hjs89 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 At the moment to boot in normal mode you have to remove ATI4500controller y ATIX2000 kext from System/Library/Extensions. No more solutions now. Look for RadeonHD.kext to have Native Resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westie. Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I'm sorry to ask this question, but despite my desperate attempts to get the resolution changed, I fail. Obviously, I've got the Mobility HD4570 (Studio 1555), but anything 'hackintosh' wise, I'm pretty much stuck. I tried Tohych's kext (or should I call that dong?), but I can't get native resolution. Could someone please explain to me in English - or at least, UNIX speak? Thank you, and I'd appreciate any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more solutions now. Look for RadeonHD.kext to have Native Resolution. yes! same issue here. it depends on the correct ATI kexts that are not written to correctly output to our displays. radeonHD is a good alternative, but only in -x32 mode and it is not working together with x2000 kext, that enables QE/CI. I have no time to try to modify any framebuffer, so I'm waiting for somebody doing it. Maybe in a while I can spend time on this... @Westie: try to be sure your system has right drivers specs to load RadeonHD: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=204348 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, I am using the 18th December kext. ok, if, as you wrote, you cannot change resolution, first of all try to understand in system profiler if radeonhd kext has been loaded. if not maybe because of a conflict with the x2000 kext or because of the presence of the graphicsenabler=y in your com.apple.boot plist anyway ifthe radeonhd kext was loaded and you still cannot change the resolution, be sure to add -x32 kernel flag (required for this kext) on bootup. that's what is written in the page posted above, and solved my resolution change issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westie. Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 (By the way, my OS is 10.5.8) There's no ATIRadeonX2000 kext, which I presume is what you're on about. I tried to experiment with that, but ended up with a black screen, unsurprisingly (so I deleted it about a week ago). According to the System Profiler, RadeonHD is indeed loaded, and even when booting in -x32, the resolution won't change. Boo hoo. :< Also, there's no GraphicsEnabler in my com.apple.Boot.plist, to make sure, here's my plist: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Kernel</key> <string>mach_kernel</string> <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>None</string> <key>Timeout</key> <string>5</string> <key>device-properties</key> <string><% Long hex string here %></string> </dict> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westie. Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 What, must all specs be confined to signatures? Here's what I have: Intel Core2 Duo CPU T6500 ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 4GB Ram 320GB HDD (and that's needed how?) Also, should I consider moving to Snow Leopard?

MateuszD Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 It unfortunately does not work for me. I used RadeonHD in -x32 mode (ATI4500Controller.kext and atiradeonx2000.kext removed), I have not enabled graphicsenabler in boot.plist. I don't have any device properties string in boot.plist either. This makes me think my problem will remain unsolved. I don't need QE/CI for now, just want to get my 1920x1080 resolution.

npassaro Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 i need some help removing some kexts which i believ are preventing ideneb 1.6 lite edition from booting on my studio 1555. in S/L/E/, i have found the following folder which raise questions for me: Appleintelcpupowermanagement needs to go, because i've read that it screws up combo updates. the rest, i do not know what to do with AppleIntelGMA950.kext AppleIntelGMA950GA.plugin AppleIntelGMA950GLDriver.bundle AppleIntelGMA950VADriver.bundle AppleIntelGMAX3100.kext AppleIntelGMAX3100FB.kext AppleIntelGMAX3100GA.plugin AppleIntelGMAX3100GLDriver.bundle AppleIntelGMAX3100VADriver.bundle ATINDRV.kext ATIRadeon.kext ATIRadeon8500.kext ATIRadeon8500DVDDriver.bundle ATIRadeon8500GA.plugin ATIRadeon8500GLDriver.bundle ATIRadeon8500VADriver.bundle ATIRadeon9700.kext ATIRadeon9700DVDDriver.bundle ATIRadeon9700GA.plugin ATIRadeon9700GLDriver.bundle ATIRadeon9700VADriver.bundle ATIRadeonDVDDriver.bundle ATIRadeonGA.plugin ATIRadeonGLDriver.bundle ATIRadeonX1000.kext ATIRadeonX1000GA.plugin ATIRadeonX1000GLDriver.bundle ATIRadeonX1000VADriver.bundle ATIRadeonX2000.kext ATIRadeonX2000GA.plugin ATIRadeonX2000GLDriver.bundle ATIRadeonX2000VADriver.bundle ATIRNDRV.kext there are also some similar directories for some of the GeForce cards. I dont' know where to lay the blame for my laptop's inability to boot into ideneb, but i was hoping that someone who has found success with the Studio 1555 with the radeon 4570 could tell me which directories within S/L/E/ need to be removed. also, i cannot boot into safe mode under ideneb. the safe mode flag is -x right? i have been advised from several guides that it is just atiradeonx2000.kext that needs to be removed, but im not sure if those other directories are on the computers which these guides are based on.

npassaro Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 update: removing atiradeonx2000.kext did not allow my system to get past the gray apple logo. the spinning circle never showed up. i removed the four folders which begin with atiradeonx2000, so anything related to that card was removed... no avail. should i remove any and all graphics card drivers, then just upload radeonhd.kext from the december 18th post?

coalesce Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I have the mob 4570, I upgraded to 10.6.3, still doesn't work with default kexts but works with radeonHD.kext still. just delete 4500controller and x2000 kexts when it rebuilds them adfter upgrading.

npassaro Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 i can't find ati4500controller.kext when i install ideneb 10.5.8 from what i've read, he best thing to do for my laptop, the dell studio 1555 is to install with just the ichx fix and power management bundle when i search the mac os in hfsexplorer or macdrive 8, i can find S/L/E/atiradeonx2000.kext, but i can't find the other file i need to delete. also, how do you do a combo update on a hackintosh that is using a distro for the install? i can't just download the 10.6.3 update from apple and then apply it can i?

Times_Infinity Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 QE/CI for Mobility Radeon HD won't exist unless Apple starts using them in their systems. Most you will get is native res, if that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hjs89 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 i know. that's why im asking if i can use the radeonhd10.6.kext for a retail install to get native res Yes, you can. If you are doing a Retail Install from a USB drive you can remove all ATI kext and copy dong's RadeonHD kext to S\L\E (You have to use Kext Utily after that). Now you will be able to have Native Res. without QE/CI in your install. But when you will start your first boot you will have to do the same (Remove ATI's kext and Install Dong's Kext).
