MattsCreative Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Seems you're one of the minority who didn't have any issues. I experienced issues too with some apps and games (crashing on the GL or D3D part of AMD Driver ). --- I'm running PB4 now and can report that my monitor on DVI (sorry folks, I only have one monitor and that's one on DVI) does not need to be re-plugged on boot (finally ). If you need anything, please shout I haven't seen posts of PB4 yet. In my country it launched today, because I just installed Works with ONE monitor very good without ANY patches on Clover or kext side never had issues cause there is no issues people dont know to fix issues is all and i do my 290x has been flawless and gm 1 two monitors working oob with framebuffer loaded without any patches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a professional IT Engineer and all I can say is that on my work I have way more AMD drivers that go corrupt than nVidia (I really like AMD, so this is not a flame war, just the facts I come across with). So there has to be some stability loss in AMD's drivers (my conclusion). I also had an issue with the AMD Control panel, that, when you shutdown Windows, you get a weird .NET 4 error saying that AMD control panel had an error and this had nothing to do with Windows. If I remove the drivers, it was working fine (on default windows drivers). --- Anyway, I did a cold boot and then I need to re-plug it (only on cold boot). Reboot works fine though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reboot works fine though never had any of those issues before cause i always clean out on driver set before installing another and if a issue pops up i fix it simple as that just because you are trained in a job about tech doesnt mean you know everything about tech there is always more to learn like fan curves and driver repairs and clean slates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingray_454 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Any of you running your 290X on DisplayPort on the Baladi framebuffer? Earlier I had a DVI monitor and got Baladi working good with that, but now that I have swapped to a DP monitor, I just get hangs during boot.

randallphoto Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Not sure if it applies at all, but I'm still running the netkas package on 10.9.3 with a 290x. I'm using displayport with an apple cinema display and it works perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stingray_454 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I played with the framebuffers and DisplayPort a bit this weekend. Using Inject/ATI=false uses the default RadeonFramebuffer and everything works great, BUT i have the annoying problem that when the monitor is unplugged or turned off, the computer crashes. Tried to get the display working with the Baladi framebuffer to see if it made a difference, but I could only get it to work with graphic glitches and very odd resolution choices (1700x1100 or 950x600-something I think it was). Tried a lot of EDID tinkering together with a wide range of framebuffer edits for senseid / control flags / features, but sadly didn't get anywhere. Does anyone use Balade with DisplayPort without issues? Anyway, I think my issue is driver related. Works great on DVI or HDMI, but I need DP to drive my screen at 60hz, and when using DP I get a freeze when disconnecting the monitor. I noticed that this does not happen when I am connected to the computer with Screen Sharing. I suspect AMD's "feature" that turns off the gpu (more or less) when no monitors is connected can be the cause, and it keeps the gpu running when I use Screen Sharing. Anyone seen something similar, or has any ideas of a good way to fool the driver I have more screens connected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading something about that a long time ago from someone that was running a headless server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome Donkey Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Is the patch working for anyone else on Yosemite final? Was working good on beta 6 but now it seems to be broken.

chummdoggin Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 What about HDMI, DP and the other DVI-D ? I use only HDMI. Works good. Thanks much! Was having a hard time getting Baladi and a fake id at the same time. Was either no acceleration or no video.... was for the sake of audio. Will most likely have it working soon.

Awesome Donkey Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 vusun123, any ideas on how to get DVI-D working again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
