woot nice joblo!! hope support for notebook lcds will be available soon- cant wait to test this on my 9700 lappy.. hope you can get osx to support 1400x1050 coz previously on callisto with qe ci enabled i got severe window tearing..

[Zealot]

a question?
this mean atacking the problem from a whole new way .
is this some kind of replace of what callisto did or is it a complement to
the other efforts of people like omni and your self.
sorry if i am a litle offopic but its just to get the big picture of this

Anybody tried this one?
I didn't try because I dont have much experience about it!
I hope this one work better than Callisto's one!
So If someone tried already, please post the result!

Thank you...

[greenman100]

I take it this work work for an ATI RAGE XL?

[joe75]

I'm stuck with only half screen. The top half is my desktop x5 and the bottom is the end of the startup log that hasn't gone away

[graphic Design]

So, it works good? QE&CI supported?
Joe75, how U feel? This one better than Callisto's one? Should We replace Callisto with this XRadeonFB?
Thanks

[joe75]

No replaceing yet Installation is a success but I cant test or see anything because "I only have half screen" and have explained that four times. The build is still early and should be tested be someone with a real monitor joblo10 still has work to do on this and testing and feedback will only help to speed things up

I'm not sure if its something I did, but I removed Callisto, changed the FrameBuffer entry in ATIRadeon9700GA.plugin/Contents/Info.plist to 'XRadeonFB' and after reboot, my display showed the grey Apple screen then after that went to a black screen?

[Koffein]

Tried to install it screen went black.. had to remove the file..
do i have to edit something in the file to get it to work ???

Intel 845G Chipset
Intel P4 2,53Ghz SSE2

This is not Callisto and there is no need to edit in framebuffer in 9700GA

joblo said you need to remove Callisto to keep it from loading before XRadeonFB and that would mean to put 9700GA back to original too;)

[StarForge]

Ahh thanks joe75, I'll try again

[tyre777]

dont forget to repair permission too..

[StarForge]

• I removed Callisto
• Reverted ATIRadeon9700GA.plugin/Contents/Info.plist (removed the FB entry)
• Repaired permissions
• Rebooted

... and my monitor went immediately into powersave mode after the grey apple screen.

I've a Radeon 9800 AH

[tyre777]

what does it say when you enter -v on bootup?
