Editing custom personalities for ATI Radeon HD[45]xx

lseba · October 21, 2011

does any one knows in wich kext is located the conector info of the RadeonFramebuffer personality. i belive thta is the default framebuffer used when there is no match for the framebuffer injected by chameleon

Mietas · October 22, 2011

RadeonFramebuffer is an automatic detection of connections in graphic card. If I use this, it will detect LVDS, HDMI and VGA fine, but LVDS stay black without backlight, unfortunately.

lseba · October 22, 2011

so thgere is no connectorinfo hex table for radeonframebuffer that could be edited? is there a way to see the automaticly generated conector info?

Hi bcc9,

I have just come across your postings. I hope you are still monitoring this thread. I have an XFX 5770 (ZMF3) card with 3 physical connectors, DVI : DVI : MDP. When I used the tools you linked to, I found that the card BIOS reports 5 connectors:

I noticed that you were uncertain about your connector types in the original post

Next we take a look at the ConnectorInfo for this personality:

connector-type 0x00000400=displayport at port 0

connector-type 0x00000004=DVI at port 1

connector-type 0x00000200=single link DVI(probably) at port 2

connector-type 0x00000800=HDMI at port 3

I have to admit that I'm guessing, but there are a few clues here:

There are 3 physical connectors, but five reported by the BIOS. Logically then there must be 2 more. Then I remembered that DVI can be either DVI-D (digital only), or DVI-I (digital with -I-ntegrated analog). Looking at the output from the radeon_bios_decode tool, there's another clue in each of the 'Encoder' lines, connectors at indexes 2 and 4 have the acronym DAC in their descriptions, which usually stands for Digital to Analog Converter. Therefore I'm concluding that I do indeed have 5 physical connectors, it's just that my DVI ports are DVI-I and combine the digital and analog.

Looking at the output from your ati_personality script, I'm going to suggest that cards with DVI-I will have personalities like this:

0000000	00  04  00  00  04  03  00  00  00  01  00  00  12  04  05  01 #MDP
0000010	04  00  00  00  04  02  00  00  00  01  00  00  11  02  01  02 #DVI-D
0000020	00  02  00  00  14  02  00  00  00  01  00  00  00  00  03  03 #DVI-A
0000030	04  00  00  00  04  02  00  00  00  01  00  00  11  02  01  04 #DVI-D
0000040	00  02  00  00  14  02  00  00  00  01  00  00  00  00  03  05 #DVI-A

I'm suggesting that 00 20 00 00 is the analog port of DVI-I. What do you think?

anyone have QE/CI for this card in 10.6.8?

TijuanaKez · December 23, 2011

Hope this isn't too off topic but trying to get 10.7 to recognise both DVI ports on a sapphire 6870 using this procedure but I've hit a wall. The default frame buffer for this card is Duckweed which works with only one DVI port. The duckweed port table lists 2 x DP, 1 x HDMI and 1 x DVI which is not going to work as the card has 1 x DP and 2 x DVI (1 single, 1 dual). Both DVI ports work with GraphicsEnabler=No but DVD Player and Ableton crash without correct frame buffer loaded and ableton crashing is not an option for me.

IORegistryExplorer: WORKING DVI with GE=no PORT 3

Interestingly they are both recognised as 0x4 (dual link) with GE=no and work fine even though one is a single link.

GPU-Z

I've tried just changing the connector type in the first line to 0004 instead of 0400

I've tried copying the single link DVI code from port 3 to port 0.

But I have been just hex editing ATI6000Controller and booting 64bit.... will this not work? I'm unclear on instructions for 64bit.

Seeing as none of the ATI6000 series FrameBuffers enable the dual-link DVI I have nothing to copy and paste. I'm hoping I have enough information from radeon_bios_decode and IOReigstryExplorer to get it working anyway, just a bit unsure how to implement it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. There are quite a few people struggling with this card and getting a compatible personality would close a lot of threads.

Come on guys... See the post one above yours. otools is part of xcode, I've added a reference link in post #1. These days one typically installs xcode via the app store.

(And one can't just post otools here as that'd be a copyright violation.)

If this doesn't make sense, you're not meeting the prerequisites in post #1 and are thus posting in the wrong thread.

