hi madlock

 

 

what kind boot flag are you using?

 

 

No special boot flags required, by me.....

 

This is my chameleon boot.plist for 10.7.5 with GMA 950 (Optiplex GX620)

ML has no Screen-Out, not yet ;-)

The problem witch Ati 6000 is OpenGL. If you ati6000controller.kext used with AMDRadeonAccelerator.kext, AMDRadeonVADriver.bundle and AMDRadeonX3000GLDriver.bundle the graphics are bad but fast. If you ati6000controller.kext used without AMDRadeonAccelerator.kext, AMDRadeonVADriver.bundle and AMDRadeonX3000GLDriver.bundle the graphics are good but slow. The cause is AMDRadeonX3000GLDriver.bundle

 

Sorry for my bad english it is translated

Will this work with a 5770 GPU? I can see that it works with the 965BE.

5770 works OOB ;)

 

I'm having a GPU problem. I flashed my hd6770 to hd5770 and it worked fine for a while.

But after a while my GPU had booting problems, sometimes it would boot after switching my pc on/off for 20 times.

However it doesn't boot anymore.

I really want to flash it back to a hd6770, but RBE can't do this! No device id for HD6770 :(

A Virtual Machine Image is out allowing you to use VMWare workstation with Mountain Lion 10.8.2.

I found a blog from the developer who made it happen:http://www.souldevteam.net/blog/2013/02/06/os-x-mountain-lion-vmware-image-amd/ .I am using AMD Athlon ii x3 450,2gb of RAM and works fine!

Working AMD CPUs:

(Can't get rid of the lines!)

- A4-5300

- A6-3400M

- A8-3500M

- A10-4600M

- Athlon 64 X2 QL-65

- Athlon II X3

- Athlon II X3 450

- E-350

- FX6100 (run with Intel VT-X and AMD-V set)

- FX8120 (run with AMD-V/RVI set)

- FX8150

- FX8350

- K325

- Phenom II X2 550 (still slightly buggy, but runs)

- Phenom II X2 555

- Phenom II X2 950 (still slightly buggy, but runs)

- Phenom II X4 955

- Phenom II X4 965

- Phenom II X4 970

- Phenom II x4 975

- Phenom II X6 1055T

- Phenom II X6 1100T

- Phenom II X6 T1090 (slightly unstable)

- Turion II M500

 

Sorry for beibg a NOOB but how can i use the kernel?

No Combo Update yet. Apple, Really?

 

I have 12D74 from the bay of pirates.. I can't test it on AMD but it's stable on intel though I haven't tested 7xxx

If there are glitches, you'll have to either deal with them or boot in safe mode for now. Some AMD cards (ie the 6570) just work, others will present graphics corruption. With nVidia, it's even worse. The reason is some bug related to the kernel running in 64-bit mode which we haven't been able to isolate yet.

 

Best regards!

I've read quite a few pages, but didn't get a definitive answer...is there a fix for the 6xxx series AMD cards? I'm all set up except for the really bad graphics glitches. Thanks so much to everyone for making this happen!!!!!

Anyone know yet how to fix the graphics with ATI? Or should I just swap my GPU to older one which could work?

This might be a stupid suggestion, maybe with nvidia. There is a way to update it to OpenCL by modding the kext. What if we mod the kext to use the older fallback OpenCL? Does the glitches come from software acceleration or hardware acceleration? Also DP1 had i386, I remember back in the days we couldn't make a kernel because of SSSE3 emulation, they used dp1 kernel on the unsupported macs that only had 32bit efi, it is possible to maybe recreate this or am I just completely off page.

we'd need /System/Library/Extensions from DP1. If we're lucky the release version kernel will boot with the 32-bit kexts if compiled for i386, if not, we'll need to apply the patches in binary to the DP1 kernel (since sources are not available for it).

@SS01

 

Yeah we will need the Extensions from DP1

Two Guides are found at Mac Rumours - Don't know if i'm allow to link to them.

 

Things that will be implemented in the upcoming guide.
* Fix for X3100, GMA 950 and X1600 graphics card!
* Sleep and power management fix
* Support for 10.8.2
* Enable older version of OpenGL. (Glitchy, but works!)
* No more OpenCL issues!
* Video Tutorial!

 

The patch do :
- replacing Extensions folder with the dp1 Extensions folder
- replacing mach_kernel with the dp1 mach_kernel
- replacing OpenGL.framework with my modified OpenGL.framework
- adding GMA 950, ATI Radeon X1600 kexts on ML.
