ok here is for test  LaptopDisplay.kext

it "should" work on any laptop nevermind what video card is

if work you should see class "LaptopPanelA" attached to "IOPanelDevice" in root device tree ( under IOACPIPlatformExpert )

also there should be IOBackLightDisplay class set for current display not "IODisplay" !

please test and report and do provide ioregs

thanks

compiled kext:
source code:    

ps: ( read my notes in LaptopPanel.cpp for future hacking )

Hey np_!
Great work again!  
Could you please clearify "any laptop"?
So do you mean every laptop, which means the new and the old (ATI Radeon 9600 and so on)
or do you mean all laptops with higher chips (ATI Radeon X1x00)?

Thanks!

Ah ok... I see
And this is a kind of Titan or does it "just" enable the laptop display?
Sorry for so many questions but I'm at work atm...

What kernel version(s) should this be compatible with?

[cyclonefr]

wow great job done, i cant test till my notebook doesnt have osx but i'll think of it once kiko make 3945ABG work

Neo read ur pm i sent u one about NatitUni NV+ATi it doesnt handle X1600 PRO till u didnt put a menu for ATINDRV .5 and IONDRVSupport .5 in to the pkg. And i forgot to tell u remove the opengl what's the use? everybody is having it into there osx lol

btw np_ does it requires ATINDRV .5 and IONDRV .5 such as ATIinject was for X1600 mobility? i think so

please correct permissions manually and don't use diskutility.

You should do:

sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/LaptopDisplay.kext
sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/LaptopDisplay.kext
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions

then you may reboot. With me the LaptopDisplay.kext loads fine. But no output on LCD yet...

[Ezhoon]

I just dropped Laptopdisplay.kext into the extensions folder, corrected the permissions and cleared the cache.
Rebooted and my Sony Vaio still displayed the dreaded white screen

I couldn't find the class "LaptopPanelA" attached to "IOPanelDevice" in root device tree
IOBackLightDisplay class wasn't there either.

Anyway, thanks np_ for your continued effort on this problem

You should get your ioreg dumps with both the -l and -w0 flags...

At least your machine didn't hang.

hey please use ioreg -l -w 1024 > ioreg_go6200.txt and post it again

thanks

[Fernando Birra]

Hi np_,

here's my ioreg output. As I told you I had to remove the backlight-control key to have the machine boot. External display was attached but not correctly detected too. Sometimes it does sometimes it doesn't detect it

Forget the attachment. You've got a pm with the url. Sorry.
