Hello everybody!

Update:

I managed to get ATI mobility X1700 to work on internal Display, but I need to do some work before I'm gonna release it. I don't have qe / ci tried with framebuffer working yet (without it gives a kernel-panic anyway....)


Max

Great!
Of course I will make an installer if you allow
The thing is that the user has to enter the EDID by himself... Autodetection would be much better!
I made a Natit version for mobility cards too, but it doesent work very well...
I'm looking forward for testing various injections!

Ah I just had an idea...
Installer -> at the end opens a script in terminal -> user has to enter EDID -> patching and reboot...

Cool I will try tomorrow!


Good Luck and have fun in spain!

This is great to HEAR!!! i'm been struggling all week last week, and always stopped at a laptop screen with only backlight burning but no image... this is what i learned so far.

when using 1048 extensions there was no backlight, no QE and no res change "I checked using a VNC remote connection"
when using atindrv1045 and iondrv1048 there was no QE/CI but there was res change "backlight on"
when using atindrv 1045 and iondrv1045 there was QE and RES change but still no image"only backlight on"

BTW Themaxx32000 were you using a 256 or 512 mb x1600?
and are the kexts from the old working laptop or the new one?

I will keep you posted after my next install

It works!!!!!!

There are 2 info.plist files in atiinject are the both compatbile?

Or is the second one more for internal-LCD-only as i underunderstand correctly?


YES YES YES it works... it works!!!!!!! wohooooo i've been doing countless efforts last week and now it works!!!

everything works even external dvi "a second monitor"


Are Rotation and Colorsync working with yours?

grtz

I have try new ATIinjcet with all kext 10.4.8 and work on may Ati Radeon Sapphire X1600 PRO PCI-e 512 Mb.

I have change my id ----> 71C2
Dual monitor don't work.

Rotation is only supported on my external monitor, I'll do a total system reinstall, and than will post my findings.

Still Superb WORKS TheMaxx32000!!!

For getting EDID, use this Phoenix edit

http://www.tucows.com/preview/329441

get edid from registry > save as DAT.

edid the dat file in notepad and place everything in portions of 8 with a space...

xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx you will end up with 32fields of xxxxxxxx in a row

use PLIST editor from APPLE's Xcode ""its a 900mb dmg"" you have to download it

than in plist edid open the info.plist form ATIinject than put in your EDID

well you're the man max!
as far i know there are problem x1400 when detect internal display,
is it possible can solve x1400 issue too? perhaps with just add x1400's dev id and edid data

@eGWan, did you try adding your edid-data to ATIinject.plist and change all "Wormy" to "Caretta"? Just an idea...

The maxx which kernel are you using on the coreduo laptop?

Thank you TheMaxx32000 for posting these configs! I ve been probing with them many-many hours today on my x1400 mobility laptop.
I posted the results in this thread.
Well not managed to make internal lcd work but was able to collect some information that may be useful later.. who knows..

thanks max' i'll try it and will report soon

hey eGWan!
forget it. don't try with 'Caretta' setting. it wont work for sure on internal lcd.
only worth would be trying with Wormy, cause thats the only driver-plugin with LVDS port detecting functionality.
here is the prove
sad though

Maxx,

your setup using both 10.4.5 kexts might actualy work for you. After much testing I have found that changing key system files can have an effect on whether or not my mobility x1600 laptop boots to the desktop or a screen of black and blue lines. If my laptop boots to the lines more than twice in a row I have found that booting with a different semthex kernel than the one I have been using causes the graphics to render correctly. I can only assume that the out-of-order Natit method of injecting information to the kernel sometimes sends the information too late or it ends up getting corrupted in memory somehow. For anyone having problems with x1600/1700, try booting with another kernel and post results.

-ass

@ maxx:

i do have the same ASUS a8jp like you, so i'm really looking forward to get the x1700 working properly ...

greets

I have an ASUS F3JA with 256MB x1600 Mobility. I get a black screen with this using the correct edid data. Although, I can get the LCD up by doing a fn+F8 for my specific laptop. The OSX desktop is a bit garbled and therefore unusable though.

