Because I have some problem with my screen .. I'm re-doing the kext for Mavericks

 

Need GraphicEnabler=yes and AtiConfig=Hoolock

 

Because I have re-mapped the Hoolock only..

 

Need to sleep :) Have fun

 

PS : this is for people want two screens with a good resolution.

the problem at the start is I have just one monitor detected ..

Now I have my two screens detected with the good resolution 1920*1080.

Connected to HDMI and the first DVI on top..

No luck on fresh install..this card is driving me crazy

In my opinion, it's not the best way to take stranger solution even if the model coincides, it can have different personalities for each laptop or desktop.

Gain you Vbios by AIda, at first, and show what you have.

I was comparing this kext file to the original and saw no changes..upload wrong one by chance? I was going to try and go the clover method but i'm not too impressed with the bootloader and the instructions to install it...it doesn't even create a bootable partition

Ok, first of all my card is an XFX 5870.

I have modified and replaced these lines for Hoolock :

00  04  00  00  04  06  00  00  00  01  00  00  21  03  05  01
00  04  00  00  04  06  00  00  00  01  00  00  11  02  04  02
04  00  00  00  14  02  00  00  00  01  00  00  02  04  01  03

by that :

00  02  00  00  14  00  00  00  00  71  00  00  00  00  06  05
00  04  00  00  00  04  00  00  00  71  00  00  12  04  04  01
00  08  00  00  00  02  00  00  00  71  00  00  22  05  05  04

with an hexadecimal editor ...

what is these lines ? it's the value extracted from the rom of this card.

 

I re put the kext and the rom if anyone want to try ....

 

Here is my org.chameleon.Boot.plist :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">

	<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>

	<key>AtiConfig</key>
	<string>Hoolock</string>
	<key>EnableC3State</key>
	<string>Yes</string>
	<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
	<string>Yes</string>

	<key>Timeout</key>
	<string>5</string>
	<key>UseKernelCache</key>
	<string>Yes</string>
</dict>
</plist>

My two screen works by this modification on the first DVI port (on top) and the HDMI port.

If you have the XFX 5870 I think your card can work ..

So does your Graphics work now?

Yes and no..still having a hard time trying to figure out why this card being natively supported by the OS doesn't want to cooperate. I'm considering going back nvidia and generating my own efi strings.

Hey,

 

May be you can check with this kext with AtiConfig=Zonalis

I have remake that and I have small better performance ..

:)

Exciting!  How large are your performance gains?  Did this solve the stuttering in 3D accelerated applications?  What exactly have you gained by entering in your ROM information?  

 

I have an ASUS HD5870 :::: Vendor ATI 0x1002 Device 0x6898 Revision 0x0000.  Do you think that it would it be worth my while to input my own ROM information into a kext?

IntelCore i7 950

Asus P6T Deluxe_v2

3x2GB Corsair DDR3 1066

Hey,

Test it :) it take just 5 minutes to backup original kext, put mine, and reboot.

Here is my last kext.

May be so late I need to do modifications on hot plug id because is the same for dvi and display port.

I use two screens, DVI + HDMI or HDMI + DP. Cannot test DVI + DP for now.

Regards.

Hello,

 

I have run trials with your new AMD5000Controller.kext.

There are some modest FPS gains using your AMD5000Controller.kext.  Do I need to change anything in my Boot.plist to take full advantage of your AMD5000Controller.kext?
 
How did you get your system to assign the ATI Radeon HD 5870 Series (1024MB) x1 ID to your GPU instead of the generic ATI Radeon HD 5000 (1024MB) x1?
 
Thank you for everything you have done!

Thank you for the link.  Here is my work so far.

 

I had to use the radeon_bios_decode by bcc9 to get the sense IDs. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/249642-editing-custom-personalities-for-ati-radeon-hd45xxx/?pid=1649902&mode=threaded

Yes great !

you need to try different control flags.

And you need to try different Hotplug ID ...

 

For me the Hotplug ID by order is not working.

 

Here is my bios decodes in order to look what is the difference between your card and my card :

The difference between DP and HDMI is : inverted values ...

 

It's maybe the reason why it's not working.

 

PS : for my HDMI control flag I have "04 02 00 00" because "00 02 00 00" not working for me. For DP Control flag I have : "00 04 00 00"

 

Continue on this way, good work :)

Redsock's bios decoder provides some good information.

 

http://nologic.com/redsock_bios_decoder.zip

 

Your card has way more outputs than mine does.... I have a working driver now but my displays tab now shows two copies of the monitor connected to my DVI-I port. Both of the Control Flag Choices 14 00 00 00 14 02 00 00 seem to work for the DVI-I port but both of these are causing a monitor duplication problem. Have you run into this problem before?

yes you maybe can post what is the result of your work ? what framebuffer is used ?

 

here is mine :

Personality: Zonalis
ConnectorInfo count in decimal: 6
Disk offset in decimal 591296
0000000 00 04 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 01 00 00 12 04 04 01
0000010 00 08 00 00 04 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 22 05 02 04

0000060

But when I can test DVI + DP, I can have problems because I have the same hotplugID.

 

You can try like this ? (play with hotplugID and Control flag for HDMI port). (for me "00 02 00 00" not working for HDMI).

0000000 00 04 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 01 00 00 22 05 04 03

0000020 00 02 00 00 04 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 10 00 05 05
0000030 00 02 00 00 04 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 10 06 05

It lists the monitor twice though and it will crash the OpenGL engine after it runs once. I do not have a display port adapter to test the display port. My hotplug ID increment up from 01 to 04. I am guessing this is wrong.

This driver using control flag 04 02 00 00 for the DVII port causes a black screen at boot.

This personality seems to work for the most part. The only issue it has is that ti oversamples screens connected via HDMI causing them to not fit properly and the audio does not work via HDMI. Should I try changing the encoder from 05 to 04 to get the HDMI working properly?
