spinnach Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Hi,I also have dell studio with 4570. full HD screen. and until now, the best resolution i got was with another ati driver and was 11XX on 8XX something. with IPC 10.5.6 Waiting for news too. Which driver did you use? I also have a Dell Studio (mine's 1555) and would like to get my video card working, but I haven't seen a working solution yet. Is there any news related to this card (just saw that the 48x0 series works so a solution for 4570 must exist). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinnach Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 So anyway, I tried installing almost all distributions I could find (had most success with iDeneb), but I haven't figured out a way to increase the resolution (now it's 1024x768). Has anyone at least figured out a way to push the resolution up to native (1366x768 in my case). The computer in case is a Dell Studio 1555, the specs are as follows: Intel Core 2 Duo T6400 Intel PM45 15.6" display 4GB RAM 800MHz 320GB Serial ATA HDD ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 Dell Wireless 1397 Dell TrueMobile Bluetooth I managed to get some of the more important stuff to work, but the only thing missing is the resolution to be really usable.

guest048 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Nope not yet Do you have some info about this? You say that it will be supported. Don't give people false hope. It won't be supported never offically because if they wanted to support it then we would already have some kexts! And without offical support i doubt that someone could create some quality kext that works fine and which can use 100% of card features like in MS Windows. Has anyone at least figured out a way to push the resolution up to native (1366x768 in my case). type this in darwin boot options: "Graphics Mode"="1366x768x32" or edit boot.plist file so you won't have to type this every time when you want to boot OSX. But no QE support and without QE i don't see why would someone use OSX, everything is so slooow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nAds Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I've been trying to run leopard on my dell studio 1555 laptop for past few days, till now I've tried kalyway 10.5.1(coz I've installed it on my desktop almost successfully few months before) & iPC OSX86 10.5.6 & somehow managed to complete the installation (used external usb keyboard & mouse to complete the installation as leopard refused to recognize my laptop keypad) Currently my studio is equipped with iPC OSX86 10.5.6 with no sound, no quartz extreme, no kexts loaded for graphic card & many more hw drivers issues. BUT MOST SURPRISINGLY I CAN USE LEOPARD ONLY WHEN EXTERNAL USB KEYBOARD & MOUSE ARE ATTACHED AS MY LAPTOP KEYPAD & TRACK PAD IS NOT RECOGNIZED. It's quite urgent to get my laptop keypad & track pad working before proceeding with other hw fixes. I believe there exists solution for this so please give a reply if u know the solution. How can I resolve the audio problem? Did I choose right distro for my dell studio1555? Is there any tutorial specifically dedicated for leopard on dell studio 1555? Which distro works best on studio 1555? Heard that the HD3600 and HD4570 have the same Device ID (9598), also both use the same GPU (RV630) so they must be compatible. Did any one tried installing the same kexts which were used for the 3600? I might give a try for this if my keypad & track pad issues are fixed. note: while installing leopard using iPC osx86 I've checked only the base system & laptop display in the custmize menu.

Cycloid Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Hi. I have a Dell Studio 15 1555 too. I have deleted the disk C partition and split it into two. I have installed VISTA again in the first partition, then I have moved the WIM factory image from the RECOVERY disk to the second partition. Then I formated the RECOVERY partition with iDenev DVD. I made MAC OS X boot by installing iDeneb 1.5.1 10.5.7 with the following drivers and fixes: Under iDeneb Patches 10.5.7 Ready, under Drivers, Under Chipset, mark "AHCI Fix" and "ICHc Fixed" also Under video drivers locate and mark "HD4830" For some reason Darwin boots directly the Windows Vista, so I have to leave the IDeneb DVD inside the unit if I want to boot from MAC partition. If I press F8 to customize Darwin boot it just do not works. I just have to boot from the DVD and wait for Darwin's timeout. I don't know how to fix that. The resolution is probably 1024 x 768. I don't have wifi, sound or good viedo yet. Does anyone know wich drivers should I use? How can I change the drivers without re-installing all the thing again? I have found in some forums that Broadcom drivers are compatible with Dell 1397 Wifi card. Let's see. I'll let you know the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have resumed my installation in the following post: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...amp;pid=1268174 My dell is still at 1024x768 and without audio. If anyone knows how to fix it please let me know. In addition, I still have to leave the iDeneb DVD inside the unit and let darwin time-out if I want to boot MAC OS.

tipsy31191 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 the problem im having is that after installing, the installation says that it needs to reboot. It then enter the shutdown screen, but the little wheel never stops spinning. If I manually shut it down and then boot and enter OSX, I just get a gray screen with flickering colors. Could the video driver be preventing the computer from properly shutting down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smnhtkmpr Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 atiradeonx2000.kext did nothing for me. did you change the ID of your card in the plist inside the kext?

npassaro Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 did you change the ID of your card in the plist inside the kext? (haven't tried it yet but i will tomorrow with my toshiba satellite L500) the device id was already in the plist i think. i checked the plist on windows before i installed the driver on my osx86 partition and if i remember correctly it was listed.