I got the latest windows driver for my x1600 mobility from ATI but this wouldn't install giving me a message saying get support from your vendor. I assumed this was because of the contract between ATI and ASUS. If the ATI windows drivers can detect my specific card as being slightly different to a generic x1600 mobility then maybe that is why this didn't work for me. I suppose a possibility is to try to flash my x1600 mobility with a firmware/bios from a generic one. Scary! Comparing a dump of the firmware/bios from my x1600 mobility and a generic one may yield results.

Maybe I made a mistake with the files. Any help would be appreciated, but as it is new years eve, her and meself have been invited out for debasement, so I will be back tomorrow.


This info may be useful to a newbie:- I can just about use terminal from osx or darwin (F8 during bootup then -s at prompt) but find that the MacDrive application in windows allows me to swap and delete .kext files/folders fine. I got plist edit pro by googling and downloading.

Don't use PLIST edit PRO, it has been stated in older threads in november that this is changing the plist in a NEGATIVE way, I only got it working with the real plist editor form XcodeTOOLS.

You might also try using IOGRAPHICSfamily.kext and Applebacklight.kext from 1045, but first get the real plist editor...

could some please recap what's really needed to get internal display working?
10.4.5 or 10.4.8 + the files posted in the first post?

hummm maybe u should try only ATINDRV .5 and the rest using .8 files...
i just think X1700 isnt supported now, else try the .5 kexts + opengl.fk

Thanks walterav. My x1600 mobility is still not functioning properly. Every other boot it shows alternate black and white stripes. When it does boot to a desktop, the screen is split into four like in the attached photo, but it does show 1280x800 now. I have reverted to Semthex kernel from Mifki, both from Jas 10.4.8 DVD. I am using 10.4.5 ATINDRV.kext and IONDRV.kext from the Apple download. ATIinject.kext came from this #1 post. I put the EDID's in using Apple Property List Editor sourced from the Useful files in the Genius Bar.

very interesting post, I will follow it with a big attention.
I have an Asus F3Ja too and I hope we can resolve this problem.

I'll search in my own way and share to the community if I find something helpful.

See you!

Thibault

The ASUS F3JA has QE/CI without any modification on 10.4.8 but it has slight mouse tearing issues and non-native resolution (1024x768). These are the reasons why I want to get I want to get ATIinject working with my laptop. I think it is a problem with the EDID data as to why my screen shows four mini desktops with ATIinject. I get the feeling that the display is trying to output 2560x1600, hence the four 1280x800 desktops. If I understood EDID data and was confident, I would try to edit the string to output correctly. Here is my data:-

00FFFFFF FFFFFF00 0DAF2615 00000000
09100103 80211578 0AC6A99A 574E8526

004E3135 3449322D 4C30320A 20200088

Here are mine, if it can help.

The only difference between our EDID data is the 111th byte, which is A0 in yours and 20 in mine. This could be as simple as a reference to the panel manufacture date.

okay fellas got it working!!!
used JAS 10.4.8 + ATINDRV.kext + IONDRVSupport.kext from the older JAS 10.4.5 DVD
entered my EDID in info.plist and info2.plist repaired permissions etc and.... got QE/CI res changed and all the stuff fully working
nice to have 1600*1050 on the internal display finally

cheers

sheriff

can you put a step by step guide on how you did it? i have been trying for quite sometime, and all i get are black lines..

Please give exact instructions, kexts, versions, plist edits, and exact hardware. You may be able to solve a problem for many, myself included.

humm.. sound interesting!

can you also post IONDRVSupport.kext from 10.4.5 please?

good news cheers, hope it will work for all our laptops!

see ya

Hello, has anybody been able to get that ATI X1700 working???

That asus-a8jp sure does look sweet with the dvi-out too, but if a laptop gonna dance with me, it gotta be able to Hackintosh!

Any news?

greetinz, n.m.

The 10.4.5 IONDRVSupport.kext can be extracted from the 10.4.5 Intel Update on the aPPLE website. I have not had time to mess around with this recently, but I have got Ubuntu running sweetly with XGL and Beryl. Ubuntu kills OSX! I haven't given up on getting 1280x800 with QECI and no mouse issues.

