koverg Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 I need some help. Would someone with non working ATI PCIe card try the following command: ioreg -b -x -l | grep pci1002, On my machine the output is: | | | | | "compatible" = <"pci1462,78a","pci1002,5e4b","pciclass,030000"> | | | | "compatible" = <"pci1462,78b","pci1002,5e6b","pciclass,038000"> I am looking for a method to determine the ATI device ID in the command line. If this doesnt work any ideas? Regards, Gabor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koverg Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 | | | | "compatible" = <"pcie11,860","pci1002,4c66","pciclass,03000$ Thanks. According to this site (http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/iii/?i=1002:sub=1) than you should have an Radeon R250 Lf [FireGL 9000]. I am afraid of my patch will help only for PCIe cards. I think that the 9700 kext supports R300 and compatible chipsets only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJJJJ Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 my card is a Ati Mobility Radeon 9200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quixos Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 if we had your patched binary, would it be possible to replace the information you added, with our own "device id"? might be more involved than that, but it would be something for us hands on impatient types to do.

Fuzzlet Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Hehe, I was going to check for this next time I get OSx86 setup... I just got my computer going again after a HDD crash, then a PSU crash. I was just thinking of checking the binary for a devid, neat to know it works.

Sorry for the delay, I am not an experienced OSX user and developer (yet). You can download my patcher here. NOTE that you have to manually enter the device id in the command line. It should work on X700 and X800, I am not sure for other cards. Please send your experiences to this topic. It should work on 10.4.3 but I only tried on 10.4.4. Good luck, Gabor p.s.: I included a compiled binmay replacer, which I have downloaded from http://lilith.tec-man.com/binmay/ in source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZX81 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 this is a great thread! Has anyone been able to get a PCI express mobility laptop ATI card to work? (X300 or X600?) thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koverg Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 don't work on Ati Mobility 9200 This driver is for R300 chipsets and above. Yours is below. May be you should try the ATIRadeon.kext. Put your device id into Info.plist and try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autoy Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Nearly worked for my x700 mobility (ID: 5653) -v outputs no errors but I just get a blank screen after loginwindow loads I could kextload it sucessfully on -x but still, no QE/CI in this mode. Seems to be errors in mobility cards. Maybe because of hypermemory modes? I still have a bios for my laptop that disables it so I could try... Any other suggestions?

NotMeAgain Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Success AsusEAX700 Pro 256mb Artifacts visible when using dashboard/safari, but disapear when i move the active window, so no problems Your a saviour koverg, (saved me splashing out for x1600) Thanks Btw, it would work for any device id, as long as you find the string in the binary, i am really supprised nobody saw this work around before, a very similar method was posted by a user hex editing his Broadcom binary. Very well done ps. Users looking for a good Hexeditor capable of hex editing the kext binaries head on over to http://hexedit.sourceforge.net this is a small app, but you'll need Stuffit to extract it Type: VGA-Compatible Controller Bus: PCIe Slot: PCIEX16 VRAM (Total): 256 MB Vendor: ATI (0x1002) Device ID: 0x5e4b Revision ID: 0x0000 Displays: Display: Resolution: 1024 x 768 Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Supported Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Supported Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
