Hi all,

 

I got Mac OS X Server 10.4.7, ATI Radeon 9200 128MB AGP card - (non-mobility).

 

I have tried Katana 0.2c and at the circluar thing boot screen - it hangs.

 

I then tried Katana 0.3 and not much has changed...cept now i get no Kext Loaded...

 

Type: VGA-Compatible Controller

Bus: PCI

VRAM (Total): 128 MB

Vendor: ATI (0x1002)

Device ID: 0x5961

Revision ID: 0x0001

Kernel Extension Info: No Kext Loaded

Displays:

Display:

Resolution: 1280 x 1024

Depth: 32-bit Color

Core Image: Not Supported

Main Display: Yes

Mirror: Off

This is not suposed to happen right?

 

Am i doing something wrong here?

 

I managed to change the resolution to 1280 x 1024 via the com.apple.Boot.plist file.

I had the resolution to 1280 x 1024 but the monitor went out of sync and had to change it back to 1024 x 768....

 

Now i wonder how i can change the PCI bus to AGP...I mean this is an AGP card!

 

Edit:

 

I installed Katana 0.3a4 and it didnt detect my card again so i had to boot into safe mode and changed the vendor and card numbers.

 

It got AGP on my stats and can only seem to work on 1024x768..

 

How do i know if i have software 2d acceleration?

Is there something like Katana also for the Nvidea chipset of laptops, like the 440go that I have in my Compaq Presario R3000?

 

I mean all is running fast, only the screenresolution is on 1024 x 768 instead of 1200 x 800 normal resolution and no hardware acceleration... Is there a resolution? If anyone knows please PM me...

The above tutorial works GREAT for me (see 1st page/1st post)

I used Callisto_b006 on jas 10.4.8. DVD.

Installed clean with just intel sse2 support (i have amilo m 1425 pentium m centrino 1.8mhz), with ci/qe suport out of the box.

 

Chipset Model: Radeon Mobility 9600/9700 (M10/M11) NP

Type: Display

Bus: PCI

VRAM (Total): 128 MB

Vendor: ATI (0x1002)

Device ID: 0x4e50

Revision ID: 0x0000

 

so I got

 

Resolution: 1280 x 800 @ 60 Hz

Depth: 32-bit Color

Core Image: Supported

Main Display: Yes

Mirror: Off

Online: Yes

Quartz Extreme: Supported

 

After trying all sorts of solution this simple one worked first shot (to the letter, followed all reebotings during the hack)

 

Bugs:

-my video card is on AGP (detected as PCI, don't think performane is afected..any clue ?)

-"about mac" the CPU shows just 600mhz (lowest clock step) , my former 10.4.5 shows my CPU corectly at 1.8 mhz... also dont see any impact on performance.

 

History:

Something similar worked perfect for 10.4.5 (dont know the distro) but with Callisto_b003fixed and without hex hack.

 

I hope this helps
