Trucker,

details uploaded dsdt ,vgabios,connector outputs , edid screen info , perl output.

Using system definition macbook pro 8.1

All from Acer 7741g 354G32Mnkk

core i 3 350m ati radeon hd 5470 1600x900 resolution

 

If you need any other files let me know.

 

Thanks,

 

Úll Mac

Something is wrong with your dsdt. Check it and attach it again.

I get this kind of output when i open it with dsdt editor:

“OSYSèp
@`¤`J/_SB_PCI0EHC1[‚HRHUB_ADR

Edit

Try each of this two kexts with chameleon bootloader. Úll_Mac.zip (with and without GraphicsEnabler=Yes) (AtiConfig=Eulemur)

Hi all,

could you help me installing those kext for my Radeon HD 6550m please?

i've tried compiling DSDT but i'm definetely not familiar with this.

 

This is my configuration

Hp Pavillion dv6-3322el

 

Microprocessor 2.66 GHz Intel Core i5-480M

Microprocessor Cache 3 MB L3 cache

Memory 6 GB DDR3

Memory Max Upgradeable to 8 GB DDR3

Video Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6550M (1 GB DDR3)

500 GB SATA (7200 rpm)

 

Which files are needed?

thanks

You have here in these 7 pages (not too much to read, right?) the kexts for your graphic card, search this forum or google if you don't know how to install kexts.

Edit. If you want to use it without GraphicsEnabler=Yes, attach your DSDT, VBIOS , ATI****Controller.kext from your OS X version and output from ati-personality.pl, both x86 and x64 (x86 does not apply for 10.8). I'll edit it for you, you only need to install the kext and it will work.

Edit 2. Actually, anyone asking for help, include these files in attached archive with your username.

Test Results - On clean install of Mountain Lion 10.8.0 with ###### , chameleon v2.1 R2048 and ###### with EvOreboot ;fake smc,ps/2 keyboard,mac pro 8.1 ; voodoo hda 0.2.1

Chameleon breaks audio but not worried about that at the moment.

 

With 1001 kext :

( Graph.Enabler=Yes AitConfig=Eulemur ) LVDS backlight on / no image

( no boot flags ) Screen Resolution 1024x768 vram=3mb card not recognised

also tried each with display overides - results are as above

 

 

With 2001 kext :

( Graph.Enabler=Yes AitConfig=Eulemur ) LVDS backlight on / no image

( no boot flags ) Screen Resolution 1024x768 vram=3mb card not recognised

also tried each with display overides - results are as above

 

Previously with clean install of mountain lion 10.8.0 using ###### and chimera with graphics enabler=yes boot flag and display overide

and vga connected , lvds still not recognised but on external monitor I get card recognised as radeon 5400 series with 512mb vram and full acceleration.

With modified connectors I also got full acceleration thru hdmi on external screen

This also worked using chameleon , only difference was card was correctly shown in system profiler as radeon 5470 .

Thanks for your answer Trucker.

My graphic card is a 6550m not a 6650m one, haven't found any kext for my card in the thread!

 

I've been trying to extract my vBIOS anyway, but my hp f.29 bios doesn't seem to contain any "phoenix/dell/insyde/EFI BIOS" in any of the files.

No problems.

I came over here 'cause i've read that those two GC may be similar. Is there any advice you can give me to have my card supported on my hackintosh?

Thanks

Well, in general, you need to find the senseid for your GC ports (from decoded vbios dump) , than find personality that best matches those senseid, edit it to exactly match your GC ports. If your GC's SubsystemVendorID and SubsystemID are not included in Chimera or Chameleon, you need to include those and recompile Chameleon/Chimera. And a lot of testing :-) I will post later link with very detailed step by step, I just need to find it. It's on tonymacx86 forum.

Trucker,

 

I remade my display overide yesterday just in case i had any errors but my original one is correct.

I came across an old thread about the possibility of adding edid edits to dsdt but no one on that thread had any success with that method.

One thing I did notice when checking my display overide - the ioreg output from display overides mentions PEGP display 0 .

That probably confirms patching at PEGP in my DSDT is the way to go , particularly since you had success under PEGP.

I've been playing around with the pegp patch you used but so far no luck at my end.

