your pic there shows MacPro Early 2008, thats not the new Late 2013 MP6,1 :P

 

Hey, you said you have R9 270 Sapphire? I have it too. I can't get more than two ports working at the same time, any combination. I'm currently using 2x DVI. No issues whatsoever.

Thanks for creating these patches!

 

I've got an Radeon R9 270 (without X) as well. I get it to run using your installer in 10.9.5 without any problem at all, but 10.10 is a different story sadly. If I try to apply your patch there I only get an AmiOptioFixDrv error and it doesn't even boot. I've tried to boot without AmiOptioCrap but no luck.

 

Any idea how to fix this?

 

@ham4ever

apparently we have the same motherboard. Does the AppleHDA.kext in Yosemite work for you or are you using the good ol' voodoohda.kext?

"For the Record" I have the same problem on a Sapphire 270 and I reported it and asked if anyone else had similar problems when I first got this card :P And for the record I have heard from 3 other people not using Sapphire cards that also have the same problem using 2 or 3 monitors. The issue is windowserver crashing, the problem is a little less persistent when using dual dvi outs and seems to be more pronounced when using hdmi. I don't have a DP monitor to test but I assume that dp out would not be a problem because its the main connection on MP6,1.

 

Unfortunately I still haven't figured out what exactly is causing the problem and have since given up on looking into it further and just went to using RadeonFramebuffer as a solution because I have only found one ill effect when using Radeonframebuffer which is 24Hz not working properly and I also reported that above.

:angel: Joe only curiosity ...Mag use only dual monitor (DVI)  and not HDMI , so the problem about crash is only with DVI ...please can u study about this?

What u need ?

PS: Joe only curiosity , i have try in config.plist 

<key>ATI</key>
            <false/>

and work ...why?

that much is working with RadeonFramebuffer, who cares :) :)

Ati has worked since 10.7 with no injection. We need to use injection to be able to specify the specific frame buffer we want to use. If no injection is used the default RadeonFramebuffer will be used automatically.

Made some progress with Ozmosis. In 10.9 I deleted the ATYinjector.kext and changed some things in the Defaults.plist.
 

 

        <key>DisableAtiInjection</key>
        <false/>
        <key>AtiFramebuffer</key>
        <string>Futomaki</string>

 

 

 

Aaand ioreg | grep ATY shows that I'm using the Futomaki framebuffer. Very nice!

 

 

y$ ioreg | grep ATY
    | |   |   | +-o ATY,Futomaki@0  <class AtiFbStub, id 0x10000032b, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (152 ms), retain 8>
    | |   |   | +-o ATY,Futomaki@1  <class AtiFbStub, id 0x10000032c, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (0 ms), retain 8>
    | |   |   | +-o ATY,Futomaki@2  <class AtiFbStub, id 0x10000032d, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (0 ms), retain 8>
    | |   |   | +-o ATY,Futomaki@3  <class AtiFbStub, id 0x10000032e, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (0 ms), retain 8>

 

 

The only thing that isn't working is Displayport but I guess that's fixable too. Haven't had a chance to try this in Yosemite yet.

so if I leave it on false nothing happens ...that is a correct ?

A couple pages before I had posted that I got 270x working and all that.. but really I didn't.

 

My experience has been very obnoxious. I set something in clover bootloader and all, it SOMETIMES works but most of time it doesn't even boot into the desktop (wrong FB issue here). So I change FBname to another. Won't work. I get tired and all that so leave the computer off for a day. Turn it on. Boom! it works! ... and so on.

 

I don't know what's causing the inconsistency nor I understand how this can even be possible considering FB patch is a simple (or rather so it seems) binary patch on the fly. Unless it permanently changes something in the kext. I don't know.

 

I am about to pull the trigger and swear a bit, then make a move to a well working cards like 280x or gtx760.

Before you pull the trigger, try using RadeonFrambuffer in place of whatever FB you have listed in clover now. Remove the connector patch from your config and leave AtiInjection true. Clovers patch for connector is set in memory so its not permanent. If you ran a perl patch it is permanent until the binary is replaced again. Either way of patching is for a specific FB so if you try to use a different FB you would want to also change the patch to the controller kext. With RadeonFramebuffer you don't need to patch the controller and it will work with one that is already patched.

Vlada's perl patch for 10.10 still works but it is buggy when I use the Futomaki framebuffer. Safari crashes constantly, games won't start, etc. 

 

 

All applications work with the generic Radeon framebuffer BUT then there is significant mouse lag.

 

Here is a current dump of the Futomaki personality of Yosemite final.

Personality: Futomaki
ConnectorInfo count in decimal: 4
Disk offset in decimal 1690320
0000000    00  04  00  00  04  03  00  00  00  01  01  01  12  04  04  01

And here's a fresh dump of 10.9.5's AMD7000Controller.kext

Personality: Futomaki
ConnectorInfo count in decimal: 4
Disk offset in decimal 1490208
0000000    00  04  00  00  04  03  00  00  00  01  01  01  12  04  04  01
0000010    00  04  00  00  04  03  00  00  00  01  02  01  22  05  05  02
0000020    04  00  00  00  14  02  00  00  00  01  03  00  00  00  06  06

The only thing that is different is the disk offset but that shouldn't affect the patch?

Before you pull the trigger, try using RadeonFrambuffer in place of whatever FB you have listed in clover now. Remove the connector patch from your config and leave AtiInjection true. Clovers patch for connector is set in memory so its not permanent. If you ran a perl patch it is permanent until the binary is replaced again. Either way of patching is for a specific FB so if you try to use a different FB you would want to also change the patch to the controller kext. With RadeonFramebuffer you don't need to patch the controller and it will work with one that is already patched. 

 

But isn't this the same as NOT setting anything, including ATIinject?

 

Btw I tried using RadeonFramebuffer as FBname and it looked like the name is too long to fit in the form or something? Anyway it didn't work, after a long wait of verbose messages the screen flashes a little, but never gets to the desktop. I don't know anymore... :P

 

EDIT:

 

I found that in no-theme mode (just plain black text version) I get this error:

 

==> KPATIConnector found 3 times in com.apple.kext.AMD7000Controller - skipping patching!

 

I guess this explains what causes the inconsistency since it is not patching something... but I don't quite understand the message. What to do?
