koverg Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 Sorry... I just figured out that the patch is working for those who have device id 5b60 or above. My fault. Going to get out with a new version soon. I hope soon even more people will be happy with it. Gabor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scousi Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 this is a great thread!Has anyone been able to get a PCI express mobility laptop ATI card to work? (X300 or X600?) thanks! I tried this a few week ago on my x200. Device ID was 5a62. I figured it was pretty close to 5b62 but it didn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jccool Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 hello, i have tried the patch and it said done 2 matches so i assumed it installed, my id is 5d52 but i only have black screen, is there another step i must do? thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quixos Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 ati x800gt pcie with id 554b, doesn't work, (for me) while checking out devices id's however, i saw (in windows) that the secondary device had a different id, 556b. perhaps this general information might be used in your patch to detect secondary displays?

Sorry, here is the fixed patch. Everyone should try whose device id is below 5b60 and the previous not OK. Cheers, Gabor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjtd Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Greets. X800GTO does not work with the first patch. I get that multilanguage screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quixos Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 ati x800gt working. i didn't know anything could please me so much! even with those graphical things i've been hearing about. thanks! don't know if it's much better than gma900 as far as speed goes, but not having to switch video connections when booting to windows is a big deal. guess lots of tweaking ahead.

labria Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Is there any chance this patch would allow changing resolutions and (the main thing) the refresh rate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjtd Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Quixos, what patch did you tried? Is your card a 480 or a 430 chipset? What kind of error did you get first time you tried the patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jccool Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 hello, i have been trying so hard to get it to work. i have tried 0.2 patch but still no luck, what could i be doing wrong, i dont get a black screen now, i get a frozen spining thing with no mouse. can someone please help, i have x850xt 0x5d52 1002 thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quixos Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 rjtd, my x800gt has a r423 chip! don't know how upset to be about this now. used his second patch, koverg-patch9700-v0.2. edit: from Anandtech, "There is absolutely no architectural difference between these new chips and the original R423 on which they are based." so i'll not be too pissed as i'm not going to overclock. but if i'd known... grrrr.

autoy Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 No luck here with the second patch - x700 mobility (ID: 5653) I still get a blank screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gugius Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Just for the sake of interest I tried this one on Radeon 9000 AGP card. Unloaded the active ATIRadeon8500.kext and loaded patched ATIRadeon9700.kext. And what happened was just what I expected - the screen froze up So I guess I'll have to stick with that crapy ATIRadeon8500.kext in VESA... I wonder would this work on a Radeon 9600 (and up) AGP card or is this PCI-E only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syldaril Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Thanks a million Koverg I am happy to report yet another success! Using koverg-patch9700-v0.2 OSX 10.4.3 ATI Radeon x300 Mobility (device ID 0x5460) patched ATIRadeon9700.kext (10.4.3) Now CI and QE are both supported!!! However I only see one available resolution in the monitor control panel (1600x1200x32) and System Profiler still reports my GPU as a 'VGA-Compatible Controller'... but I don't care! CI and QE both wooork Thanks Korverg Syldaril. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canglan Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 It works with my X300 on Thinkpad T43! However, the X300 on my laptop has only 64MB RAM but it reports as VRAM(Total) 128MB, is this normal? Also, I'd like to know how to fix the mouse problem. Thanks heaps koverg! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
