Nick did you already gave me your EDID? lost the overview a lil... if not just it and i'll prepare a complete package with all files you need for the nx9420... if need anything else whats not working on your NB but working on mine just tell me (u r the first nx9420 owner i know having OS X installed beside me...) cheers Sheriff Hi SHeriff, Thank you for your reply, here 's my edid: Here is my edid - got it with phoenix - does it look like yours? manufacturer Monitor/LPL1289 hardware ID LPL1289 EDID BYTES: 0x 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F ------------------------------------------------ 00 | 00 FF FF FF FF FF FF 00 32 0C 89 12 00 00 00 00 10 | 00 0F 01 03 80 25 17 78 0A 23 00 98 58 51 8C 29 20 | 26 50 54 00 00 00 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 01 30 | 01 01 01 01 01 01 A8 2F 90 E0 60 1A 10 40 20 40 40 | 13 00 6F E6 10 00 00 18 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 50 | 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 FE 00 4C 60 | 47 50 68 69 6C 69 70 73 4C 43 44 0A 00 00 00 FE 70 | 00 4C 50 31 37 31 57 45 32 2D 54 4C 30 33 00 70 I bet it's the same as yours :-) That's why I think there must be something missing in my conf. However, typo are always on the way, so double check with you will be very fine :-) . Besides display there is the broadcom 1gb that's not working, and the intel wireless, but I think we should wait for a compelte solution AFAIK ... talking about displays, I have found this page: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?sto...030212065523164 but as I'm busy working I think I'll give it a try one of these evenings... Another thing I noticed: cold starting osx impossible, must write cpus=1 at boot starting osx after windows (rebooting) 2 cpus ok (no need to write cpus=1) is it the same for you?

Sherifbounce !!!
Interesting supervision. Has established MacOS 10.4.8 from Jazz and the variant has not worked after replacement 3 kexts. Has repeated attempt anew - the same result. Has made in an old fashion. Has put 10,4,6, combo update 10.4.8, has replaced kernell and 3 kext and all works wonderfully. I think, it is necessary to look in this direction. Asus a7j ATI x1600 71c5 |

SOLUTION!!! well, a sort of...
This time I got it!!! Same results as Sheriffbounce (1680X1050 and reschange), but I've had to modify a couple of things: I must premit I started from the kext Sheriffbounce posted some time ago in this thread. First, IOPCImatch in Info.plist, and consequently Info2.plist, was wrong; was 0x00001002&0x0000ffff and should be 0x71C51002; In second place as I was getting nothing with the Info.plist with one monitor, I tried to put two identical edid in DFP1,EDID and LVDS,EDID - the keys of Info2.plist. and Tah dah!!! 1680x1050 and res change.... very good .... Many thanks to Sheriffbounce for he pointed me to the right direction. here is the kext I use: remember to modify accordingly with your configuration (EDID is good for hp9420, change it for your conf) cheers, Nick Nick's System: HP Compaq NX9420 Intel Core 2 Duo 1.83GHz working 1 core cold start and 2 cores after reboot from windows ...

Hi Koala,
I never had this problem, but you can try with cpus=1 platform=ACPI as startup options; this seems to fix many problems. Also try to disable SATA native support in bios, if you have a SATA hd, of course. However I think you better check partition table... But in this forum there are some other threads about this problem. Keep us informed, cheers, Nick UPADTE...

hey guys, nice to hear that there are people trying to solve the problem!!! I read the hole threat and made the changes to the atiinject.kext and used only the info2.plist after renaming it to info.plist.
after the rebooting with -v I get this msg: Atiinject Starting: ..bla..bla... ..bla..bla...

Hi,
It seems that you have the same problem as me... Like nick told in this threat, i tried 1400x1050 res changing the default value in com.apple.boot etc. (1680X1050 not working) and it works, but with mouse tearing, it's better however than with 1024X768... So at the moment if your ATIINJECT file doesn't load properly, try this method... What is your config? did you fill in the plist the right information about your card (vendor id etc...)? Good luck... I will try by my side to make it works with ATIINJECT...it has to work!!!! lol cheers hey guys, nice to hear that there are people trying to solve the problem!!! I read the hole threat and made the changes to the atiinject.kext and used only the info2.plist after renaming it to info.plist.

