LaptopDisplay

[swansong]

ok new thing to test,

 

is just laptopdisplay and iographicsfamily kext's

 

1: backup your current iographicsfamily

2: use this attached

3: replace old laptopdisplay.kext with this one attached

 

try with or without apple drivers , with natit or titan or nvidiaefi

 

is good all test to be done without any external monitor attached, just laptop internal LCD

 

this iographicsfamily is for laptop owners ONLY !

Hi np_,

 

Here are my test results.

 

First, without apple drivers, I could boot at fixed 1024x768 and my display was considered as ColorLCD.

Second, with apple dirvers, I also got the same black screens (with or without Titan, Natit and NVidiaEFI).

 

Thanks.

hmm interesting

 

when apple drivers used display do not attach at all

 

seems i need to focus only on iographicsfamily for now

Here's a ioreg: ioreg.rtf

 

please use ioreg -l -w 1024 > yourcardmodel.txt and post again

 

thanks

Dear np_,

here are my results, all done with ioreg -l -w 1024.

 

1) Only your LaptopDisplay and IOGraphicsfamily, no ATi drivers, no Natit:

 

ioreg_noATI_noNatit.txt

 

It seems to me, however, that the file produced with Display Utility does not load, since in it I have changed the descriptive string to "Color LCD - produced by Display Utility" to see in Sistem Profiler if I had that string back. Instead, in Sys Profiler, i get "Color LCD". The log line from windowserver.log is this:

 

Jan 15 11:41:01 [89] Display 0x5b800000: MappedDisplay Unit 0; Vendor 0x756e6b6e Model 0x0 S/N 0; online enabled (0,0)[1400 x 1050], base addr 0x3008000

 

2) LaptopDisplay and IOGraphicsfamily, ATi drivers, no Natit:

 

ioreg_ATI_noNatit.txt

 

3) LaptopDisplay and IOGraphicsfamily, ATi drivers, Natit:

Thanks and best regards

Hi ppl,

 

Been readin carefully waht´s all about, trying to get a grip, also have a lappie, and no Natit Titan or whatever... But is great to see once more np_ envolved with all, for the sake of all us. Amazin how some ppl do give in so many ways, so my many thank´s np_.

 

Now for the reason that everybody comes here, my lappie. After readin and trying to digest all the info i´ve begun to try it my self but in fact i need a bit of info:

 

My EDID reports like this:

 

0x 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F

------------------------------------------------

00 | 00 FF FF FF FF FF FF 00 3A C4 00 00 00 00 00 00

10 | 2D 0C 01 03 80 1D 16 00 EA A8 E0 99 57 4B 92 25

20 | 1C 50 54 00 00 00 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01

30 | 01 01 01 01 01 01 30 2A 00 98 51 00 2A 40 30 70

40 | 13 00 1E D7 10 00 00 18 00 00 00 FC 00 4E 76 69

50 | 64 69 61 20 44 65 66 61 75 6C 00 00 00 FC 00 74

60 | 20 46 6C 61 74 20 50 61 6E 65 6C 00 00 00 00 FD

70 | 00 00 3C 1D 41 0B 00 00 20 20 20 20 20 00 00 36

 

So when i pick first line:

 

00FFFFFF FFFFFF00 3AC40000 00000000

 

Naturally DisplayUtility creates a DisplayProductID-0000 and that read´s:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

<plist version="1.0">

<dict>

<key>DisplayProductID</key>

<integer>0</integer>

<key>DisplayProductName</key>

<string>Color LCD</string>

<key>DisplayVendorID</key>

<integer>15044</integer>

<key>IOGFlags</key>

<integer>4</integer>

<key>dmdg</key>

<data>

AAAAAg==

</data>

</dict>

</plist>

 

My question:

Is It possible to get a Display ID of 0 ?

or my EDID that i got from windows usin Phoenix 1,3 is wrong and should go for another soft??

 

Any feedback is appreciated.

I have the same issue... I had to use the EDID that jpsolares posted, since I have the exact same display. Why is it? Is the display not properly recognized in windows or something?

 

Thanks,

[nody]

Could it be, that since i use emulated nVidia drivers, somehow windows gives a wrong info?

[mifki]

My Dell doesnt give any EDID either.

Hi All!

