Hello,

 

As this is my first post, I think I have to thank all the members here and osx86 project developers as they helped me to get a mac and start learning how to develop iphone apps. I even changed my facebook photo to OSx86 :D

 

I need a help from you.

I have Vaio FW laptop and I installed 10.6.6 leohazard dvd on it. No sound, No Ethernet, no WiFi (I use usb wifi now).... But what kills me is the resolution... 1400x1050.

It's very important to me to get a 16:9 res to be able to design apps graphics well.

 

Unfortunately, I couldn't understand the topics here about patching ati 4650 framebuffer..... and when i used the attached patched kexts, my hackintosh didn't boot (also, using alc sound kexts did the same)...

 

So if any one can help me with simple steps to get my graphics card to work.. I'd be very thankful...

My laptop is still new and I don't want to pay a lot to replace it with a mac

 

Best regards

We are many who still have a hard time getting the 4650m to work, and I do understand you.

I've been looking at the topics that would be of interest, and I've tried every possible combination of all kexts, boot files,

boot loaders you name it. And still I can't even get my card to be recognized..

 

I do how ever know how go get full res (but nothing else but that)

 

For full ress you need Dongs radeonhd.kext

thanks for this fast replay.

 

I think getting widescreen res is enough for me until the guys here find an easy way.

 

Howver, I installed your RadeonHD.kext using kext utility but after that mac keeps rebooting...

It's basicly Hardware acceleration from your gfx card. For movies, games, apps etc..

Hey again..

 

Sad to hear the RadeonHd.kext didnt work out for you :/

 

Botting with -x Enters safe mode, so no unnecessary kexts are loaded. Thus the res change wont work..

 

If boot you up with -x and goto your install drive>system>library>extensions you can find the RadeonHd.kext and delete it.

 

You should be able to boot up in normal mode again..

 

But where to go from there I dont know. I havent had my 4650m working yet either :/

On my Sony FW54M (having a mobility radeon 4650 inside), the RadeonHD.kext is working, giving me full resolution but no QE/CI.

 

As I read in other threads, I would need to patch my framebuffer to get QE/CI. For this, I need to extract the i2cid values from the VRAM bios dump. The problem is, the LVDS connector does not have a i2cid value:

 

ATOM BIOS Rom: 
SubsystemVendorID: 0x104d SubsystemID: 0x9035
IOBaseAddress: 0xd000
Filename: BR34169.001

Connector at index 0
Type [@offset 46098]: LVDS (7)

i2cid [@offset 46179]: 0x90, OSX senseid: 0x1

Encoder [@offset 46122]: INTERNAL_UNIPHY (0x1e)
i2cid [@offset 46202]: 0x94, OSX senseid: 0x5

 

do you have an idea how to solve this?

 

Kind regards and thanks in advance

I will take a look at my configuration tomorrow and will come back zu to.

 

Nevertheless, the RadeonHD way is not really practicable. My laptop gets quite hot a the fan is much louder than under windows. It seems is has something to do with the graphics driver...

Our aim should be to get the mobility 4650 running with the native drivers (and a hex-patched framebuffer) with QE/CI.

 

Kind regards

RadeonHD.kext is not necessary for QE.

 

Here's a linklist with people who have the same problem, no i2cid with radeon_biod_decode on Sony Vaio devices. Maybe one of them will find a solution?

This guy seems to had progress with his Sony VAIO (but different Radeon)

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1686688

 

He also had the "clouds" which moob had mentioned.

 

Next time i'll try changing LVDS from (as kizwan had suggested)

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

to:

02 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 09 01 00 00 02 01 00 00

Perhaps this will work?! yanghy suggested 02 as Senseid (last block of numbers).
