New AGPGart

Slice · November 14, 2007

I continue to develop the AGPGart driver.

Now it supports Intel, nForce, VIA, SIS and ATI chipsets. (nForce and SIS only for AMD CPU)

If anyone have trouble with it then report as

ioreg -l -x -w 1024 >ioreg12345.txt

sudo dmesg >dmesg12345.txt

zip these files and upload here if you want I help you.

Installation as usual

Download to "your place", unpack, then in terminal

sudo -s
cp -R /your place/AGPGart.kext /System/Library/Extensions/

chown -R root:wheel /S*/L*/E*/AGP*

chmod -R 755 /S*/L*/E*/AGP*

diskutil repairpermissions /

rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache

Reboot and report what is changed.

If you can't boot as usual then boot in safe mode and delete this kext.

Report please, successful or no!

About QuarzExtreme check the follow

$ cd /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions\
/A/Frameworks/CoreGraphics.framework/Versions/A/Resources
$ sudo pico Configuration.plist

Once in the editor, change these values to match your machine (use System Profiler to get the required details):

<dict>
<key>Quartz2DExtremeEnabled</key>
<true/>
<key>Quartz2DExtremeMinimumVRAM</key>
<integer>64</integer>
<key>Quartz2DExtremeMinimumDRAM</key>
<integer>512</integer>
<key>Quartz2DExtremeVendorDisabled</key>
<array>
</array>
</dict>

EDITED:

Version 2.4.9 is obsolete.

EDITED:

Version 2.6.0 completely revised at post #138 with instructions.

EDITED 29-02-2008

Versions since 2.6.2 are compatible now with new IOPCIFamily.

Works great on AMD64 in Tiger. (Look for reports)

EDITED 07-03-2008

I still use only Tiger so I can't do anything for Leo. Other developers are welcomed!

But I know that AppleMacRiscAGP works in Leo with G4-G5 CPU so AGP technology is not oblolete for Leo.

EDITED 12-09-2008

Attention for users of ATI Radeon prior to X1000!

Leo version of ATIRadeon9700GLDriver.bundle is PowerPC only :censored2:

So you can't get hardware QE with these cards in Leo! Other kexts versions?

EDITED 15-02-2008

You also need to replace IOPCIFamily.kext to the corrected version

If you are using Leopard now v244

IOPCIFamily Sources for Leo

IOPCIFamily.kext for Leo attached

If you are using Tiger now, get ready to use kext

IOPCIFamily.kext v244 for Tiger

EDITED 23-03-08

It is very hard to read all the thread so I make a guide "What to read". Press "NEXT" and read to next post with "NEXT".

EDITED 02-04-08

Next version of AGPGart 265b2 is at post #377 with instructions what to customize.

EDITED 05-04-08

Next version 265f with sources at post #486

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...1308&st=485

EDITED 27-05-08

For smart testers and programmers I explain how the driver works at posts 582-583

EDITED 30-05-08

New version 2.6.7.

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act...st&id=28732

EDITED 26-06-08

New version 2.7.0 with new addressing scheme at post 654.

AGPGart 2.7.0

Addressing method depends on Videocard and operation system, so try both versions 267 and 270. See other user's reports after publish the versions.

EDITED 25-07-08

New version 2.7.1 with corrections for ATI chipset. RS200M support included.

Flush_Timeout is no more used. Best flush is found.

AGB_Base is always equal Aperture now. Needs customization for HOST_Base.

EDITED 19-12-2008

Version of IOPCIFamily254.kext compiled from sources 10.5.6. Tested also in 10.5.5.

EDITED 25-05-2009

Next version of IOPCIFamily 2.6.1 from sources 10.5.7

IOPCIFamily261.kext.zip

I am not sure that developement of AGPGart is complete. Reports are welcomed.

Good report with ATIRadeon HD3850AGP in 10.5.6.

Thanks! But the link doesn't work for me.

EDIT/CORRECTION: Sorry, it does work. The download window was just on another "space" on my desktop, so I couldn't see it.

I will try the new AGPGart and report back ASAP.

Cheers,

Doesn't work for me...hangs at

AgpGart: Setting 08 data rate

Specs below...

zarac · November 14, 2007

i tried your new AGPGart.kext in leopard, but it didn't work.

actually it loads, but no acceleration whatsoever, just like v2.2.

at boot (-v) it doesnt show any lines concerning agp (unlike v2.1, but that one halts on login with black screen and mouse.)

in tiger, v2.1 was the only one working for me.

v2.2 would load and show no errors, but no acceleration and system profiler detected graphic card as pci.

attached are the zipped ioreg.txt and dmesg.txt taken with your AGPGart.kext loaded.

my hardware - check the sig.

I am not famous with leopard and I see you have a problem with device matching. May be you need to write into info.plist

IONameMatch

pci-bridge

2 kramer2k

Probably nForce3 is not correctly supported. Wait for news.

Where is your ioreg without AGPGart? I need to know bus devices.

let me get this straight:

you mean simply to replace

with

<key>IONameMatch</key>

am i right?

also, which instance of Info.plist should i edit, the one in "AGPGart.kext/Contents/" or the one in "AGPGart.kext/Contents/Resources/" ?

Very interesting. As I understand from 2.1 to 2.2 driver is changed and became unusable? I should check!

2kramer2k

in your ioreg I found

"AAPL,gart-width" = 0x40

It is for PCIexpress card,

for AGP it must be =0x20!?

Or I wrong?

You are probably OK. But the question is how much the driver really accelerate graphics.

Can you compare xbench test without AGPGart, with 2.1 and with 2.4.x if the last would work?

According to your claims I correct some mistakes in my version. There is new one.

Slice · November 17, 2007

Thank you for quick reply!

AGP: ERROR! Attach device failed. -- next mistake in the driver
AGPGart: destroyAGPSpace -- the driver switched off because of non-successful

But still shows as AGP -- it is loaded!

And PCI test the same as AGP244. It is not a result.

With AGP21 you have all slow, except OpenGL. :rolleyes: I think it should be opposite.

Try to find the settings

"AAPL,gart-width" = 0x40(64)

in the NViject info.plist and change to 0x20=32, because this driver written for PCIe cards.

There is no entry like that in NVinject 0.1.3 for leo

it's a pity. Most probably it is internally settings. It would be a problem for AGP bus. May be no. Wait for news.

The AGPGart downloaded a hundred times. Where ia another reports? All others already happy and rest in nirvana?

Simple mistake. Corrected

The AppleI386PCI.kext works only with Intel865 chipset. And it works without accelerations.