Double post sorry

okay for everybody here are my used kexts...
u only have to enter ur EDID into the info.plist in the ATIinject.kext with Apples Plist Editor (from Genius bar)

repair permissions
chown and chmod ATIinject.kext (u should know how 2 do this )
reboot and enjoy full res, QE/CI...
only one issue is left: as soon as you close the lid and reopen the image is garbage and u have to reboot the machine...

cheers
sheriff

I tried with this zip and it makes my screen splitted in four...

did you enter the edid correctly????
i hate to say this but PLEASE PUT YOUR TECHSPECS IN UR SIGNATURE otherwise it's impossible to get a picture of ur issue!

I correctly entered my EDID but I will retry the operation, I don't verified the vendor ID and device ID.

I used the Repair___Set_Permissions_1.0 tools to repair permissions.

We're on the way.

See you soon,

Thibault

SUCCESS!!!!! Many months of trying, kexts, injectors, EDIDs, bios settings...

FireGL5200 256 MB 71c4 ThinkPad T60p 1400x1050

This gives me hardware mouse, Switching into OpenGL doesn't "shatter" it all over the screen...

I can change the display brightness and calibrate it. It shows my two displays.

better performance xbench

Two issues:
1. I get a bios security error upon coming out of sleep? Is this a kernel, bios, or driver issue? (TPM is disabled on my device), or type of sleep setting.

2. Some displayed resolutions, like 680x680 create a black screen necessitating a clearing of all reslution files /preferences/byhost

I tried it again with PList Editor. I copy/paste my EDID data and it modified it as it wants ! I think it doesn't saved my modified Info.plist. With this, I get the screen cut in four part, each part was bigger than the last time... perhaps I'm on the good way..

I tried next with textedit, and I get a wonderfull blackscreen.

I will try again and again until it works !!!

Pls show me how to do the "chown and chmod" ,thanks!

I'm sorry for the stuck progress, but I'm writing exams right know and will be finished in february. Last week, I also bad-flashed my A8JP while trying to change X1700 BIOS to X1600. We'll see what happens if I get it back.

I'll do my best, to find an "universal"-mobility-solution for X17xx/X16xx soon.

Max

open terminal
type:
sudo -s
enter ur password
cd /system/library/extensions
chown -R root:wheel atiinject.kext
chmod -R 755 atiinject.kext

close terminal

7. Repair Peri¡missions using the disk utility in Utilies in the Finder or typing in terminal: sudo diskutil repairpermissions /

8. In Terminal type: sudo chown -R root:wheel ATIinject.kext

9. In Terminal type: sudo chmod -R 755 ATIinject.kext

10. In Termina type: cd /System/Library
sudo rm -rf Extensions.mkext Extensions.kextcache

edit: owned... :-D

no clue about x200
but the wrong thread i think....hmmm

so.. my card is detected as an ATI Radeon X1600 Mobility, I've got all spec in the System Profiler (QE & CI enabled, 256Mo ram, correct device ID and vendor ID). My card is well recognized, and I haven't got any pointers problems.

But I still have a splitted screen in four.
Have you deleted the others Radeon kext ?

In the system profiler > Software > Extensions, I only have ATIRadeonX1000.kext, not the ATIInject whicj contains my EDID data...

Sorry for my bad english!

My laptop is asus f3ja as Hubb's laptop!

Mobility Radeon X1600 not working! I try all driver but video non working!

Hubb: can you send me your atiinject (tigreale@libero.it)? i can try to my laptop..

SaxMachine: ti avevo mandato un pm, ma non so se ti è arrivato, quando cliccavo su invia non mi dava alcuna conferma ne con safari ne con firefox.... se ti sono arrivati, scusami: te ne saranno arrivati 3...

Hubs atiinject will only work for u if u have exactly the same EDID...
please start OSX with option -v

does it show the ATIinject startup messages?

cheers
sheriff

I reinstalled osx for various problem (experiments)!

I not remember atiinject message... i delay... maybe laptopdisplay (view topic in this forum) can resolve my problem...

my english is very very bad!
