Ezhoon Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I just installed the latest exp6 build by Semthex and I am very grateful for his great work. But there is an strange issue that bugs me : nothing is displayed on internal lcd screen of my vaio! Only external display connected via d-sub works and, on external display, qe/ci enabled too. I tried Titan, Natit, Natit_dual v0.02, Neo's Universal Installer v1.0 but to no avail. Sony Vaio FS15LP Intel Pentium M Dothan 2.13Ghz Nvidia Geforce Go 6200 Turbocache Ich 6M 1GB DDR 15.4" Widescreen, native resolution of 1280x800 dmesg output shows this: NVDANV40HAL loaded and registered.

Fernando Birra Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Welcome to the boat of GeForce Go! Or should I say no go? I have a similar problem with my GeForce Go5200. We have to discover which keys are missing to properly initialize the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando Birra Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 I think we need a ioreg dump in single user from an iMac 24" with the nVidia card... Does anyone have access to one of this machines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katmail Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Set your Bios to ACIP Suspend State to S1. It's easy to put computer to sleep and later wake it up S1 is safest mode but consume more power The computer will put the Display and Harddrive to sleep This is a tip I get from Developer Prasys from Malaysia,KL Don't put to S3 although it save more power... Certain driver may not support S3 State . If you computer can be put to sleep. Try to put the Computer to sleep without display screen If you know any shortcut key to do that ..Use your method because I don't how and I am more loss than you Without display you can turn the computer to sleep First use shortcut Ctrl F2 that will go to the apple blue menu next step Press return key Next step Press the down arrow key 9 times If you are lazy to count press the yellow key many times more the 12 times then press up arrow key 3 times Once you got the correct location down menu Next step Press return key that will put your computer to sleep Next step Wake up your computer by pressing any keys or move your mouse Once the computer wake up hope the computer will display your desktop I only speculate this as I don't encounter these problems Just give a try no harm trying If it works for you please report the feedbacks if it don't work for you,hope others will can help ,at least you give it a try Hope it help Katmail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando Birra Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Some new developments... I've been trying to collect ioreg dumps from real macs with lcd panels attached. I currently have a single user dump from a Macbook with X1600 and a full dump from an iMac 15" with Fx 5200. It seems that there is a "backlight" device listed before the video drivers kick in. In the case of the Macbook this is the information: +-o PNLF <class IOACPIPlatformDevice, registered, matched, active, busy 0, retain count 6> | | { | | "_UID" = "10" | | "name" = <"APP0002"> | | "_STA" = 11 | | "compatible" = <"backlight"> | | } Perhaps the ACPI bios is queried about the existance of a display device attached. I know that my lcd panel is not connected to the display card via the traditional I2C bus and that the EDID information needs to be read from the BIOS. Apparently this is also true on the Macbook Pro. After booting the previous entries are extended to: +-o PNLF <class IOACPIPlatformDevice, registered, matched, active, busy 0, retain count 7> | | | { | | | "ApplePanelRawBrightness" = 255 | | | "ApplePanelRawTable" = <0000350035003500350035003500350035003600370039003a003c003d003f004000420044004 00470048004a004b004d004f005000520053005500560058005a005b005d005e0060006100630065 06600680069006b006c006e0070007100730074007600770079007a007c007e007f0081008200840 8500870089008a008c008d008f009000920094009500970098009a009b009d009f00a000a200a300 500a600a800aa00ab00ad00ae00b000b100b300b400b600b800b900bb00bc00be00bf00c100c300c 00c600c700c900ca00cc00ce00cf00d100d200d400d500d700d900da00dc00dd00df00e000e200e4 0e300e700eb00ef00f300f700fb00ff00> | | | "compatible" = <"backlight"> | | | "name" = <"APP0002"> | | | "_STA" = 15 | | | "_UID" = "10" | | | } | | | | | +-o AppleIntelPanelA <class AppleIntelPanelA, !registered, !matched, active, busy 0, retain count 5> | | { | | "IODisplayParameters" = {"brightness"={"min"=0,"max"=128},"commit"={"reg"=0}} | | "CFBundleIdentifier" = "com.apple.driver.AppleBacklight" | | "IOClass" = "AppleIntelPanelA" | | "IONameMatched" = "backlight" | | "IOProbeScore" = 2000 | | "ApplePanels" = {"F10P9c63"=<0000000000e500ff>,"F10P9c57"=<0000003500e200ff>,"F10P9c58"=<0046004600d700ff>,"F10P9c5f"=<0000003e01070128>,"F10P9c5a"=<004c004c00cc00ff>,"F10P9c59"=<004c004c00cc00ff>,"F10P9c65"=<0000000000e500ff>,"F11P9c58"=<004a004a00ee0128>,"F10P9c5b"=<0000003e01070128>,"F10P9c60"=<0000003500e200ff>,"F10P9c5c"=<0000003e01070128>,"F10P9c61"=<0000003700e700ff>,"Default"=<000007400af7fffe>,"F10P9c56"=<0000003500e200ff>,"F10P9c5d"=<0000003e01070128>,"F10P9c62"=<0000003700e700ff>,"F10P9c5e"=<0000003e01070128>} | | "IOMatchCategory" = "IODisplayParameters" | | "IONameMatch" = "backlight" | | "IOProviderClass" = "IOACPIPlatformDevice" | | } So, it seems that the drivers got the details from the BIOS later and the AppleIntelPanelA was created... Perhaps this will sched some light on the subject to someone... I wish I had an iMac 24" ioreg dump... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezhoon Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 First, Katmail's suggestion didn't work for me :pirate2: Second, Fernando, I might be able to get a ioreg of imac24. I'll post them here asap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neos Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I myself also using a Vaio-S54 1280x800 res.Been trying to just change the res since day one installing mac os 10.4.8 8.8.1 Jas beta 2.Tried doing mumble jumble things with my laptop, formated nearly a hundred times still can't get the damn thing to work. The closest one i've tried was using Titan with manually putting my lcd edid into it.It boot into black screen but displays out NVIDIA FLAT PANEL with the right changeble res up to 1280x800 with QE and CI which means it detected my lcd.I can see all this but with a external monitor. Tried using NVidia EFI, Laptop DIsplay, MacVidia (crashes) titan,natit all no problem but only with external monitor. So may i ask is there anybody out there which is successfully using their VAIO (Geforce NO GO)native res w QE and CI? If yes i hope there will be a kind soul let us know wat version of osx, wat kext been modified and also wat drivers? If no i guess i have to carry a monitor around to use the STARBUCKS (sounds cool ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
