Rampage Dev Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 By the way, I'm assuming GraphicsEnabler=No still needs to be set in the boot plist after getting this to work? I'm basically putting my weekend towards this. First see my guide here: http://rampagedev.wordpress.com/2012/12/04/about-amd-7970-working-with-full-qe/ GraphicEnabler is a function in which the Bootloader injects the necessary information for Mac OS X to initialize the GPU. This is a dirty method and should only be used when first setting up a system prior to editing the DSDT. DSDT injection is the proper way of permanently enabling your GPU. Using any type of boot flags is never a good idea long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tofagerl Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Exactly. I actually knew that Got the system up again after installation now. Everything but DSDT, and of course I'm leaving 10.8.3 till last and taking a CCC backup this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k3nny Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Rampage Dev, you seem to have some experience with ATI cards. Is it possible to fix the cold boot bug or is there no other option than to hope for drivers changes in the 10.8.3 final? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sea_man Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 I suspect our problem is not the same cold boot bug like the 69** series.. because if i boot first win and later osx.. it don't work without the sleep trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rampage Dev Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I don't understand your guide, Rampage... Is there another guide somewhere? Its very straight forward. Just copy and paste as shown in the Video I posted. Rampage Dev, you seem to have some experience with ATI cards.

tofagerl Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Easy for you to say, you know a lot more than I do about this stuff But I am going to try again. This time I'll ignore the guide and follow the video, which is a lot less confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Dev Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 The guide is the video and nothing more. I repeat step by step what is provided in the guide and there is no difference. Just slow down and take the time to READ. Its how I learned how to do these type of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tofagerl Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I did, but I got these errors the last time as well: The line number points to the device ID which I changed. It just looks like this: Buffer (0x04) { 0x9A, 0×67, 0×00, 0×00 }, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just looks like this: Buffer (0x04) { 0x9A, 0×67, 0×00, 0×00 }, Thats because you just copied and pasted in the number from the post. Compile before you change things then change it by hand.

tofagerl Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I kid you not, that makes it 32 errors instead of 4. That could be because the first error is now fixed and a ton of other errors are then found of course. (Pretty standard for compilation errors in my experience. Fix that one missing semicolon, and a {censored}storm comes your way) Edit: New errors point to an already existing GFX0, which is correct... I'm going to upload my existing DSDT, if you could have a look at it that'd be great. Note that this is the unedited version, pre-7000-series. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/117580/DSDT.aml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderbolt Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Hey this is nice that you getting full functionality on the 7970. I have tried the ATI7000 controller on my 7750 but hehe with a white screen. Is it not possible for non-developers to receive the Beta ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can not just install drivers like you did because there a frameworks and other files missing. What you did is what I call noob bait. No you must be a developer.

I do have a developer id but that is without any certification, i.e I have not yet paid to get the certificate as I am not actually a developer/ programmer but just to create an id.

eep357 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Technically, you need to have a paid developer account. $100.00 per year. There are no development police to make sure you've developed something recently or are a competent developer working on the next great blockbuster app. Good thing because some of us develop slowly. Or develop for a slightly different core audience, and not for the main stream or the Mac App Store. BTW, for those with already fully working 7xxx except for the need to "sleep trick" I started a new topic to give a place to share any developments on this issue, and maybe help work towards a fix, or any other relevant cool stuff. It is not a help thread. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285756-hd-7xxx-can-we-eliminate-the-sleep-trick/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
