Wallstreet Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Need some help with this one.

Wallstreet Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Programs like mouse locater or ones used to correct mouse tearing No, there's no mouse tearing. The mouse works fine on one screen and is just not visible at all on the second. It works, but it's invisible. A guy above had the same problem, but I don't quite understand what I'm supposed to do with the data that I get from ioreg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works, but it's invisible. A guy above had the same problem, but I don't quite understand what I'm supposed to do with the data that I get from ioreg. What I did with the ioreg output was to modify the Natit plist with PlistEdit Pro (I think the dev pack somes with a plist editor too). I found the EDID under nvida and I replaced these with the values. So, in your case, set the first one to (SHOULD BE ONE LINE): 00f5054bfef808180714f010101010101010101010101302a009851002a4030701300520e1100 001e000000fd00384b1e510e000a202020202020000000fc0053796e634d61737465720a20200000 00ff0048344a584131313232390a2020002 Then set the second EDID to (SHOULD BE ONE LINE): 00f5054bfef808180714f010101010101010101010101302a009851002a4030701300520e1100 001e000000fd00384b1e510e000a202020202020000000fc0053796e634d61737465720a20200000 00ff0048344a584131313232390a2020002 I see the values look the same. Are the monitors you have an identical model? If not and it doesn't work, try this one for one of the monitors: 00ffffffffffff0010ac09e04c543235060f0103ee2b1b78ea0195a3574c9c25125054a54b008 180714f0101010101010101010101017c2e90a0601a1e4030203600b20e1100001a000000ff00543 63133303532393532544c0a000000fd00384b1e530e000a202020202020000000fc0044454c4c203 23030354650570a00e6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the values look the same. Are the monitors you have an identical model? If you look closely at the four EDID values that Wallstreet posted, three are different - the first and third are the same, but the first, second and fourth are different. Would imply he has three different monitors. Or something else is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciber Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I just got a GeForce 7900GS from Best Buy and stumbled into getting dual display to work. I thought it was already working for this card so I purchased it. Guess it's time i take a trip down to best buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revert Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Ok, extended desktop works perfectly from cold boot. Reboot and second display is upside down. Detect monitors doesn't work, both monitors black out. Haven't edited the Natit plist yet, not sure about the EDID numbers i'm getting from the ioreg dump. Both numbers are the same though i'm using differnt monitors. | | | | | "EDID" = <00f5054bfef808180714f010101010101010101010101302a009851002a4030701300520e1100 01e000000fd00384b1e510e000a202020202020000000fc0053796e634d61737465720a202000000 ff0048344a584131313232390a2020002> | | | | | "IODisplayEDID" = <00ffffffffffff00226440192e0000001710010380261e78ea71d6a256499624134f54afcf808 80310a31ca614c0000000000000000302a009851002a4030701300782d1100001e000000fd00384b f510e000a202020202020000000ff0020202020202020202020202020000000fc004843313934440 2020202020200000> | | | | | "EDID" = <00f5054bfef808180714f010101010101010101010101302a009851002a4030701300520e1100 01e000000fd00384b1e510e000a202020202020000000fc0053796e634d61737465720a202000000 ff0048344a584131313232390a2020002> | | | | | "IODisplayEDID" = <00ffffffffffff004c2da30037315947010e01036c221b782a36a1a2594c9724175156bfef008 8f614f454f31400101010101010101302a009851002a4030701300520e1100001e000000fd00384b e510e000a202020202020000000fc0053796e634d61737465720a2020000000ff0048394e5831303 3434350a202000c7> Displays.tiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunriis Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I've tried this against both 10.4.7 and 10.4.8 with a Mobility X1600. Both times I got the same result. I end up with my monitor connected to my external port showing black and purple vertical stripes for a few seconds and then black screen, my laptop screen goes directly to black screen (I suspect it just can't display whatever mode it flips into for a few seconds) this occurs after the apple with the spinning logo has finished. Anybody have any ideas for me? I've the same problem moreless, with same video card using NeoPheus installer I tried to install it manually, with various versions of Natit.kext (auto and modified) and various versions of ATI kexts (from neopheus 3.6 or from the originals from jas 10.4.8 dvd) I experienced different results, but I never could boot the system (except in -s mode of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shmk Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I have basically tried every method possible to get Natit, Ati.inject, boris to install on my system but nothing seems to work at all. It will boot up fine but there is tons of distortion onscreen. When I boot up in -v I see that "display family specific" whatever that is always fails might this be my problem? I have a crt monitor but I have an adapter and am running it through the dvi port as the vga port was even worse. Any ideas? My system specs are in my signature. Just reinstalled natit and took the ATINDRV.kext from my previous installation, booted up I don't have any distortion but I still don't have any choice in terms of resolution etc ATI Radeon X1600 Series: Chipset Model: ATI Radeon X1600 Series Type: Display Bus: PCIe VRAM (Total): 256 MB Vendor: ATI (0x1002) Device ID: 0x71c2 Revision ID: 0x0000 Displays: Display: Resolution: 1024 x 768 Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Not Supported Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Not Supported Display: I also noticed on the boot up that the device ID it loaded (looked like it loaded to me) was a different sequence that the profiler says.

VasH Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 If anyone wants to experiment with this plist, you are welcome to. Please report your findings. My theory would be that people with dual DVI shouldn't have problems since both ports are digital ... but I could be wrong. I've tried your plist and i've got a strange result: If I put in the plist the EDID of mine two monitors i get one monitor working (vga) and the other one with cloned images. And in System Profiler i get only one monitor connected, as usually. If I leave your EDID, I get blurry images on the monitor connected to vga, while the other one goes sleep. But checking in System Profiler, it shows two monitors connected. I really can't understand this Just reinstalled natit and took the ATINDRV.kext from my previous installation, booted up I don't have any distortion but I still don't have any choice in terms of resolution etcATI Radeon X1600 Series: Add the device id of your card (0x71c21002) to ATIRadeonX1000.kext, if you haven't already done it.

gaucho Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 If I put in the plist the EDID of mine two monitors i get one monitor working (vga) and the other one with cloned images. And in System Profiler i get only one monitor connected, as usually. If I leave your EDID, I get blurry images on the monitor connected to vga, while the other one goes sleep. VaSH, maybe your EDID is for an analog monitor (not digital DVI), and that's why you don't get dual. I explained earlier that if I put my CRTs (analog) EDID in the plist, on the LVDS port, I loose dual. But if I put the digital LCDs EDID there, I get dual. Regarding your black screen, it is probably a timing/re/frequency issue. So just choose a different resolution for the balcked out monitor. And you will ask ... how do I do that if the Display Prefs window "appears" inside the blacked out monitor ... Well, activate the menubar option in Display Preferences (Show in menubar checkbox), and you will be able to choose rez for both monitors from the main one, even if you can't see the other one. That's how you will get it all working ... I think. Let me know. BTW, the blurry is what I cannot fix, and you should read my previous posts/theories about it.
