OMG! I got ATI 5730 HD WORKING!!!

 

just follow the guide DO not skip steps (Especially step 4)

 

ALL looking good!

 

How do I check if it is QE/CI?

 

hi yes i wrote that guide and is same as here

 

For QE?CI you should have water ripple effect in dashboard and should be able to run DVD player and front row

I follow your guide, I have the same laptop, but when I restart have problem and don´t boot "only the apple logo" 1,2,3...minutes and forever.

 

I think , Iam doing wrong something.

1- install 10.6.6

2-install the keys of lion aty

3-install from [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] this Chameleon 2.0 RC5 - ATI Experimental in [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] 3.3 (kabyl code added)

is correct?

4-when I install Chameleon 2.0 RC5 - ATI Experimental in [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] 3.3 (kabyl code added)

and go to the step 5.Use this command in com.apple.boot.plist in Extra folder, I go to the harddisk and there isn´t a folder extra. where is?

So, I think that I have to install the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] Chameleon 2.0 RC5 - ATI Experimental in [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] 3.3 (kabyl code added) this is correct?

the next step....

I can´t follow to the next step, because I haven´t com.apple.boot.plist in Extra folder or.....

I have to create the extra folder and the com.apple.boot.plist with textedit and save in extra folder with this code

 

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
  <string>Yes</string>
 <key>AtiConfig</key>
  <string>Hoolock</string>
 <key>UseAtiROM</key>
  <string>Yes</string>

 

 

Another question...

You say in your guide

3.Dump your Card bios & Rename the dumped bios 1002_68C0.rom and put it in your Extra folder

 

(Work without bios ) what do you want to say? I don´t need to do this step, is correct?, because I didn´t it

 

Ok, a lot of people have the same laptop asus n61jq, ...Why don´t attach the modificed DisplayProductID-717, I fallow the guide , but if is wrong my DisplayProductID-717 modificed

 

thank for your work, I think is a great work, and when all the user of this laptop find to run osx, sure you will recive a lot of thanks and kiss

 

 

at first install osx same as this post after that go and install graphic

for your booting do this :

 

1-just boot another time with EFI help

 

2- install 10.6.6 combo update don't restart (most important)

 

3-go System/Library/Extension & delete ATI5000, ATISupport and ATIFramebuffer

 

4- open [url=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/url] 3.3

 

5- check this sections in [url=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/url]

 

A- System Utilities

 

B- ElliottForceLegacyRTC.kext & EvOreboot & FakeSMC & NullCPUPowerManagement in

 

Miscellaneous section

 

C- Chameleon 2.0 RC5 - ATI Experimental in Bootloaders section

 

D- 64-bit GraphicsEnabler=No in Customization> Boot Options

 

E - MacBook Pro in Customization > System Definitions

post the result here and a tell you how to install graphic card

 

Hi mojtabazarei,

 

Thx for your great help on the grapic card.....i am really fresh on OSX86....

 

I have been follow the step of graphic card installation.

 

I am using N71JQ with same spec as N61JQ but with hight resolution screen.

 

 

would you mind to have a look what i did have mistake?

 

step as below:

(1) [url=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/url] dise with snowleopard 10.6.3 retail DVD as installation

 

(2) install 10.6.6 update combo and install Lion's ATI kexts as you mention "NOT REBOOT YET"( should i install the update combo in safe mode -x ? or just install it as normal mode?)

 

(3) install Chameleon 2.0 RC5 - ATI Experimental in [url=&quot;http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/&quot;]#####[/url] 3.3 (should i choose GrapicEnabler = No in 64 bit ?)

At step (3), actually i didn't choose GrapicEnabler = No, i just chose the essential kexts for bootloader ,afterward, and i have replace the boot file which you provided from Checcco - boot version r749 (the boot version form Multibest 3.3 ATI Experimental is r748 and it just keep showing

"unsupported card" at the boot screen, same result in boot r700) ( if i replace the boot file to r730,

the laptop screen is gone black and HDMI works fine, with resoultion changes but without QE/CI)

 

(4) after install Chameleon, i put the ATI 5730m rom - 1002_68C0.rom to the extra folder.

modify the com.apple.boot.plist as below:

 

<key> GraphicEnabler</key>

<string>Yes</string>

<key> AtiConfig</key>

<string>Hoolock</string>

<key> UseAtiROM</key>

<string>Yes</string>

I stud Here!

 

Is it mean that the DisplayproductID = 109 ?? or something else

i know the Raw Data is the infomation which i have to put in........

 

But i can't figure out the DisplayVendorID.....

 

Thus i use your attached DisplayProductID-717 file for test(replace the original one in S/L/D/overrider/displayvendorID-756e6b6e ......it able to boot in desktop but and the screen is messed up...and it appare "8 indepent samll screen "

 

i keep trying to use different AtiConfig, some of them with "4 indepent samll screen ", some of them just make the system hang......

 

But i do think i did something worng on EDID......

 

if it is possible to help me on the EDID?

Hi All,

have you guys figure out hoe to install video for Radeon Mobility HD5730 with full hardware acceleration support?

i heard there is a native .kext available.

 

If so, can we have main topic updated. I want to give my N61J another chance with MacOS.
