hey thanks for ioregs, also log's in singe user from imac24" will be big plus

 

and they do set card registry after all ...damn apple

 

Unfortunately, I can't get any ioreg dumps in single mode since posted ioreg files were obtained at an Apple store.

So, I think we need an assistance from an owner of iMac24".

 

Anyway, thanks and happy X-mas.

hmm "lappie" problem start to clean up

 

there is two factors "delta" not present in current lappies with NV

 

1: "built-in" property in pci nub ( telling driver is onboard chip )

2: backlight display ( that is internal LCD panel - iMac or laptop )

 

so why apple drivers don't work on latop internal LCD ?

simple - because drivers don't know that is internal LCD

even have no clue is nvchip on board

ie nv chip on laptops is seen and used as any nv card

problem n:1 - easy to "fix"

problem n:2 is the real problem

apple backlight display class look's for vendorID "apple" ( hard coded )

and that comes from EDID info

sure your laptop panels EDID report whatever vendor ID but apple

and that's real problem , all known apple internal display's info are in /System/Library/Displays/Overrides/DisplayVendorID-610/DisplayProduct9cXX

when EDID display info don't match , internal panel is seen as normal "generic display"

result = black screen

i seen only one solution for laptops

i2c interface, read proper LCD EDID , replace vendor/model header's with apple/close to most laptops model, and set as "@0,EDID" property

 

if this don't help - nothing will ...

start on i2c inerface already and other {censored} for laptops and when i have some done i will post here , i wish some one with latop to catch me at #macvidia channel so we can test this on fly

 

wish you all happy x-mas :)

Thank you for your hard work and information, _np.

 

Please shed light on our laptops.

This works great on my 7600GT AGP! Thanks for your work!

 

I only have one problem, dashboard crashes whenever I try to drop a new widget. Instead of making the ripple effect, the whole dashboard freezes for 15-20 seconds, in the better scenario, but most of the time it just crash the windowserver and I have to reset the computer. Does any one else experienced this issue?

 

CoreEndianFlipData: error -4940 returned for rsrc type DITL (id 432, length 282, native = no)

I have include my crash reporter log.

Did you get to the bottom of this joblo10? I have the same problem with a 7600GT, AMD 10.4.8 system.

Hi np_!

 

I'm willing to beta testa whatever you wish. I have an extra desktop system so I can do live testing on the lappy and still be able to chat with you on the irc. Please let me know when you are ready. Just drop me a message. My nick on the irc is fpb (or fpb_).

 

I have a question though... Do all laptops have i2c interface? Shouldn't you also query ACPI for the EDID information on systems without I2C interface?

 

Happy x-mas to you too!

Another Laptop x1600 mobility user...

 

Just a personal question to CYCLONEFR, cyclone could you pm me or post the atiInject kext you are using?

 

Maybe I can figure out some laptop stuff too...

 

Btw did your X1600 mobile has 256 or 512 mb ram?

 

I have a Clevo m570u with ich7-m x1600mob 2,16 coreduo 2gig ram, DVD drive is not working yet and the x1600 only has 1024 and qe ci.

nice job done so far pal! good one :(

 

btw for a mobility version i dont think we can expect one till ATIinject needs EDID to be injected and EDID depends on each notebook monitor...the only way to have a "universal" mobility driver is that someone like omni provides a EDID detection at startup like callisto was doing.

please test NVidiaEFI

 

it's set EDID and most missing key's for laptops

 

before use it , remove any titan or natit

 

for test please detach any external display's connected, just laptop LCD :)

 

test, report

 

thanks

Hi np_

sounds good!

I have a question: Does it set the EDID automaticly? If yes could it be possible to port it for ATI or maybe both? Just like a Titan/Natit with EDID detection?

Would be great!!

 

Thanks

I hate to report a negative result but, it didn't work for my Sony Vaio :(

 

I removed natit.kext first and drop in the nvidiaEFI.kext and gave permission and cleared the cache, reboot.

Also disconnected the external display.

 

I can see the nvidiaEFI.kext is loading, internal display's native resolution is displayed but,

it's all white screen again.

 

I was unable to reboot the system by key combination, I had to force shutdown by pressing power button.

 

Anyway, thanks for this, np_ and I am sure upcoming releases will be better :D

Hi np_

 

It didn't work for mee too. Proceeded as you asked without natit/titan and without external display attached.

NVidiaEFI loads fine and detects my LCD panel on output B, head:1, but the screen goes black when switching to gui. I was able to reboot with the keyboard combination so it wasn't stuck or crashed.

 

I did a second test where I entered single user and loaded NVidiaEFI manually. Couldn't find built-in keys nor any EDID key.

 

Thanks again np_

rare your internal LCD must be on output A ( head 0 )

 

i get the picture , seems i will need to edit few EDID blocks now

 

btw can you msg me your card ioreg log ( as attachment ) under UI

 

thanks

Hi, np_

 

My test result with NVidiaEFI is also negative.

 

NVidiaEFI detected my LCD as output-A and went to a black screen.

 

A wierd thing is NVidiaEFI was loaded two times; I deleted Extentions.kextcache and Extentions.mkext though.

 

My syslog is as follows:

I got an ioreg dump in GUI even though my LCD was black.

So, I can send you my ioreg file, if you want it.

 

Always thanks.
