hi, guys,
  I'm trying with my Toshiba P300 with 512mb ATI Mobility HD 3650.
  got C/I QE so called "enabled", all resolutions with Vanilla.  exciting thing, hum?
but this is a not a real success!
    no video can be played, mice moves like thousands tons heavy, refresh rate is n/a, many program can not be launched.
  btw, I try will many combinations of all the kext, HD3650 PKG, natit, this result is the most likely to be the real one.
  guessing it's the frame buffer problem,
  my screen blinks slightly, which surely will kill my eyes if I don't turn it off, or/and it will kill my screen.

my laptop is a Toshiba A300-1DV.I've tried the YannickD's kext but not work!!!
(I've tired with iDeneb 1.3 10.5.5, iDeneb 1.3 10.5.6, iDeneb 1.4 10.5.6 and Kalyway 10.5.6)

P300 should have the similar mobo as A300. some one posted sucessful installation on Toshiba. but I doute it's a true sucess.

my way was one of possible combinations of fuji1.kext, natit, Yanik.kext.

BTW, could YannickD verify and report where what he got is a true sucess? i.e, play DVD or avi file?

just tell me what you want to see.

and by the way , i think refresh rate will never be available on laptop displays because they are lcds and have a fixed refresh rate.
and i'm not sure if this is part of your problem , but you dont have quartzgl enabled , you should enable it (in osx86tools or somewhere else).

oh and i'm really not the kind of guy who is all like "use the search function" ... but why dont you have a look here:Mouse tearing

[caryntjen]

Ok I used the Fuijlives (or something like that) his kext also black screen internal, blue screen external.

Also tried for a second time YannicD, first installed Test 1 reboot, then installed his kext, same thing, black and blue screen.

Also when I added the kext with Kext Helper b7 when I reboot it says Updating Boot Caches.

Is there another way to try? I really would like to get things work on my Toshiba A300.
It's the Appledecrypt things I keep getting when I boot with -v -f. Is there a solution to it?

LCD surely has refresh rate, no matter under windows or OS X.
this is screenshot of my desktop which works perfectly with dual LCD, using Asus Geforce 8400GS.
Please report a DVD player or Movie player status, thank you! I just want be sure there is a way to get all things working.

Of course they have a refresh rate, but on built in lcds its a fixed one (look it up on windows, its 60hz) and osx therefore doesn't allow to change it , simply because it can't be changed.  You can read it here if you want.It's a different thing on a desktop computer.

On my laptop, both vlc and itunes play videos and dvds flawless.

Hi guys.
I have a Sony VAIO FW160 16:9 widescreen with a Mobility Radeon HD 3400 series ( 0x95C4 ). I have tried all possibilities and combinations with all those kexts. I have installed iDeneb 10.5.6 and IPC 10.5.6  and no go ( no screen, black screen, disco screen and so on ), I don't have a HDMI cable, I think it's a bios thing but I can't activate external VGA output in keyboard and there's no such option in bios, this notebbok bios sucks I can only change boot sequence.

Everyday I'll be here, if you guys need some tests...

thanks in advance.

Well here is another picture



We still need to figure out some things and we need testers....

Hey~I have a Mobility HD3470 and I deadly need a driver that can open qe/ci.
Do you need testers of Mobility HD3470 and other mobility radeons? Or just Mobility HD3650 individually?

[nzouber]

Hey Guys, I'm on an Asus M70sa with Mobility HD 3650 1Gb... just tried YannickD kext's and result is Black screen on internal, and Blue screen on VGA external, haven't tested HDMI on external (don't have the cable).

But when I do: ioreg -l w0 | grep "HDID" , it returnes nothing! This means that LCD Edid is not detected! I think Fugilives was right, we have to dump the EDID on windows and then insert it in Natit... somehow...

Here's the interesting part of my system.log after the installation of YannickD kext's:

So clearly Natit detect the card and assign it values... We have to check if those value are correct (like VRAM etc.) and if not, correct them in Natit's plist... Then try to add the EDID data in the same plist.

If EDID is present, than the framebuffer will know what screen it has to deal with and consequently will send the correct signal to the screen.

So essentially from what I understand, the problem is that the display connection on most laptop with ATI mobility prevent it to automatically transfer the Diplay's EDID info to Mac OSX. So by dumping it the EDID in windows and inserting it in Natit, it should solve the problem.

