Radeon R9 270X framebuffer issue

[kjessec]

 

@kjessec Here's your connector patch:

000400000403000000010000120401010004000004030000000100002205020200080000040200000001000011020303000200000402000000010000100004060002000004020000000100000010050604000000140200000001000021030605

Use framebuffer IkuraS, target AMD7000Controller. Here's the connector data:

Hi vusun123,

 

With these codes I am having a massive progress! HDMI works out of this card, I get full signal and stuff.. but only HDMI. DP outputs a completely black screen after the apple logo.

 

Since I'm using this monitor U28D590D which requires DP to work its 100% potential, I guess I need DP to work correctly. 

 

Would modifying either of data according to the docs (thisone: http://rampagedev.wordpress.com/kext-editing/editing-atiamd-framebuffer-personality/) enable DP to work?

 

 

Many Thanks,

 

Jesse

Is this your card ? If so then I will revise it:

http://www.powercolor.com/global/products_features.asp?id=484#Specification

Some information is crucial such as dual link or single link dvi

Hi,

 

My card is this one: http://www.powercolor.com/global/products_features.asp?id=524

 

It features one single link and one dual link DVIs.

Ok, try these connector patches ( don't know why it shows 2 DP ports instead of 1, but we will play along )

Hi, 

 

Thank you again for your time. Unfortunately none of these patches enabled DP to work. I'm starting to think maybe it's my monitor? Given that HDMI works (tho capped at 1080p, I guess there are workarounds)

 

On Windows it works fine at 3840x2160@60Hz.

 

I found it a little odd too that it shows 2 DPs.

 

 

Many Thanks as always

Try this: unplug the monitor on the DP port, boot OS X, when it's done, plug it back ( try all previous connector patches too )

Edit: gathering windows may be needed

Just tried this with all patches and no luck. OSX doesn't even recognise something is attached to DP port according to system report (it doesn't report the 2nd monitor)

 

Also "gathering windows" you mean the thing in syspref > display when multiple monitors are attached? I don't have that option as OSX doesn't recognise the display as a 2nd monitor...

 

 

Many Thanks as always

Hold command or option ( dunno, or alt or windows button if you have windows style keyboard in syspref > display, it will show )

This is how I got the VGA port to work in one of my lappy under the signature

Hmm... holding down command/option gives me "Detect Displays" but not gathering windows. and it doesn't do much either.

 

Argh!

Then again, try booting with the DP monitor only ( unplug the HDMI monitor )

DP only gives black screen after apple logo. I may have a really funky variation of R9 270x -.- Hmm....

No no, maybe the connector patch is wrong. I will take a look at it later, time to sleep ( 1AM here )

Just been experimenting with FBname, and I have successfully booted into Desktop using Ikura (not IkuraS) as framebuffer.

 

However I only have 1080p as maxres, I'm not sure if it's GPU fault or what, guess I will try to do EDID edit and stuff. Will have more experiments, and report.

 

Many Thanks

Solved! I don't know why, but using Ebi as FBname worked. Fully recognised as 4k.

 

Many Thanks!

[joe75]

FYI, the S frambuffers are specifically meant for dual cards in the MP6,1 and not the correct FB for any of us to be using..

[vusun123]

Thanks for pointing that out. Use the DVI fixed patches with framebuffer OPM then. Here's OPM's connector data

000400000403000000010001110201010004000004030000000100012103020200040000040300000001000112040303000400000403000000010001220504040004000004030000000100011000050500040000140300000001000120010606

FYI, I have an ASUS R9 270 card and Dual 27" monitor with 2560x1440 (they work perfectly under Win8.1)  that I've been experimented with

I'm current running OSX Yosemite beta2. What I did was modified the info.plist as describe here

[R9 270 users will need to manually insert device id number 0x68111002 in to info.plist files inside AMD7000Controller.kext & AMDRadeon4000X.kext] 

And the frame buffer that is used Fotomaki/Hamachi

The result so far is that: HDMI, and the two DVI-D work @ 2560x1440 individually with the trick that the other monitor must be unplug. If both monitors are plug in the HDMI drop to 1080p and the other monitor go black even the other monitor was turn off!

Unfortunately I didn't test DP port since I don't have monitor that can do DP.

Has any one have success with Dual monitor working perfectly?

[joe75]

I have the 270 also as seen in sig. I have a problem with window sever crashing randomly when using any of the main FB's with dual screens, it will not crash with only one monitor. I have been using RadeonFramebuffer to fix the issue. Everything works as it should with RadeonFramebuffer and i have even gotten higher fps at times. Some people might complain that the card is not detected correctly with RadeonFramebuffer because they see system profiler showing Radeon HD 7xxx but they don't understand that the name Radeon 2xx is actually being injected and set by their boot managers and changes nothing about how the card is performing.

The FPS is likely related to AGPM you know ? I don't mind the Radeon HD 7xxx name though, as my R9-280X also shows up like that in the System Profile. A simple mod and it shows as MSI Radeon R9-280X

[Fárr Vince]

Hi. For me doesn't work, after I run the installer what you placed there, and I restaart, i have 6MB of memory. The system preferences shows the R9 270x but no 2048 MB, only 6!!

What I need to do?

[VirusX]

are you using a DSDT edit or clover inject? You should also put your specs in your signature.

[joe75]

since all these cards have the same output configurations its worth noting that NO custom FB is needed for DVI/HDMI outs and unlike 6xxx cards and under there is no additional problems from using RadeonFramebuffer as the selected FB. This means no patching at all for 270X users and only Dev.ID needed for 270 users.

Okay, i've got two displays connected now but i keep getting these annoying flashes on one of the displays so something is still not right. Any ideas what this might be ?

 

**EDIT**

 

I'm also noticing hickups/freezes in the graphics. These are moments when the system just freezes for just a second or two.

 

**EDIT 2 **

 

Fixed the hickups by using GraphicsEnabler=Yes in Chameleon v2.2svn r2377. Now the card is deteced as AMD Radeon HD 7xxx though. For now a working solution without hickups for me. 2nd screen is still buggy but will keep trying to fix this.

 

Hi, I have the same problem as you. My equipment is as follows: 

 

Saphire Vapor-2g x 270x 

I5 4670k 

H87m-D3H 

 

I have updated to 10.9.5 mac, install the version 1.7 installer and go black screen after the apple. Put GraphicsEnabler "Yes", was formerly at no. Now starts but says yes Radeon HD 7xxx as before. I need your help. Thank you

[joe75]

ok.. I was wrong    Found an issue with using RadeonFramebuffer. 24Hrz doesn't not work with it. Hard crash of window sever and the system is unresponsive until its able to start again.

 

This is the only problem I have found so far and probably wouldn't be a factor for most users..

Hey,

 

I'm having the mouse "lag" issue. It's more than just lagging, the mouse stops working every 5 seconds or so will be unresponsive for a couple of seconds then "teleport" randomly across the screen.

 

I've done this installation twice and the issue happened both times right after installing the drivers.

 

My system is using Ga-h87m-d3h / i5 4670 / Sapphire dual X 270x

 

Put "GraphicsEnabler" to "YES", now says Radeon HD 7xxx, problems mouse and video are not, but does not work as it should work. Thank you
