I just got a Dell Studio 15 laptop, and it has an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 card.

Is it compatible with OSx86?

It is part of this series.

Any news?

Nope not yet

Hi,
I also have dell studio with 4570. full HD screen. and until now, the best resolution i got was with another ati driver and was 11XX on 8XX something.
with IPC 10.5.6

Waiting for news too.

Which driver did you use? I also have a Dell Studio (mine's 1555) and would like to get my video card working, but I haven't seen a working solution yet. Is there any news related to this card (just saw that the 48x0 series works so a solution for 4570 must exist).

So anyway, I tried installing almost all distributions I could find (had most success with iDeneb), but I haven't figured out a way to increase the resolution (now it's 1024x768). Has anyone at least figured out a way to push the resolution up to native (1366x768 in my case). The computer in case is a Dell Studio 1555, the specs are as follows:

Intel Core 2 Duo T6400
Intel PM45
15.6" display
4GB RAM 800MHz
320GB Serial ATA HDD
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570
Dell Wireless 1397
Dell TrueMobile Bluetooth

I managed to get some of the more important stuff to work, but the only thing missing is the resolution to be really usable.

Do you have some info about this? You say that it will be supported. Don't give people false hope. It won't be supported never offically because if they wanted to support it then we would already have some kexts! And without offical support i doubt that someone could create some quality kext that works fine and which can use 100% of card features like in MS Windows.


type this in darwin boot options:
"Graphics Mode"="1366x768x32"
or edit boot.plist file so you won't have to type this every time when you want to boot OSX.

But no QE support and without QE i don't see why would someone use OSX, everything is so slooow...

So what we can say about that card will it work or not? i also have dell stuido 1555 but dont find any result abt osx. Is that card will work with new upcoming Snow Leopard? 



Thanks

I've been trying to run leopard on my dell studio 1555 laptop for past few days, till now I've tried kalyway 10.5.1(coz I've installed it on my desktop almost successfully few months before) & iPC OSX86 10.5.6 & somehow managed to complete the installation (used external usb keyboard & mouse to complete the installation as leopard refused to recognize my laptop keypad)
Currently my studio is equipped with iPC OSX86 10.5.6 with no sound, no quartz extreme, no kexts loaded for graphic card & many more hw drivers issues.

BUT MOST SURPRISINGLY I CAN USE LEOPARD ONLY WHEN EXTERNAL USB KEYBOARD & MOUSE ARE ATTACHED AS MY LAPTOP KEYPAD & TRACK PAD IS NOT RECOGNIZED.

It's quite urgent to get my laptop keypad & track pad working before proceeding with other hw fixes.
I believe there exists solution for this so please give a reply if u know the solution.

How can I resolve the audio problem?
Did I choose right distro for my dell studio1555?
Is there any tutorial specifically dedicated for leopard on dell studio 1555?
Which distro works best on studio 1555?

Heard that the HD3600 and HD4570 have the same Device ID (9598), also both use the same GPU (RV630) so they must be compatible.
Did any one tried installing the same kexts which were used for the 3600?
I might give a try for this if my keypad & track pad issues are fixed.


note: while installing leopard using iPC osx86 I've checked only the base system & laptop display in the custmize menu.

DELL STUDIO 1555 :

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T6500 (2.10GHz/ 800 FSB/ 2MB Cache)
intel PM45 chipset
4GB (2X2GB) DDR2 SDRAM Memory
256MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570
320GB SATA Hard Drive

15.6” 720p WLED (1366x768) Display with TrueLife™ and Built-in 2.0MP Web Cam
Intel High Definition IDT 92HD73C1 Audio 2.2

does this fix really works?
It didn't worked for me, I'm using dell studio 1555

http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php?...0&board=8.0

works on all keyboard and mouse/trackpad

Please research before installing OSX

Bumpdiggity! Just wondering about the HD 4570 card compatability.

I have a Sony VAIO SR Series and it's all running like a charm just sick of 1024x768, need my 1280x800!

Thanks!

How'd it work like a charm except QE?
it's almost worthless to run mac OS without quartz extreme enabled ....
plenty of apps won't work as ur VRAM is not usable

Hi everyone, i bought a dell studio 1555 and i had been trying to install iAtkos v7 at least 20 time, with out succesfull, can anyone tell me, how do i install it? all the steps in the customize section and after the install if i had to put some parameters on the boot,
i will apreciate any info,
thanks in advance

Well yes, it's gimped. I meant the install went well, right now I am just using win7 and biding my time MUHAHAHAHA.

Hi.
I have a Dell Studio 15 1555 too.

I have deleted the disk C partition and split it into two. I have installed VISTA again in the first partition, then I have moved the WIM factory image from the RECOVERY disk to the second partition.

Then I formated the RECOVERY partition with iDenev DVD.

I made MAC OS X boot by installing iDeneb 1.5.1 10.5.7 with the following drivers and fixes:

Under iDeneb Patches 10.5.7 Ready, under Drivers, Under Chipset, mark "AHCI Fix" and "ICHc Fixed" also
Under video drivers locate and mark "HD4830"

For some reason Darwin boots directly the Windows Vista, so I have to leave the IDeneb DVD inside the unit if I want to boot from MAC partition.

If I press F8 to customize Darwin boot it just do not works. I just have to boot from the DVD and wait for Darwin's timeout. I don't know how to fix that.

The resolution is probably 1024 x 768. I don't have wifi, sound or good viedo yet. Does anyone know wich drivers should I use?

