Callisto Technical Discussion

[cyclonefr]

yeah the best version ever ! no need to buy X1600 dont u think so?

the only last thing is the tearing but no matter since the mouse doesnt scramble anymore after exiting apps!

[flow]

My Dell Inspiron with a X300 is also working well. thanks Omni!

 

one question, for the QE/ci we modified the 9700.kext. but how do we so sure it is 9700, not others?

 

hmmmm

[TribesMan]

005 works like a charm on IBM T42... R9600 64MB 1400*1050... Thank you very much omni.

[pauℓzurrr.]

B005 Doesnt works here on 9100, It boots but when i change the reso i gives me a black screen.

[moseschrist]

just as usual, b005 works great (ever since b002), on my mobile 7500, IBM t42 2373-DC.

keep up the great work.

[Peter Gammelgaard]

005 doesn't work for me on my xpress 200... I get a screen out of sync.. The only version that works for me is 003...

[TapaH]

005 works fine for 9000 mobility. Now without any problems even after reboot! No more need for editing *boot.plist

[iTux]

I do it @__@/~ I install once Callisto 5 alpha i had normal work without some error ~\@___@

[denisvj]

Omni works great at 1280 but at 1400x1050 but my windows when are moved get strange lines ,

i have a thinkpad t42 with 9600, switch resolutions is working fine and I have QE/CI enable with less mouse tearing .

Callisto 005 is working for me too, only that although I use a CRT monitor on VGA output is detected as LCD and I can see only 3 resolutions. But on DVI (with DVI-to-VGA adapter) it's almost perfect.

omni great job!

 

...

MouseLocator, with MouseLocator-ShadowMouse.png for superior tearing control.

quixos thanks buddy! I used Mousepose, I didn't know MouseLocator is so good!

 

Now I have shadow for my mouse too.

[flibblesan]

Great work, Omni! Latest callisto working here with an ATI 9550 128mb AGP. I used MouseLocator to keep the tearing down, and it's hardly noticable. But damn - QE & CI enabled is the win!

I'm getting a 100% success rate when booting into OS X with a 1680x1050 resolution. Very very nice!

 

Is there a script to appy the 1680x1050 res at the actual boot screen, instead of after logging in?

I edited IONDRVSupport and replaced "IONDRVFrambuffer" with "CallistoFB" in Info.plist (3 places). That did it for me, no more loggin!

Which 3 places? There is only one place, in one file, in /System/Library/Extensions, a file called ATIRadeonXXXXGA.plugin (well XXXX is 8500, 9700 or X1000, depending on your video card).

[zelda]

006 does not work for me either, still a black screen (radeon 9000, dev id:5835)

I had the same prob as urs, did u have the s-video cable connecting? Pull it off and try ur VGA.

I think he's referring to IONDRVSupport.kext

Didn't work for me. I'm still booting into 1024x768. The resolution only changes to 1680x1050 after I log in. Here's part of what my plist now looks like:

006 works for me. Success. Thanks a lot omni!

[Peter Gammelgaard]

006 does not work for me either... I get a black screen when I change res with my Xpress 200..

[eRixx]

9100 IGP (U3) dev. 5835: black screen on resolution change with latest version (006).

 

Anyone knows how i can reset the resolution from single user mode? :-)

[belgrano]

eRixx boot with -s

Then type:

fsck -fy

mount -uw /

rm -f /Library/Preferences/com.apple.window*

rm -f ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.window*

rm -f ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.pref*

reboot

On the next boot you will have 1024x768.

[Phusho]
