Thanks, but with

martuzkis-mac:vbios Martuzki$ ./radeon_bios_decode < 1002_9553.rom > connector.txt

The Connector.txt is empty :(

 

And...

bash-3.2# ./Radeon_bios_decode > 1002_9553.rom

Takes a while?!

./radeon_bios_decode <  1002_9553.rom

 

tryed that with his (martzukis) and get following out of it 

rhdAtomGetDataTable: No AtomBios signature found

 

seems to me his rom file is corrupted somehow

Maybe... but how can i get a working one? :)

The only one i can get:

Hello bcc9,

 

I tried the kabyl bootloader from download link and svn, using AtiConfig with "Baboon" and "Eulemur" personality on OSX 10.6.7.

I have a HD4650 1GB with id 1002/9498. I tried it with 10.6.6 ATi kexts and 10.6.7 ones. The card has 1x HDMI and 1x DVI.

The display always remains black, on HDMI and also on DVI. What do I am missing?

BTW. where can I find a binary of radeondump?

Its now called radeon_bios_decode, check attachments in the first post.

Thanks for this info.

 

EDIT: Dumped bios with GPUZ, here is my info. Strangely the bios supports 4 outs while the card has only 2.

I tried "Baboon" and "Eulemur", because these have 1 hmdi and one dvi at pos 1 and 2.

But I have to choose a personality that reflects the order and types as in my bios?

 

EDIT: What bytes reflect a VGA connector?

 

EDIT2: I only want to fully enable HDMI, until now my patched ATI* are unable to wakeup the HDMI (and DVI) monitor after sleep or resolution change.

Radeon_bios_dump shows 4 connector entries, but the two DVI ports are obviously just a dual-link DVI port. You can see this because the senseid value is the same for both ports.

 

 

But I have to choose a personality that reflects the order and types as in my bios?
I don't believe order matters (other than when the connector count exceeds the count set by chameleon). It's the senseid, connector type, and encoder info you need to focus on.

Personality: Peregrine
ConnectorInfo count in decimal: 2
Disk offset in decimal 69472
0000000	00  02  00  00  04  02  00  00  00  00  00  00  02  01  04  05

Ok, thanks for info. I understand that the column at pos 0xf is the sense id. What are bytes from pos 0x2 until 0xe then? Where do I have to write encoder value, and what are the encoder values of my hdmi & dvi of my bios? Are these 0x20 and 0x15?

 

I changed the first line now to:

00 08 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 22 05 05 05

EDIT: Doesn't work. Black screen only.

 

BTW. my problem is also that the display remains black if I change the resolution. Do you think this could be also caused by a wrong connector type?

Wow, that's detailed info by mucha :(

 

My card has 1 x HDMI and 1 x DVI (don't need duallink). So I came to these values. What do you think:

00 08 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 11 00 00 05
04 00 00 00 14 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 10 01 01 01

 

EDIT: HDMI output now looks like this:

post-39386-1304508953_thumb.jpg

But better than just black :)

 

EDIT 2: Also with RadeonHD.kext by Dong the screen looks like this. If I disable graphicsenabler, the boot log will stop.

 

EDIT 3: The hdmi output works with a hacked ATI*.kext-set with connectortyoe 0x200 and controlflags 0x204. Only resolution change / wakeup doesnt work. Does this mean that the hdmi output of the card is actually a DVI port?

I have a question. is there a defined unique framebuffer personalitie for every card or is there a few generic that all cards fall under i say few but like a defined number say for examle.

 

Type A LVDS +DV1 +VGA (set ports set Encoder / Connector )

ext link a list

type B

Type C

 

Or are all cards unique in there conector info. no 2 cards are the same

HI, I'm trying to add dp and hdmi output to my ati 4890. after some test my result is that I can hotplug my dp cable so my second monitor is detected but black. I've changed framebuffer from motmot to flicker on 10.6.7 cause I'm also trying to activate hdmi port (motmot can't do this).

here there are my connectors

10.6.2 framebuffer has native dp support but latest bootloaders seem are getting less and less compatible.don't ask me why. however I will also try to use hdmi port so I need newest framebuffers. any help is really appreciated :huh:

I,m also tryng to extract connectorinfo from 10.6.2 framebuffer, but I personalyty script doesn't work. all framebuffer are signed to 0. maybe because are 20 byte long and not 10?

