Leopard1993 · April 1, 2011

Hello i have a mobility 4650 i can't find shrike hexadecimal code in atiframebuffer because i don't know the offset so, what's the offset of shrike in ati framebuffer 10.6.6?? And kizwan can you tell me how can i try your boot.mobility.0x9480.shrike?? Then how can i install it?? i have as bootloader PC-EFI 10.6 by netkas

Please go to my previous post (at previous page). At my previous post, you can find offsets of the Shrike's connection table in the ATIFramebuffer file. There are two places; one for 32bit & another one for 64bit.

To install boot.mobility.0x9480.shrike; just rename it to boot. Replaced the PC-EFI 10.6's boot file with it.

Thank you for your answer kizwan, but the ati.c source file shall i use it in some way with your bootloader(shrike)??

kizwan · April 1, 2011

Thank you for your answer kizwan, but the ati.c source file shall i use it in some way with your bootloader(shrike)??

The ati.c is just for reference. Chameleon is an open source project, so when I uploaded modified binary file, I will be required to give the modified source code too.

Leopard1993 · April 2, 2011

Ok thank you i know this, i've tryed your bootloader but it give me a screen with the apple logo and makes me a big strange line above , blocked by charging more and I'll see flash the lights on the block shift and num lock! It does this when I start thenotebook and still do not see the written bios. What should I do? Sorry for my bad english

MACPC USER · April 2, 2011

I tried to follow this guide I extracted the ROM file of my card with VBIOS tool. but when trying to get connectors info with radeodump , it generates and empty "connector.txt" file. please help for that point so I can continue .

Make sure removed the DSDT.AML. These are the modified boot file (Peregrine, Shrike & Vervet) for ATI Mobility Radeon HD4650 (device ID 0x9480):-

boot.mobility.0x9480.peregrine.zip

boot.mobility.0x9480.shrike.zip

boot.mobility.0x9480.vervet.zip

The modified ati.c file (based on mucha's modified ati.c) for trunk:-

The encoders & transmitter already correct. Now we're focusing on injecting missing property for mobility card. Please test & post the IORegistry dumps. Thank you.

Kizwan,

I did many tests:

1. All new boot files give black screens, no VGA no HDMI either, no working VNC to dump.

2. I did tests with all three tables Shrike, peregrine and vervet, no results.

3. The last DSDT.aml gives kernel panic, the first one does not, but freezes at boot.

4. The only boot file that give me fully functional HDMI is a boot I compiled for Shrike. See attached. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24426032/boot-Shrike

This is really puzzling. What is the problem? Thanks, almuras

Here are the dumps with my boot_Shrike

The problem you experienced are really weird. Doesn't make sense at all. If the DSDT you gave me is from your notebook, it shouldn't cause any problem. You'll need to explain to me again regarding your setup; vanilla setup? vanilla kernel? foreign kexts? Did you inject the ATI mobility new property in the boot file?

almuras · April 4, 2011

I have vanilla setup and kernel. Basic foreign kexts, like fakesmc, null CPU management, apple ps2.

In boot file I only injected video card id and shriek.

The strange thing I have hdmi working even without rom injection or even withou Edid my lvds is correctly recognized from Vnc

Many thanks to bcc9 for his genius discovery and for his method for finding and editing framebuffer personalities
I was planning to add this to bbc9 topics, but i couldn't add a replay only a new topic in new users lounge is allowed for me (I'm a member since 2006 ),so if a moderator can attach it it's welcome.

Most credit should go to bcc9 (radeondump & tutorial) & Dong (RadeonHD), this was not possible without his finding ,a previous knowledge of bbc9 method with some basic binary editing and terminal skills is a must have.

Sorry for my bad English and my Bad teaching skills, the most important is the idea.

Any additional useful information and feed-back is welcome

The bootlaoder is chameleon rev 747 with modded ati.c with corrected default framebuffer to Shrike and model name for my DeviceId: 0x9480 (Kabyl boot file is no go for me).

Many people are asking me for my ATIFramebuffer.kext, you should know that even on similar hardware it may not work due to different SenseID

The Guide (HowTo.rtf outdated ) in the attachements with some usefull files for quick editing

Updates:

1- the same method is tested in Mac OS X version 10.6.3 & the lastest update 10.6.7 and i report it's working perfectly for both

2- for the 10.6.3 system the personnality is 20 bytes (the SenseID byte is replaced by i2cid & SenseID is 4 bytes);

a-the original 10.6.3 Shrike ConnectorInfo:
02 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 09 00 00 00 02 01 00 00 03 00 00 00 
02 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 09 01 00 00 20 01 02 91 02 00 00 00 
00 04 00 00 04 03 00 00 00 01 00 00 10 00 01 90 01 00 00 00
b-My modded working 10.6.3 Shrike ConnectorInfo :
02 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 09 00 00 00 12 00 00 96 07 00 00 00 
10 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 10 01 95 06 00 00 00 
00 08 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 20 01 02 90 01 00 00 00
3- About the 10.6.7 Update:

a-ConnectorInfo are located in ATIFramebuffer.kext for the general combo update (the same as 10.6.6 system)

b-ConnectorInfo have migrated to ATIControlerXXXX.kext for 2011 MBP update (the kernel & ATi Drivers structure are closer to Lion 10.7 than to 10.6.6),

ATIController4600.kext contain only Shrike, Flicker & Gliff ConnectorInfo (which theorically restrict the possible framebuffer to use with a specific controller.kext)

ATIController4800.kext contain only Cardinal,Motmot & Quail ConnectorInfo.