Guilherme Araújo · January 24, 2012

Hey guys, I've been reading the forums these last couple of weeks, and I could install Lion on my PC, everything is almost fine, except audio via HDMI.

I have an ATI 4850 with 2 DVI ports and I'm using a DVI-HDMI adapter (which includes sound, it works on Windows). According to IORegistry and Chameleon boot info, the personality of this card is MotMot.

I ran that perl script and got this:

Personality: MotMot
ConnectorInfo count in decimal: 2
Disk offset in decimal 462408
0000000	00  04  00  00  04  01  00  00  00  01  00  00  10  00  02  03  // Display Port
0000010	04  00  00  00  14  02  00  00  00  01  00  00  01  11  01  04  // Dual Link DVI
0000020

As you can see, there is no HDMI port. Moreover, there's a DisplayPort on the first line.

This is bugging me... I expected 2 DVI ports, got DP + DVI instead. I'm running Lion, so I looked for these strings on ATI4800Controller.kext. I did found them, twice. (Edit: I read again, one occurrence for 32-bit, the other for 64-bit, right?)

Now it's time to do the trick and "convert" one of them into an HDMI port, but I have no idea how to do this. In the example, the OP copied the "unused" port 3 into port 2, but in my case how should I change the string?

I forgot to mention, on ATI4800Controller's Info.plist there's an entry named Cardinal instead of MotMot. So now I don't know which of them I need do edit.

Hey everyone, I've been reading through this post, and mucha's, and have been trying to get my ATI Radeon HD 4550 card working. I'm on Lion 10.7.3, and have at least gotten DVI working.

This is my radeon_bios_dump:

From this I see I have a VGA port, a HDMI port, and a DVI-I port. I've got graphics pretty much working by adding my Device ID to ATI4600Controller.kext, since Lion does not have a ATI4500Controller, anyways everything works except for my framebuffer. Steam games, DVD Player, and the Chess app don't work as the default personality is loaded ( ATY,ATY,Framebuffer ). Using ATI4600Controller only gives me 3 personality options. Flicker, Gliff, and Shrike. Flicker loaded my VGA port somehow, and was the only one that would actually change the ATY, ATY, Framebuffer in IOReg to ATY, Flicker. Flicker has no port with VGA "1000 0000", so I'm very confused how that loaded. In Snow Leopard, the personality that loaded and let me use my DVI port was Peregrine, so I stuck that in Port0 of Flicker. Now my DVI port loads, so does my VGA. But what has got me even more confused now is that from the BIOS dump, my VGA is Port0, and DVI is Port2. And if I flip the VGA port and DVI port in my personality then there is no change. Does anyone have any ideas on whats going on here? I hope this was clear enough, if its not I'd be happy to post more information.

Also I can't seem to get redsock_bios_decoder to decode my BIOS, it just says, "uhhh, u sure that is an AtomBIOS?" EDIT: Nevermind, I was putting it in wrong.... lol.

Here is my dump from redsock_bios_decode:


R455D39I.F61:

encoder obj id [0x21] which is [iNTERNAL_UNIPHY2 (osx txmit 0x12 [duallink 0x2] enc 0x4)] linkb: false

And here is my Flicker personality that works for DVI:

0000000: 0002 0000 0402 0000 0000 0000 0201 0405 ................ Port0: DVI

0000010: 0008 0000 0002 0000 0071 0000 1204 0402 ................ Port0: HDMI

0000020: 1000 0000 1000 0000 0000 0000 0010 0001 ................ Port0: VGA

If I flip the first and third lines, to make it the correct order according to the BIOS dump, then there is no change. I'm kinda confused here. I also tried a duallink edit ( 0400 0000 ) but that only showed colors and there was no greyscale or something....