 

On question, in dsdt lines ......buffer (0x04) should I use ( 0x02) for 512mb card ?

 

I'll keep at it , and if you get anywhere you can let me know.

 

Thanks.

What did the job in the PEGP section was adding the "ATI, bin image" part (the VBIOS), without it, os x can't recognise my 6650M. Can't do much now, working and roaming, expensive... :-)

 

Wah that is way too much for me!

thanks anyway for the link :)

Haha, but feels good when you succeed :-)

ok, will see how that goes, and you're right about roaming costs absolute robbery!

ok, i've edited bux boogas pegp to suit ati 5470 512mb, and added it to my dsdt. ( in two places where pegp is mentioned in my dsdt ) and edited my ati 5000 connector

 

now when booting with chimera, no boot flags and no display overide - system profiler correctly shows amd hd 5470 and vram 512mb

 

but I only have 1024x768 resolution ,no acceleration and no options for other resolutions.

 

tried adding display overide but no change.

 

do i need to use bux boogas template at both instances of pegp in dsdt ?

 

any ideas on how to get acceleration?

to add.... ran ioreg I grep ATY and confirmed ati kexts are loading.

 

anyone any ideas , nearly there now.

Try adding this to the PEGP, leave the bufer emty between () and recompile your dstd. Try with and without the "dual link" patch. If your connectors info are good, you should see some result.

ati_bin_image_5470.rar

 

cannot get dsdt to compile with that bin image, keep getting syntax error.as soon as i open bin image to copy i get error with the bin image

SUCCESS

 

I had installed the trucker provided boot and ATI6000 controller next and attacked this last one with an hex editor (hex fiend) I located the numbers sequence of LVDS connector provided by trucker in a previous post and substituted it for the numbers sequence used by bux-booga. This was the magic trick. After this I have a perfect working, functional and graphically accelerated system.

 

Note 1: I didn´t make any modification to the HDMI and VGA connector info but I have make some tests and I can have duplicated or extended screens with HDMI but not VGA (this last is not working). The only problem with the HDMI is that I can not get sound from it, but that is a problem for the future, not now, I think that I will not use normally the external video ports, perhaps occasionally to show photos at the TV.

 

I have a HP Pro book 6560b with Radeon 6470 inside (PCI ID: 1002:6760) and have the same problem -

Pithecia framebuffer makes VGA display external working and LVDS is garbled screen with vertical lines pixel displacements.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/669607/tmp/macvideo/screen_columns.jpg

 

I tried to modify the Pithecia with different configurations - from many topics with no success.

Sometimes it starts with good screen - but almost always it is unreadable.

 

 

As i see You fixed this issue - but i do not understand how - You said that You changed the ATI6000Controller but lately You wrote that You didn't modify any connectors info...

So - what did you do??

 

May be somebody can help me - my information is here..

Mac OS 10.7.4

https://dl.dropbox.c...00.0200.vga.rom

https://dl.dropbox.c...6470_radeon.txt

https://dl.dropbox.c...470_redsock.txt

 

Any other framebuffers except Pithecia do not give the both VGA and LVDS working...

I tried to copy the Pithecia to Osmunda and run - but it do not recognise the VGA - is there any other change should be done to create the copy of Pithecia framebuffer but not only copying the connectors info?

bux_booga,

 

I could kiss you!! :-)

 

Patching my DSDT with your PEGP.dsl works perfectly. I did change the framebuffer in the patch to ipomoea, and edited the ATI6000Controller.kext to match your osmunda hex data. It now boots to a clear, accelerated graphics screen every time! Sleep also works perfectly. I'll be testing HDMI and VGA next but I'm confident it will work. I may also look into further DSDT edits to get HDMI audio working, there is a thread on tonymacx86 on this. Just one question, how did you discover how to add the ATI graphics info your DSDT? Thanks again.

 

 

Hi, have tried to use bux boogas pegp with my acer 7741g ati 5470,1600x900 native resolution, bux suggested editing controllers,trucker suggests adding ati bin image.

Still unable to solve.My problem seems to be edid not being read .

Since there is a good chance the 7750 and 7741 have the same lvds panel I am hoping that a variation of the method for 6650 will work for me.

With no dsdt and ge=yes i modified my connectors and have full acceleration thru vga and hdmi but black screen thru lvds.

