Attached is a version of Natit.kext which should work to drive dual displays in extended desktop mode (mirror mode does not appear to work yet).

This is almost exactly the same as Dm_webd's 2nd version except one key, "NVCAP", has been added to the kext's Info.plist "entiresToAdd" dictionary.

CODE

"NVCAP = <04000100 00000300 0c000000 0000000a 00000000 >

Please test and post results here.

EDIT: This worked for me with a 3D Fusion 7600GS (VGA / DVI) with the two VGA Samsung 712n's using one DVI->VGA adapter.

EDIT2: Attached is Natit dual display version 0.02. This adds the "@0,NVMT" key and value.

CODE

"@0,NVMT = <0a037f20 4c2d1c02 78051a04 4807d005 60060000 41041d04 21040000 f0c14107 00000100 000000ff 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 ffff0000 00000000 00000000 01000000 00000000 >

EDIT3: This appears to solve the problem with dual DVI cards, it works with my XFX 7600GS.

And don't forget to go through all the normal kext installation steps (chown, chmod, rm .mkext, rm .kextcache) when installing this new version.

Just follow Omni's instructions (which I have slightly modified):

CODE

Note: This might only work on 10.4.8:

Instructions
- Put Natit kext (remove Titan is necessary) in your /System/Library/Extensions/ folder
- Correct the file premissions: sudo chown -R root:wheel Natit.kext; sudo chmod -R 755 Natit.kext
- Remove the cached and packed extensions: sudo rm -f /System/Library/Extensions.mkext /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache
- reboot.

Bofors,

Test Results :

I have a Syncmaster 225BW Samsung
and 1 Apple Cinema Display 20"

Both DVI connected to XFX GeForce 7600 GT

With Titan, the Syncmaster worked and the Apple screen was black

Now with your modified kext, the apple screen is on, but syncmaster is off.

Recognized both screens, but Samsung is not functioning.

Also, tried detecting displays on System Pref, unsuccessful.

Let me know if there's anything else you need me to test.

Thanks for the report, my XFX 7600GS (Dual DVI) should be here tomorrow and I have two DVI Samsung 204BW's to test with as well.

So, I should be able to reproduce your results and isolate the problem.

I will be back at this tomorrow.

At boot, it takes about 15 seconds longer to get to the desktop than with single display, however, it does indeed work for both screens.

One problem: when you click on detect displays, the syncmaster (my left screen - connected to DVI port closest to the motherboard) goes black and never comes up. My mouse gets very slow and I can't get the syncmaster back again until I pressed my reset button.

Also, the syncmaster automatically became my dock and finder display. Which is fine, I figured it should default that way considering its connected to the inner most DVI port.

As for detect displays, make sure to test that once you get your XFX card in your box.

So far so fantastic. I see this as revolutionary as a new kernel to me. I'm amazed there are not too many people jumping all over this like jack rabbits. Anyway, I shall await further testing instruction.

My XFX 7600GS just showed up and I can also confirm that the Natit dual v0.02 works for me too. I am running full dual DVI (no VGA convertors) to two Samsung 204BW at 1680 x 1050.

However, selecting "Detect Displays" disables a panel. I will be adding the VGA adapters next.

EDIT: Ok, this also works using VGA adapters to a VGA displays (Samsung 712n's here).

Fully working with Natit. Except with only one display.

bofors

Nov 9 2006, 03:07 AM

I don't expect this to work because you have a dual DVI card, but you can try the attached version of Natit which has the "@0,NVMT" key-value pair removed from the Info.plist. You can also try a version which leaves the "@0,NVMT" key-value pair in but removes the "NVCAP" key-value pair instead, but I do not expect that to work either.

I think the problem is that either the "@0,NVMT" value or "NVCAP" value (or both) is wrong for the 7900 (somebody with a VGA / DVI could isolated the "@0,NVMT" question by using the attached kext). I do not know what the correct value(s) is either.

However, it might be possible to get this value(s) somehow from Windows or Linux driver analysis through something like an IOReg dump. It also might be useful to look an IOReg dump of a Mac Pro with an Nvidia Quadro card to see what the values are there. Finally, you should post (via a text attachment) a IOReg dump from your system both from single-user mode, and after a normal with and without the version of Natit which works for you.

Code that short has to be easy to port. Only difficulty would be IOKit's integration.

QUOTE(james2mart @ Nov 9 2006, 06:25 AM)

I have checked that code and the calls to VBE done there is easy, as real-mode calls are available. I'm not sure about real-mode calls are available in the Mac OS kernel(I doubt it). So my approach will be to try using the VBE/Core 3.0 protected mode interface. But that requires adding entries to the GDT and I haven't written code before to do that.
I have just finished making the headers with the structures needed for the GDT pointer and entries, and I have an idea for the asm code to add the entries. I don't know if it'll work, or crash the system. This code needs to run at ring0 (I would believe the code in a kext is run at this level, but I'm not sure as kernel programming is not something I've done too much of - especially regarding the mac kernel).
I'm off to work now, but as soon as I get home I'll try to make some code to access the GDT, then add entries and hope that it won't crash.
If anyone has more insight into the workings of the GDT and the mac os kernel, I would be very interested in hearing your thoughts about my approach.

This is apparently "normal" for the hack, I have the same issue. Setting the EDID's does not appear to fix it either, so apparently some other key-value pairs need to be set.

Bofors - Been dying to try this since you posted it. Only had the cojones today to upgrade to 10.4.8 and nVidia. 3D Fusion DS 256mb - VGA only through VGA port, no DVI (and no VGA out of the DVI port through the adaptor either). Monitors - two SGI 1600SW's through a pair of SGI Multilink adaptors (VGA and DVI)
Odd - its the same card as your original test card.

On bootup, if I have one monitor attached to the DVI port, I see the BIOS screens displayed - but the screen goes black. The monitor still shows a connection tho. JaS 10.4.8, Semthex's kernel, Pentium 4 3.06.

Nov 12 01:39:50 localhost kernel[0]: Matching service count = 2

So a question to the folks who have the 7600's... Did you modify the NVDANV40Hal.kext, and NVDAResman.kext's to have a new device ID?

Also, is there any sort of dumps, tests, etc that I can do that will help you guys with your efforts?

Thanks

I offer 50,- PayPal Euro (or through bank transfer if you live in an european union state and got a valid iban+bic number) if anyone could make it work for my MSI 7900 GTO 512MB PCI-E Card! Since i dont got the skills to do it i hope someone else got it.

I know, it isnt much, but maybe someone is willing to help. Bought the card only for OSX and am desperate to get it working.

I can be contacted through pm, email: stefan.prager@inode.at, or ICQ 93483948

Thanks in Advance

No luck here with an eVGA7900GT. Is there something else I should be doing? Natit and Titan work fine on their own...

Should I have to make any modifications to the file, or just plug it in, set permissions, and delete the extension caches?

Well, I think a lot of people will want to get this working on the Mac Pro, so I am sure something will come up.

If you happen to have access to either of the other Mac Pro (the ATI or Quadro), some IOReg dumps might be useful.