Thanks!

got dual display working...kinda ...switched the order of the above to dvi-vga-hdmi

00 02 00 00 14 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 01 10 01 04 (DVI)

10 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 10 00(becomes 02) 01 (VGA)

00 08 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 10 00(changed to 01 01) 02(becomes 03 05 (HDMI) got display working on TV together with VGA , dvi to vga dongle and hdmi gives me a desktop background on monitor and tv (no menubar or dock on either) still not there...no QE/CI yet

with dvi to vga Monitor plugged in at startup and then plugging in hdmi...i have extended desktop from dvi/vga monitor to hdmi TV...and still no QE/CI not done yet

attaching my ioregistryexplorer output with this setup ...just in case anyone gets curious

Hey, are you on Lion? For me all I had to do was put my device ID into the ATI4600Controller, and I had QE/CI. In Snow Leopard I think I had to use a netkas patched ATIRadeonX2000.kext too. I don't have a 4670, but my BIOS dump looks pretty much the same, hope this helps. Here is a link to the 10.6.8 one, it's at the bottom of the post. http://netkas.org/?p=833

Does anyone know if this has changed for 10.7.3? I grabbed my old personality settings and inserted them into the proper offsets. This is what my old personality strings looked like

Personality: Baboon
ConnectorInfo count in decimal: 3
Disk offset in decimal 226840
0000000	00  04  00  00  04  06  00  00  00  01  00  00  21  03  02  02

0000030

This is what they were immediately after patching

I patched the previous connector info using this command:

dd if=baboon.new of=/System/Library/Extensions/ATI5000Controller.kext/Contents/MacOS/ATI5000Controller bs=1 count=48 seek=485368 conv=notrunc

and again for 64 bit

dd if=baboon.new of=/System/Library/Extensions/ATI5000Controller.kext/Contents/MacOS/ATI5000Controller bs=1 count=48 seek=163376 conv=notrunc

I appear to be getting the right output when I run ati-personality.pl

I also double checked to see that I was still using baboon using ioreg | grep ATY

Yet I still can't get HDMI out to work. I'm using an ATI Sapphire 5670, am I missing something?

@Optikon: No errors when you did dd?

@Optikon: No errors when you did dd?

No, just the normal 48 records in, 48 records out text. I'm half tempted to zero the connectors out completely and see what happens. I can always boot using GraphicsEnabler=No and fix it again.

Jadar · March 14, 2012

@Optikon: Use a hex editor, go to the offset, and see if your patch is there.

Jadar · March 15, 2012

Ok, so I just want to make sure I'm understanding this right, when I find the values I want to use, say the Transmitter value from mucha's thread, they are in hex. So to put them into the personality, I need to switch the numbers around? So say my Transmitter value is 0x12, then to put it into the personality I need to switch the 1 and 2 around, so my transmitter thats going to be in my personality is 21?

Thanks!

Hey guys!

I came across with a weird problem: I can't get detailed connection info from my bios (ATI Mobility Radeon x1700, dev_id = 71DE).

Could anybody help me please?

Man, this was not an easy processes! Finally got dual-display working with my Sapphire RadeonHD 5850 Xtreme 1GB card with Graphics Enabler = Yes such that DVDPlayer, steam games, VDADecoder etc works. The card has three outputs, DisplayPort, HDMI, and DVI, and looks pretty much the same as a 5770 physically. I used information in this thread and in http://www.insanelym...pic=262223//url to try to make a working AtiPersonality for the card, and I've got pretty close, as close as I am going to try to get right now.

I can get two displays working at a time, DisplayPort as well as either HDMI or DVI. When both HDMI and DVI are connected to a display, both displays detect properly, system preferences shows them as separate monitors and maps then correctly, but the MenuBar display widget changes from the monitor names to Display 1, Display 2, Display 3, and the most recently plugged in of either HDMI or DVI does not work.

The default profile for the card was Uakari. This profile gave me a working DP monitor with blacked out second and third monitors. It also gave me a phantom inexistent VGA 800x600 monitor. I ended up creating a custom Eulemur personality (no idea if this was the right thing to do, but it was a 3 connector personality, and I saw they used it in the 5770 thread, so I decided to try it), which has given me the most success I have had.

In order to get to my current state with the patch, I did the following.

1) Boot into windows, download GPU-Z, click the little 'Rom' button on the first tab to extract the ROM for the card. I then booted back into OSX used the radeon_bios_decode to extract information about the card.