 

Did you have edid pick up before adding dsdt ?

 

Just trying to understand exactly what you changed in bux's pegp ?

In changing the framebuffer you just edited the name?

And with the controller ?

 

( i tried patching my dsdt with the pegp ,modifing TO SUIT 5470 ( I THINK )

result was without boot flags lvds working , system profiler shows correct card and vram correctly shows 512mb

but resolution only 1024x768 with no other options

Good, so You need to find the correct configuration for the LVDS.

 

Did you have edid pick up before adding dsdt ?

 

I never got EDID picked up without editing connector info for LVDS in ATI6000Controller.kext + GE=Yes / DSDT (PEGP) Patch

 

Just trying to understand exactly what you changed in bux's pegp ?

In changing the framebuffer you just edited the name?

 

Changed:

Framebuffer name, because i'm using Ipomoea in ATI6000Controller.kext, bux_booga is using Osmunda, also VRAM size need to be changed accordingly and some other, you can compare below. (Crucial from here is the "Dual link" Patch, to have proper sleep function) Without the Dual Link Patch i am using transmitter 20 for LVDS (No sleep/wake), with the Dual Link Patch, i use transmitter 10 for LVDS and i get the sleep/wake function.

 

Added:

- A lot, but most of it it's just cosmetics. As i said, "ATI,bin_image" was crucial. Adding it to my PEGP + ATI6000Controller.kext with modified Ipomoea (LVDS transmitter 10) I got OS X to recognize my 6650M without GE=Yes and i have proper sleep/wake on my 7750G (and others, nai22, P.Gpunkt, E.Miller) on 10.7.0, 10.7.2, 10.7.3, 10.7.4, 10.8. with my kexts and my PEGP patch.

And with the controller ?

 

You need to find the right connectors info for all of the connectors: LVDS, HDMI, VGA.

Here is mine for 6650M:

 

0000000 02 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 09 01 00 00 10 01 00 03 --- LVDS

0000010 00 08 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 11 02 04 01 --- HDMI No audio

0000020 10 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 01 05 --- VGA

0000030

i tried patching my dsdt with the pegp ,modifing TO SUIT 5470 ( I THINK )

You can choose between this or GE=Yes (If your GC's SubsystemVendorID and SubsystemID are included in Chimera or Chameleon) after you find the correct connector info for LVDS

I have a HP Pro book 6560b with Radeon 6470 inside (PCI ID: 1002:6760) and have the same problem -

Pithecia framebuffer makes VGA display external working and LVDS is garbled screen with vertical lines pixel displacements.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/669607/tmp/macvideo/screen_columns.jpg

 

I tried to modify the Pithecia with different configurations - from many topics with no success.

Sometimes it starts with good screen - but almost always it is unreadable.

 

 

As i see You fixed this issue - but i do not understand how - You said that You changed the ATI6000Controller but lately You wrote that You didn't modify any connectors info...

So - what did you do??

 

May be somebody can help me - my information is here..

Mac OS 10.7.4

https://dl.dropbox.c...00.0200.vga.rom

https://dl.dropbox.c...6470_radeon.txt

https://dl.dropbox.c...470_redsock.txt

 

Any other framebuffers except Pithecia do not give the both VGA and LVDS working...

I tried to copy the Pithecia to Osmunda and run - but it do not recognise the VGA - is there any other change should be done to create the copy of Pithecia framebuffer but not only copying the connectors info?

 

SUCCESS

 

6650M on Acer Aspire 7750G working on internal LVDS with QE/CI enabled

 

 

I had installed the trucker provided boot and ATI6000 controller next and attacked this last one with an hex editor (hex fiend) I located the numbers sequence of LVDS connector provided by trucker in a previous post and substituted it for the numbers sequence used by bux-booga. This was the magic trick. After this I have a perfect working, functional and graphically accelerated system.

 

 

Ok, let's make it clear. My kexts are all with transmitter/encoder 20/01 because that's the only way LVDS was working without bux_booga's dsdt patch. For those who want to use the dsdt patch with my kexts ( I am using it), transmitter/encoder must be changed to 10/01 and the name of the framebuffer in dsdt from Osmunda to Ipomoea, otherwise it's not working. I will update by tomorrow night all kexts, with my Ipomoea personality and bux_booga's Osmunda personality ( if i have his permission) for 2 install methods, with and without dsdt patch, all in one kext.

