darkip Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Exmoor framebuffer is used for laptops not desktops, should be using Baladi framebuffer Good point. Works fine with Baladi too. Worth noting is that when you copy the Frameworks across, you need to preserve the symbolic links inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awesome Donkey Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 That would work for 390X cards too, right? What's the framebuffer patch (for Baladi) for 10.11 you're using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonissue Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Darkip, any way you could post a zip with the kexts from 10.11? I'm on 10.10.4 with my r290x and display port 1.2 refuses to work. I have a computer on 10.11 but it's on preview 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picasso Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Hi, Can someone tell me if Sapphire 290X Reference Card works on Yosemite? Thanks. UPDATE: Yes, Sapphire 290X works perfect with 3 monitors. No patches, no injection. I don´t have DPort. I thinks a fresh install, clean from Clover could help. That´s work for me.

BBond007 Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 So I've upgraded to 10.11 (El Capitan) on both of my machines. I've also renamed this topic... I can only get one monitor working on my primary card, however, on the 2nd card I can run 3 monitors from boot. I'm not injecting ATI and it looks like I'm running RadeonFramebuffer. I'm actually pretty happy with that as I can run all of my 4 monitors. I've not had a spinning deadlock on desktop yet which happened occasionally on the multi-gpu machine with 10.10 (Yosemite) . On the other machine I'm only running one GPU at the moment (the MSI Lightning) with a 1440P Dual-link x-star monitor. I'm also trying (unsuccessfully) to run a ancient Sony Grand Wega 720p TV on the HDMI. I put the other r9 290x in a 8320 FX for W10 so I don't want to put it back in the xeon computer. Has anyone gotten multiple monitors working on a r9 290x using any of the other framebufferes? So far if try anything the dual-link DVI 1440p monitor goes black. The other thing I found is not to swap the SSDs and boot. Managed to break my apple logins and had to reinstall! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolletta Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 my 290x works fine both monitors Hello everybody, got my MP mid 2010 with 290x with the screen flickering randomly at any resolution. Tried fresh install of 10.11 but didn't solve. I work with only one monitor (PA301W). Tried another 290x from my colleague and... same problem. I don't understand if your 290x did work OOTB or you managed to use Clover to change parameters. Thanks, G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBond007 Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 my 290x works fine both monitors I'm only able to get one working. I've tried HDMI and DisplayPort. The only thing I've not tried is the other DVD with HDMI converter.... I'm considering going back two using two 290x in that machine.... Thanks EDIT: I tried the 2nd DVI port with HDMI adapter and still did not get a desktop. I decided to add another R9 290x to this machine as well. A Gigabyte Windforce 3X. I ended up putting two GTX 760s in the machine that came from. The to make room for the 2nd GPU i had to remove my Asus PCE-AC68 wifi board. Finally, to get around not having that, I'm using a ethernet media bridge. Anyway, it seems like a lot of work to get a 2nd monitor going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randallphoto Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 So I got everything up and running in 10.11.2, but I have 1 issue. If I do a fresh boot, my video works perfectly. Full QE/CI everything works perfectly. If I turn the monitor off or let the monitor go to sleep, when it comes on again I will have horizontal waves of sync loss that will continue until I reboot. QE/CI and hardware acceleration still work ok. I can play 4k videos smoothly and run 3D programs, there's just glitchy-ness. If I reboot it will work rock solid for hours and hours, until I let it sleep or turn off the monitor again. Also, it works perfectly fine in Windows. 4930k 32Gb Ram Sapphire Radeon 290x Gigabyte X79-UP4 Dell 2715Q 4k monitor with latest A03 firmware revision.

Running at native 4k @ 60hz resolution on Displayport I have one output that goes to a splitter and i send the signal to both a 1080p LG monitor and 1080p samsung TV. If i turn the TV on after the monitor is on, I get those same tearing glitches. Anyway, for me, the fix is to go into displays properties, set the monitor to scaled, switch to 1080i or 720p and then back to 1080p and the glitches disappear.

destrekor Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Has anyone noticed that the Baladi framebuffer personality is no longer in AMD8000Controller.kext? I've been banging my head against El Capitan trying to get my MSI 290x Lightning up and running again with three monitors after I upgraded to El Capitan from Yosemite. Things were working perfectly in Yosemite, but all of a sudden I only get a black screen in El Capitan. I had used a framebuffer patch that I think I found in this thread. But now, I've tried numerous patches, and have been attempting to create my own, but nothing is working. I've tried shuffling around the data a bit and even changed the the ATY,ControlFlags based on the other options though it seems everyone has always used the defaults suggested in all the various guides. After copying the Info.plist from AMD8000Controller.kext to another drive which I mounted while in single user mode, I pulled that up in Windows and notice that Exmoor is the only personality! Has anyone else taken a look? I would have figured this would be known by now, so I'm wondering if something happened to my copy of the controller kext and it actually should still have the Baladi personality in it? I'm going to give Exmoor a shot I guess, see if patching that might make a difference without introducing a load of bugs or otherwise taking me one step forward and two steps back (i.e. displays functioning but loss of performance or downclocking or anything that was previously working) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quattro74 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 That would work for 390X cards too, right? What's the framebuffer patch (for Baladi) for 10.11 you're using? Just did the backport for my powercolor devil 390x works great, used terminal from within the installer. cp -R will preserve the symbilic links, I rm -R'd everything that I replaced after backing them up then did the copy. No patched framebuffer. Using exmoor as that is the only personality I saw in the .plist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
