Hi Matrix_ekb,

 

do you have mouse artifacts showing up?

 

You could try using gfx strings inside com.apple.Boot.plist Link

ATIinject didnt work for me when installing 10.6.0 on a Asus A8JP / Radeon x1700.

EDIT: Also please make sure you got the correct EDID for your display.

In order to get rid of the mouse artifacts, you need an older ATINDRV.kext.

I wrote a installation tutorial for the a8jp, didnt post it yet, but here is the graphics related part and a package of kernel extensions i use and the configuration files.

 

Files:

- Package AsusA8JPGraphicsPackage.zip

- gfxutil Link

 

Tutorial:

 

Read path for graphics device: ./gfxutil -f display

Insert path into x1700.plist

<plist version="1.0">

<dict>

<key>PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)</key>

 

Read EDID (via Windows tool for example) and insert into x1700 as base64 encoded string:

<key>LVDS,EDID</key>

<data> .. </data>

 

Convert x1700.plist to hex string: ./gfxutil -i xml -o hex x1700.plist x1700.hex

 

Insert content from x1700.hex into com.apple.Boot.plist:

<key>device-properties</key>

<string> .. </string>

 

Backup ATISupport.kext, ATIRadeonX1000.kext, ATIFramebuffer.kext to Desktop:

(You actually remove the Extensions, not just copy. Also make sure that ATIinject/Natit is removed)

 

sudo mv /System/Library/Extensions/ATISupport.kext /Users/<username>/Desktop

sudo mv /System/Library/Extensions/ATIFramebuffer.kext /Users/<username>/Desktop

sudo mv /System/Library/Extensions/ATIRadeonX1000.kext /Users/<username>/Desktop

 

Copy ATIRadeonX1000.kext and ATINDRV.kext to /S/L/E:

sudo cp -R path/to/ATIRadeonX1000.kext /System/Library/Extensions

sudo cp -R path/to/ATINDRV.kext /System/Library/Extensions

 

Clean Kernel Extension Caches:

sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/*

 

Restart System and boot with flags: -v -f

 

--

 

Please give it a try and tell if it works for you.

 

Greets,

Hey, guys!

Has anybody tried to get this card working using patched ATI1600Controller.kext (personality table) and injecting proper info into IOReg?

I mean this topic: http://www.insanelym...pic=249642&st=0

 

I came across with a weird problem: I can't get personality details from video bios.

 

Without patching personalities I always get black screen, but sleep seems to be working (I used teamviewer to access to laptop).

Asus F3Se, ATI Mobility Radeon x1700 (dev_id = 71DE).

Hi,

I have asus f3jp laptop (ati x1700, id=71d5)

I get full

resolution (1280x800) with QE/CI on Snow Leopard 10.6.3.

 

But,

I can't change resolution

(1024x768), and no QE/CI on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 !!

 

 

What should I do to get full resolution with

QE/CI on 10.6.8 ???
