munky Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Tested on my Radeon X1800XL PCI-E. Basically works, but changing resolution causes the blue screen thing (machine has hung - wont respond to pings). Changing refresh rate causes either weirdo split purple screen, or it flashes then comes back ok. System profiler reports the new refresh rate, but the monitor disagrees - its info panel thing shows 60Hz.

JaS Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 ok well it wouldnt keep the rez/refresh so i removed alpha 2 and went back to the original Callisto I have been using Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labria Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I have a big problem with Callisto - the monitor no longer goes to sleep after 15 minutes as it should... And also... I know monitor detection isn't implemented and probably never will be, but is there a way to tell the OS what monitor I have by hand? Like in Windows, "select driver manualy".

cyclonefr Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Also Cyclonefr , Sorry but I can not post any pre release drivers from omni. Jas, thanx for the test, it has been really helpfull. Now to go futher, i would be glad if u can talk to omni and ask him to work on the code of the prerelease or ask him to post it on his blog...it will fix a lot of thing for a bunch of guys here...including me! if u want to mail it to me i would be please to try it on my computer. regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autoy Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 And also... I know monitor detection isn't implemented and probably never will be Where the heck do you get that conclusion from? Do you guys actually read? From Omni's front page: Still no proper monitor detection and as it stands now, I will take a shortcut route and go around it altogether. Also, regarding configuring manually the monitor, I have tried this using displayconfigX but my conclusion is that it won't work due to callisto not reading monitor configuration values properly. Wait for alpha003 or whatever the next release is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm that it happens also with an X1900XT-card so I guess there's still some problems left to iron out in the X1X00-support. But atleast it works fine in 1024x768, keep up the good work Omni I say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex16s Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Is it possible to make an installer app and an unistaller app. Or a script maybe. Two times i'm trying to install the driver and my mac os doesn't want to rebbot correctly... Two times re-installing MacOS in two days for a mac user it's too much. Excuse my english, I'm French!

vince29 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 you don't have to fully reinstall macOS to de-install the kexts. Just reboot in single user mode and do a " mount -uw / rm -R /System/Librairy/Extensions/Callisto* rm /System/Librairy/Extensions.* reboot " and you should be ok...

jonlevine Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I have installed Callisto and it is working perfectly on my Radeon 9600 XT. However, I no longer have QE/CI and would like to enable it. The beginning of this thread mentioned editing the ATIRADEON9700GA.plugin seek to make this happen, but I cannot find this file to do it. I've tried using Spotlight to locate this file, but it returns nothing. Is this file loaded automatically or is this something that I have to install and then edit? If it is something that I have to install, where would I get it from? Any help is appreciated, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quietglow Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Sapphire x1600 xt Driver loads properly and does 1024x768 just fine--no tearing in fact. And switching of resolutions (like to get up to my native 1600x1200) results in blue or black screen (depending on rez). If I put the boot options back in com.apple.Boot, the screen is distorted when it goes from the login to the actual desktop. Close! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tek_No Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Just tested this on my desktop pc with a Radeon 9600 Pro 256MB (same ID as the one omni is using): - after installing the Callisto drivers: switch to 1280x1024 Millions of colors is OK - rebooting results in a non-synchronized desktop - rebooting again is ok again - then altered Radeon9700GA.plugin to use CallistoFB to activate QE and CI and rebooted - this gives me some serious tearing: almost a full horizontal line (or is it a couple of distorted horizontal lines?) is following the mousepointer everywhere - so I went back to my original setup (no Callisto) These distorted horizontal lines were the same as the ones I had in the beginning when I was running Zeta: after changing the pixel clock (to use the correct settings for my adapter) in the driver source and recompiling these horizontal lines went away... So question is: is anybody else having these "lines"? I really wonder if omni has these lines (as he is having the same Radeon ID as I have)... If there was only a way to change the detect program (for the Zeta/BeOS driver it was in detect.c) in omni's driver to use the correct pixel clock I have the feeling a lot of us would be really happy Take care, Tek_No Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elv13 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 oubli ce driver il marche pas. Bien sur qu'il marche, seulement defoit il y a un peut beaucoup d'artéfact... dit pas le driver marche pas, dit dans sont cas le driver marche pas. ______________ traduction: Of course this driver work, only in his case it still buggy.

Takuro Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 ok well it wouldnt keep the rez/refresh so i removed alpha 2 and went back to the original Callisto I have been using Well... at least we have confirmation that in an attempt to support CRT monitors, this driver got a little botched up. *sigh* If the original callisto driver (which was never public) works perfectly for LCD monitors, why not release it? The majority of us don't have CRT anyway. Or at least implement a way of preventing CRT monitors from running an LCD-only driver by locking it down to specific monitor type during hardware detection.

lorant Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 c'est sûr que c'est un peu catégorique comme réponse ;-) for me it's working very well with a X300 PCIe and an apple cinema display 20 " i'm running in 1680x1050x32 with QE and CI actived, that's perfect...

HyceL Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 just installed build 002 on my Thinkpad T42 with ATI Radeo Mobility 9600. Works great! All modes from 640x480 all the way to 1400x1050. After the initial reboot when i switched to 1400x1050 the screen went black and blue.. Hard rebooted the computer and all the modes work now.

moseschrist Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 hycel, what size is your T42 screen ? i can only get to 1024x768 but i suspect that it's my screen's fault and not the driver since in windows i can only get 1024x768 as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
