Is it normal to get graphics tearing with the anv kernel? I'd been having some issues with graphics working at all, but even after I've gotten it up and running (apparently with QE/CI), there are constant graphics tearing and artifacts, especially with icons and when resizing and opening windows and the dock. It's especially bad with Safari, which straight up goes dyslexic. A few screenshots are attached.

If it helps, my system specs are:
AMD Phenom II x4 965
ASUS M4A79T Deluxe
ATI Radeon HD 5770
6GB RAM

Yes, this is normal look at this thread: http://www.insanelym...intosh-systems/

AMD Athlon II x4 640:
32 and 64-bit apps working!
Stock corecrypto working!
It even wash--oh, I guess it didn't wash the dishes after all. Must've been the cat. :D
No more QuickTime panics.

Intel Pentium D 3.4 GHz:
64-bit apps working!
32-bit apps, well, uTorrent launches but TextWrangler doesn't. I don't think I have any more 32-bit only apps on my system to test, but if anyone wants to point out a few, I'll test them.
Stock corecrypto working!
No more QuickTime panics.

I haven't any 64-bit non-SSE3 CPUs.

Just curious, with all this emulation going on, will there be any significant performance impacts?

10.8.2 with AnV's kernel is working nicely on my Pentium 4 531 3Ghz. Thanks Andy!

Hi Overclocked Tardis! I'm curious what GPU you have and if it's working or not since there are so many issues with GPUs...

Hello! I Have a 9400GT. Full QE/CI from the look of things.

I do have a question. With my setup - under ArchLinux and Windows 7 - 1080p video plays back beautifully, with very little cpu usage. This really isn't the case currently. Is this because of the overhead - if any exists - of the opemu? I was hoping to utilize my GPU to accelerate video playback much in the same way that I have on Windows and Linux. I'm using MPlayer2 and VLC.

But I must say, I never expected to get ML running on this rig. Very awesome stuff indeed. Apart from the HD video playback issues I'm having, everything else is smooth and responsive. I've been running for about 6 hours now with no noticeable problems. Well, read and write speeds seem to degrade over time while using my external powered USB Harddisk, but I have no clue what that's about and couldn't care less lol.

Hi guys, I have a few problems, so far so good I got my video card to run. However, once I open any program as the text editor I get a kernel panic.
As soon as I open the terminal to patch the binaries or clean up the permissions with Disk Utility, the same problem. Now I have very big doubts whether this is just the drivers alone. The modified kernel and the primary SSSE3emu should be investigated again. I have tried everything to fix the problem, I am stuck. If someone has to fix a feasible idea to the problem, please report.
thanks

I have sent a message to sinetek but unfortunately I have not received any response. We suspect that the primary problems with the kernel through the SSSE3emu caused.

So, that means the graphics issues perhaps aren't as big on Intel. Interesting... As for the HD playback issues, I really have no idea.

Oh yeah, I use Arch too!

I'm testing now after I've adapted my system. (graphics driver) again with the various kernel currently test2 kernel of Sinetek runs constantly better as amd_kernel by Andy.

Hi there,

Does anybody know why only sinetek AMD test 1 works on fx?
I'm able to boot with it but it is really unstable, and i was wondering if we could make the latest ANV kernel work with fx.
It should boot faster, runs at better peformance , and be more stable.

EDIT: or a newer sinetek kernel ;)

EDIT 2: got Andy's kernel working on fx

Heya, my bad, I got busy. I'm still looking for a job in Germany for this summer. Well, this indicates the opemu is doing something wrong.
When does the KP occur?

Please let us know how, Don't leave us FX users hanging.

Hi,
As i know how it is to be a FX user, having problems with like every kernel i'll always help you guys.
So the trick is: set your bios right! you'll need a few things to be changed which you don't need for other processors.
Right now, i'm not sure which ones, when i'm back home i'll check my bios and tell you guys.
second, you'll need to use this flags : busratio=15 fsb=200 -force64 -v (where you have to set the busratio and fsb to yours)
Wrong busratio causes bad performance, and -force64 is needed because i'm getting the "loading kexts and then reboot" problem without it.

Bitcore,do you know why I got instant reboots when loaded kexts,my CPU is AMD A8-4500M(APU),whatever sinetek's kernel or AnV's kernel,I used all boot flags -v -force64(-arch=x64_86) busratio= fsb= Is these kernels not supported for APU?
I can install and use SL&Lion on my processor,but never ML

True Thing got carried away with telling the same over and over again !!!!

There was never a Kernel for a Hyprid Processor  like these are  and even if u get to install it with one of the kernel u will never have any graphic acceleration wich makes it pretty useless

Answer STAYs the same a clear NO

Sorry

Why are you so sure? It is just a K10 cpu with an Radeon graphics core. For example, the a8-3850 GPU is based on a normal HD5570. I don't think there is a difference between an APU and seperate GPU & CPU for the OS. I will try and see if I can get it to work when I have time.

Yes ! I fix errors opemu for 32 bit and write xnu_src for i386 for lion 10.7.4 , it work with flag arch=i386 , but i get same panic_trap and etc ...
maybe it is problem another ))))

May I correct you...

APU = AMD's CPU + GPU combination, just like Intel's i5 and i7.
I think APUs are meant for laptops and cheap desktops, not for power-users.

Ah yeah good point there Bronya, you remind me of something that could be tried.. You know, maybe the nVidia drivers (and ATI too..) work a bit better under x86_32 mode.
Let's dig up the ML DP1 again, see where that goes.

Sinetek , could you please tell me why your " AMD test 1" kernel works so good on fx?