Hi,
Try the way I described in my last post; I.e. Use plist editor to make changes; check : ---------:<-------- <key>IOPCIMatch</key> <string>0x71C51002</string> ---------:<-------- is written this way (no "&" in the middle) and put your edid in both places of the old Info2.plist (in my attached files is already named Info.plist) this way: ---------:<-------- <key>DFP1,EDID</key> <data> AP///////wAyDIkSAAAAAAAPAQOAJRd4CiMAmFhRjCkm UFQAAAABAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBqC+Q4GAaEEAgQBMA b+YQAAAYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA/gBMR1Bo aWxpcHNMQ0QKAAAA/gBMUDE3MVdFMi1UTDAzAHA= </data> <key>LVDS,EDID</key> <data> AP///////wAyDIkSAAAAAAAPAQOAJRd4CiMAmFhRjCkm UFQAAAABAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBqC+Q4GAaEEAgQBMA b+YQAAAYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA/gBMR1Bo aWxpcHNMQ0QKAAAA/gBMUDE3MVdFMi1UTDAzAHA= </data> <key>device-id</key> ---------:<-------- after that, rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions.mkext rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache be careful not to rm the whole Extensions dir (yes, I did this once, too many yawns at 3.00 am LOL). keep us informed, cheers, Nick Nick's System: HP Compaq NX9420 Intel Core 2 Duo 1.83GHz 1GB Ram 100GB SATA HDD Ati Mobility x1600 Dev ID 71C5 Laptop monitor vendor ID LPL1289 Internal WLan: Intel 3945abg NOT working (yet) Embedded ethernet Broadcom netxtreme M ven 14e3 dev id 16fd NOW WORKS!!!

plist_editor.JPG ( 43.12K )
Number of downloads: 173and look I get from the Device Manager for ati:
ati.JPG ( 12.15K )
Number of downloads: 103I have connected my monitor to 3 external TVs and now I get this. Maybe the phoenix tool generates a EDID data wrong because of those??? My monitor is the highlighted in the pic. |

dear monsiuer LORD UFFA,
yes, congrats on the success! now I think I am also very close: your tip to check the string after <key>IOPCIMatch</key> looks IMPORTANT... mine did in fact have the deadly "&" mess in there like this: <string>0x00001002&0x0000ffff</string> BUT can you tell me what the data in this string is refering to? Did you change it manually? thanks for any advice in advance... regards, ninetto p.s. my laptop is a Mitac barbone (goes by the name Nexoc in Deutschland) |

Yes, follow Diabolik instructions and insert it by hand using plist editor:

YIKES, this thread is gettin' long and tiresome... BUT please one last query...
Of course I have added my EDID to Nick's KEXT and I have changed my device ID as Nick/Diabolik mentioned in the STRING after IOPCImatch... But for SOME CRAZY and I'm sure LOGICAL reason, my HackinLaptop' still keeps the old ID "0x71c5" instead of my corrected ID "0x71c2". MY QUESTION: Is there some other line where the device ID for the screen has to go? Other plist? regards, ninetto |

OK, even though I have not had success yet (UPADTE : yes-yes-yes with DUAL DISPLAY and PURE DVI, see signature) with my ATI x1600 mobility(256MB +256) in a Mitac Barebone/15.4 Screen/Core 2 duo 7200 Laptop I'll list a summary of "things-to-do" for others, to recap this long thread. If there is something I got wrong or someone wants to add, please do.
1. Get your EDID of your internal screen with Phoenix-Tool. Format it with TextEdit into blocks of 8 characters. Now is also the time to plug in your secondary display and get its EDID too, if you want to try to add that in the playlist also. 2. Get the device ID of your card, via e.g. Device Manager. It will be a six digit looking something like "0x71e2" 3. There are different flavors of ATIkexts out there, lots of them in fact. There seems to be conflicting reports if it is enough to just use ATIINJECT + ATIDRV (see http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=36462) or THE MAXX3200 original post, but there are lots of success stories using all three files, including IONDRVSupport.kext from the older JAS 10.4.5 DVD like SHIERRFBOUNCE (post#25). SHIERFBOUNCE was kind enough to post many modified kexts. Pick one close to your machine. Somewhere I read that you should remove a lot of the original ATIrage/radeon.kexts, plus Natit/Callisto first... but I am starting with a clean install so I ignored this advice. ANBODY know the bottom-line on THIS??? 4. Editing the plist in ATIINJECT with Playlist editior (get it at:here). This is where things get a bit murky. There are two plists. It seems like info.plist is the IMPORTANT one & info2.plist has an effect on secondary displays. I edit the kext before placing them in the extensions folder. The EDID is crucial: original instruction was that LVDS,EDID was for internal display and DFP1 for external, but at least one person had success when placing his EDID in BOTH lines. Be really careful inserting the EDID not adding spaces or deleting the "<>" ... that screwed me up at least once. 5. Editing the plist (contd.) Check the IOPCIMatch Key to be sure your Device ID (step 2) is correctly displayed. It should be "0xXXXX1002" where the large XXXX is your device ID. Delete any "&..." garbage in this key. 6. Save info.plist. Some people have deleted one or the other plists, using only one. I don't know what effect or logic is behind this. I have only one plist in my version. 7. Insert ATIINJECT and ATIDRV kexts. (option: also IONDRVSupport.kext?) into SYSTEM/LIBRARY/EXTENSIONS 8. as usual, open terminal type: sudo -s enter ur password cd /system/library/extensions chown -R root:wheel atiinject.kext chmod -R 755 atiinject.kext 9: NEW: for the fast and super easy was to add new kexts without all the terminal typing check out KEXT HELPER http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...;hl=kext+helper Then you can ignore all the parts in STEP 8! Highly recommended, especially for noobs... GOOD LUCK to ALL! regards, n.m. |

Hey ninetto,
