you lose the Extended desktop and it will force cloning, So i have kept it on something that works. default also works. but i was playing around to see what i could do.

 

Don't know if i'm right but i'm enjoying the results i'm getting now anyway.

 

Also note i do not really consider DP port of any use so i will not intend to play around and fix it, as it is not a requirement for me.

 

atlee i changed the line 3

 

10 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 00 71 00 00 00 00 06 08

 

08 to 01(my sense id for vga ) my LGT710PU now recognized fully in system profiler but LVDS doesn't work it recognized as svga and black screen dont have HDMI monitor to test

 

now see the two ioreg

 

1st. when i just set Graphic Enabeler =yes in plist :

 

 

 

-o ATY,ATY,RadeonFramebuffer@1  <class AtiFbStub, id 0x100000346, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (13 ms), retain 7>
| |   |   | | | {
| |   |   | | |   "display-type" = "CRT"
| |   |   | | |   "compatible" = <"ATY,Megalodon">
| |   |   | | |   "connector-type" = 16
| |   |   | | |   "ATY,ActiveFlags" = 16
| |   |   | | |   "IOFBDependentIndex" = 1
| |   |   | | |   "IOFBDependentID" = 117486592
| |   |   | | |   "device_type" = "display"
| |   |   | | |   "VRAM,memsize" = <0000000000000010>
| |   |   | | |   "AAPL,gray-page" = <01000000>

| |   |   | | |   "name" = "ATY,ATY,RadeonFramebuffer"
| |   |   | | |   "port-number" = 2

 

2nd : when i edited Uakari and used that :

 

 

+-o ATY,Uakari@0  <class AtiFbStub, id 0x100000345, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (432 ms), retain 7>
| |   |   | | | {
| |   |   | | |   "port-number" = 2
| |   |   | | |   "display-type" = "CRT"
| |   |   | | |   "connector-type" = 16
| |   |   | | |   "ATY,ActiveFlags" = 16
| |   |   | | |   "IOFBDependentIndex" = 0
| |   |   | | |   "IOFBDependentID" = 117276800
| |   |   | | |   "ATY,ControlFlags" = 16
| |   |   | | |   "AAPL,gray-page" = <01000000>
| |   |   | | |   "device_type" = "display"
| |   |   | | |   "av-signal-type" = 1
| |   |   | | |   "AAPL,iokit-ndrv" = <8002b95e>
| |   |   | | |   "AAPL,gray-value" = <c38c6400>
| |   |   | | |   "display-connect-flags" = <00000000>
| |   |   | | |   "name" = "ATY,Uakari"
| |   |   | | |   "AAPL,boot-display" = <01000000>
