Can you upload those two files somewhere so i can give them a try?

Thanks.

the NATIT AUTO ATI kext
both output are working
i cant upload them download 10.4.5 Combo or Neo 3.6

[BladeRunner]

First - let me say I think this is a great piece of work.

That said, let me ask for what I hope is a *small* feature. I have downloaded all three of the Natit*.kext packages. I unpacked them in different locations and scanned the Contents -> Info.plist using finder and the Plist Editor from Xcode.

My concern is that I can't tell the difference between the various Natit.kext packages. I assume the code is different. However, when I try to experiment with different versions it is somewhat problematic trying to be sure which one is in use.

Would it be possible to place a short comment in the Info.plist file that identifies which version it is. i.e., Standard - Edited - Auto detect ...

I have the PCIe version of this card (1 DVI port and 1 VGA port) and can't get pure DVI out of the card. I can only get VGA output from the DVI > VGA adapter.

Do you get pure DVI from your card?

I'm going to add version numbers for all future releases. The newest available right now is the auto version.

I get the vga output like you by default. Even if playing with the ATIinject.kext and EDID values i was able to make dvi port work, but vga port doesn't work anymore. It's a bit confused, but look here

Work for me but no dual display

I get the vga output like you by default. Even if playing with the ATIinject.kext and EDID values i was able to make dvi port work, but vga port doesn't work anymore. It's a bit confused, but look here

I would take the DVI port only as I have no need for doing dual monitor and have no need for the VGA port to work. I need to hook up my card via DVI > HDMI cable to my brand new 46" Samsung 1080P LCD (native 1920x1080)...well, about 6 weeks old, now.

Looking at your threads, it appears that in order for me to do as you did I would need to know the Sammy's EDID. Is this correct? If I had this info, and followed what you did, do you think I'll get DVI to work?

How can I get the EDID of my Sammy? I don't have Windows installed on my Hack installation.

[Ciber]

So here are my results:

X1600XT(PCI-E) two DVI outputs

IONDRVSupport .5 and ATINDRV .5=Crash at loginwindow
IONDRVSupport .8 and ATINDRV .8=lose second screen at login, everything works on first screen
IONDRVSupport .5 and ATINDRV .8=lose second screen at login, everything works on first screen.
IONDRVSupport .8 and ATINDRV .5=Both screens work in mirrored mode, but lose res change.

I gotta head out for a bit, but there might be some hope with IONDRVSupport .8 and ATINDRV .5, i think... heh.

Neopheus, your installer worked perfect, i like it when it does the optimization at the end.
It worked, it installed perfectly over your previous 3.5 installer.
System Profiler shows same data, however there is now an entry at bottom for Display:
Good work to all involved.

Thanks

Thanks for the report, Billy!
However, I need testers for NVidia cards too! Would be perfect!

[pauℓzurrr.]

Can this kind of method be used on radeon cards to? (Mobility Radeon 9100?) thanks.

[bgrau]

Oki
I have an Nvidia card Geforce FX 5600XT, maybe tomorrow i slide it in the mobo instead of this one, now I am too tired (and lazy).
I saw some of the dudes who managed to get AGP (did they do it by hand hehe just joking)...
Thanks for the effort

Put your monitor on another computer with windows and then use edid-out or Monitor Asset Manager
There will be some hexdata

But: I have tried it with my monitor and it didn't work for me

This is the section that will be loaded for nVidia cards. You should look under Vendors->0x1002

Or just type this in the terminal: ioreg -l -w0 | grep "EDID"

Yes but EDID is for nVdia and dual monitor don't work for ATI!
