omni Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Here's the screenshot from my Apple Cinema Display 20" in DVI-D mode, 1680x1050x32 resolution showing clearly that there is TEARING in the image (look at the middle of the screen, across all the topics), and it's coming from Apple's IOAccelerator and not my driver. If I dont load the accelerator, there's no tearing in the image. The accelerator itself could need some additional parameters or it depends on something else, no idea at the moment, and it's not really important to me right now. Everyone lived with tearing before - you will learn to live with it again until a final solution is made... P.S. it was JaS who figured out to edit the ATIRadeon9700GA.plugin's Info.plist and match my framebuffer instead of IONDRVFramebuffer to get this to work, credits to him for that.

quietglow Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Man, I am salivating. There is nothing like running a 23" Cinema Display at 1280x1024 for a month or two to make you really appreciate accurate resolution above all else. Thanks Omni! We're cheering for you!

Twinkikabuki Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Except us nforce 3 users are still whining... cause noone seems to know what the deal is with the slow quartz... whoever could fix that would be a GOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks omni, JaS, hopefully this will allow me to change resolution/settings in games, when it's released Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzlet Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Great news man... I've got a feeling once the driver is working, the tearing issue might become a much easier problem to solve. Especially since you know where the issue lies. You're efforts are greatly appreciated. Twinkikabuki: What is this slow quartz on nForce3 you speak of?

kin123 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Omni, JaS -- great work! Here's a question: Does this driver impact (improve) powermanagement, in terms of the screen actually going to sleep? My Radeon mobility refuses to sleep (display stays active) regardless of the setting in power options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigboss Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 nice! i cant wait for the final!!! i think i know the answer but will QE/CI will work with radeon 7500 to radeon 9250 or it will work only with card that was working before? i thought that Core Image was only available for 9600 cards and up and 5200 series cards and up for nVIdia.

docangle Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 What does this driver accomplish? Does it allow you to change resolutions? Or is this just for power savings per 'http://fdd.com/software/radeon/'. What is the installation procedure? I have an ATI x800 VendorID x5b621002.

JaS Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 doesn't work JaS try adding your device ids to the kext,also this is just to help with sleep not res and refresh... thats not ready for release yet. Omni is the one working on the ATI driver so when he says its ready you will know. I was just lucky to get to try it out,and I tried to link the GA kext to his framebuffer and not IONdrv luckily it worked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All what happens is that the cursor dissapear when the screen is supposed to sleep. I've opened the Info.plist in the RadeonTool package but I can't find a place where to put my device ID at. Would you mind to elaborate a bit more about this step? Thanks a lot in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tek_No Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Way to go Omni and JaS Finally I will get rid of the ugly stretched widescreen desktop (just in time cause my eyes are getting worse every day while using it like this) Tiburon: no, there are currently no drivers available for download until Omni decides to release them...
