cyberwolf Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 What is the earliest compatible OS update? I'm using 10.4.3 and the driver doesn't seem to be recognizing my card. Pretty sure I installed it right but no audio is recognized in System Profiler or in the audio System Prefs. Do I need to upgrade or could it be some other problem?

EdFlyer Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 as far as I know the only card hardware we support is the 1002 4370 i think it'll work for others, you just need to put in your device id in the Info.plist file Once we know what device id's work we'll include all the device ids in the driver hope this helps as far as i know 10.4.3 - 10.4.6 if it doesn't work on 10.4.3 i can compile it on a 10.4.4 install i have lying around so it has the right underlying frameworks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedopefishlives Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 It's compiled on a 10.4.6 system. I'll have to go back and try that with the changing to 44100 Hz. Chrs, I have a version that changes all IOLog to DebugLog so you can turn some/all of them off. Ed, the PCI IDs that it should eventually work for are listed in the Linux atiixp.c file. We should probably put them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Hmm, this driver doesn't work with my DFI Infinity RS482 (Radeon Xpress 200 chipset). The kext is loaded, but I get a "no codec" error on boot. Oh well, I'm not too surprised. This board is turning out to be very OSx86 unfriendly. Still, I'm impressed with all your hard work. And on an unrelated note. Since you're now able to tap into the southbridge for audio, would this make it easier to develop drivers for other southbridge related devices (i.e. SATA, etc?) for you or anyone else? Just curious.

EdFlyer Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 good question, i'm not sure Dark. as far as I know so far, the only related code to what we have right now would be the AC 97 56k modem the X200 chipset. As far as SATA and what-not, I'm not sure. If it works in LINUX / BSD (insert fav distro) then it is possible to get it to work in OSX. THat's the best I can say. Can you send the entire debug log with regards to your system. it would be interesting to see what the code outputted for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Sorry for being ignorant, but where is the log you need? As soon as I find it, I'll post it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spugna Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 It takes a little to have the driver gear up; but when it works it works. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdFlyer Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Tariq, that's a whole new level of work for graphics. All I can say is get an add-in card if you can. Doing an audio driver for soemthing that's pretty well documented is quite a chore. I know that I don't have the skills right now to be able to do a graphics driver. It's unfortunate that the x200 isn't supported, but I don't know how much there is that we can do. Out of curiosity, do you know if it works in any kind of open-source environment with acceleration? If it does then it may be possible to port that code, but you saw how much work it took omni, and I definitely think that he is a much more experienced coder than I am. Right now I believe it would be outside my skillset, but maybe dopefish has a different opinion on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
private Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Hi EdFlyer, I followed your instructions and now itunes plays very well on my laptop Hp dv5036 (Turion ml-32 and AtiX200 chipset). Hope it will continue to play..... Go guys, you are the best!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed, I dunno about regular x200's, but the 200M-series chipsets are completely and utterly unsupported under the DRI project (acceleration for Xorg). Even ATI's "official" support is very, very, very bad. Really, unless by some miracle someone manages to document the command registers for the 200 series, they are dead in the water graphics-wise. If anyone does ever come up with the registers and the command set, I'll gladly take on the project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, 9100 and other card with any official ati driver suport work with dri, i get almost 30fps with flurry and 2 with the same setting on osx. XGL also work fine with the accelerated GL but only in 2d because XGL dont suport DRI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedopefishlives Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I'll keep plugging away at some of the problems, when I have the time. Chrs, I'm working on experimental support for 6-channel sound via SPDIF, we'll see what happens. For now, I still have some issues with the driver on my system, so I'm going to be busy on that for a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayneoats Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Can any ony tell me why it wont work for me it said that the driver was not recanized our something like that you know when you get an erro when you load up os x an ot gives you an message about an extiontions that was not loaded right ,thats waht happen for me. I have an ATi radon 200 chip set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedopefishlives Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 New release! First of all, this is a .tar.bz2 that has been zipped. Yes, that's right, three different compression programs. Only to upload a simple little bzipped, tarred directory. *rolls eyes* So you'll have to unzip it (if Mac doesn't do that automatically), then extract the tar and unpack it. Secondly, I think I fixed some of the delay issues, and I included ***EXPERIMENTAL*** 6-channel support. It has NOT been tested, because I don't have a 6-channel capable card. Lastly, all IOLog messages have been changed to DebugLog statements, so those of you who want to eliminate the logging can do so. Keep me posted on how things are going, and I'll keep plugging away on bugfixes and testing until this thing works for all the people the Linux drivers work for. Tariq, if you can actually get the register set for this POS graphics card, you are . ATIAppleAC97Audio.tar.bz2.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilopopo Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Just tested the newly uploaded drivers and it seems that it initializes when the sound starts but sometimes there is a lag when it gets initialzed. Either that or it initializes late. I can hear the difference between this release and the previous release. This release seems to be more active.

thedopefishlives Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Yes, the problem was that the system wasn't properly initializing the output DMA channel. Silly me. I don't know about the other lags, they may be related to logs, but I don't know. Still working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