The Online guide:

A- The Structure of a personality:

I'll take Shrike as framebuffer for the demonstration, cause it's used as default by Radeon HD 4670 (M96XT, DevID 0x9488 ) on iMac 10,1 & iMac11,2

which is the closest to the Mobility Radeon HD 4650 (M96, DevID 0x9480) on my board.

for Shrike we have by default 3 personalities , one for each connector (3 connectors allowed): port0, port1, port2.

02 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 09 01 00 00 02 01 00 03

02 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 09 01 00 00 20 01 02 02

00 04 00 00 04 03 00 00 00 01 00 00 10 00 01 01

let's take the first one which is for port 0 :

02 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 09 01 00 00 02 01 00 03

divide it to 8 parts:

02 00 00 00 - 40 00 00 00 - 09 01 - 00 00 - 02 - 01 - 00 - 03

Then byte swapped

1- ConnectorType : 02 00 00 00 > 0x00000002 - - -

2- ATY,ControlFlags : 40 00 00 00 > 0x00000040 +++

3- Features : 09 01 > 0x0109 +++

4- Unkown : 00 00 > 0x0000 - - -

5- Transmitter : 02 > 0x02 - - -

6- Encoder : 01 > 0x01 - - -

7- HotplugID : 00 > 0x00 - - -

8- SenseID : 03 > 0x03 ++++++

- - - > Value not important, but need to be accurate for better result

+++ > Important value, incorrect value == not working personality

Detailed info about possible value for each field is list below ( some are confirmed, some only guessed by studying different personalities and need some feed-back

Now to some practice

B- Getting the ConnectorType, ATY,ControlFlags,Features, HotplugId and SenseLineId Values:

You will need :

1- videocard bios dump ( i have used everest for that and renamed it 1002_9480.rom ) ,

2- radeondump tool from bbc9

launch Terminal & type ./radeondump < your_videobios.rom > connector.txt

you will get something like this :
	Desktop Mucha$ ./radeondump < 1002_9480.rom 
ATOM BIOS Rom:

Connector at index 1 type: VGA (1)
Connector's i2cid: 95

which means:

port0 > LVDS=0x00000002 - ControlFlag=0x0040 - Features = 0x09-------------------------HotplugId=0x00 - i2cid=96 > SenseLine = 0x07

717  */
You need Dong's RadeonHD.kext , i have used the 10/20/2009 update, edit the info.plist to set the debug to true and verbose level to 2

then delete ATI4600 & ATIFramebuffer from S/L/E (make a back-up first) and install radeonHD reboot (your external VGA,DVI or HDMI screen most be connected)

once on desktop go to Terminal : sudo -s , type your password then dmesg >Encoder.txt

In my case i get as output:

Based upon the above information my SPECIFIC videocard routing is:

CRTC1>DAC > DACA >VGA Encoder=0x10 Transmitter = 0x00

CRTC1>DIG2>UNIPHYB>HDMI Encoder= 0x01 Transmitter = 0x20 (i don't have a hdmi display to test)

Now doing the compilation , my new modded Shrike personalities :

02 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 09 01 00 00 12 00 00 07 LVDS

10 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 10 01 06 VGA

00 08 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 20 01 02 01 HDMI

This mod allowed me to get both LVDS an VGA display working with Resolution change, QE/CI Extended desktop and Mirroring

I have tested the same mod with Peregrine and i confirm it's also Working.

D- How to Easy Quick Patch your desired Framebuffer personality (without calculating the adresses and for both i386 and x86_64):

You should have a hexadecimal editor:

1- Download the attached : Sharks_FB.txt Birds_FB.txt and Monkeys_FB.txt,

2- Open the text file select and copy the desired personality hexadecimal code (the one you want to patch),

3- Open Logging in and Drag ATIFramebuffer binary to hexadecimal editor,

4- Select : edit>search , in the search fields paste the clipboard content and choose hex value & wrap option,

Hello can anyone post the ATIFramebuffer.kext patched for ati mobility 4650?? I've tryied to patch the ATIFramebuffer exec with my custom personalities the shrike framebuffer but it doesn't work for me it doesn't give me QE/CI. Kizwan HELP ME!!!!

I have vanilla setup and kernel. Basic foreign kexts, like fakesmc, null CPU management, apple ps2.
In boot file I only injected video card id and shriek.

