[HOW TO] Make Radeon {Desktop or Mobility} be working by using Clover

[Antonio92]

I have searched through the forum and found some posts but nothing with an answer. I see a lot of posts regarding Mobility Radeon HD 4xxx, however I couldn't find if there is any way to get ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 with QE/CI working. My exact device is 1002:95C4. Is it any way?

 

I tried an old framebuffer (RadeonHD.kext) and I get 1280x800 resolution but no external monitors working and of course no QE/CI at all.

 

Thanks

People said HD3xxx works only in OSX 10.5.8.

Does it work with QE/CI well in 10.5.8? How?

How about HD 8530M? Im going to buy a laptop with Intel HD 4000 and HD 8530M and I cant find any guide, any kext for HD 8000M series. If there's a kext for it, will it work on dual vga laptop, or I must disable it like nVidia optimus laptop?

 

Sorry for English.

You will be pathfinder for the card.

I think 8000M is actually 7000.

Hi Slice, I hope you can help me.

I have an HP G62 with ATi Radeon HD5470M.

The problem is that neither HDMI nor VGA works.

 

I decoded my video bios (extracted from AIDA64) with radeon_bios_decoder and redsock_bios_decoder.

So I patched the connectors in this way:

HDMI:

00 08 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 11 02 01 03

 

VGA:

Connector Type 10  00  00  00

Features 00  01

Sense ID 01

 

10 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 10 02 01

 

I added the connector data in Clover's configuration file and I set the framebuffer to 'Hoolock'.

I set DualLink on 0, Inject/ATI on true and InjectEDID, LoadVBios and PatchVBios on true. I set the CustomEDID data with the EDID token from Windows.

 

Here are my config.plist and my VBIOS.

@giofrida

I think you did all correct.

I may propose additionally check if do the same with FB Alouatta that is initially for mobile unlike Hoolock.

And I think VGA 10 00 is not very good. You may use DVI-I instead ( 00 02 ). 

[giofrida]

I tried it but I get the same issues as before. There aren't any changes.

Hi Slice I'm new to this forum and I have installed Mavericks on my Vaio Vpc EB with ATI Radeon HD 5650m but it's not working can u give me a way to fix that ?

The way written in the topic.

 

Hey guys,

No report - no answer.

[giofrida]

What namely did you try?

 

Well, I changed the framebuffer from Hoolock to Alouatta. Then I changed the ATIConnectorsData with Alouatta's personality.

 

Rebooted.. no changes at all: HDMI and VGA don't work.

 

Then I tried changing VGA (10 00) to DVI-I (00 02).

 

Rebooted: OS X's GUI flickered. HDMI and VGA don't work.

But may be  you didn't inject your graphics at all? I don't see what you do as I don't see your report.

also Ati mobility Radeon 3470 on Vaio Fw works with this trick? Thanks

[Slice]

Radeon 3xxx works only in OS 10.5.8.

[Antonio92]

People said yes.

Who said yes? I can find nothing.

[Slice]

Who said yes? I can find nothing.

People said that such cards HD3xxx may probably works only on 10.5.8.

But I found nothing about Mobility HD3470.

As for me I did an OpenGL even on MobilityRadeon9000IGP in 10.4.11 but this is a very complex story.

Hello, I have a question and if someone is kind enough to answer.

My laptop is Dell Studio XPS 1640 |c2d P8700 , Mobility Radeon 4670.

With clover I managed to get QE/CI working, and displays correctly on external monitor (D-SUB) , haven't tried HDMI.

The problem is with the LVDS, giving me displaced like pixels.Setting dual-link managed to get me correct resolution and display on LVDS but still displaced pixels like in the image below.I use shrike FB but and injected EDID that I got from windows but the issue persists.I think is something related to patching the connectors but I don't know how to do that.Can someone give me a detailed guide of how to do this.If yes whats the format of editing the config.plist in clover or org.chameleon.Boot.plist with the patched info.Here's the displaced pixels image I get on LVDS.My LVDS resolution is 1600x900.

smth is wrong with encoder, try to set encoder value in VGA or LVDS personality to 00

[applehacker]

Will this work with the Mobility 7970M? I tried doing this before, but it would never load the GUI/get past verbose. ID natively exists in AMD7000controller (0x6800)

I have a Firepro M6100, which apparently is Saturn XT making it similar to the HD 8950M.

I've tried injecting all sorts of stuff, but I don't get working acceleration.  If I use a fake id of a card which is contained in the kexts, it just never loads a GUI on any monitor.

 

I have been trying mainly Pondweed for the fb name.  Any suggestion what I should try next?  I've basically done nothing but change around clover settings, but with no success.

 

I'm not even entirely convinced the kexts are loaded, as I see nothing ATI related in the verbose output.

 

Edit: Actually, I think they are loading, but I don't get past the verbose screen.  If I just put the ID in the kext and don't inject AMD, I get a kernel panic.

 

Edit: Problem solved.  The card isn't supported in Mavericks. Have to wait for Yosemite.

Hey,

If you said that you've tried all then what answer did you expect? Something else then all?

I think you should be more specific.

[duraaraa]

Hey,

Ok.  I will be more specific.  Now, I have more details.

When trying to inject this card using Mavericks, it injects the value into AMD7000Controller.kext and AMDRadeonX4000.kext.  When booting, regardless of framebuffer name choice, we get this output:

 

Couldn't alloc class "AMDBonaireGraphicsAccelerator"

 

I found someone with the Radeon 7790 had the same problem, and I found out that the new AMD kexts in 10.10 apparently supported the 7790 out of the box.  Well, I tried these kexts on 10.9 (I know there will not be working 3d) and I got a working desktop for a fraction of a second, then a black screen.  The external monitors also turn on, but with a black screen.  If I can get that far I'm sure I can make it work with 10.10 in the end. I think I need to use a different framebuffer or customize the framebuffer.  I tried only 'Baladi'.

 

 

Of course, my preference would be to have this work on 10.9 but I think it's not possible.  If you can think of a way to get it working on 10.9 without using kexts from 10.10, don't hesitate to let me know!

 

 

Edit: Using Baladi fb, I can get output from displayport, but nothing else.  So I think I'll need to patch this to make LVDS and HDMI work, as well as VGA.  I will try to learn more about doing this.

 

Edit: I have found a driver for newer AMD cards, maybe modified from 10.10 and backported, on another forum.  I will try this tonight and see if I can make it work.