About the VGA extended desktop: It was working fine for me with transmitter/encoder 20/01 and the hotplug IDs i used, LVDS 00, HDMI 04, VGA 01, but I haven't tested yet with the dsdt patch and transmitter/encoder 10/01.

Hi, I haven't tried on 10.8. You can try now again on 10.7.3 with Chimera + ATI6000Controller.kext or ATY_init.kext + ATI6000Controller.kext. for 10.7.3. For the next few days i wont be around, i can't use my data plan on roaming, too expensive. I guess my 6650M is working the best, even Pentahex said that sometimes have black screen or "double vision" effect, i think he has also the one with 1 GB. Another user having 6650M with 2 GB RAM is having the same issues. I never got black screen, only few times "double vision" effect.

Edit. I believe that i can make this Ipomoea Personality ( or some other) even better but that will be after 2 months when i'll be at home and can test HDMI and VGA also. I don't have those in my truck, yet :P

Good, so You need to find the correct configuration for the LVDS.

 

 

I never got EDID picked up without editing connector info for LVDS in ATI6000Controller.kext + GE=Yes / DSDT (PEGP) Patch

 

 

Changed:

Framebuffer name, because i'm using Ipomoea in ATI6000Controller.kext, bux_booga is using Osmunda, also VRAM size need to be changed accordingly and some other, you can compare below. (Crucial from here is the "Dual link" Patch, to have proper sleep function) Without the Dual Link Patch i am using transmitter 20 for LVDS (No sleep/wake), with the Dual Link Patch, i use transmitter 10 for LVDS and i get the sleep/wake function.

 

Added:

- A lot, but most of it it's just cosmetics. As i said, "ATI,bin_image" was crucial. Adding it to my PEGP + ATI6000Controller.kext with modified Ipomoea (LVDS transmitter 10) I got OS X to recognize my 6650M without GE=Yes and i have proper sleep/wake on my 7750G (and others, nai22, P.Gpunkt, E.Miller) on 10.7.0, 10.7.2, 10.7.3, 10.7.4, 10.8. with my kexts and my PEGP patch.

Trucker , really appreciate you taking the time to help, particularly in putting that last post together.

Just have to get to grips with it now.

I had assumed that my modified lvds connector was correct and that the black screen was because of edid, but i'll look at that again now first.

I'm not familiar with some of the dsdt edits you have but i'll work my way thru your's and see how I get on.

 

Not sure about these ATY edits. Can I just copy these from yours or do i need to edit to suit my dsdt?

 

 

"ATY,PlatformInfo"

"ATY,MemRevisionID"

"AAPL,EMC-Display-List"

"ATY,MemRevisionID"

"ATY,bin_image" .....YOU GAVE ME ALREADY

 

 

 

 

Thanks again.Will get to work on this now.

There were 2 ways to make the 6650M work before the DSDT solution. Chameleon GE + ATI6000Controller.kext and ATI_init.kext + ATI6000Controller.kext. The above information is collected from IORegistryExplorer when i was using this two methods and implemented into the PEGP (which i created from few generic samples that i found here and there, than combined, added, removed and changed some stuff).

 

"ATY,bin_image" .....YOU GAVE ME ALREADY

This matters, others i think not. This is your VBIOS converted into DSDT code. I could try without the others an see how it goes, but i don't have my laptop fixed yet. Focus on finding the correct connector info for LVDS, that's the most important, after that, you can move on with other things.

Dear trucker and miller,

 

After 7 days of blood, sweat and tears (even accidentally formatting my ssd), I finally found the thread I was looking for. I have the Acer Aspire 7750G-2634G64mnkk with the Ati Radeon 6650m, 1GB. With the DSDT provided by Trucker and the Ati6000 controller by Miller, my hackintosh boots with full graphics. Now, my haskintosh is complete, as everything (really everything) works perfectly. Therefore I would like to thank everyone who helped creating this package for the gpu. THANK YOU! I'm extremely happy, that I can finally get to work with my hackintosh.

 

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you!

 

You made my month :)

 

Basaa

 

P.S. Thanks!