ATOM BIOS Rom:
	SubsystemVendorID: 0x174b SubsystemID: 0xe174
	IOBaseAddress: 0x0000
	Filename: 174P0306.S41
	BIOS Bootup Message:
CYPRESS PRO GDDR5 BIOS UCODEv:126										  
PCI ID: 1002:6899
Connector at index 0
	Type [@offset 44342]: DisplayPort (10)
	Encoder [@offset 44346]: INTERNAL_UNIPHY2 (0x21)
	i2cid [@offset 44434]: 0x90, OSX senseid: 0x1
Connector at index 1
	Type [@offset 44352]: HDMI-A (11)
	Encoder [@offset 44356]: INTERNAL_UNIPHY2 (0x21)
	i2cid [@offset 44461]: 0x93, OSX senseid: 0x4
Connector at index 2
	Type [@offset 44362]: DVI-I (2)
	Encoder [@offset 44366]: INTERNAL_UNIPHY (0x1e)
	i2cid [@offset 44498]: 0x94, OSX senseid: 0x5
Connector at index 3
	Type [@offset 44372]: DVI-I (2)
	Encoder [@offset 44376]: INTERNAL_KLDSCP_DAC1 (0x15)
	i2cid [@offset 44498]: 0x94, OSX senseid: 0x5

Here we can see that the DisplayPort is at senseid 1, the HDMI at 4, and the DVI at 5.

I then ran the ati-personality perl script and cropped my results to just the ATI5000 kext. I then looked through the personalities for lines that began and ended with the following pairs:

Begin : end

00 04 : 01 // DisplayPort connector on senseid 1

00 02 : 05 // DVI-I connector on senseid 5

00 08 : 04 // HDMI connector on senseid 4

It ended up they were all from Uakari, so it was effectively like I was just removing the second row from the Uakari profile and placing it in the Eulemur.

I ended up with the following for my three connector Eulemur personality:

0000000: 0004 0000 0004 0000 0071 0000 1204 0401  // Displayport connector on senseid 1 from Uakari
0000010: 0002 0000 1400 0000 0071 0000 0000 0605  // DVI-I connecotr on senseID 5 from Uakari
0000020: 0008 0000 0002 0000 0071 0000 2205 0504  // HDMI on senseID 4 from Uakari

It does not seem that HDMI-Audio is working, although it could be something else about my setup. I honestly don't really care about HDMI Audio, so if I ever get triple display working, regardless of HDMI audio, I will post an update.

For those new, I used GraphicsEnabler=Yes, and AtiConfig=Eulemur in org.chameleon for my profile.

I'm trying to enable HDMI Audio on my ATI Saphire Radeon HD 5450, VID 1002 | DID AA01 (from Windows)| SubSys 00AA0100. In 10.7.3 via System Info app DID AA01 is displayed as AA68 (ATI Manhattan HDMI Audio [Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series] [1002:aa68]). VoodooHDA 0.2.7.3 detects the HDMI device but does not find any output controls with it. I then applied the trick as per Slice's instructions to set the device and vendor ID in Info.plist, then create one entry for each card in IOKitPersonalities, to no avail.

Here's my VoodooHDA getdump. I am aware there are several possible approaches (hex editing ATIFramebuffer; hex editing VoodooHDA) or even a mixof them.

What I could need at this point is advice which path I should follow.

Thank you,

Bugs

I know I am late to this thread, but I want to thank bcc9 for his knowledge. I have a Sapphire 5670, on a Gigabyte P35 MB w/ a Q9550 CPU, running SL 10.6.8, and had been running into a wall of frustration trying to get triple monitors working, thinking all I needed was the proper framebuffer. After trolling seemingly thousands of posts in both this forum and tonymacs, I had even gone so far as to buy a 'golden' Gigabyte 6850 card, thinking it would be the answer.

When all I got out of that card was dual monitors, I finally started searching for framebuffer code mods to fix that card, and stumbled on to this thread. His documentation of the steps he took to fix everything for his 5670 pushed me to try to fix my 5670, and after a couple of attempts, including one error that forced me to re-install the OS from scratch, I have achieved success! I now have 2-22" LCDs and a 32" 720p HDTV monitor attached to my 5670, with full QE/CI.

Thanks very much - I am going to be able to send the 6850 back for a refund, since the 5670 fills my needs. ...and I have a triple boot system, w/ W764 SP1, OSX SL 10.6.8, and AVLinux 5.03 on separate drives, all with 3 monitor desktops after these mods.
