JaS 10.4.7 OSX86 and ATi Radeon 9600 Pro

[Exsanguinator]

Hi guys!

 

First off, thanks to JaS and everyone else who has put so much effort into the OSx86 Project.

 

I have a Sony VAIO, SSE2 P4 2.6GHz with an ATi Radeon 9600 Pro 256MB VRAM (AGP 4x Motherboard) in the AGP slot.

 

I have successfully installed Mac OSX 10.4.7! Thanks JaS!

 

Here is where the problems come in... I have an Apple Cinema Display 23", connected via DVI to the VAIO.

 

• I have tried editing the ATi.kext and appending the hex values for my card.

• I have tried AGPGart.kext and AGPGart.kext (lite).

• I have tried Callisto builds 003, 005, and 008.

• Build 003, and 005: Boots fine, Verbose reports all correct values for my DFP, a res of 1920x1200 and then at startup only allows me to select 1024x and below; upon slected any new res I get a blank screen and have to restart and remove display prefs.

• Build 008: When not in Verbose, I get a kernel Panic. When in Verbose startup stalls at Airport.

 

I am now using build 005 of Callisto and have no QE, CI, or native resolution.

 

Please, please, help me!

 

Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer!!

Thank you kindly for the messages, I tried Callisto Build 003 along with AGPGart, and I now have full 1920x res! No QE/CI yet, but it's only a matter of time!

to get qe/ci did you try the faq page of the callisto install? .. about changing the framebuffer in the atiplugin kext

Yep, just did that a little bit ago, now all that is left is mouse leaving lil graphic glitches.

 

I'll try some of the stuff suggested in the forums for that, I do design so it's a pain.

 

By the way, I hope my experience was helpful to someone else who was having similar problems!

 

I know have a pretty, and fast, Hackintosh!
