i installed it and now it's working properly, haven't checked CI and QE yet, first time i got some black screens with some white boxes but after a couple of hard resets and booting in safe mode it stoped, but when i thought it was fixed the screen was upside-down, but after a restart it came normal.... crazy

While dm continues his work on Natit, I would like to share the plist I am using to get dual display support from Natit. It will work with the ATI Autodetect version, ATINDRV 4.5-4.7 (If I use 4.8, I get cloned image), IONDRVSupport 4.5 (couldnt get 4.8 to work with my x1600, blue screen), and all ATIRadeonX1000* from 4.8, with only the deviceid change in ATIRadeonX1000.kext

 

You should install it in Natit (could use my script, just rename this plist to natit_info.plist and place it in /backup/natit, considering you have run nu with write or edit once so it initializes). The problem I have with this dual display is that since the LVDS, EDID entry points to my VGA port (port0), I get blurry screen. My theory is that LVDS imposes a digital signal, that the VGA connection can't handle and thus I get the problem. Now, I also cannot put my CRTs (the one that is connected to the VGA port) EDID because I loose dual display. Like it checks and if the EDID belongs to an analog monitor, it won't work. Thus I use my LCDs EDID for the time being. That is easy to solve, by just getting me (or editing one, Im looking into that) an EDID from an LCD (digital) that does the rez/refresh I want from my CRT which would ideally be 1024x768@80hz.

 

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.

 

EDIT: I copied the attached versions of Natit to the first post so it easier to find. ~bofors

 

Hi guys,

 

gaucho i install your plist and work for me, but i have same problens:

 

my analogic display have a flicker

image and is inverted whit DVI. (in display preferences DVI is showed VGA and VGA is showed DVI)

thanks

 

edit attach is my regs, maby help...

I got Natit working with my Radeon mobility v5200 by changing instances of "Alopias" to "Wormy" in the Info.plist, but I cannot figure how to get my internal LCD working! I got my EDID, but I dont know where i can insert it in the Info.plist. Can anyone give me some help, it would be MUCH appreciated!

 

my thinkpad t60p would be fully working! ;)

 

Thanks,

Great News: I now have for testing a Gigabyte X1600 Pro SilentPipe 2 in my system. It works great: Xbench shows over 170%! Full CI/QE and mode changing, no artefacts or mouse tearing.

 

I had to use the borisbadenow patch to get the card working. It has the IDs 71c2/71e2 and had no QE/CI without patching (also no intro video). I didnt need to patch my old MSI RX1600XT which had the IDs 71c0/71e0 , but it was not possible to get gfx mode selection without losing QE/CI and I had mouse tearing and artefacts.

 

But now the problems: If I install Natit (X1600 patched) driver, I can't get to to the desktop, the rotating apple logo hangs. Installing NeoPheus universal beta patch I get a kernel panic, using 10.4.7 system. I didn't get it with my old MSI RX1600XT card, also on a 10.4.7 system. Its not too bad if I wouldn't have no dual monitor, the card runs great anyway. But it would be nice :)

 

One for sure: I really can recommend the Gigabyte X1600 Pro SilentPipe 2 (Type: GV-RX16P256DE-RH). It's a really perfect working card. I maybe try to reflash my MSI with the Gigabyte's BIOS, maybe it works better then, too.

 

Happy greetings from the Other Side!

Does any one recognize this type of error? I get the screen, support, but

the screen looks like it is displaying for a monitor which is larger than mine....

10.4.8 JaS

NATIT with LVDS,EDID entry for my monitor

ATINDRV.kext 10.4.5 (10.4.8 would freeze)

FireGL 5200 (x1600 core) 0x71c4

Things work perfectly smothly, but just streched in a wierd manner.

Latest Semthex Kernel

T60p

How does one set the frequency?

 

I am so close to having full support.

 

Big thanks to the dev team.

hey, Amuraivel,

 

how did you get your internal display working with Natit? thanks in advance.

it's not directed to the insult of programmers which are engaged in creation Natit,

and it's no blame anyone (exept ATI)

 

it's just think aloud.

