Hi

i dont know how to do this

The bootlaoder is chameleon rev 747 with modded ati.c with corrected default framebuffer to Shrike and model name for my DeviceId: 0x9480 (Kabyl boot file is no go for me)

[ntdblizzard]

I'm having the same HD4650 as mucha but I can't find the hex string in the ATIFramebuffer file

[yanghy]

mucha,

Thanks for your guide, inspiring most of ati people.
I have a Sony Vaio VPCEB17 with Mobility 5650 and 1920x1080 internal display.
I can have QE CI enabled with 10.7 kexts. However, my internal display was scrambled.

So the first thing I would think of is 10.6.6 framebuffer personalities.
After you uploaded your Howto file, I tried over night. Not working.

I would like to need your favor to help me as belows

1. SenseID
I got radeondump my VBIOS, as below. It is very unusual, the i2cid for LVDS is missing. No matter dump from radeondump in mac or everest in Win7, Both dumps are identical the same.
I tried SenseID, 02, 03, 04, or even 00. None of them seems work for me. Is there any other way to get the SenseID? Please kindly help.

I can try and eoor this part.

Your kindly help is truely appreciated. Thanks!

[checcco]

Guys I can't get in anyway RadeonHD to return the infos I need... The kext loads but dmesg only returns an EDID table...

I think that's beacuse I'm on 5650 and RadeonHD doesn't support 5XXX series... Any hint? Maybe some linux distro?

Help, please...

What if i cannot dump my vbios? I tried gpu-z but it says "Bios reading not supported on this device" and in Everest i can't find any option to dump my vbios. How can i dump it?
I have a Mobility Radeon 4650 1Gb on a 1222sl HP

Thanks in advance

I'm trying and I have no results you could upload your kexts and chamaleon you use that same computer I have your help please

Open EVEREST Right click on status bar >>>Video debug>>>video bios dump

[wmarsh]

I can't post in Mobility Radeon HD4xxx thread. You know as a new user here.......

And use the Kabyl boot r749 which is compiled with Device of 4330 for every framebuffer (Birds) by myself.
You can try it, I think it could be used for all 4330 (9552-1002) with "GraphicsEnabler=Yes".

Each boot file....with only one framebuffer to work fine.

..

Yeah, dumb board rules. Didn't used to be like that.

Many thanks, I think having right bootloader is part of the solution.

Crazybirdy:
I would love your help in enabling my Mobility Radeon HD 4330.

Could you please post your output from bcc9's radeondump?

radeondump < yourbios.rom

I am wondering if it also lists your LVDS 2nd as it does with mine.

Also, could you post the patch you are using?

For mine it looks like:

10 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 10 00 02
02 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 09 01 00 00 12 00 01 01

But it doesn't work yet.

Excellent question.

Many laptops have video bios locked and you cannot read it with standard tools.

You can still get it using OS X

Google "dong VBIOS"
download vbios.zip from 1st hit

Open Terminal and navigate to where you unzipped vbios.zip (I use Firefox and its in /Downloads inside home directory)

sudo bash
<enter your password>
chown -R root:wheel RadeonPCI.kext
chmod -R 755 RadeonPCI.kext
kextload RadeonPCI.kext
./RadeonDump -d
exit

Your bios will be in that directory, as well as another one included in VBIOS.zip

hi everyone, I have Asus U80V (Mobility 4570 DDR2 512MB), could someone help me get CI/QE with a noob way? T

No, sorry
The method has only existed for a few days and we are still getting the bugs out

Netkas' site still says mobility is not supported, at least the 4xxx series you and I use.

Hi Mucha:

A question:
I see you order the lines in the connectorInfo table in the order you see them in your dmesg
bcc9 orders them in the order he gets from his radeondump tool

The order seems to determine the hotplugid

In my case, the order is opposite with each tool

Do you know which is right?
(I may discover by experimentation.)

[hjs89]

Thank you for this guide!! It's awesome.

I've done some test and now my LVDS port is working but not the HDMI. I'm going to post the information of my graphics card (mobility 4570 9553:1002, similar to kizwan's one)

These are my conectors in my Vbios:

I tried patching Shrike, Vervet and Peregrine:

Shrike = Both displays were detected, however there wasn't any signal in both display (black screens) (checked via VNC)

 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 BLANK

Peregrine = LVDS is working fine. HDMI display is detected but there isn't any signal (black screen).

02 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 09 01 00 00 12 00 00 07 LVDS
 00 08 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 20 01 02 02 HDMI

There is one thing that I can't understand. Why if I patched the three personalities with the same code LVDS is only working in Peregrine?

About HDMI. Some time ago it worked under Vervet personality with these code:

00 08 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 22 05 05 02

I haven't tried yet to use it now.

Do you have any idea why the other personalities are not working? I want be able to use the three ports and I won't be able to do it with peregrine

The patch is here. I use only LVDS+VGA for Peregrine, not use HDMI yet.

[Dime333]

This worked! I really appreciate your help!!

[wmarsh]

The patch is here. Hope that's useful for you.

Thank you, very helpful.

The difference in our hardware is my VG is on index 0 and LVDS on index 1
And our Sensid are different
I have been trying:

10 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 10 00 02 
02 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 09 01 00 00 12 00 01 01

So far it does not work. With Shrike gives KP.

I think we need to use a different control flag for LVDS port 1:
(Mucha talks about 2 but so far all working hacks use the 1st like you.)

10 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 10 00 02 
02 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 09 01 00 00 12 00 01 01

And I may need to use a FB with LVDS on port 1 (Shrike, Raven or Kakapo)

[wmarsh]

Mucha:
Thanks for your tremendous contribution!

I notice Shrike, Raven and Kakapo have control flag for LVDS on port 1:

00 01 00 00

I am thinking of trying this as my Mobility Radeon HD 4330 differs from crazybirdy in that mine is on port 1 (see discussion posted in this thread)

Do you have any thoughts?

[tommac_osx86]

I change the framebuffer to Peregrine for 4330.

Finally, my Mobility Radeon HD 4330 (1002_9552) is working with QE & CI on Internal LVDS screen now.

Could you please provide some more info on how you got your graphics fully supported?

Or do I just take your one of your boot-files (i386-4330-Peregrine?) and place it within the chameleon bootloader?
Do i also have add or patch any ATIFramebuffer.kext or delete something else?
At the end add "GraphicsEnabler=Yes" to "apple.boot.com....", correct?

On which laptop hardware is your system running. Mine is Lenovo Ideapad U450p with a dedicated ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330 512 MB Ram. My first try with a retail Snow Leo on it resulted a black display with little horizontal white scatches while installing via 8GB USB thumb drive. How do I get a "normal" output, so I can install my Lenovo laptop?

I could try to dump the videobios with everest within Windows 7, if this helps.

Regards, tommac

[crazybirdy]

@tommac_osx86

How to use the boot file is update on Post #20 .

I think, preinstall, you should add "GraphicsEnabler=No" not "Yes", and try to delete ATI4500**.kext and install OSX first. After that, start to patch 4330.
Do not add id of 4330 to any ATI****.kext before install.

My laptop hardware is as below.
Install with 10.6.3.retail.dmg and update to 10.6.6, then patch 4330 with QE/CI.

Acer 4810TZG / SU4100 1.3G / Mobility Radeon HD 4330 512MB (0x95521002) (QE/CI)
