I tried with ATY_Init again. Now Snow Leopard refuses to successfully boot up at all, no matter what boot parameters I use. So I went in single user and deleted ATY_Init and the kext cache. No change

hey all .. my problem is also LVDS screen but i have ATI 5650m 1gb is this solution will work ?

[Lordadmiral Drake]

Yes, the title is misleading in this matter. The same method can afaik be applied to all mobile Radeon cards which OS X has drivers for. I think that the thread title should be changed and also that a list which displays possible framebuffer - graphics chip combinations

Is it possible that this will work on a Radeon 4200?
I'm asking because I have no plan how to do this, so it will be a lot of work to read this whole thread, so when you say it's not possible in the first place I can save my time ^^

[Lordadmiral Drake]

Hmm, appearantly my problem is bigger than I thought, it seems that the entire filesystem is {censored}ed up. I better reinstall OS X and report back then

[Lordadmiral Drake]

So, after a failed attempt with iAtkos S3 I managed to get my system running again with ModCD + Retail 10.6.0
Now updated to 10.6.6 and currently installing apps, so I'm basically back to start. At least I managed to recover my dsdt before reinstalling

EDIT: Patched Framebuffer again and I get output on LVDS, this time right colors, but still with this "noise"

[Lordadmiral Drake]

Okay, one thing, here's an image of my internal screen:

In my Shrike code LVDS and HDMI both have encoder ID 01 (DIG 2), could this cause an interference leading to this screen corruption?

EDIT: Changing HDMI to DIG 1 causes not working Framebuffer

Man I guess this is over my head. I can't seem to get it to work on my Inspiron 1545 with radeon 4330m. Followed all instructions on page one to the letter.

The instructions seem to be a little vague, could anyone post a more detailed how to? I am willing to learn but feel like I'm missing some info here. Thank you

[Lordadmiral Drake]

Whose instructions did you follow, much as or crazybirdys?

[dajerm119]

Thank you for replying so fast, sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I followed crazybirdys because it seemed much simpler than muchs. I still was not successful, it seems as though it's pretty straight forward. I shouldn't have to edit anything except the ATI4600controller.kext right. I'm pretty sure my card ID is 0x95521002 so everything else stays the same? I am (obviously) pretty new to this but really want to learn. Thank you for your time.

If you got screen corruption in internal LCD, try change the "features". An example of LVDS conector info:-

0x | 00  01  02  03  04  05  06  07  08  09  0A  0B  0C  0D  0E  0F
0  | 02  00  00  00  40  00  00  00  09  01  00  00  12  01  00  01   (LVDS)

The "features" I'm referring to is at location 0x08: 0x09 = 0x08 (backlight) + 0x01 (internal). Change 09 to 00:-

0x | 00  01  02  03  04  05  06  07  08  09  0A  0B  0C  0D  0E  0F
0  | 02  00  00  00  40  00  00  00  00  01  00  00  12  01  00  01   (LVDS)

I found on some notebooks, setting "features" (0x09 = 0x08 (backlight) + 0x01 (internal)) for internal LCD can cause corrupted screen.

crazybirdys's method look easy but it doesn't work for all mobility graphic card. He make assumption that LVDS senseid always 07 but in fact it's not true. Better follow mucha's guide. If you don't understand mucha's guide, read bcc9's guide first.

[dajerm119]

Ok thank you I will give it a try.

[Lordadmiral Drake]

@Kizwan: I tried that out now. When I change feature flag to 00 I get system freeze when it should switch to desktop. When I change it to 01 theres no change to 09

[ytrox]

can i have your ioreg and pinconfig @Lordadmiral Drake

[dajerm119]

Well i managed to get the dump and the encoder and transmitter info for my radeon 4330m. Took awhile, quite a learning curve for me and very busy at work. Anyway if anyone has some spare time and is willing to help me out i would appreciate it. i am having trouble understanding exactly how to derive the needed info from this.

I've got a big big problem with my Laptop -.-
Basically I have been trying for days literally...
I know how to patch the kext with the correct info.
However I can't get the VBIOS dumped what so ever.
I have tried:
-Using the Dumper in the Start Post, however that does not work
-Using ATIFlash in FreeDOS, again doesn't work as it cannot read BIOS
-Using ATiWinFlash again can't read BIOS, even have tried using -unlock but nothing happens...
-Using nvFlash which won't really do anything
-I have used Everest and GPU-Z and they both cannot read the BIOS.

So my guess is that my BIOS ROM is locked but I have no clue even how to unlock it!
My laptop is a Dell Studio 1749 and it is a ATi Mobility Radeon 5650.
I just need the ROM or the info because I need to know the correct information to apply with the patch...

I would really really appreciate any help as I have been trying everything and I have put a lot of time into this!
Thanks to whoever can help me

[Lordadmiral Drake]

Use this: http://www.projectos...?showtopic=1029

You need to install RadeonPCI.kext and to boot 32 bit in order for it to work

[boombari]

hi guys,

I have a HP DV7-2215el with an ATI Mobility 4650 1Gb  DDR3 and a 17" display.

I try to follow this guide and others but no works

My steps:

- Lion 10.7.0
- Combo update 10.7.3
- Install Chameleon_2.0_RC5_r780_trunk_4650m_Shrike_pkg.zip
- I don't have a DSDT for my NB, so NO DSDT.aml
- try with ATI.ROM and without ATI.ROM
- Modify ATI4600Controller.kext/info.plist with the ID of my card: 9480:1002
- Modify HEX of ATI4600Controller as here: http://www.insanelym...c=252061&st=256 because i need a resolution of 1600x900
- Kext utility for repair cache, permission, ecc
- Reboot with GraphicsEnabler=Yes/No AtiConfig=Shrike ... white screen or black screen... no external VGA OR HDMI works.

What's the error ?

[neomatrix125]

I got my VBIOS through Everest
It turns out I was doing it the wrong way -.-
But...
I use the Radeon Decoder but I only get like the sense ID.
I don't really understand how I am able to get the Encoder and Transmitter codes from the BIOS O.o
