Trucker, I would like to try if I can patch the ATI6000Controller.kext myself. Could you give me some fast instructions on what to patch, and how to do that? I really can't wait untill 22:00 .
God, I'm so impatient :S

Thanks!

Find the Ipomoa personality offset in the ATI6000Controller.kext (You can do this with ATI-personality.pl, go few pages back, there's a link for it). Than open the kext with hex editor and replace the values starting at that offset with my ipomoea configuration (look for it on post #1)

[Basaa]

Working on it real hard.

When I don't succeed, would you still do it for me tonight please?

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it

[Trucker MK]

Yes, don't worry. I'll do it anyway.

For LVDS, change transmitter from 20 to 10 if you are using my DSDT patch.

[Basaa]

I have no idea what you are talking about, but yeah, I will change it

I downloaded the decoder, but I get this:

Bass-Mac-Pro:ati-personality.pl.0.10 basbuur$ perl ati-personality.pl
Kext /System/Library/Extensions/ATI1300Controller.kext/Contents/MacOS/ATI1300Controller
Cannot open otool -arch x86_64 -l /System/Library/Extensions/ATI1300Controller.kext/Contents/MacOS/ATI1300Controller for input

EDIT: Ah, need Xcode, installing

Ok, got the offset. 182640.

So, now I should open the kext file with a hex editor? Or 1of the files inside it?

And then replace it with what you posted 2 posts back? Like, just paste those rows together, and start replacing?

[Basaa]

I replaced the framebuffer, and now it works.

Again, thank you so, so much for all your work and help.

Post the output from ati-personality.pl here.
Yes, the file  you need to edit is inside the kext, It's ATI60000Controller (without extension).
Open it with hex editor, than search for Find and Replace option. In the "FIND" field, paste the first line from  the original ipomoea personality ( you got this with ati-personality.pl) and click "Find Next". You should now have those values highlighted in the hex editor. In the "REPLACE" field, paste the first line of values from the post above than click "Replace". Do the same for all 3 lines. At the end don't forget to save the file.
Edit. Great, I replyed to late, driving and typing takes long time.

Edit 2. You can read on the first post what's working, extended desktop, booting with HDMI/VGA connected etc. If you have the time you can play around with the HotplugIDs (the second two numbers from right to left in each line) . I was planning to fine tune these, but I bricked my laptop and never finished that. Post the results here if you find something new.

[Basaa]

Ah ok, indeed everything works fine for me so far. No fuzzyness or whatsoever.

Great tip, thanks! Will let you know if I find something

Do you also have a working USB 3.0 kext? For me the entire OS freezes upon inserting a device into the slot.

How's your laptop now? It's working again?

[Trucker MK]

Today I've sent it for repair. nai22 will try to fix it.

[Basaa]

Ah awesome. Well, good luck with it!
Thanks again, I'm very happy with my hackbook pro

[Trucker MK]

Thanks. Yes, me to,  it's a good hackbook.

Oh, one more thing. Please share your kext here if you want to. Someone else might need it.

[Basaa]

Yes indeed!

And I would love to, but with the standard uploader I getan IO error, and with the basic uploader I can't select hidden files... Any ideas?

Also, I noticed that a gradient has like little bars, instead of a smooth transition. Any ideas / fixes for that?

[Trucker MK]

Try few times for the upload, eventually it will work.

There is no fix for that at the moment.

[Basaa]

Ok, well it's very acceptable, so no worries. Will try to upload the kext.

What about my question in #170? You got a working USB 3.0 driver? And maybe even sleep mode?

[Trucker MK]

No for the USB 3.0
For sleep, you need to patch AppleIntelCPUPowerManagment.kext There's a script for this, search this forum for  patching AICPUPM

You can start by testing all personalities and if none of them works for LVDS you need to choose one and edit the connector info ( SenseID, Transmitter, Encoder etc)

ok

Patched the values of LVDS for pitchecia and ipomoea, tried them both with editing the chameleon conf. The LVDS is still black with no backlight.
This is what i used for lvds:

02 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 09 01 00 00 10 01 00 07

I have never achieved getting backlight working on the LVDS. It detects my GPU as 6400 series with 1024mb which is right. VGA screen working with 1440x900@75hz with customized edid file. When booting without VGA connected i get a kernel panic.
What am I missing?

Try different value for the transmitter.
