IMHERETOSTAY Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Same problem here, worked fine in 10.5.2 until I updated the graphic drivers from apple... Now, no CI or QE... Hope the patch is coming soon!! Thx Bronya!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mulletman13 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 karishbhr -- installing 10.5.2 works just fine, but do NOT install the Graphics Update! It will render Bronya's drivers useless atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimnicebutdim Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Hi everyone, I want to share my experience with building an EFI GFX String for my x1950Pro. Hopefully this information may help someone. I haven't combed the whole thread so I apologise if this has already been covered. If you want to build one I recommend reading the following threads on netkas' forum: How To: EFI GFX+Audio Introduction & Tutorial GFXUtil - Essential as you'll be using this to find DevicePaths and build hex codes GFX-Strings I found some information from Bronya on GFX Strings from post #801 . Bronya posted a hex file which I used to base my gfx string on. Background: MSI ATI x1950 Pro 256MB (MSI RX1950PRO-T2D256) GUID partitiion scheme with PC_EFI v8.0 Installed 10.5.0 from retail DVD (Video running in 1024x768 VESA mode, no QE/CI) - check out the following guide, highly recommended method for installing Leopard (what is better than plain vanilla?) Upgraded to 10.5.1 'Installed Bronya's 10.5.1 Leopard drivers (gives QE/CI, rotation, change resolutions etc.) Briefest of the brief steps (I recommend giving a thorough reading to the above posts and experimenting): Downloaded Bronya's gfx string from post #803 Converted to xml form (plist) using gfxutil Altered DevicePath dictionary value in plist to match my system (this is where you need to read the gfx string guides above). NOTE: do not solely rely on "gfxutil -f display" command to find DevicePath for display as it gave path to my display@1, not display@0 which meant gfx string did not initially work. RECOMMEND: learning to build map DevicePath manually Viewed system.log in console to find properties and parameters that Natit is injecting during startup. Used Bronya's gfx string as basis for properties in plist but added some more and removed some properties that did not appear in my log. At this stage not sure what properties are essential and what aren't, but to be safe I added as many as possible. View this thread for more information on how to do this Converted plist to hex using gfxutil Added hex code to com.apple.Boot.plist and replaced existing Boot.plist (don't forget to repair ownership and permissions: chown root:admin and chmod 644) Removed Natit Cleared kext cache (removed Extensions.mkext) Rebooted and back to 1680x1050 CE/QI, rotation, resolution change I'm not sure if secondary display or TV out works. Apparently it does in Bronya's gfx string. As a nice secondary effect, I now have sleep working for my system. Previously I woke up to a blank screen, it seems the removal of Natit.kext solved this. NOTE: I have also got EFI strings for my ALC882 (no more ALCInject.kext!) and ethernet device so it may be a combination of these three strings that fixed the sleep issue, but Natit.kext was definitely a problem. I've attached my hex gfx string. Hope this information helps some people! k EDIT: I've noticed that the removal of Natit.kext with EFI string replacement has also cleared up a graphical glitch I was experiencing. On shutdown or reboot the screen clears using a wipe transition, as I'm running with the '-v' flag console messages are displayed next (instead of the blue screen plus busy wheel). With Natit the screen would wipe clear about halfway, freeze and then I would not see the console messages. Without Natit and with EFI strings, it's back to normal. Another small advantage of GFX strings! ATIx1950Pro.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InorganicMatter Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 What is the advantage of running EFI GFX? Does it remove the need for Bronya's drivers and moves all the handling of that into EFI space? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