The strange thing I have hdmi working even without rom injection or even withou Edid my lvds is correctly recognized from Vnc

Please tell me what exactly you do when booting with the modified DSDT that I provided to you. What boot flags you use, including inside the com.apple.Boot.plist? Did you removed the nullcpupowermanagement kext?

Except the above question, I don't have any idea anymore. Something is wrong with your setup. Your notebook also unable to boot with the modified boot files I provided to you. The idea of the modified boot files are to test the new injected property. So, the ioreg dumps you gave earlier is not useful since you use your boot file without the new property injected.

Please take mine as an example. The Mac OS X on my notebook works without any disabler or nullcpupowermanagement kexts. Before the ATIFramebuffer solution exist, I already make sure OS X works as it should be. I fixed my DSDT & use correct machine identifier in SMBIOS.PLIST.

These are the only foreign kexts I use:-
- AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext
- ApplePS2Controller.kext
- fakesmc.kext
- IDT92HD73C1X5_R3.kext (for audio)
- IONetworkingFamily.kext (for ethernet)
- DellBluetoothHCI.1.2.kext (for bluetooth)

Since you ask help. Please do these:-

Setup remote connection. You can connect to your mac remotely via vnc. This is useful to collect useful information such as IORegistry dump.
I also need you to obtain RadeonHD's log in Mac OS X using dong's RadeonHD.kext. Please use dong's RadeonHD (10/20/2009 update). Remember, the 10/20/2009 update. In the package there is a tool called RadeonDump. Use it to obtain RadeonHD's log. Make sure you installed the RadeonHD.kext first & at least one external monitor connected to HDMI (if possible).
Please execute RadeonDump like this:-
```
sudo -s
./RadeonDump > Encoder.txt
```
Please explain your OS X setup. Are you using vanilla kernel? (anything at all)
Please list legacy or foreign kexts you currently use in OS X.
I want to know the content of your com.apple.Boot.plist.

Cyrus the Great · April 5, 2011

thanks kizwan for your guide.

I use your boot loader and evry thing going to work except gpu control that i didnt see it in my ioregistery expolerer .

and i dont no how can get registery dump to post it?

thanks.

Which guide you're referring to? You're probably using wrong machine identifier in smbios.plist. Please try iMac10,1. Does your internal LCD panel highest resolution is 1366x768?

I want to invite you to post your notebook configuration here. The idea is to collect tested configuration. Thank you.

I see you're using the modified boot file I created for you. I'll look to your IORegistry dump again later.

mucha guide that you simplifed it.

my internal LCD panel highest resolution is 1366x768

this is my ioregistery dump .and i dont how create smbios.plist with iMAc10.1 .it is identifed as macbook pro 4.1

can you plz post smbios.plist with imac 10.1.

thanks

and for tested configuration forum i am using the shrike moded with mucha because ur harware and is same

Sure, I'll prepare smbios.plist with iMac10,1 as machine identifier.

For the tested configuration forum, can you post these information (just edit your post there). It's really important. Thank you for your time.

and other problem when i tray to open dvd file with dvd player it kernel panic with atix2000.kext depenency error

iokit . iopcifamiliy

iokit . iondvrsupport

iokit . iographics familiy error

i will get my rom dump and post in configuration forum as soon as posible.

thanks

kizwan · April 5, 2011

can you plz post smbios.plist with imac 10.1.

This is smbios.plist with machine identifier set to iMac10,1. Please install it in Extra folder. With iMac10,1 as machine identifier, you should get native speedstep support. You can observed it using an application called MSR Tools in 32bit mode.

iMac10_1.zip

No need to. It's just cosmetic.

and other problem when i tray to open dvd file with dvd player it kernel panic with atix2000.kext depenency error
iokit . iopcifamiliy

iokit . iondvrsupport

iokit . iographics familiy error

This is hard to troubleshoot. May I know list of legacy/foreign kexts you're using?

i will get my rom dump and post in configuration forum as soon as posible.
thanks

Thank you very much!

Cyrus the Great · April 5, 2011

thanks it work for me and now i have gpu control and imac 10.1.

the kext in my /e/e is(AppleACPIBatteryManager.kext AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext FakeSMC.kext GenericBrightness.kext LegacyHDA.kext VoodooPS2Controller.kext )

and also i use usbpcifamiliyfix and usbdriverfix in /s/l/e/

i dont now what is problem when first time i install it dvd player play but now its get error and kernel panic.

thanks

I know GenericBrightness.kext but I never tried it. I never heard of usbpcifamiliyfix and usbdriverfix. Try removed these three kexts & see if that cure kernel panic with DVD Player.

BTW, can you post your new IORegistry dump? I just want to look.

kizwan · April 5, 2011

but when i remove this kext my webcam and some time my usb port dosent work.
is there any whay to get usb work without this kext ?

There are Chameleon's built-in fix for USB. Try boot with USBBusFix=Yes.