How can I change the drivers without re-installing all the thing again?

I have found in some forums that Broadcom drivers are compatible with Dell 1397 Wifi card. Let's see. I'll let you know the results.

Hi people! I'm finally here posting from my new OS X installation.
I have resumed my installation in the following post:
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...amp;pid=1268174

My dell is still at 1024x768 and without audio. If anyone knows how to fix it please let me know. In addition, I still have to leave the iDeneb DVD inside the unit and let darwin time-out if I want to boot MAC OS.

Peace

I have a Vaio SR as well, but I can't seem to get OSX86 to install. Which release are you using? I'm trying with the iATKOS_7 version. What customized settings are you using?

http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.php?...ed&pid=1128

under ATIRadeonX2000.kext, theres a device id listed for the mobility 4500 series.

but apparently this kext can be found in an iatkos v7 install.

can you find that file anywhere?

the problem im having is that after installing, the installation says that it needs to reboot. It then enter the shutdown screen, but the little wheel never stops spinning. If I manually shut it down and then boot and enter OSX, I just get a gray screen with flickering colors.

Could the video driver be preventing the computer from properly shutting down?

not sure.

try doing a combo of retail and iatkos.

install retail leopard with the boot 132 method and then load up iatkos, don't install the iatkos main system, just select the drivers you need. you used ATI HD on iatkos right?

video doest work. on ideneb 10.5.5, i've gotten sound to work on a studio 1555, i've gotten ethernet to work, usb, keyboard and mouse all worked too.

atiradeonx2000.kext did nothing for me.

Why select HD 4830?
does it make the 4570 work? (QE/CI enabled?)
what about the "resolution fix" selection?

for audio, try either IDT, or AppleAzaliaAudio.

did you change the ID of your card in the plist inside the kext?
(haven't tried it yet but i will tomorrow with my toshiba satellite L500)

the device id was already in the plist i think.
i checked the plist on windows before i installed the driver on my osx86 partition and if i remember correctly it was listed.

this will get everything to work except for the blasted graphics card, though im fast working on it!

My tutorial for studio 15

Also working on the 4570, wish I had more time to dedicate to it but I've dinked with it for a bit now.

ID is 1002 9553 on the 4570 in my Toshiba U500, and if the ATI kexts are present I have to start up in safe mode or delete them in single user mode or I get a garbled screen.

Tried 10.5.8 from iAtkos load, and a plain vanilla install of 10.6 with the update to 10.6.1. All of them did the same thing, garbled screen or blocks of white and black and a freeze. Looks like this card is similar to the 4350 and 4550 desktop cards, the M92 chip is based off the RV710.

Really hoping to see future support for this card with QE/CI, everything runs beautifully except for graphics =(

any news? do we have hope about it card or it also same like intel x4500?

I got Quartz GL to work on my studio 1555, thanx to OSX tools ...
But no Quartz extreme yet as the kexts for hd4570 are not loaded.

Does Quartz GL has any effect over the system performance?
I didn't notice any

any progress on screen resolution?

@npassaro

no change in screen resolution it's still 1024x768
only thing that would make it change is by loading the appropriate kext for our graphics card, but being one of the latest graphics card (HD4570), I think we'll have to wait till apple uses the similar one in their desktops/laptops OR keep dreaming that some developer would write kext for our device

I dont know, if you going to install ideneb you can try de driver for HD 3650... may work....

I have the same card on Acer As 5536.
I`ve installed driver for HD 3650 and can`t still change the resolution:(

damn installd iatkos v7 instals great every thing ok but no network no sound and only safe mode boot becouse if i boot normaly i get i gray screen and some wird imagines froam the cursor.....
amd turion x2
4 gig ram
gigabit broadcom netlink

Hey guys, could any of help me out? Im new here. Im currently using HP Pavillion Dv2 - 1003AX. Its a AMD Athlon-Neo Processor, with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3450 graphic card. I was just wondering whether the Mac OS X 10.5.6 would work on my laptop. And if yes, where could i find the instructions to do so. I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me out here.

on my ACER Aspire 5536g I use RadeonHD.kext. It fix resolution to 1366x768 but doesn't enable QuartzExtreme. After installing, only first time write kernel flag "Graphics Mode"="640x480x16" and change resolution once more time in system preferences.
ps sorry for my poor english

woow!!! It worked for me!! I've a Acer 5738Z with ATI Mobility Radeon HD4570 and I can change resolution with RadeonHD.kext. I started with 640x480 mode the first time.

Thanks!! Not CI/QE but at least Native Resolution!!

Hi guys. I've done the same as SilentViper in this pos thttp://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=204348 and now it works better. I've changed enableHWCurso from True to False and now I don't need to put graphics mode in the boot. It works fine since the first moment

Any more/new info on this? Will we ever see the 4570 with QE/CI?

i have a 4650,but i still cant get the mac os feel so bad

any body help us to find that driver pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
we all neeed to install leopard but without display driver no MAC....

Hi, I've read a lot about ATI cards the last days. I think that we have the same problem that HD4330's users. (The 4330 and the 4570 have the same chipset). The problem is that the system can't detect the monitor well when we use the ATI's kext (10.6.2). You can see more information in this topic and this one.

I've tested with 4500 & X200 kext with my DeviceID (9553) and I've the blackscreen.Maybe somebody makes a fix soon.

Are you able to boot into the system in normal mode, in my case I can only boot in safe mode when normal mode boots normally and then goes into black screen (sometimes very strange lines appear)?
