Hey guys,

as the title says I'm trying to get my Graphic Card to work. For that I followed mucha`s guide http://www.insanelym...howtopic=252061.
Following his guide I got those results.

Out of the results my own personality code would be

I edited the ATI Framebuffer as it says in the guide but ended up with no changes. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.0 and chameleon Bootloader Chameleon v2.0-RC4 r684 on an Acer Aspire 5738G with Intel Core2Duo T6600 Notebook
I would really appreciate it if you could help me

thanks

To make yr video card work u need to update to 10.6.6. or 10.6.7. Read this topic, will help u a little bit.

http://www.insanelym...howtopic=254906

[nils92]

thank you for your help I'm gonna update my system and report back later if it helped

[crimv]

can you teach me how to hex edit on my framebuffer


I opened my framebuffer with hex editor but unable to search which part is for lvds
Currently my pc lvds work when the laptop is plugged in with hdmi cable..

i dont know which one is lvds thanks

[Lordadmiral Drake]

from Muchas post take the appended file "birds.rtf"
It contains the original hex codes of all the 4xxx framebuffers. Just copy-paste into the hex editor search field

I updated my Snow Leopard now to 10.6.7, but now I get a kernel panic during boot. Luckily I backed up up my snow leopard partition before I updated and restored the partition. What did I do wrong can you help me?

here's a screenshot of the kernel panic

so the thing that needed to change is the framebuffers not the ati4600.kext rite? Cause i got the internal lvds graphic when i plugged in to my  hdmi.. it  detect my lvds as hdmi input..

here's a screenshot of the kernel panic

what bootloader  r u using?
did u remove sleepenabler.kext?
after update did u update ati4600controler.kext, Atiframebuffer.kext and Aty_init.kext from the given link?
r u using graphics enable in com.apple.Boot.plist or not?
r u able to go in safe mode? plz report back

[Lordadmiral Drake]

@crimv: Afaik until and including OS X 10.6.6 the connector info is in ATIFramebuffer.kext and in 10.6.7 and above the connector info is in the ATIxxxxController.kext

I can boot now into 10.6.6
I copied the mach_kernel from the working partition and replaced it with the one
on the updated partition and now it's working. I'm trying now again to edit my framebuffer.
I'll report later if it worked.

boot in safe mode (I hope u know how to do that) and use kext utility to fix permission (Always use kext utility to fix permission when u change any kext).
Did u use kext helper to move video kext to S/L/E?
and would u plz find out the Device ID of yr card?

[nils92]

I did what you told me and used kext utility to fix permissions but still get the same error messages after that I loaded both kexts the atiframebuffer.kext and the ati4600controller.kext manually via the terminal and got the following results:

[nils92]

I edited com.boot.plist and end up now with this screen http://imageshack.us...3/imageubm.jpg/
during the log it still says can't load ati4600controller.kext
is maybe something wrong with my connection table? Maybe someone can check if I did everything right

thanks in advance i really appreciate your help

[nils92]

Please could someone check the connection table? By now I think I maybe messed up something there but I'm not sure
I'm still trying to get the card working so please help
