ATi Mobility Radeon x1700

[righteye]

hi righteye:

I have a external monitor, a benq 24 inch LCD Diaplay, but i can't get it work,

Is there a way to have both internal, external diaplay to work,

thanks in advance.

yes ... you have to be sure that the Natit or ATIinject (depends what you are using) is working and has strings for the second monitor. i think for that monitor you do not need the EDID because in a real Macintosh it will be recognized.

hope tis info it helps.

Hi righteye,

 

My laptop is Asus V1jp with, of course, the ATi Mobility Radeon x1700. It has been working well since I followed your method.

 

Before each upgrade, I back up only three files: ATIinject.kext, ATINDRV.kext, ATIRadeonX1000.kext, and copy them back to their original folder (using Kext Helper) after upgrading. This trick brings me back the correct resolution (1650x1050) after I upgrade from iAKTOS 10.5.1 to Leo4All 10.5.1 and then Leo4All 10.5.2.

 

I apply the same trick after I clean-install iDeneb 10.5.5, but then the problem happens here: I only have the right resolution when the system boot into Safe Mode (-x). With normal boot mode and boot options with -s, -f..., Leopard gets stuck at login screen and produces a complele damaged set of colours. Half of the screen is black while the other is filled with striped, zebra lines with just primitive colours.

 

I wonder if you could have a solution to this headache.

 

TA very much in advance.

Have anyone know about "@0,backlight-PWM-freq" Now i use value "210000" primary lcd does bright but some time it's show liner(hang) and can't shutdown/restart normal. but if i change "@0,backlight-PWM-freq" value to 21000(original value from macbook pro) LCD going to dark and can shutdown/restart normal. So strange....

 

Anynone got idea?

 

Thank.

Regard.

after inject external display's edid, it finally works, but when playing video, the external display turns black randomly, then come back, again and again,

 

it seems that some inject values are responsible for that, the worst time, the screen acts like a pharos,

 

after a lot mod work, now i can surf internet or listen to music , etc, but just cant play video,

 

so do you have an idea of that?

 

thanks

Succes with A8Jp !!!

 

I took one of the ATIinjects that worked without backlight and added the "@0,backlight-PWM-freq" with value 210000 and voila! 1440x900x32 works!

I also removed the resolution line from Boot.plist prior to this.

 

I used the kext Righteye had prepared for Diablo1 since we had the same edid. So Diablo1 should try this also...

 

Oh! And i did not find a ATIRadeonX1000.kext that works with this, so for now i only have the res...

ATIinject.kext.zip

shure the Device ID is 0x71d5?

try to update to 10.5.5 then use the files ... strange this files i am using right now and ...

i'll investigate this in more details when got some time.

Righteye, you surely have right eyes . Your files do make my system work. Now I can boot nornally and get the right resolution of 1650x1050. Thank you very much.

 

However, let me explain my doing:

 

1. I copy, chown, chmod your files and repair permissions (all done from terminal root)

After rebooting, the system can boot nornally but the resolution is still not right. I restart the laptop but get the same things next boot.

 

2. I then add ATIInject.kext (the one for my Asus V1JP - you made it long ago) to Extensions. After restarting, the screen goes black, and I have to power off. But I does work from the next boot giving me the right resolution.

Glad to hear that are working ... it is true that some people here explained that also it is important to delete the Extensions.mkext and reboot after, and also a good way to know that all the kexts are loaded right to boot with -f

 

lets hope that also other people here will have luck

 

Cheers

@Mikkoeinari after you success LCD backlight. when you shutdown/restart is normal,isn't? i must push power button hold about 3second when shutdown system. Now i try to random "@0,backlight-PWM-freq". 180000 is better than 210000 in my opinion.

Hi righteye,

 

I just notice a reverting problem: While booting fine with other options giving the right resolution, Leopard can't boot with -x, just black screen probably at login (though the system still loads itself - hard disk light flashing...).

 

Weird, isn't it?

Yeah, shutdown works sometimes, restart all the time, and i get black screens every now and then at boot. I'll fiddle around with kexts more when i have the time.

 

@righteye: I have 10.5.5 and 71d5, no luck. I had CI/QE earlier on 10.5.2 but somehow i can't get it to work now. When i have the time i'll try to find a combination that works...

here you go. use atiinject or natit ... not both ... chown and chmod and repair permissions

I tried this file out for my A8JP, I changed the edid through plist editor pro. It works, hardware, res etc but the backlight doesnt work so it is dark. I tried both Natit and ATIinject both had the same problem.

 

Any ideas of what I could change? I removed the Natit file and the backlight works, it is still hardware supported but has random artifacts from the mouse and the resolution isn't 1440x900.

 

I realise these are problems that have happened to other people but I can't seem to find a solution.

And I believe the 71d5

product id 1416

 

- Fixed it, I just added @0,backlight-PWM-freq 210000 thing to the ATIinject.

Thanks for all the effort everyone has put into it. Now to find a WiFi card in NZ that will work

 

I have attached the files I used in case someone else has the same card and laptop and hasn't got it working yet. I just used Kext Helper to install

Any solutions for Asus F3JP, iDeneb 1.3 10.5.5? Went thru the whole thread but i still dont get any success... Thank you very much!

 

Config: ASUS F3JP-AP098, X1700 256MB DDR2

 

X1700 = vendor 1002@71D5

 

P.S.: I'm focused on Obsan1ty's drivers (hes got actually the same model of laptop as I = same resolution, same 71D5 GPU, but maybe different screen vendor)

 

EDIT: New findings: Screen crashes causes ATINDRV.kext, without it system works (QE,CI enabled) but cant change resolution (still 1024)

 

EDIT2: Self-teached how to change EDID in ATIinject, but it doesnt work, no influence of edid to screen resolution.

 

EDID:

00FFFFFF FFFFFF00 320C00C1 00000000 00100103 80211578 0AB37099 59538D27 23505400 00000101 01010101 01010101 01010101 0101EA1A 00805020 10301820 44004BCF 10000019 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00FE004C 47506869 6C697073 4C43440A 000000FE 004C5031 35345730 312D544C 4432005F

Yay, i got it finally working on my A8JP =)

Thanks for your files dazza, they did the job!

 

Mastodont: there are different versions of the ATINDRV.kext

For me the 1.5.30.17 works. 1.4.20.28 gave me qe/ci, but with

no native resolution and mouse artifacts.
