vlad1966 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 It will be interesting to see when the new Mac Pros come out what will be the high-end option - GTX280 or HD4870. Hopefully that will be before end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netkas Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 looked today a lot into ati framebuffers(lamna/mega) and radeonhd linux driver, and figured out there is clearly no support for rv770 on osx yet. it was about framebuffer(resolution change). but, 3d/opengl/qe/ci works(dont ask me how i got to this conslusion) , it just needs working framebuffer to display smth else than garbaged screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synaesthesia Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 What I'm curious about, is, can we get the new nVidia chipset based Intel motherboards working in OS X? They are the same as the ones used in the new Macbooks. ATI 4850/4870 support will come eventually, maybe in November when Apple release the new Mac Pros.

TONETIME Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 hi, any chance for Mobility Hd 3650 working with these new kexts etc. There are alot of mobilities out there, with no love:( ....haha...don't mean to be so dramatic. But with a few amatures presuing and maybe one or two gurus leading ....there might be sucess. crystalzack found mobility device id, in between the kexts. Its here on this post. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=937297 I have tried messing with kexts, combination of natit, last exile and the new update kexts from apple, in safe mode, the gpu is recognized and correctly identified, vram is correct, core image reads ;software - no resolution change, no QE. in normal boot- the is screen garbage...nothing else..but garbage. please netkas, lastexile, jas and other guru...please help us...we really don't know what we are doing...just reading alot and piecing together what ever we can comprehend. please excuse the spelling and grammar. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATI 4850/4870 support will come eventually, maybe in November when Apple release the new Mac Pros. i cant really see apple updating the mac pro until the new i7 platform comes out. i really hope they do update sooner though as i have 2x 4870x2 sitting here giving me a {censored} vesa output.....

netkas Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 difference beetwen rv770 and rv670 in drivers - FrameBuffer Location var for atombios, and a way to detect connections, first thing can be easily solved with binpatch, so i got screen flickersing and blue screen after it, for a short moment, but second cant be solved with binpatching, so, it cant detect any outputs, so waiting for apple to solve this.

Hi netkas, will this apply to the Mobility HD 3650 gpu as well. I have tried efi new kexts , and all i get is blue screen, flickers black and blue continuously. sounds like what you have just mentioend above. Is there any hope for the mobility HD 3650 (RV 635) and other similar series. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaithis Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I was wondering what the chances would be of using drivers from the latest snow leopard build? (if there are any for the 48xx series included) Or will the driver architecture be too different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Massman Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 does anyone here know how these new drivers will affect CI/QE on shared memory cards. am i right in thinking the memory addressing is part of a different kext than acceleration so it should work for older cards too? thanks, marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tros (kaz) Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Very cool. IMO it's only a matter of time until the 48xx series is supported with this information, unlike say, the G45. Mucho gracias for the information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiaboliK Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 just because theres a new range or id in the new kexts has no bearing on if it will work or not. if the proof is in the pudding, where is the screenies of working cards? -D- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