 

Ex:

Personality: Uakari

ConnectorInfo count in decimal: 0

Personality: Megalodon

ConnectorInfo count in decimal: 0

I've found a solution to get dp and dvi ports active together for my ati ''4890 sapphire new edition'' on 10.6.7:

at

Personality: MotMot

ConnectorInfo count in decimal: 2

Disk offset in decimal 69024

0000000 00 04 00 00 04 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 10 00 02 03

0000010 04 00 00 00 14 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 01 11 01 04

0000020

i have changed the hotplugID of dp port from 0x02 to 0x03. sometimes the dp monitor appears garbled, remove and reconnect the cable and it works just fine. no hdmi I think there is no support.

Yes, per this post:

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1658305

the connectorinfo structure changed in length as of 10.6.4. I don't plan on trying to add support for versions of OSX older than that.

 

I'll add this info to post #1.

ok so following the instructions and looking at my dumps

0001c5c4 ret

0001c5c5 nop

 

2. otool -arch i386 -l ATI5000controller

 

Find the section whose address+size includes the above virtual address within its range (0x10)

 

3. So the address on disk for this virtual address is:

offset_in_file = start_offset_for_architecture + offset_for_segment + virtual_address - start_address_for_segment

 

where start_offset_for_architecture as reported by lipo above

start_address_for_segment, offset_for_segment as reported by otool above

virtual_address is the address obtained from the addl instruction.

 

Numerically, the address on disk is:

Think of personality meaning board layout.

For a particular ATI chip, there are many board layouts (ATI's reference designs, sapphire's, XFX's, Apple's). The "personalities" in the driver represent board layouts apple ships. Some of these layouts may or may not exactly match any desktop card (for example apple imac layouts with LVDS displayport).

 

Several card models share identical layouts.

More than 1 apple layout may be a close enough match to your card that you have multiple personality choices.

ati-personality.pl does the math for you, as of version 0.5 back on 3/26. I updated the instructions in post #1 to reflect as much around that time. You seem to be working off of older info from somewhere?

 

You can still manually do the math following the finding-patch-address.txt for details, and using my perl script to compare against if you get stuck.

yea when i wrote that i was trying to grasp how port dection works in the kexts .... still not totaly sure anyone actualy understands how the ports are dected from start to finish and why the ports are not mapping correctly altho my understanding is not the best now im trying to get up to speed on how to hack them .... needless to say i take 2 steps foward and 3 back it seems i think im starting to understand then i am WTF all over again... eventualy im hopeing to fully understand the atisupport.kext and the individual framebuffers and how they play there parts ... sorry for the ramble

The latest version is in post #1, version 0.6.

Per post #1:

"finding-patch-address.txt in the attached zip file for instructions if you wish to calculate the effective address & disk address yourself by hand."

record type 4

 

 

I allready tried this (Peregrine):

 

02 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 09 01 00 00 12 00 01 02 LVDS
10 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 10 00 01 VGA

 

But when i Boot it i got a Screen wich backlight is off ;)

 

I have a ATI 4570 Mobility (0x10029553)

 

Can someone help me?

 

EDIT: KExt loaded:

ATIFramebuffer.kext

ATIRadeonX2000.kext

ATI4600Controller.kext

ATISupport.kext

 

Aviable Res:

800x600

1024x768

1280x1024

1680x1050

 

Graka will be detected but no Screens/Outputs are working

 

EDIT2: With LionKexts i can use both Displays (VGA, Internal) with the right res. but no QE/CI and on the Internal Screen there are Crazy colours and a "nervous" screen

Silly question but I can't find the 64 bit Vervet table in the ATIFrambuffer.

 

I can see the output in ati personality:

 

Personality: Vervet - 64 bit

ConnectorInfo count in decimal: 4

Disk offset in decimal 80000

0000000 00 04 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 01 00 00 12 04 04 02

0000010 04 00 00 00 14 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 01 12 01 04

0000020 00 02 00 00 14 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 06 03

0000030 00 08 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 22 05 05 01

0000040

 

 

The offset of 80000 = 0x13880

I look on that row using HexEditor and I can't see it there !

 

Can anyone help ? I'm analysis it in 10.6.7 normal update (not MBP or iMac kexts)
