blinksilver Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Hycel, what do you mean "hard reboot"? My mobility 9600 (64mb) got distorted noises at 1280x800. It doesn't work even serverl reboots. anyone know of a way to edit the detected display setting, i think the only problem i have is my pixel clock is off.

Takuro Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 "Hard reboot" means holding down the power button until the system turns off, or it could mean cutting the power to the computer to turn it off. Many refer to it as "shutting down the wrong way" because it can cause problems due to that fact that the system is being forced to shut down without going through proper shutdown procedures. I'm going to try the Alpha 002 driver again. I have nothing to loose. I can easily remove via darwin if worst comes to worst. The ATi drivers from January are from 10.4.5, no? I think anybody with a Myzar 10.4.6 update has the new ATi kexts placed in a folder labeled "Extensions_Disabled_10.4.6." I'm going to try running the 002 alpha driver with the Radeon 9700.kext purposely disabled. I have a weird feeling I'll see a big difference.

belgrano Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Permission to say f*** on osx86project.org Look what I did... rm -R /System/Library/Extensions* And I was trying to remove the kextcache files... You can only guess what happened :> Nice one! Well, it's spring after all, and with that the spring cleaning is coming... Again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HyceL 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... mine is a 14" . I can get resolution all the way up to 1400x1050 on it.. i used the alpha 002 driver.. With the 001 build i had no luck at all. NOw it works great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikk Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Hi Guys... i asked for a script which change the resolution at startup, because some people have isues at startup windowserver. after a resolution change screens will be fine. so i find a interested thing... open script editor: do shell script "path/to/cscreen -x 1024 -y 768" and save as running script, then put in your user startupitems (use control panel---user) download cscreen here: http://www.pyehouse.com/lynn/cscreen.dmg for me it work on this way: i need 2 scripts the first load: do shell script "path/to/cscreen -x 1024 -y 768" and then my native resolution: do shell script "path/to/cscreen -x 1680 -y 1050" hope it helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogabean Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 It prolly best to type rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache so you don't make that mistake. personally I always find just booting up the next time with -f works just fine. I've never HAD to remove the mkext and kextcache when modifying kexts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbunder Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I'm just gonna hang around and wait for either a definitive fix for our collective problems or v3. No rush. The machine I'm running it on is a play machine, not a work machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kday Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Ok, something really weird just happened. I was in Windows, did a reboot, and I rebooted back to Windows. When I got to Windows, the screen became all distorted like it does when I try to set OS X to 1280x800. I rebooted again, and all is well. I am really confused. How can that happen? //ATI Mobility 9600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually just closing and opening the lid would fix the problem, or if necessary a reboot. But it rarely happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tendycq Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 what a long thread! U english speaker cant imagine how i read it......... feels like in the hell why not divide the thread into small ones for example, for QE/CI discussion for res discussion for wide screen discussion for 9x00 cards for x x00 cards for mobility.... for "how to use" discussion ?

cyclonefr Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 ERikk i would be interested to know if ur workaround adding script really work, cause when u play a game it reask to change the res so i dont see how ur script can reapply the change of resolution? Anyway as i told here JaS has a working release, so does omni. Im waiting for omni's answer to publish it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiburon Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 the driver would be perfect if i could use 1280x800, no matter how many reboots/resolution changes, it results in a garbled screen. Radeon Mobility 9550 (4e50) Widescreen LCD (Builtin) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im waiting for omni's answer to publish it. good morning... i try to explain my issue with callisto: the driver works well and i can change nearly all resolutions, but at startup after logon-window most time the screen is shown not correct, mostly i have timing errors. every time after startup i have to change the resolution to another working one, and then resolution change works well. i can switch via control panel without errors. but on restart same error again. my idea was a script, that do the same as me every start, switch back to a working resolution and then back to my native working resolution. the script working fine at me, and you can still play games or watch itunes visualization... in my case after running the script all resolution change in running system works great.... but how i say, only at startup (the first switch) get me bad screens. sorry for my english Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U r wrong, this problem not only appear at startup, u'll have it once more if u run either a game that change resolution, or a slideshow under powerpoint,/keynote that change resolution also... So having this kind of workaround is not for me a good thing. I suggest u to wait for omni's solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclonefr Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 lol, btw ive never said the driver doesnt work at all, just said no use to figure out on manual how to install it as this guys seemed to be a noob, and he will crash his system having the white screen + blue stripe so tha'ts no a good idea to try it when u dont have a minimum knowledge of the consequences.
