for moblity x1600 the only way to get your edid seems to be the phoenix tool...

yes, but if i plug external monitor, moninfo working!!!!

Alexxxxxx · January 19, 2007

What's your laptop?

My laptop is asus f3ja and x1600 mobility not working.. i used callisto, atiinject and various driver: non working!

Alexxxxxx!

I see you got the same problem with EDID as me.

By the way : today I managed to get EDID info with MonInfo. Interestingly when there were no external displays connected, it reported that I have to displays. One default and an Apple. Funny. At least I know from where the wrong EDID info came. I never had any Apple display connected though.

About the EDID : I got vendor of 610. I guess that was to default/no name, right? Black bars still in place...

Cheers!

ALEXXXXXX please simply read my last post!

for mobility x1600 use Phoenix EDID tool!

Moninfo is not working...

right now i am experimenting on some new ideas for laptops and trying to discover what all these property's below do - they are import for lappies

and i think key for success is in "AppleGraphicsPolicy.efi"

from where comes some of these EFI property's below

// PCIDevice - general property's

"AAPL,aux-power-connected" = <01000000> - this must tell driver to use I2C or not (1 enabled , 0 disabled ) or tell driver there is display attached

"AAPL,backlight-control" = <01000000> - driver can control backlight levels ( enable/disable ) ( on apple machine graphics driver do not control backlight , AppleIntelPanelA is display param handler he does the job try platform calls and services )

"AAPL00,LinkType" = <00000000> - not %100 sure but i think current type is digital and 1 must be analog or reverse

"AAPL00,InverterFrequency" = <08520000> // LCD inverter frequency , value must be like 2.5 times of LCD vertical refresh rate, for example for refresh rate 60hz this must around 150 hz

"AAPL00,InverterCurrent" = <00000000> // should be current LCD inverter control 0 = index 0 , 1 = index 1

"AAPL00,LinkFormat" = <01000000> // this should tell if is internal LCD or external or also tell if digital/analog connection

"AAPL00,Dither" = <00000000> // enable/disable dithering on some LCD's

"AAPL00,Inverter" = <01000000> // enable/disable "inverter"

"AAPL00,PixelFormat" = <01000000> // unknown

"AAPL00,DataJustify" = <01000000> // unknown

"AAPL00,DualLink" = <01000000> // enable/disable dual-link ( DVI )

// Display device ( where actually attach Framebuffer and your IODisplay Class )

"@0,built-in" = <> - indicate that display is internal LCD

"@0,backlight-control" = <01000000> - enable backlight control for that display ( levels )

it' can be @0,XXXX or @1,XXXX depend of internal LCD FB conection index ( all imac's and powerbooks internal LCD got index = 0 , but laptops can be at index 1 - that's main issue )

"@X,use-backlight-blanking" = <> - when present indicate control for inverter for that device with index X = 0 or 1

// from efi

"AAPL00,T1" = <00000000>

"AAPL00,T2" = <01000000>

"AAPL00,T3" = <c8000000>

"AAPL00,T4" = <c8000000>

"AAPL00,T5" = <01000000>

"AAPL00,T6" = <00000000>

"AAPL00,T7" = <90010000>

i think these all set initial VGA register state on boot - the are same for NVidia and ATI , probably we don't need them

this one "@0,display-cfg" = <03035000> seems to be I2C address for LCD or chip address control his backlight levels ( is yet unknown witch service use to )

"@0,panelinfo" = <00641500> is unknown, it can be just key for AppleIntelPanelA - easy way to get DisplayProductID from all panels listed

import thing is @0,EDID or @1,EDID

i see from test that some laptops did not respond on I2C that for adding real EDID info for internal LCD will give you

for example all supported resolutions

please note that "AAPL00,Coherency" = <02000000> is not used in iMacs

that key is to share ( remap ) part of system memory - no idea if used for some kind FIFO/DMA buffer

but is key belong to gl vertex/fence

help me!

first of all laptopdisplay did not change res, ATI drivers do it

second use "DisplayUtility" , create your internal LCD DisplayVendor/ProductID's

open DisplayProductID file and add key "IODisplayEDID" ( type data ) with your internal LCD EDID

copy this folder/file into System/Library/Displays/Overrides, reboot

and you will seen all resolutions

Hi! I've been following the thread for a while, and want to start by thanking np_!

Next, I've followed all the instructions to the best of my ability, but am still stymied.

Using moninfo.exe, I've obtained the EDID for the monitor on my Asus A8Js. The EDID is as follows:

00FFFFFF FFFFFF00 06AF4712 00000000 010F0103 801E1378 0A87C594 574F8C27 25505400 00000101 01010101 01010101 01010101 01013822 A0A05084 0C303020 360030BE 10000018 0000000F 00000000 00000000 00000000 00200000 00FE0041 554F0A20 20202020 20202020 000000FE 00423134 31505730 31205632 200A006D

When pasted into the Display Utility, it tells me that my monitor VendorID is 06af and the ProductID is 1247, which matches what I saw in moninfo.exe under windows.

I take the file created by Display Utility (DisplayProductID-1247) and change the IOGFlags to "4" and add the EDID information above using the Property List Editor utility previously posted. The whole directory (DisplayVendorID-06af) I then move to system/library/displays/overrides and change the permissions as appropriate

I have also installed the latest LaptopDisplay.kext to the Extensions folder, fixed permissions, and deleted the cached extensions.