I'll try that soon and report back. I think we're almost there guys! Let's do our best and solve this problem as soon as possible!

may the force be with you.. good luck

[Aidass]

we can insert EDID into natit, but what's the point? OSX doesn't know which way to send signal, we need to insert connector tables, so it could detect EDID automaticaly and send signal in right way. connector tables are hardcoded in linux opensource drivers. deadbeef is working on that

[nzouber]

@Aidass, you must be right man! I tried EVERYTHING or at least, but no luck, tried to insert EDID in every possible way... but no luck, Display Overides no luck...!

What's weird is that i see better result without natit!

In fact without Natit the screen gets scrambled and I can see some effect of the mouse moving! Furthermore there is still computer hard drive activity! But with Natit it get's stuck to black screen internal and a complete halt to all computer activity! Even the hard-drive completely stops... Thats not a good sign...

I think the connector table idea is great! If you guys can acheive this you're really geniouses! It's our only hope for now... @Deafbeef good luck man! Keep us informed!

Thanks man! But I'm really sorry... I've tried my BEST, coding C++ and working with this EDID stuff but no sucess...  

Guys, Also let's hope that 10.5.7 which is already out (or coming pretty soon) will have some new framebuffers, drivers ...etc. that are more Mobility friendly and with better display detection!

is possible work with mobility 3650 on my Toshiba A300-1DV???

with which kext??I have tried them all and they do not work.

you're doing something wrong then

I've tried them on my Toshibe A300-AI1 and they also didn't work . I'm having a lot of AppleDecript errors... You?

Hi all,

I've been trying to get my ATi mobility hd3650 to work for few days now..
First I tried the Kalyway 10.5.2, installed all kext from the package Trial2 RV636, which YannickD used. At first it seemed like everything worked, got the 1280x800 resolution, mouse, dock.. everything worked smooth.
Couldn't play videos though, got bit of sound.. and black screen. Also noticed yesterday, that if I would drag a window over desktop fast, it would kind of break (not smooth at all).
Tried to update my install to 10.5.6, but failed, don't really get that whole DTSt patching and stuff

Today I have installed the iPC 10.5.6 Final, since I couldn't update the Kalyway, I thought perhaps this would work. Installed the kexts, same results as with previous install, except that if I drag any window fast it goes smooth, without any graphic breaks. Also tried to play a dvd.. sound works perfect, get fullscreen, but black..
Btw, in the readme of the Trial2 RV636, it says to repair permissions after, I skipped that part, because when I used it last time and rebooted, whole screen was messed up.. blocks, few colors,, etc.

I liked the Kalyway install better, for some reason now the system sees my videocard as 512mb instead of 256mb and it seems im running 1440x instead of 1280x... I doubt this helps anyone, still wanted to share.

Cheers.

!!! UPDATE !!!

Because of the wrong hardware info, and some boot errors messages, I decided to install Kalyway 10.5.2 again.
This time I installed the Trial 1 package first (the one with mobility3650pkg) and guess what, it WORKS!!!
First thing that I noticed was, the task bar became transparent, didnt have that with the Trial2 RV636..
The video worked, finally got some animation instead black screen.. BUT it was like it had trouble with playing, the sound was being interrupted all the time, so I installed some new sound patches from iPC OSx86 and perfect!

ALSO important! In my case, I installed Trial 1 package first , rebooted and it was ready! But due the sound issue I thought I needed to install the Trial2, BUT NO! It made things worse, so I reinstalled Trial1 again, tried some new Audio patches and thats IT!

If screenshots needed, I will post them later, need to figure out how to make and save them in OS X

Hello. Can you put the links for the drivers you used, and aventualy the axact steps that you did (if you run repair permission or how did you installed exact)
How did you installed Kalyway? What did you selact for the instalation? I have also Toshiba A300 so I want to do the exact steps you did. Thanks

*** Due the sound issues I tried to install the Trial 2 RV636. (download: here) which ruined it all again.. so I reinstalled the first package and applied few new patches from iPC and thats it!! ***

Until today I always tried the Trial2 first... while the very first package solves everything, (for my system).

I have done the same but still not working. My configuration it is not the same like yours and probably that is the reason.