 

Yep, Great! It is so much pleasure here, so many succes stories, so many pride and glory.

but, what about people with earlier cards (i mean Xxxx PCI-EX [not AGP =) ] ),

we still have nothing here

in fact, cards Xxxx works not much more slowly than X1xxx (in fact these almost same --> the big ATI-{censored} cheating),

and it's a little rather early to bury them alive ;)

afterall it is not clear, how there was possible such devil-may-care attitude to users which got the devices a little earlier, (just in days of 10.4.3 (summer --> fall of 2005) actually)

these people still a part of community, or already behind a board?

has passed more then year, but no any progress (exept stripes, pitch blacked screen and lots of blah-blah-blah).

Thank You! Great Work!

 

also it is not necessary to react at a level of an elementary school, like "try to make it by yourself",

not all in this world programmers and hackers, what a shame :twisted:

I have a couple of questions about Natit:

 

1) Which other kexts does Natit rely on? I have removed all ATI kexts (rm ATI* from Extensions folder) and would need to know which to add back.

 

2) Has anyone tried Natit on a Thinkpad T60p with a Mobility x1300?

 

Thanks for any answers.

I'm using Natit_ATIauto.kext with my x1300pro... both are displaying the same picture, but I can't get my second monitor into Extended mode.

 

Is where something I need to do?

 

EDIT: Nevermind, now on the second boot, Natit doesn't work (both displays {censored} out).

Thanks for the report, Billy!

However, I need testers for NVidia cards too! Would be perfect!

Good here is one beta tester, i tried your uni 1.0 on my agp 6600gt and after installing and rebooting i was looking at a black screen :(

(10.4.7 + semtex sse2 B9 kernal)

 

So i guess the experiment failed.

 

Is there any change on a better version? I only ati users. Was there ever someone who got a working 128mb 6600gt? i never saw one.

Just wanted to thank everyone here, especially wallstreet, for there help. After it was explained to me I got my Sapphire x1900xtx working perfectly. I haven't tried dual DVI yet but I'm sure it probably works. Thanks again, it's hard for those of us who have been admins on windows systems for so long to instantly grasp how things work on a mac.

 

Thanks Again

Hi,

 

I am using natit_edited (used normal natit installer and copied natit_edited kext file over the original one, was that right???) and it works perfectly with my 7300GS. DVI and VGA connected to same monitor shows both connections in system info. I get native resolution in dvi. Everything seems so perfect but no QE, no CI????? I also tried original natit: Finds only one connection but also no QE/CI. Titan works with QE/CI and DVI but after restart DVI is gone and signal is only on the VGA out.

Any ideas how to get QE/CI with my current titan_edited working? I manually pasted 0x01df10de into the pcimatch string in the titan.kext. No difference.

 

 

Any help apprecciated!

 

Steffen

Yo, I might have some useful dumps to make this mobility thing keep going!

I managed to write a shell script which dumps the ioreg to a file when the GUI starts (and the screen goes blaaack..)

 

to be precise, these are the steps:

 

step 1: creating a file like dumpall.sh.command

 

#! /bin/sh
ioreg -l -w0 >> ioregALL.txt

 

step 2: in terminal : chmod +x dumpall.sh.command

 

step 3: adding script to System Preferences / Accounts / Login Items

 

first of all, i am testing ATIinject now, but will post Natit results later too.

this is how ATIinject was set up for my mobility x1400:

Hi,

 

I am using natit_edited (used normal natit installer and copied natit_edited kext file over the original one, was that right???) and it works perfectly with my 7300GS. DVI and VGA connected to same monitor shows both connections in system info. I get native resolution in dvi. Everything seems so perfect but no QE, no CI????? I also tried original natit: Finds only one connection but also no QE/CI. Titan works with QE/CI and DVI but after restart DVI is gone and signal is only on the VGA out.

Any ideas how to get QE/CI with my current titan_edited working? I manually pasted 0x01df10de into the pcimatch string in the titan.kext. No difference.

Any help apprecciated!

 

Steffen

 

finally I fixed it following this guide http://forum.insanelymac.com/lofiversion/i...php/t34244.html

 

never mind