 

I've a problem since installing Natit/Titan/NVidiaEFI: Every second column on my laptop display is black . Using an external monitor everything is fine though. Here is my specs: HP pavillion ZD7058cl laptop : P4 2,8 GHz (SSE2), NVIDIA GeForce 5600 Go ( DevID : 0x031a), 17" display(1440x900), JaS 10.4.8. Another interesting thing is that when I make a screenshot (command+shift+3), the picture has all the columns.

 

Can someone help, please? Is there something I'm missing?

 

Here's the monitor EDID from RivaTuner :

If I'm not using any of the drivers or using the MacVidia driver everything is fine but there's no CI/QE.

Should I post anything else? ioreg dump with/without the drivers maybe?

 

Thanks!

Did you read the all chibanga?? Starting on post 1

Eeeeem. Yes. Sorry. Here we go again : 3 dumps as probably requested.

The NVidiaEFI alone reports wrong VMem size (256 Mb instead of 64 Mb).

And as I said, without the drivers I can see every column, with any of the drivers every second column is black.

I hope it helps.

first NVidiaEFI or titan or natit did not "report" any memory - all this comes from IOPCIFamily

 

about "black" column - this one comes from current resolution bad offset in vram

 

EDIT : or black columns comes from internal LCD there can't support current resolution/refresh rate ........

[np_]

Go5600AllDrivers.txt

 

 

from that ioreg i can seen you have it working ! exactly need to look like this

 

but refresh and depth are wrong this also can cause black bands or other not wanted "visual" displays

 

i can seen also display connection flag is correct

 

can you try with natit ? replace nvidiaefi with natit and try again

 

other think i don't know if you create your own display info using "DisplayUtility" but this in your display config is wrong ( AppleBacklightDisplay-610-9c2c = vendor apple, product 9c2c)

 

include EDID into display is wrong , is for some apple "panel" not "Hewlett-Packard" .....

Thanks np_!

Now I have hope again !

I can try it in a few hours. I'll report back as soon as possible.

I created my own display info using your utility, but it only resulted "Color LCD". Maybe I missed something, I'll check that later too.

About the resolution/color depth/refresh rate: the display itself has native 1440x900 resolution at 32 bits per pixel. I guess the refresh rate is about 85 Hz. But I'm not sure. I have tried all possible resolution in system preferences, but they all had black bars and it didn't showed any refresh rate.

 

By the way: After applying the file produced with DisplayUtility, OS X recognized my external Sony CPD-200G monitor. Probably I missed something there.

 

Cheers!

Hi,

this is ioreg from "totest" with and without drivers.

With natit, it's load into black screen.

My Bad Jaba , it is i should say sorry. Does anybody could give me a hint on what i´ve asked?? totally lost here.

[Jabba_]

Here are the logs. Since np_ didn't told which Natit to use, I used both of them. As the filename sais one is with Natit.kext the other one is with Natit.edited.kext. Natit.edited.kext booted into blank screen, so I had to do it blind, I hope it's ok. And as far as I can tell it seems like when using Natit.kext, it loads ( I checked the /var/log/system.log), but if I do a kextstat I can not see it.

 

Go5600Natit.edited.txt

Now I'll try to fix the DisplayUtility thing.

 

Cheers!

 

Update : I also tried Natit Dual. Here's the log:

Here's what I got from DisplayUtility using the edid information included in my first post. This file was then copied to /System/Library/Displays/Overrides.

 

DisplayVendorID-3ac4 containing:

DisplayProductID_0300.txt

 

Hope it helps!

that's pure example of laptop problem N:2

 

apple display drivers are hard coded to expect "internal display" on device "A" or primary NV chip head

 

but there is a lot lappies with internal LCD on second "B" head .....

 

that's last to fix and i think we will be done

 

thanks

 

ps: do not need more ioregs , i seen all i need already thanks for all info

You probably imagine how many of us come here every hour to check if there is anything new. We all are not capable of developing drivers, but eager to try them. I think that with X1400 working we will have a decent Hackintosh. Currently I am working on G4 and G5, but when my graphic card will start to run I will abandone them, since I am more fond to work with intel based computers. I think Quark runs much ssmoother on my Hackintosh than G5.

 

Thanky you np_!
