Kizwan, unfortunately the new framebuffer gave black screens for VGA, LVDS and HDMI.

I got an idea, I replaced ATIRadeonx2000.kext with the one from lion and I got blue screen on lvds!!! I have snow leopard as a background, in a couple of minutes blue screen was replaced with completely smudged leopard screen (similar to RadeonHD. kext, which never worked for me). No, I heard that the framebuffer and controller for lion are different. Can I paste Shrike code into it? What is the right way to do this?
Thanks for all your help!

Kizwan, unfortunately the new framebuffer gave black screens for VGA, LVDS and HDMI.

I think the kext or one of the ATI kexts is not loaded. Please check.

I am just curious, has anybody succeed enabling LVDS on Dell Studio 1747?

It seems like a really tough nut.

Any thoughts and ideas are much appreciated!!!
Thanks!

Any news on VAIO laptops? As I said I have a 4650 in a VAIO FW 495j (full HD LVDS) and can't get it to work, I get no signal...

Any news on VAIO laptops? As I said I have a 4650 in a VAIO FW 4650 (full HD LVDS) and can't get it to work, I get no signal...

Exact same thing here. Vaio VGN FW4(custom, from Sony's website in Germany), with Mobility Radeon 4650 1GB, 1080p display.

I am checking this thread and two other threads 3, 4 times a day. I am in a desperate situation. I need full res and QE/CI for some OS X and iOS development.

Work on these radeons is much appreciated by all of us. I hope I'm not too melodramatic but I feel so helpless, I can only sit and wait because I don't have any spare time(graduation thesis).


I hope a final solution which works for all of us is coming soon.
Best of wishes

The kext is not loaded, but when it is loaded, I have black screens, and no VNC (that how I know it is loaded)

I installed Lion video kexts, with them I have both HDMI and VGA full support!! but LVDS still not working properly, sometimes its black sometimes blue or white with smudges .

You should be able to connected remotely via VNC. If you unable to connected remotely via VNC, it means something wrong is going on, usually some kexts is not loaded.

I finally tested the new framebuffer. The interesting thing, I could see HDMI screen via VNC. Unfortunately all screens remained black.

Please post IORegistry dump.

hi kizwan
is it possible to create script like audio patches that replace the device id in applehda with our device.
i don't have any programing skill to do it but if it possible and you can create the script that automatically replace device id in ati4600conttroller and shrike frambuffer hex value with modded one.evry one can edit it with his specification .its can be a great script
thanks

Thanx mucha for the great guide.

I got all resolutions and QE/CI on my laptop with HD4650 [9480:1002].

I've modded a shrike personality with

02 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 09 01 00 00 12 01 00 07
10 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 10 01 06
00 08 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 20 01 02 01

But I still have a problem with internal monitor. I can see desktop and mouse, but desktop has a lot of vertical lines.
It looks like 1 line is normal the next one is corrupted.

Maybe someone knows how to solve this issue?

I'm using 10.6.6 SL with original ATI kexts.

Laptop: hp pavilion dv7 2130ef
CPU: Intel Q9000
Ram: 4GB
Video: ati radeon hd4650

this moded shrike for hp pavilion-dv6
you can compare it

02 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 09 01 00 00 12 00 00 07
10 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 10 01 06

00 08 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 20 01 02 01

The only difference is

02 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 09 01 00 00 12 [color="#FF0000"]00[/color] 00 07
10 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 10 01 06
00 08 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 20 01 02 01

and I have 01, but it does not matter because I have this issue both with 00 and 01.
The strange is that screenshots are normal. Here is a sample.

dv7 has native resolution 1600x900. maybe this cause a problem.

Congratulations on your success!
Interestingly, you used encoder 02, reserved for DIG_3 (Radeons HD 5XXX and above) and it worked! I tried to replicate your method but it did not work. I think I have pretty similar laptop Dell Studio 1747 with ATI HD4650 [1002:9480] and 1600x900 resolution. Any advice is much appreciated, I am begining to pull my hair...

I was used a tricky method to get it work. I have 2 hdd on my laptop.
On the first drive I have Fedora 14. So for the MacOsX installation and Driver manipulation I'm using VirtualBox that has access to my 2nd hdd.
This method is good for investigating the problems with videocard. because modified ATI framebuffer will not be loading in VirtualBox.

The exact method I was using:
1. I tried ti find a control flags. Tried this values(0x14,0x40,0x100,0x214) this is a control that could be. So if you have a simple black screen you are on right way
2. The same way I was trying the values for transmitter and encoder. when I put encoder 0x00 or 0x01 I can see the desktop but the image was broken.
3. I insert my edid value, make a dsdt patch for dual link. I still had a problems with display.
4. then I start to patch EDID again. in the http://www.insanelym...howtopic=208410 in step 6

Reboot, wait a while, or do whatever it takes to boot so the display is NOT right

so I tried encoder 0x02 and it start work.

maybe you should try other encoders. because it looks like that laptops with resolution higher than 1280x1024 could use other encoders than 0x01 and 0x00

Thanks for your reply. For some reason I have only HDMI working properly, and black screens for VGA and LVDS.
Do you think I should try different control flags for VGA and LVDS or black screens mean the control flags are correct?
