VoRTeX15O Posted March 23, 2006 Author Share Posted March 23, 2006 It's an 14" T43P 1400*1050 version 2668OCVmobility v3200 device ID:3154 Sorry for delaying. I couldn't find anything this time. There was another site with a video of what you're describing. I can't remember where it was, but he's also waiting for a fix and his laptop isn't a T43p. Send me your email address and I can send you my ATIRadeon9700.kext . Don't know if that's going to help any, but it's worth a try. Let me know.

raysmd Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 ok, so I did a little digging and found the X1600 Device ID for the MBP. I think it's 0x71c5. The FireGL V5200's device id is 0x71c4. I found that string (0x71c5) in the ATIRadeonX1000.ktext/info.plist. I couldn't find the same string in reverse (c5 71) in the ATIRadeonX1000.ktext/MacOS/ATIRadeonX1000 file. So, daringly, I just edited only the info.plist file with the correct device ID and volia. No need to Modifly any other file. It works perfectly with the ATI FireGL V5200 on a Thinkpad T60p Quick question: how do you guys modify the graphics card description so that it shows up properly in System Profiler. My has a generic name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My has a generic name. WOW a T60p already running OSx86? well that's just sweet. Have you benched it using xbench now that you have OpenGL support? I'm just curious how the Core Duo ThinkPads run. Apparently, I had to edit both files. As far as how thing goes, I still have the generic name as 'VGA-Compatible Controller' . Nice find though.

raysmd Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 it was your thread and koverg's thread that helped me get the correct resolution. Thanks, and yes, I did bench it using xbench 1.2. Not too different. check it out http://db.xbench.com/merge.xhtml?doc2=158712 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac_newbie Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 Hi raysmd, Good to know that your T60p with FireGL 5200 works great. I have couple of questions for you. I'm actually trying to get the best compatible dual core notebook and just returned my Inspiron 6000 since the max resolution I can go on that is 1280x1024 (stretched with no widescreen). 1. Do you get true widescreen with 10.4.4/.5? How much max resolution you can get? 2. Is your wireless working? (Did you get ThinkPad wireless a/b/g or the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG)? I heard that the Intel wireless card is not working. 3. Do you get mouse tearing/artifacts? 4. How about sound? Is it working great? 5. DVD writer ==> Is it dual layer and also does it work fine? 6. Any light leakage on the LCD? My i6000 did and that was also a cause for my return. 7. Since T60p is a dual core, is the dual core recognized by Mac OS X as a dual processor? Any stutters, graphic glitches when running for couple of hours? 8. Does this model come with ThinkLight? 9. If I get a T60 and not T60p, will the same workaround done for FireGL 5200 work on T60 and also get widescreen display? Because, T60 has a ATI X1400 card. Sorry for lot of questions. Since this is very expensive, I want to spend my money right. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raysmd Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 mac_newbie, The Thinkpad can always be returned within 30 days. no questions asked. so, here's what I suggest; get whichever model you want and/or can afford. If it doesn't work out, then just return it. FULL REFUND. Answers: 1. The T60(p) is not a widescreen laptop. It's a standard display. I get the max resolution which is 1400x1050 from a 14" LCD. There is a 15" version which all the Thinkpad owners rave about. It's supposed to be fantastic with it's "flexview" display technology. The resolution for that one is 1600x1200 or 1400x1050 depending on which model you get. I'm sure that the FireGL V5200 will display whatever resolution the graphics card is capable of, whether it's on OSX or winxp. 2. yes, wireless is working. DO NOT get the Intel version. I got the Thinkpad 11 a/b/g version. It's an overall better WiFi card, even if you're not going to use it with osx. 3. yes, I do get mouse artifacts, but no tearing artifacts. I think this is because the driver is not yet fully optimized. 4. Sound is not yet working because I didn't have time to tell osx what kind of audio device I have. I'm sure it's the same workaround as the FireGL V5200. 5. DVD writer is dual layer and it works fine. Single layer burns at 8X. Dual layer at 2.4X 6. No leakage on the 14" LCD. If you can stand to have a bigger laptop, then definitely go with the 15" flexview. It's supposed to be very nice. The viewing angles are superb. check out the 15" below. I only got the 14" becuase I already hate the weight of a 14". I much prefer a subnotebook http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=22543 and http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=46522 7. yes, it is recognized as a dual core. No stuttering or any kind after 6 hours. 8. all thinkpads come with a thinklight (I believe all). 9. I'm not sure about the X1400 work around. I'm sure it's quite possible. let me know what you end up getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas how to fix it? Uh ohh. I can only tell you how to work on a disk that's now rendered pretty much GUI-less to you - which means you can still get to the terminal. Only if you can boot into single user mode but the keys won't work as they do on Macs. You need to boot using your Mac OS X install cd to get to single user mode. What you need to do is... Boot the cd as if you're going to reinstall the OS. Once at the screen with File Edit View etc at the top, the install disk will have an option for you to access Terminal.app on one of the top drop-down menus. Use the Terminal and type: '/sbin/mount -t hfs -rw /dev/disk0sX /Volumes' where X=your slice or partition number maybe 1 or 2. Your hard drive's device should be something like disk0s1 or disk0s2 - you need to find out which device, but most likely it's one of those two. Then replace the files you've changed so your video will work correctly. I hope you've backed up the original files. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VoRTeX15O Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 Have you tried to enter the graphics mode switch at the boot prompt? Does it work for you? If so, search on editing the com.apple.Boot.plist file for making it permanent... Mine defaults to 1024x768. To set it permanently, change the content of /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist to look: <key>Kernel</key> <string>mach_kernel</string> <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>-v "Graphics Mode"="1280x1024x32"</string> <key>Boot Graphics</key> <string>Yes</string> '-v' is verbose - you don't need to inlude that.

Having worked in the industry for a while I know the number one rule when messing with file BACKUP. So I just mounted the disk into my XP system and copied over the backup. I will email you my address - if you could send me your file that would be cool as it seems we have the same laptop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloggerman Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 The best thing to do is go to the Terminal and su to root 1) 'cd' to /System/Library/Extensions and do a 'cp -rf' to copy to a backup location where you can back up your original ATIRadeon9700.kext . 2) Then do this again except this time 'cp -rf' a copy to your working desktop. 3) 'cd' to your working desktop where your ATIRadeon9700.kext is and 'mv' to rename it to just ATIRadeon9700 w/o the .kext at the end. Now it's a folder. 4) do a 'chmod -R 777 ATIRadeon9700' 5) now you can access and edit the files and after done editing, rename using 'mv' ATIRadeon9700 back to ATIRadeon9700.kext 6) 'mv' to move the edited kext back into your Extensions folder where it's suppose to be over the original copy assuming you've backed up the original somewhere 7) 'rm' to delete Extensions.mkext and Extensions.kextcache 8) run /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app and repair your OSx86 drive's permissions and reboot OMG!!

Rob_Quads Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 After a bit of searching I found a kext from 10.4.6. I have tried using that and replacing the hex edit with 3D 54 31 00 00 and 3D 31 54 00 00. I have also updated the Info.plist file with 0x5B601002 became 0x31541002. One thing I have noticed that is different from others is on my Display properties it currently is listed as a PCIe device rather than PCI - could this make the difference? I also checked the 10.4.8 kext did not work out of the box but it did not.
