ATi Mobility Radeon x1700

[mushr00m]

Hi,

 

i have an Asus A8JP laptop with ATI Radeon X1700 Mobility running Kalyway 10.5.2.

The maximum resolution i can get with modifying com.apple.Boot.plist is 1152 x 864.

 

Mainly i have two problems:

 

1.) QE/CI is working with ATIRadeonX1000.kext but i have mouse glitches.

2.) Natit and ATIinject gives me only a black screen and i cant change the resolution.

 

Can someone help me?

extract the files

copy them to:

/System/Library/Extensions/

in terminal do:

sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/ATIRadeonX1000.kext

sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/ATIRadeonX1000.kext

sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/ATINDRV.kext

sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/ATINDRV.kext

sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/atiinject.kext

sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/atiinject.kext

sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

diskutil repairpermissions /

reboot

Thank you very very much for your help !

 

An others question for you because you are on G2P like me. Your Touchapd works on Mac ?

 

Thank you again for your help !

sometimes does acts strange because after a boot in Windows the touchpad remains enabled by the switch ... so is kind buggy. if you boot under Windows be sure to disable the touchpad by plugging the mouse or by pressing the switch. also do not expect that double touch on it will work as in Windows ...

another thing ... we could open a new topic only for Asus G2P laptops ... then we can share impressions and experience and maybe make the machine working better

try this files and report if something changed. please try to catch a system log ... to see if the kext are starting ...

 

out of topic

because i have pneumonia and looks like there is also a mess in my storage files, EDID collection and installers i start to build; possible to not be able to respond on the fly to all the requests.

thats why ... please be patient ... all the good things are to come

 

Cheers,

Use the EXTRACT EDID button ... do it for all to the entries there. I guess the primary monitor is the first in the list.

Do you have an attached monitor now ? Try without it and lets se. You will get a txt file or something for all of those entries.

[stolenSheep]

Hi

 

I don't have an attached monitor. If i press "Extract EDID" with the first entry selected, i can do following:

File > Export : As .hex or .raw file ...or

File > Save EDID as : .dat file

I've saved it as .dat file and renamed it to "edid1entry.txt"... i think it looks good:

 

EDID BYTES:

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

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

Is it OK?

Hi righteye,

 

your files didnt work for me. i got full res and qe/ci with some old ATINDRV, patched ATIRadeonX1000 binary and

modified Info.plist's. The drawback is, i get only an image on the external monitor. the internal lcd panel is dark.

with dark i mean, i can see an application window moving it around but the lcd panel is turned off.

this is the problem all people owning a ASUS A8JP had, so i think one cant solve it with the common methods.

 

one thing i noticed is, that the FN+F7 key combination (which turns the panel on and off) is disabled, the other ones work though.

so maybe something with power management? ASUS maybe uses a strange integration with motherboard/graphics card/panel.

 

do you have any idea how to solve this problem?

 

greets, mushr00m.

[mushr00m]

UPDATE: i got an image on lcd, but its a bit ugly ^^

 

check: http://img361.imageshack.us/img361/7986/img3326se1.jpg

the external monitor is fine: http://img160.imageshack.us/img160/9099/img3325yf8.jpg

 

this is all related to an ASUS A8JP laptop.

 

i did add following values to info.plist which are based on a macbook pro ioreg dump with an ati mobility x1600.

 

<key>@0,display-type</key>

<string>LCD</string>

<key>@0,display-inverter</key>

<integer>2</integer>

<key>@0,backlight-PWM-freq</key>

<integer>210000</integer>

<key>@0,inverter-current</key>

<integer>0</integer>

<key>@0,display-inverter-default-cycle</key>

<integer>255</integer>

 

im going to test different combinations of those, as well as adding other key/value pairs i found

inside the ioreg dump.

 

my info.plist and the ioreg dump are both attached to this post.

 

Info.plist.txt

ioreg.txt

 

greets, mushr00m

[righteye]

Ok ... here is an idea for you all

Try updating your system to 10.5.5 using netkas tutorial for 10.5.2 but remember to backup the kexts that suit with your machine. On my machine i had to backup and use after 10.5.5 update this files from previous version of system:

AppleACPIPlatform.kext

AppleHDA.kext

IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext

AppleSMBIOS.kext

and

PowerManagement.bundle this in /System/Library/SystemConfiguration

used this files for Qe/Ci and my ATIinject.

 

NOW

For those with problems getting the Qe/Ci and resolution change working:

Use just one of the kexts Natit or ATIinject - of course you can test them both but do it at once!!!

The info.plist must contain the necessary strings to work, not more, not less. I prefer making it simple.

When an external monitor is attached ... playing around with "detect displays" or "changing resolution" will end up in a mess on the internal display.

 

The reason why i mention this details is because i think we can make a suitable driver/injector for all of us and only the EDID to be modified ... So, let's track the problems and see what differences we have in the info.plist of the drivers/injectors we use. I'll add in the ATIinject.kext/Info.plist a detail to the name of the board with the name of the machine (ex. ATI Mobility Radeon X1700 A8JP - for Asus A8JP ... or ATI Mobility Radeon X1700 F3JP - for Asus F3JP and so on.

How can you help?

Make posts like this example:

Machine Model: Asus G2P

Graphic Board: x1700 - PCIe - x16 - 512 (chipset model - bus - PCIe Lane Width - VRAM)

Working whit this: (attach the Natit or Atiinject you use)

or

Not working but trying with this files: (attach the Natit or Atiinject you use)

Hey guy! now i get my A8Jp LCD bright on. Thank a lot mushr00m for your information. I Just add like mushr00m's post in ATIinject (the huan edition) **Dual Monitor working too** and stable

 

This is my result

 

[mushr00m]

hey xess666,

 

i have still problems, could you tell me how what osx distribution

you are using and which kernel extensions?

 

check your pm for email.

 

Thanks, mushr00m.

[Xess666]

Try This kext ATIinject.kext.zip and don't forget to put your EDID.

 

Hope u success.

[mushr00m]

Hi xess666,

 

it didn't work. can you make me a package of following kext's:

 

ATINDRV.kext

ATIRadeonX1000.kext

ATIRadeonX1000GA.plugin

ATIRadeonX1000GLDriver.bundle

ATIRadeonX1000VADriver.bundle

IONDRVSupport.kext

 

and tell me what os x you are using. i use ideneb 10.5.5.

also, are you using a custom /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

and/or a display override in /System/Library/Display/Overrides/*?

 

Greets, mushr00m.

[Xess666]

Here mushr00m packs file

 

I didn't touch anything "com.apple.Boot.plist" and "Display Override"

My system is Jas 10.5.4 on Asus A8JP (LCD = CMO1409)

 

So today I try it on EFI-String and result is working too.but I notice something when I restart or shutdown the screen freeze long time than normal(normal = old ATIinject backlight off) both of EFI and kext

Hi

 

Thanks for the files righteye, but they don't work

I get a black screen - it's possible, that i've given you the false edid?

[mushr00m]

Hi xess,

 

still no luck. could you upload your ATINDRV.kext too?

in the zip file there was only the ATIRNDRV.kext.

 

Greets, mushr00m.

greets stolenSheep

try using also the second archive of files i send to mashr00m.

the black screen can be because you have some different versions of kext related to video driver.

not sure that the injectors (Natit/ATIinject) have a wrong EDID, also are the ones that Obsan1ty and eternal404 reported as working for their AsusF3JP graphics.
