tomnic Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Hi everbody in there... I've successfully installed Mac Os x 10.4.5 into the second partition of my Asus A2S notebook (10.4.4/5 Myz*r patched)... installer was fine, but every time I boot in normal mode, perhaps due to a wrong loaded video kext, the screen goes totally black, and system apparently hangs (even if the hdd works for a while). If I delete all the ati kext and I boot in normal mode or if I boot in safe mode (-x at darwin prompt) everything works fine (vesa 2.0 mode), but I have a desktop which has "double the lenght", so if I drag the mouse from left to right the pointer reappears from the left 2 times, this problem doesn't show during install, so I think that during install Mac OS loads the right kext. My notebook has an ATI m10 (Ati mobility radeon 9600 64mb vram), which, it is said, is supported since mac os 10.4.3. Can you find a workaround for this? Please help me, I'd like to have full accelerated video!

tomnic Posted March 11, 2006 Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 What does the Display Preference pane shows? In safe mode, when I go to System profiler, Graphics/Displays, I see 2 entries: The first entry ----------------------------------------------------- Display, VGA-Compatible Controller PCI Bus PCI, Vram (total) 128 Mb Vendor ATI (0x1002) Device ID: (0x4e50) Revision ID: 0x0000 Kernel Extension Info: No kext Loaded Display: Resolution: 1024 x 768 Depth: 32 bit color Core Image: Not supported Main display: yes Mirror: Off Online: yes Quartz Extreme: Not supported The second entry --------------------------------------- Display, VGA-Compatible Controller PCI Bus: PCI Slot: AGP Vram (total) 128 Mb Vendor ATI (0x1002) Device ID: (0x4e50) Revision ID: 0x0000 Kernel Extension Info: No kext Loaded Display: Resolution: 1024 x 768 Depth: 32 bit color Core Image: Not supported Mirror: Off Online: yes Quartz Extreme: Not supported Update: in the Display Preferences I can turn on mirroring... the "extended desktop" effect stops showing but my pointer leave its traces everywhere, painfull to see... which ati kext should I load? It looks like my display uses itself as an extended view... I'm a bit confused please help me!

macgirl Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Search on those threads of ATI tearing, maybe they have a better clue. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/11706-mac-os-1045-on-asus-a2s/#findComment-73742 Share on other sites More sharing options...
