Hi, Alex. I've got some questions for you if you don't mind :D

First of all, is your hack laptop or desktop? Mine is laptop and I've found that the 10.8.3 and 10.8.4 update caused my hack to the black screen. Even though I've made it work just as it supposed to be. But it's really a surprise after so many no-brainer updates.

Second, you've mentioned AGPM. As far as I know, there is not a detailed tutorial about AGPM for ATI cards since there're many parameters in the AGPM setting unknown to us, unlike the Nvidia's. :( Hope you would share your experience :D

Last, why do you have to correct AppleSmartBatteryManager? You've manually modified them before?

Yes I can.

1) My acer is laptop.

2) Against black screen you can use this

<key>KernelAndKextPatches</key>
<dict>
<key>ATIConnectorsController</key>
<string>5000</string>
<key>ATIConnectorsData</key>
<string>02000000000100000901000012040303000400000406000000710000110201010004000004060000007100002103020200040000040600000071000022050404</string>
<key>ATIConnectorsPatch</key>
<string>02000000400000000900000010000004000400000407000000000000120401020008000004020000000000001102020110000000100000000000000000100303</string>
</dict>

But it's only kernel-log patch, use hex-edid to amend ATI5000Controller after.

Or during updating use Frambuffer which your card support more or less by default.

My card is injected totally by DSDT

3) I use

<key>MacBookPro6,1</key>
<dict>
 <key>LogControl</key>
 <integer>0</integer>
 <key>Vendor1002Device68a1</key>
 <dict>

to get

6/6/13 10:52:47.000 PM kernel[0]: [AGPM Controller] build GPUDict by Vendor1002Device68a1

Actually frequency of ATIcards is constant and voltage as well(for my model at least). For me it is 0.90V

4) I use modified driver by RehabMan

Its always something simple you over look.

 

I mean I know about Clover, it could have fixed the problem instantly but the issue I have with it is that it scrambles the display when QE/CI is enabled for Intel HD Graphics. It's an odd bug. I'll test Clover again later on.

I decided to do a clean install of Mountain Lion again and updating it to 10.8.4. iMessages and FaceTime are now worked again. :) Not sure what happened.

Congrats then. :D

First of all, thanks for answering back.

I notice that for the Framebuffer patch, you replace 0901 with 0900 in the LVDS port. Why is that? I searched all the default framebuffer for LVDS is 0901. And I found that with the latest 10.8.4 my original patch would cause me the ghots VGA display while it just worked under Lion or whatever before 10.8.4. As long as I modify the framebuffer for VGA port, I would get the ghost diplay :( So up till now, I only modify the HDMI port.

As for the AGPM issue, do you mean that even you made the kext load but it's not functioning? (Since it's CLK and Volt is not changing)

Radeons have static frequencies and voltage. And at windows is the same situation.

PowerManagment is change of frequency and voltage. Hence we can make a conclusion that it has no powermanagement for ATIcards.(Maybe with modern ATIcards the situation is different)

But we can amend mistake with unknown device with AGPM by writing Device and Vendor ID to info.plist.

 

About framebuffer I tried many combinations and remained this one. "If it ain's broke, don't fix it' I don't have ghostly displays But I didn't checked VGA-port as I don't have equipment for it. I use only LDVS and HDMI.

But I have one problem nevertheless. And can not fix it.

http://www.insanelym...ps-of-ati-card/

And many people have it.

By the way, do you have this slovenly bug as well as I have?

Maybe together we will be able to have much more chances to solve this. :)

:D As for the none-working AGPM kext, I decide to delete it :)

Yep, I do rarely use HDMI and VGA ports as well. And I decide to leave the VGA part of the Framebuffer unchanged so that I won't have a ghost VGA display.

As for the issue you asked about, I have a file for you. You can download it and check it out whether the problem exists in the sky.

Here's the download link: http://d.pr/i/G5Xs

Fortunately, I don't see any problem in the sky. And you have some glimmer, right?

As far as I can tell, I don't find the glimmer. Can the glimmer get caught by screenshot? If so, I can upload my screenshot.

For my case the cause of glimmer is something horizontally narrowly stripy, website, Z-brush(program), screenshots and the other.

Can you name some websites which cause you the problem?

You mean those lines? The pic is zoomed by 200%. http://d.pr/i/284h

No, I see glimmer exactly like in venerable cathode ray tube(kinescope) or dying luminescent lamp.

I made a video, but camera made it very smoothly. But actually I see twice or threefold distinctly by eyes

https://www.dropbox....ctlet/00070.MTS

See at horizont between such lines as "Bundle 8" and "the epic naval and more to the right.

And it is in sight but a little.

See it edge of eye when glimmer is more intelligible on video.

But as I told above looking at that real eyes it is visible very clear.

Wrong, they have power management. Under Windows my HD6850M clocks down to 100MHz when there isn't much to do

Does aida64 show it?

Maybe for some models I don't argue. But I observed invariable frequency for my card.

And Russian developers of FakeSMC and sensors tell.

RadeonMonitor.kext - мониторит температуру Радеонов. Другие показания я пока не научился снимать. Вентиллятор там аналоговый, не промониторишь. Частоты статические, чего на них смотреть?

Yeap, it shows there. And according to the AMD website the cards have PowerPlay power management technology since HD3800 series

Interesting. Some people tell one thing, others tell opposite thing at that developers.

If my ATICard doesn't have power management than why it has normal temperature?. In average 50 degrees centigrade.

One extra questions for you.

Does voltage of your ATI change?

 

Or it is constant?
