atlee Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Thanks for the tip. It doesn't seem to matter what flags I give it at boot, it still only shows on the external monitor. I'm still uncertain as to why this doesn't work - everyone else seems to just say 'Just boot with this FB' or whatever - I haven't seen anyone get this same issue as me (ie. it boots Megalodon every time) I'm using the ROM that Atlee compiled which should take the AtiConfig string and work with it. I'm stumped.. Using the boot file from Kabyl's branch that is edited with 5650 ID that Checcco did, You don't need the rom file, Some bootloaders allow you to use UseATIRom = Yes but in this situation it is not needed, did you try Eulemur FB? seems to me different brand laptops give the video cards diff connector sense id's. Seems Checcco and I are on a journey to modify the kexts to allow all ports to work. Just keep watching the ATI threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's just it - it doesn't matter what FB I give the bootloader, it just ALWAYS loads up Megalodon and only displays on VGA - though I suspect HDMI would work too if I had a monitor for it. Have I done something wrong? Every other kernel flag/key I set in Boot.plist or give to the loader works - but not the framebuffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theakseffect Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Has anyone else noticed that even though system profiler says 32 bit at 'Pixel Depth', it really looks like 16 bit (watch an HD video to really notice)? Changing the color profile doesn't help, which is too bad. I get this booting with Eulemur as well as with Vervet (Hoolock now gives me artifacts) and both in 32 and 64 bit mode. Am I the only one with this issue or do others have this as well? [edit]I haven't used a rom file to be able to boot btw, neither used the AtiFb flag. Could that be it?[/edit] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st40611 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I was wondering do I need to be on 10.6.6 for this to work?

jimbly2 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 After some successes on this card I've been struggling for 3 days to try and get QE/CI on 5650m.But my laptop didn't like the easy way so I've been reading dozens of topic and following dozens of guide. In the end I succeeded! I think this solution is nearly perfect. There's still something that can be fixed, but we have to work together. Here's how i got it (If you find an easier way or if you think I've done something not useful, just share it) BE SURE TO BE ABLE TO VNC IN YOUR LAPTOP!!! Start from a clean 10.6.3 Get your card bios as shown here http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1029 (you must be in 32 bit mode to use this tool) Rename the dumped bios 1002_68c1.rom annd put it in your Extra folder Comboupdate to 10.6.6 in safe mode (-x) Before reboot install Lion's ATI5000, ATISupport and ATIFramebuffer (they are here on the forum) using KextHelper Overwrite your boot file with the one attached here that I compiled from Kabyl's source to make it work with 5650s Reboot with GraphicsEnabler=Yes AtiConfig=READ BELOW At this point we reboot setting the right Framebuffer to work with our card. I've found two working framebuffers that behaves differently: A. Hoolock If you get corrupted screen VNC into your laptop and try to change resolution. I couldn't find 1366x768 so installed Switchresx to get it. STRANGE THING:If you attach an external monitor you get only a mirrored screen and System Profiler will report only a monitor attached. So if you choose this way reboot with: GraphicsEnabler=Yes AtiConfig=Hoolock B. Vervet Again if you get corrupted screen VNC into your laptop and try to change resolution. I couldn't find 1366x768 so installed Switchresx to get it. STRANGE THING:System profiler will report always 2 monitor attached even if you got no external monitor attached (and you can see it by looking at your laptop from VNC). OSX will behave like if you have an external monitor (you can drag windows etc..) So if you choose this way reboot with: GraphicsEnabler=Yes AtiConfig=Vervet I hope it's all clear.... And let's try altogether to solve the STRANGE THINGS EDIT: I wanna thank hjs89 for suggesting Lion's kexts and for instructing me about recompiling Kabyl's boot. boot.zip Hi - could you help me get my 5650 working? I have an HP DV7T with the 720 i7 quad - I have evrything else working and was very close to getting the card working with the method you described here, but always got a black screen - tried every FB listed but nothing. If I VNC into it, no QE either. It did recognise that the 5650 was present in the system profiler but always said 'no display connected'. I then tried installing [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] 3.2 with experimental ATI support - it now hangs on the boot screen - but if I VNC it has loaded the system. No QE and in system profiler it just gives a page of ffffffffs - mem allocation error? Again tried it with Eulemur, Vervet, Hoolock - no change. Where do I go from here? I'm sooo close I can almost smell it :-) Thanks Jim Hi,I have tried it with Eulemur, but the display stays black and I can only access it over VNC. I use the PC EFI 10.6 bootloader, 10.6.6, 10.3 qoopz kernel and it's a dv7-4173cl, with i7-720QM. When I try to change the resolution it kinda whitens up Alexander EDIT: I forgot to mention, that in my opinion the monitor isn't detected for some reason. I have the same - but with DV7T... did you find any solution? cheers Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have any input? Doing this on an Envy 14 i5. Dont know if this helps but when i was installing archlinux to my envy14 it would blank out very similar to the way the osx86 install does and it was due to a kernel mode setting here is the preboot argument that fixed it for me in linux: i915.modeset=0 i beleive this is disabling the intel graphics which might be what will get you going correctly i also saw people writing in other forums to go and delete a bunch of kexts from before rebooting so maybe getting rid of the intel kext will do the trick. Every time i made a hackintosh i found that less drivers is always better get only what you know for sure u need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so happy when I read this but it looks like I cant go any higher than 10.6.2 with out ati res or acceleration... am using the latest [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] legacy 2.7.2 which is the only one that boots at all and lets me install SL 10.6 in the first place... and [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] doest even work half the times and the bootloaders dont work so I have to keep using the disc to boot am screwed aint I?.....

I have .rom files in /Extra, boot file from checco post http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t=0&start=0 in / (root dir) and the most difficult part was to find out the right 'Atiframebuffer', i use EnableGraphics=Yes AtiConfig=Vervet. Tried nearly all the others mentioned in several posts but they didn't work. Some people use 'Hoolock' others 'Eulemur' etc. Keep trying until you find the right one for you. Also I have the right EDID (see #24) on checco post. Don't give up as, like you, it took my changes and reboots to finally have qe/ci on my laptop. My config is an Acer 5479G i5 M520 2,4GHz Ati 5650 1G and have nearly all things working. My main concern was the graphics solution because without it it's not really worth to install osx.

Best option is for you to try get it right for your computer. Keep reading the posts, as I cannot add anything new that isn't already explained before. At one point the screen would go black but working normally (saw it through vnc) and the only thing needed to change was the atiframebuffer to 'Ververt'. I also have limited knowledge of how things work but I do lots of searches in this forum and google. Try changing options from the boot prompt, no need for re-install everything, use a external usb disk to clone a working instalation and when in trouble just restore to internal hdd. Read how to access installation with -s (single user terminal prompt) and make alterations to /Extra files (com.apple.Boot..) or any other directory. If your screen doesn't change from the '4 mini images' it's because it's not the right atiframebuffer, or the edid (display) is not correct.

Michael van Niekerk Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Follow the link, my files are there The post is also Aspire TimelineX specific... EDID is only a stop gap measurement if you really tried all video profiles and nothing worked, then MAYBE EDID is to blame. So rather go through the list of video profiles for AtiConfig="x" and see if you can get another profile that works for you.

Although System Profiler says Intel for the graphics when it should be ATI 5470 and in System Preferences > Displays it doesnt give me a 1366 x 768 option. I dont know what could have caused it, maybe the 10.6.6 update? But im so close i know it! Did you ever figure this out? And do you know how to disable switchable graphics (anyone?) - HP's BIOS doesnt have many options? Can anyone help please?? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
