Thank you for this! Is there a chance of solving the 290x multi-screeen issues by following this?

 

Yes. Per example I got a problem with second DVI connector on Radeon 6850 HD which I was been able to fix by using this method.

Well, I tried but unfortunately it seems this method is not enough for the 290x. I followed your tutorial and made a few patches for the Baladi personality (the only one in AMD8000Controller) but none of them seem to make any difference - boots fine with one screen, as soon as you plug another one in -> black screen.

 

It was worth a shot I guess :) Thanks for the effort, hopefully someone will figure this out one day.

 

I'm attaching my "notepad" from this, maybe it will be of use to someone: http://pastebin.com/zMJbg8xP

There are several guides out there already for connector patching, but last time i had to patch a framebuffer I had to get the information from like 3 different places. Now it's all in one place. Thank you for such a comprehensive guide.

My 290X (ASUS 290X DirectCU II OC) results are the same as yours (came up with the exact same patch using this guide), however every time I try either DVI-D port it never works - just black screens on boot. DVI-D is the only output my monitor displays, so I'm stuck with it. What Clover settings do you use?

Just barebone defaults with imac14,2 preset and trimenabler patch, no graphic injections.

Thanks. Unfortunately, no matter what I do I can't get stable DVI-D output. Either the patch(es) cause black screens upon boot indicating the patch is a failure, or it boots normally with the glitchy DVI-D output causing me to put OS X to sleep then immediately wake it to workaround the DVI glitches.

i dont understan in step 3,, 
where you get this code ? --- = First I’ll put the list of all types of connectors:

 

Connector Type LVDS 0 × 00000002 = 02 00 00 00 Note: Laptop Monitor

Connector Type DVIDL 0 × 00000004 = 04 00 00 00 Note: Dual Link DVI

Connector Type VGA 0 × 00000010 = 10 00 00 00

Connector Type SV 0 × 00000080 = 08 00 00 00

Connector Type DP = 0 × 00000400 00 04 00 00

Connector Type HDMI 0 × 00000800 = 00 08 00 00

Connector Type DVISL 0 × 00000200 = 00 02 00 00 Note: Single Link DVI

Well, it seems like I am the first one to be successful and  praise your outstanding post:  (I did this for cosmetic fix in System Profiler )

 

I got an Asus R9 280x (R9280X-DC2T-3GD5), with vBIOS version: 6798HB.15.39.0.0.AS04 (113-AD47800-100) , I extracted the BIOS with GPU-Z v0.8.0. 

 

Like you calculated, i got similar results: 

Typ 1: DP:  	21 03 01 04
Typ 2: HDMI:	11 02 02 03
Typ 3: DVI-I:	12 04 03 02
Typ 4: DVI-I:	00 10 04 02
Typ 5: DVI-D:	10 00 05 06

My Graphics Card was using Futomaki before (atleast 1 Screen worked, i have a DSDT injection for the Framebuffer), so I decided to use it as well.  (But this shouldn't bother us in any way, since we are going to modify it completely anyways, right?).  Since i have two DVI- Dual-Link Screens connected, I wanted to have two DVI Lines, so my final Code was:

00040000  04030000  00010401  21030104  <- DP    (init. as last) 
04000000  14020000  00010101  12040302  <- DVI-I (init. as first)
04000000  14020000  00010200  10000506  <- DVI-D (init. as second)
00080000  04020000  00010300  11020203  <- HDMI  (init. as third) 

I used the Clover Method with Patch AMD7000Controller, and it is working like a charm.

Thanks for the great info..

My graphics card is Mobility Radeon 4870 on an Alienware m17xR2 .. i got it working with 10.10 Exotic pack QE/CI works .. my only issue that i can't get the HDMI connector to work thats the contents of the info.plisit file in the AMDFramebuffer.kext in S/L/E :

Thanks for the tutorial! I always wanted to know how you made your driver packs. I'm happy I can do it myself now if needed.

However, I have an Asus 270 (non-X) and have some questions about some things that were not entirely clear from your guide:

 

- I understand the device id for the 270X is already in AMD7000Controller but the one for the 270 is not. I guess I can add it manually, but I was wondering if there was an update-proof way? What if I use clover's fakeid feature to set it to the 270X id (the hardware is very similar, no?). Will this work or will things go wrong.

 

- Do I still need to enable the "Inject ATI" feature in Clover? What does it do anyway... 

 

- Do I still need something like ATYinjector.kext from your original pack? What was its purpose, is it the same as the Clover Inject ATI? I always assumed if your id was in the kext the driver would be loaded and if the framebuffer is correct it would work. But apparently you needed this for the 270X so I'm curious what it does.

