sheriffbounce : Another question is that I found the data which i entered into Info.plist by capitalization. will it be wrong?

 

Apple plist editor converts the edid automatically...all you have to do is to regroup the EDID as described in the beginning of this thread and paste it then @the right place...

 

or just send me a PM with your EDID and i'll send you the ATIinject back (just for the very beginners in OSX)

 

cheers

Replacing info.plist with info2.plist is the only thing i didn't try, so if this works for the ASUS f3ja, which my laptop is, i will be chuffed to bits. I will then have a fully working system, because i am using Logitech USB headphones for sound in and out and Linksys WUSB54G wireless USB stick for the net. Only problem is I formatted my mac partition to use for storage space at new year. My 10.4.8 install disc is 60 miles away, so I will have to wait to test this. I have Ubuntu 6.10 running sweet on this laptop. The 3D desktop in Ubuntu using fglrx (for x1600) and beryl is amazing. If anyone needs help setting Ubuntu up on any x1600 system (and especially the f3ja) then just ask me, i'm sure you will be impressed.

boot your notebook and press F8 to get the bootoptions of the Darwin Bootloader

enter -s

at the prompt after starting the console enter:

/sbin..blablabla (OSX tells you how to mount the system, it's 2 lines)

 

then:

cd /system/library/extensions

rm -rf atiinject.kext

cd ..

rm extensions.kextcache extensions.mkext

reboot

 

 

now your system should start again...

 

did you use the zip posted by me?

which systemconfiguration u have? which kernel?

 

could you please post your ATIinject.kext here?

 

I used the first zip file from you posted on site 1,

I use a Asus A8JP Laptop with 10.4.8 JAS!

 

Here are the main facts from Laptop!

 

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Prozessor T7200 (2.0 GHz, 667 MHz FSB, 4 MB L2 Cache)

14" Asus Color Shine Glare Type WXGA+ TFT Display mit 1440 x 900 Bildpunkten High Resolution

Intel® Centrino® Mobiltechnologie mit Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Prozessor / Intel® 945PM Chipsatz

1024 MB DDR2-667 (max. 2048 MB) - 2 S0DIMM Sockel

ATI Mobility Radeon X1700 256 MB VRAM (512MB HyperMemory™ Technologie) (vl: 2,5ns DDR2 GPU 475Mhz/RAM 400MHz) gleict dem X1600, vlt kommt noch ein optimierter Catalyst...

HDD 120 GB Ultra DMA100 SATA 5.400 rpm, Web-/Videokamera (0.35 Megapixel) + Mikrofon, DVI Schnittstelle

8x DVD-Super Multi Double Layer Laufwerk - USB Diskettenlaufwerk optional / 2-Spindle Design - 3D Soundsystem + Stereo-Lautspr.

 

(ich weisst ja, dass du auch Deutsch kannst, aber damit alle was davon haben ... :guitar:)

 

Your solution for the booting problem works, but first of all you have to this command

 

mount -uw /

 

Okay now i'm trying your atiinject.kext from site 5!

 

See ya

Okay i tried now your AtiInject.kext from page5 and starimages' kext from page 5. Both with my EEID and i updated the Dev and Ven Id's with my one's.

 

No one has loaded correctly.

 

Do you have any other ideas to get my X1700 running?

 

See ya

I have an asus a7jc, I tried with sheriffbounce's kext and starimage's kext (that has my same laptop) but I get only a blackscreen on both my monitors (internal display and a sony hdm-a230 17" crt). I installed jas 10.4.8.sse2.see3 dvd with kernel 8.8.1 with v1 patch. What could i do?

just read the thread exactly-starimage may have the same laptop as u but he definitly has a different EDID...without your own EDID it wont work..

you could try these 2 methods:

http://www.installers.dl.am/ this is NEOs installer...

or

 

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry130050

Borisbadenov's method...don't know if this one works for 10.4.8 ....but just saw u already tried this method...

only have mobility x1600...but this method gave me perfect graphis on the external display (10.4.5) maybe u have to use the 10.4.5 kexts and frameworks... no real clue...

thanks for your input sheriff but already tried both those methods over ten times over a few weeks, any other ideas pls let me know thanks. actually in the boris method i couldnt find IONDRVDevice string and ATY,Wormy string anywhere in ATINDRV, could this have anything to do with it, where do i get the 10.4.5 kexts and framework as it cant be installed on this machine for some reason it doesnt boot up

Thanks

sheriffbounce: I have tried the ATIinject.kext files you gave to me . but I got a black screen then. So it seems not work on my Notebook. I have checked the vedio card's DEV ID , there are all right. So how can I do then? My NoteBook is ASUS A6j series.

10.4.5 kext's and opengl framework can be obtained by downloading Intel 10.4.5 update from the apple site. Don't run the update, just extract the kext's you require.

 

 

thanks mac sussed for the input could also tell me how to re instate these kext's or what to do with them and do i need some permissions, thanks i just need a step by step procedure if possible
