jccool Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 (edited) Hello all, It seems that many people have device id 4240, i didnt expect this, my card is 7244 by default, my solution is only for device id 7244 not 7240, although I thought that 7240 was x19ooxt not 1950, my solution does not work for the pro, only xt with dev id 7244, reason why you have to reinstall osx86 is because mac assumes ur driver will work so theres no way of turning it off (there is but its complicated) I had to reinstall osx 13 times b4 i got my x1950xt to work, as for the x1900 xt (think its 7240), there is already a perfect working solution install this, http://www.necnet.de/krass.man/Installers/...00_3.5.mpkg.zip reboot and enjoy, thats my 25 cents, glad you learned bout kexts, its always same basic formula, for kexts. is your device 7240 or 7244 and do you have a pro or xt i was not cleared on this, thanks reaktor, usually the dev id for an x1900 is 7240, I can try modding my methode to fit your card if you want, Edited January 14, 2007 by jccool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm_ok Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 i have the x1950xt, and i tried with 7244 - not worked. so i'll try with 7240 i guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm_ok Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 and i ONLY checked this setting - 7244. i did nothing else besides your last description, because the first description with the 72c1 in the x1000ga.plugin file didnt work (no string like that in there) and the 7244 already was changed...

jccool Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 Hello Reaktor, your device id is 7249 so i modified my methode for your device id download THIS http://upload2.net/page/download/XhMiBzbtd...ns7249.zip.html and follow * THIS to install it...: Hello, Ok well first of all, mac is to bitchy to let you drag n drog a kext, basically, extract the extensions.zip to desktop, look inside, 5 files, cool eh? now go to system/library/extensions/ look there, if you see any of those 5 files DELETE em, so if you see x1000.kext or atindrv.kext exc in system extensions folder you drag em to da trash, now, the 5 files on your desktop, cant just drag n drop, that would be to easy, go to /applications/utilities/terminal.app (open terminal) then in terminal type sudo -s then your password then you need to sudo mv each file 1 at a time so type sudo mv /users/(name)/desktop/extensions/(one of the 5 files) /system/library/extensions for me, the atindrv file would look like, sudo mv /users/darwin/desktop/extensions/atindrv.kext /system/library/extensions do this command but for each 1 of the 5 files okay, by the end, the desktop/extensions folder should be empty, and /library/extensions folder should have 5 new files, not easy huh? bout to get harder, now, next 5 commands involve, sudo chown -R root:wheel now you have to sudo chown -R root:wheel all 5 files okay the command for atindrv would look like sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/atindrv.kext but NOT JUST 4 THAT ONE, all 5 of them okay, now, one more, now were doin, sudo chmod -R 755 so for atindrv it would look like sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/atindrv.kext but do it for ALL 5 FILES i cant emphasize that enough, now, CLOSE TERMINAL then go to /system/library and look for Extensions.mkext, and also look for extensions.kextcache, TRASH BOTH OF THESE (dont worry theyll come back on nxt boot.) now make sure your vga adapter is on the dvi port closest to the motherboard now reboot and your card should emit the right res, qe ci etc, plz try asap, and tell me if it works, Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaktor Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Hello Reaktor, your device id is 7249 so i modified my methode for your device id download THIS http://upload2.net/page/download/XhMiBzbtd...ns7249.zip.html and follow * THIS to install it...: ... Good Luck Thank you very much for your help! I got the screen resolution to 1680x1050 now and it looks great! But now I have another problem, after a couple of minutes, the screen freezes: One time, it looked like this: But all other times, the screen just got frozen: What could be wrong? Is there a way to fix this? Is it possible to make the graphics card fan spin a little bit faster? (Like you can do in Windows, if overheating is the problem) Since I haven't got the sound to work yet, I can't tell if it's only the screen that freezes or the whole computer, but I almost think it's the whole computer, based on the first image. Help would be very much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jccool Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 yes well mine does that too, it is unavoidable, it does freeze sometimes in first 5 seconds sometimes after 7 hours, i just take my time cliking and it is okay, glad it helped though, but if you find it too annoying you can always go back to 1024 but in my opinion, i rather live with the freezing, I hope that eventually the kexts will be improved and the freezing will end, Jccool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jccool Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 Oh yes and out of curiosity, what is your soundcard maybe there is a fix for it, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaktor Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 yes well mine does that too, it is unavoidable, it does freeze sometimes in first 5 seconds sometimes after 7 hours, i just take my time cliking and it is okay I'm not sure I got you. Is there a way to make the picture unfreeze, or is a hard reboot the only solution? About sound, I have a Creative X-Fi, which I don't believe works yet in OS X. But on my motherboard there's a Realtek sound chip if I'm not misstaken, My motherboard is called Asus P5W DH Deluxe http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?modelme...2=11&l3=248 And once again, thank you very much for your help!

