In Topic: Triple monitors on 6870 - doesnt enable all three at boot?

06 August 2012 - 11:45 PM

hey guys, maybe you can help me with this problem:

Card:

PowerColor Radeon HD 6870 AX6870 1GBD5-2DH Video Card with Eyefinity
Chipset Manufacturer: AMD
Core Clock: 900MHz
Stream Processors: 1120 Stream Processors
Effective Memory Clock: 1050MHz (4.2Gbps)
Model #: AX6870 1GBD5-2DH

I'm on a hackintosh Asus P8Z68V-Pro with unlocked bios 3402, core 7 2600k, 16gb ram

On boot, I get garbled screen on the monitor linked to displayport 1 (with active adapter). The other 2 work fine.

Sleep/Wake or disconnecting/reconnecting one of the displayports fixes the borked display. Setup is: monitors working in DVI1, DVI2, displayport 1 (with active adapter).

I´m on Mountain Lion GM.

chameleon just have GE=yes, Gibba (modded to fix the other ports, bug already occurred before the modding with original kext) and ATIPorts=5.

Any clues on whats wrong?

Thanks for the good guide (rewritten).  After I read this topic, I thought to get all working connectors of my PowerColor HD6870 (AX6870 1GBD5-2DH) last night.  Finally, I got all connectors today.

Physical layout:

|__DVI 1__|  /_HDMI_\  |_DP2_|  |_DP1_|

|__DVI 2__|

Based on Chameleon Boot loader, it will use Duckweed as default when GraphicsEnabler is yes.  Duckweed supports DVI 1 + HDMI + DP1 + DP2 natively.  However, Dvi 2's not working at all.

Based on 10.7.2 combo update:

Personality: Duckweed
ConnectorInfo count in decimal: 4
Disk offset in decimal 523688
0000000 00  04  00  00  04  03  00  00  00  01  00  00  12  04  04  01

I looked personalities and got Gibba that is similar to Duckweed.  Gibba has 5 connectors while Duckweed has 4 connectors.  I booted with AtiConfig=Gibba and got DVI 1 and HDMI working.  So, I tried to change as following

from

Personality: Gibba
ConnectorInfo count in decimal: 5
Disk offset in decimal 523928
0000000 00  04  00  00  04  03  00  00  00  01  00  00  12  04  05  01

0000040 04  00  00  00  04  02  00  00  00  01  00  00  11  02  01  03
0000050

to

Personality: Gibba
ConnectorInfo count in decimal: 5
Disk offset in decimal 523928
0000000 00  04  00  00  04  03  00  00  00  01  00  00  12  04  04  01 ---- DP 1
0000010 00  04  00  00  04  03  00  00  00  01  00  00  22  05  05  02 ---- DP 2
0000020 00  08  00  00  04  02  00  00  00  01  00  00  11  02  06  04 ---- HDMI
0000030 00  02  00  00  14  02  00  00  00  01  00  00  00  00  03  05 ---- DVI 1
0000040 04  00  00  00  04  02  00  00  00  01  00  00  11  02  01  06 ---- DVI 2
0000050

Then, I could use combination of either DVI 1 + DVI 2 + DP 1 + DP 2 or DVI 1 + HDMI + DP 1 + DP 2 as maximum four connectors.  Also, I could use DVI 1 + DVI 2 or DP 1 + DVI 2 or DP 2 + DVI 2, for example. All connectors can be plugged and unplugged (detectable).

Note: DVI 2 will be disable when HDMI is active. I was using HexEdit to edit the personality. Using PowerColor active mini DisplayPort / DisplayPort to DVI adaptors.

Got maximum working three monitors properly.

DP2DVI + HDMI + DVI
DP2DVI + DVI + DVI
DP2DVI + DVI2VGA + DVI2V, etc.
must use DP to get the third monitor.
also
DP2DVI + HDMI
DP2DVI + DVI, etc

I tried this on AMD6000Controller on Mountain Lion GM, using a PowerColor just like yours, but the DVI2 port still wont work. Anyone have a clue on why?