 

I was hoping you could help me figure out these details so I can get my 270 working with your method.

Thanks again!

Those lines represents definitions of all connectors inside the code. This is just example or explanation so that you know what is what!

1. Clover should do the trick with fake serial number, but you'll need to patch kexts too (AMD7000Controller.kext and AMDRadeonX4000.kext). Check the Step - 4 in this tutorial.

 

2. Yes. This option injects proper FB + in your case fake serial number

 

3. No. You don't need ATYInjector.kext from the pack. Inject ATI option via Clover do the same thing, so you don't need it.

Thanks for this topic!

 

I have a XFX DD 270X on 10.9.5. I was using the default radeon FB, but was unable to get 2560x1440 DVI DL display+ 1920x1080 DVI/HDMI display working with it.

 

Loading FB via DSDT and can confirm it is loading.

 

Why can I not get my Dual-Link DVI working at full resolution? See below. Thanks!

Is it possible to get my mini-DPs working? Any ideas?

 

 

 

I have edited Futomaki to the following:

 

00 04 00 00 04 03 00 00 00 01 03 01 12 04 01 01 :: Not working mini-DP (tested with single-link active mini-DP to DVI cable)

00 08 00 00 04 02 00 00 00 01 02 00 11 02 03 03 :: Fully working HDMI

04 00 00 00 14 02 00 00 00 01 01 01 10 00 04 06 :: Dual Link DVI-I (only working as single-link; if I plug in my dual-link DVI then screen stays black, but IOreg shows attached display here)

00 02 00 00 14 00 00 00 00 01 05 00 21 03 06 05 :: Fully Working Single Link DVI-D

 

 

Not using:

00 04 00 00 04 03 00 00 00 01 04 01 22 05 02 02 :: Another DP (did not work when tried it earlier)

04 00 00 00 14 02 00 00 00 01 01 01 00 10 05 06 :: Dual Link DVI-I Internal KLDSCP_DAC1

 

 

EDIT:

Switched Futomaki to:

04 00 00 00 14 02 00 00 00 01 01 01 00 10 05 06 :: Dual Link DVI-I Internal KLDSCP_DAC1

00 08 00 00 04 02 00 00 00 01 02 00 11 02 03 03 :: HDMI no longer hotplugs, but will work as second monitor with the Dual-Link DVI plugged in!

04 00 00 00 14 02 00 00 00 01 01 01 10 00 04 06 :: Dual Link DVI-I (Now works as Dual-Link DVI-I if replugged after loading OS X) 

00 02 00 00 14 00 00 00 00 01 05 00 21 03 06 05 :: Single Link DVI-D no longer hotplugs, does not work at all with Dual-Link DVI plugged in and prevents Dual-Link DVI from showing anything.

Well, that was bittersweet.

 

I went back to a vanilla AMD7000Controller.kext out of curiosity and the DVI Dual Link + HDMI (or SL DVI) works OOB. Turns out my version of 223x chameleon was too old to make the default radeonFB work properly (I guess) =/

 

Installed 2510 and the defaultFB just works.

I can't get the Radeon_bios_decode or redsock_bios_decode to work in terminal. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. But, I did look at the info.plist in the AMD7000Controller.kext package. it shows the following frame buffers and what appears to be 4 ports.

 

Z77N-WIFI, Sapphire r9 270x Vapor-X, 10.10.1, latest Chameleon w/DSDT

 

Hamachi

Ikura

IkuraS

Kani

KaniS

Maguro

MaguroS

Namako

 

It shows the same thing on my real iMac 12.1 Radeon 5750,  Hackintosh 10.9.5 backup, Hackintosh 10.10.1 current installation, also iMac 12,1 definition. I'm trying to patch my DSDT to fix the speed.

With 10.9.5 I get 2850 FPS in NovaBench and 1590 Lux. With 10.10.1 I get 701 FPS in NovaBench.

I can't get the bios decoding files to work either, terminal gives me "Permission denied".

 

OSX will only boot if I have InjectATI enabled in Clover, and even then it finds the card properly, but reports it as 7MB in "About this Mac". If InjectATI is false, OSX starts the boot sequence, but then just reboots and repeats.

 

Any help for an XFX R9 270x Double D would be appreciated. System details in signature

Vlada- Thank you for the post.

 

But Im a little slow on this stuff. If you have a bit of time and feel like checking my calculation I thank you more. Or anyone else that knows and is quicker.

Well almost correct, but the order is wrong. You mast have 1,2,3,4 or you can switch all to zero. So change these parameters by picking one of two solutions...