hm_ok Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 hi again... still not working with a dvi-vga-adapter... i guess i have to take the d-sub-plug on my monitor, right?? and then, the adapter makes sense, because now i attachted a dvi-vga adapter to a vga-dvi-adapter to make the whole thing work with the dvi-plug on my screen... so the final question for me would be: do i need a vga-cable coming out of my screen? guess i'll have to try that again... damn, scratched together all my money just to buy that little thing for way too much money, and now this if i knew this before, i would have bought a x1950 or 1900, whichever works as a dvi, because this way i have to get a new vga-cable, costing 20 or 30 euros again... regarding the sound, i found no appleazalia file, maybe i haven't installed it at the beginning? anyway, i'm getting closer to heaven...

Well, I have an X1900XT and I just can't get it to work (making the machine not crash in other resolutions than 1024x768), also, i had to switch from DVI to VGA to get 1680x1050. But I still got my hopes up that I will get it to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm_ok Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 it works! i can change resolution and whatever. only i have to go into my vga-port, so it's a little more blurry i guess (as jccool mentioned). just to see about those crashes.... thanks again jccool for the help!! greetz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jccool Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 Glad you got it goin' I hope eventually i can figure a way to end the crashing, btw for your sound you have to rip the azailia kext from a 10.4.3 dvd and put it in, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jccool Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 Great News!!!! I did some work on atindrv and fixed the crashing and the artifacts!!!! yay!!! you still need to run through vga but atleast there aint no more cdrashing/artifacts . Just replace this atindrv with the other (sudo mv, sudo chown etc) dont drag n drop, Enjoy Tell me the results! This should also work for reaktor's x1900, Jccool Here's the link: http://upload2.net/page/download/sUVZ7diCV...V.kext.zip.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hm_ok Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 does this azalia solution also give me inputs? because output works fine for me... however the screen stayed black last time i switched on, but recovered as i put it in the right dvi-port. maybe, but less likely, it was due to the vga-extension cord that i attatched. of course with vga cable. then i had to switch the resolution to high again, and that worked, too. sometimes it works left, sometimes not, but on the right side it works always. strangely, i could even boot without switching my hd's to ahci... by the way, no artifacts or crashes on my machine!

jccool Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 Hi, Glad that there is no more cr5ash/artifacts on your side too! I think I read that that sou8ndcard only gives you output, I;m not sure what you mean by hd switching but the way I go from windows to mac is I go into the bios and make my mac drive the primary bot drive, then t boots from mac, then i make windows drive the primary one for windows, anyhow, now that I need not worry about crashing i can start being productive on my mac!

Jccool yes, no input, just output on my onboard soundcard. hd switching means i go to main - ide configuration - sata configuration - configure sata as - and then switch ide to ahci. thats for the p5b-e, latest non-beta bios (0607 i think). that was recommended in another post, and until i changed that, my grey apple screen would end up with a small crossed circle on the top of the apple, never finishing the boot process. this behavior however changed lately, and i can only assume that it was the vga and all the tweaking around that made it work without ahci, because this is the only major thing i changed. i have xp and osx both running on one hd, having partitioned the disk and formatted the first active primary partition in fat32 and installed osx first and then xp. only under these conditions would it work for me. no fat32 formatting or xp first would end up in a trashed system, and i already had f**** up mbrs after that... only when you want to reinstall osx i guess i get a problem, because then i have to remove xp also... or do i? and how about those strange folder permissions under xp, why do i have some folders to which "access is denied"? that's really uncool since some of my most important things lie there... any help about that? thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
