Ruud Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 That's it in a nutshell. I've seeded 2.6 copies of 321 so a couple ppl must have it, we need to pool our minds.Just noticed your post. I've gotten the half-blue/half-black screen also. I haven't tried hexediting the kexts yet. I did try one thing, to answer a question to myself (is ATIRadeon9700GLDriver.bundle needed for QE/CI?), I removed it from my Tiger install and lost QE/CI, so that tells us we definitely need that file.About your netkas update: Could we use 377? Does 377 have the Leo GUI? I dont know if leo 377 did had the leo gui, all i know that we wont get it to work unless apple releases intel compiled 9700 drivers. What netkas was talking about is that there are to many changes after 377 with opengl etc to get them to work. And if we could do it somehow, we still have to hexedit the kext at the correct place.

-aKy- Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 same here, QuartzGL supported. Btw, what is QuartzGL supposed to do? GUI doesn't seem to be faster though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the same as Quartz 2D Extreme in Tiger, its Quartz 2D on GPU/VPU, GUI rendering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spockers Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Was your successful install with the pacifist method? I would assume you used a hacked kernel and possibly the brazilmac extensions if you used pacifist. Please post your exact method and a good torrent site to search (or a direct link). I think it may be a while before we understand the changes enough to make a patch.My current torrent gets a file "h-mt10410x.r__" from pirate bay, if you have this version try dumping your tracker list since I have no seeds & 40% availability.We notice that the dock has not changed in this version, therefore a change was made to the graphics engine between 9a321 and the release build. It is possible that Apple found the ATIRadeon9700 kext unworkable after 9a321 and deprecated the card, not so much to hurt us, but because there was no Intel version of the card on the market for macs. (they could have deliberately sabotaged us also) A good combination to try would be the 9a31 kext plus the old dock and loginwindow. It may be that new effects are used are used after 9a321 and those references would fail with an older version of opengl and/or kexts. It could also be reverse and we could move the new dock onto 9a321. Apple should have a revision list they send to developers, we could check that out.Someone should also check the PPC version for changes. I don't know if it is possible to compare a Universal and a PPC executable, but we can definitely look at the info.plist file.--Again, seed your torrent, since many of us would be happy with any version of Leopard over Tiger. I am happily using 10.4.6, but new apps such as iWork and photoshop require at least 10.4.8 - 10.4.10 so I am forced to upgrade to something.UPDATE: I got 2 seeds, I'll be done in 2 weeks.I'm still seeding, you apparently are downloading 10.4.10, which is Tiger. The rest of your post makes a lot of sense, I wish I knew enough about OS X to find the right files to move, but my trial-and-error guesswork is just producing errors.Look on the bay for 9a321 Display: Type: Display Bus: PCI VRAM (Total): 256 MB Vendor: ATI (0x1002) Device ID: 0x4153 Revision ID: 0x0000 Displays:Display: Resolution: 1280 x 1024 Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Software Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Not Supported QuartzGL: Supported9550 CallistoFB AtiRadeon9700.kext Info.plistIs this under 9a321 or 581?

username931 Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 I'm still seeding, you apparently are downloading 10.4.10, which is Tiger. Yeah, I was downloading 10.4.10 also, I must have read the wrong torrent. My 9a321 torrent says leopord_client_9a321.dmg from piratebay. I see plenty of seeds and peers but I'm not downloading. I need transport encryption which may be a problem. What about your installation method? You obviously had to use a patched kernel but did you use patched kext files as well?

E@zyVG Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Is it possible, that if someone was able to enable CI/QE with cards ATI 9700-to-X850, I myself have X800, upload the kext files required to rapidshare, and other files that might be required. A small howto here will also not hurt. It doesn't make sence d/l complete ISO for few kext files. Thank You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-aKy- Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 sure, that would be possible, but currently nobody has made this working on Leopard yet. I'd like to see QE/CI with my x700 Mobility (5653) too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as simple as it may seem, that's why we need more minds working on it.Can you tell me pleas ware do you seed those files and size?ThanksToH is in a.b.boneless, 321 is on the bay.

heng2006 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 To spocker: My hardware AGP Card: PowerColor ATI 9600 Pro ez (Device id 4150, sub 1002) Mainboard Board: Asrock 4Core-Dual VSTA (VIA shipset) I install tiger dvd (Jas 10.4.8) with patch for 775-Dual VSTA. (has QE/CI) but it works as PCI bus (slowly). I try with several Callisto version but not work QE/CI (work as AGP bus) in this forum. Could you help me install to have QE/CI ang AGP bus , and post link any patch for this card? Thank you very much heng2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

username931 Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I am downloading from one seed, and I get between 0 and 1 kbs for a download speed. If that is either spockers or shako, can you find a way to increase your upload speed? I would be surprised to find that you had an upper limit at 1 kbs, but see what you can do. I've already spent a week to get to 50% and it is showing another 2-6 weeks to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

numberonekiwi Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I have downloaded 9a321 and extracted the ATIRadeon9700* .kexts and removed the old ones in the extensions folder (i did copy these to a different folder) and then copied th 9a321 ones to the extensions folder and chown -R root:wheel etc and chmod -R 755 etc When I rebooted it would not load the GUI only had black screen with loading info as I booted with -v -legacy however I did have the mouse pointer on that screen If I booted into safe mode -x I would get into GUI and everything appeared ok (no QE/CI) but looking at the newer kext files there seems to be CodeDirectory , CodeRequirements , CodeResources , CodeSignature files contained in the contents of these files Are these files of significance as to why I can't just use the 9a321 files do we need to modify these files ?? I will keep experimenting - I have now replaced them again with the original 9a581 files to boot normal mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
u4ia24 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Good work on the investigation! This is really the only thing stopping me from installing Leopard.. Sure wish some can find a way to make it work.. I have two OS X Tiger partitions that i can boot on to.. So i might install Leopard on one of them so i can also try to investigate. =) Good luck to us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