I have also installed the IOGraphicsFamily.kext to the Extensions folder and fixed permissions and deleted the cached extensions.

Still, when I boot, I can only see the 1024x768 option in the display panel for system preferences.

When I look in the system profiler, I see this:

Finally figured how how ioreg works. Here's my ioreg log, generated with ioreg -l -w 1024 > ioreg_7700.txt

FYI, I have 10.4.8 with the latest semthex 8.8.1 kernel

Hi i have an inspiron 8500 with a Geforce4 4200 Go and i have managed to get QE working with natit.

However, only an external monitor works.

The internal LCD freezes and fades to white during boot, although system profiler reports correct resolution and QE on the display.

After several seconds, the display is completely white and stays that way, although my external monitor continues to work properly.

I am using LaptopDisplay.kext and have full resolution switching on both the internal and external displays.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a shot of system profiler.

My problem is - probably- that nor OS X nor windows can read my laptop displays EDID info corectly, which is -if I remember well- done through I2C.(FYI : OSX gives me Apple display, windows gives some {censored} or no EDID at all, or thinks that I have an Apple display attached as external although there's none. I gave up...) Could it help me if I could manage to disable the I2C EDID reading operation?

I recall seeing it somewhere in a header in an XCode framework. Maybe I could fake the EDID reading and pass an extracted one? Bimmer just posted that his laptop is working fine. As I know his display is the same 17" panel that is in my laptop (HP zd7000 series). Could it work np_?

Sorry if I asked some silly stuff! I'm still on finding out how things are related.

Bimmer!

Could you please send me your EDID for your internal display? Maybe I can do something with it. At least I could extract the timing information and the standard resolution/refresh stuff.

Thanks!

Hi! I've been following the thread for a while, and want to start by thanking np_!

Next, I've followed all the instructions to the best of my ability, but am still stymied.

Using moninfo.exe, I've obtained the EDID for the monitor on my Asus A8Js. The EDID is as follows:

00FFFFFF FFFFFF00 06AF4712 00000000 010F0103 801E1378 0A87C594 574F8C27 25505400 00000101 01010101 01010101 01010101 01013822 A0A05084 0C303020 360030BE 10000018 0000000F 00000000 00000000 00000000 00200000 00FE0041 554F0A20 20202020 20202020 000000FE 00423134 31505730 31205632 200A006D

When pasted into the Display Utility, it tells me that my monitor VendorID is 06af and the ProductID is 1247, which matches what I saw in moninfo.exe under windows.

I take the file created by Display Utility (DisplayProductID-1247) and change the IOGFlags to "4" and add the EDID information above using the Property List Editor utility previously posted. The whole directory (DisplayVendorID-06af) I then move to system/library/displays/overrides and change the permissions as appropriate

I have also installed the latest LaptopDisplay.kext to the Extensions folder, fixed permissions, and deleted the cached extensions.

I have also installed the IOGraphicsFamily.kext to the Extensions folder and fixed permissions and deleted the cached extensions.

Still, when I boot, I can only see the 1024x768 option in the display panel for system preferences.

When I look in the system profiler, I see this:
NVIDIA GeForce Go 7700:

 Chipset Model:	NVIDIA GeForce Go 7700
 Type:	Display
 Bus:	PCIe
 VRAM (Total):	256 MB
 Vendor:	nVIDIA (0x10de)
 Device ID:	0x0397
 Revision ID:	0x00a1
 Displays:
Color LCD:
 Resolution:	1024 x 768
 Depth:	32-bit Color
 Core Image:	Not Supported
 Main Display:	Yes
 Mirror:	Off
 Online:	Yes
 Quartz Extreme:	Not Supported
Display:
In the system profiler system.log, I see this:
Jan 21 17:35:40 localhost kernel[0]: IOPanelDevice: Machine Is Laptop!
Jan 21 17:35:40 localhost kernel[0]: IOPanelDevice: Registered OK!

you need to add one key to File DisplayProductID-1247 ( file you create with displayutility)

under "IOGFlags"

add this IODisplayEDID as key , type is data, and paste your EDID ie

00FFFFFFFFFFFF0006AF471200000000010F0103801E13780A87C594574F8C272550540000000101

000000000000000020000000FE0041554F0A202020202020202020000000FE 004231343150573031205632200A006D

safe file and reboot

use plist editor !

:unsure:

Here's my moninfo:

use "Natit" and add key to his "defaults"

like "AAPL00,Dither" type numeric, value = 1

and try again

open LaptopDisplay plist

look for key "brightness" and modifity "max" from 100 to 255

min from 0 to 31

and try again

if not work set max = 31 , min = 4

you can't fake EDID it's must be exact for your LCD or won't work

btw what is this panel max resolution ?

Alexxxxxx · January 22, 2007

first of all laptopdisplay did not change res, ATI drivers do it

second use "DisplayUtility" , create your internal LCD DisplayVendor/ProductID's

open DisplayProductID file and add key "IODisplayEDID" ( type data ) with your internal LCD EDID

copy this folder/file into System/Library/Displays/Overrides, reboot

and you will seen all resolutions

... laptopdisplay working.... then the problem is my ati drivers!!

callisto, atiinject etc.. not working!!!

i do know.... :unsure:

guiyoforward · January 22, 2007
