Callisto Technical Discussion

[royler_g]

Can anyone post a copy of their info.plist in Build 6 of callisto.kext/contents ???

I'm a bit unsure whether I've put my EDID numbers in correctly. I couldn't use Property List Editor as it says in Omni's installation notes, because I don't have it!

As a replacement for Property List Editor you can use PlistEdit Pro.

 

Info.plist from Callisto.kext 006 (unedited!!!)

You must use Property List Editor or PlistEdit Pro. Edit with TextEdit will not do!

[royler_g]

I actually dl:ed PlistEdit pro, but I got an error message when I tried to unpack it, so I removed it. Can't I use an editor like nano to edit that plist file like all other plist files? And sorry if I was unclear, but I would like to see a modified info.plist with HEXEDIDVALUE pasted into it to see how I should enter mine (since I've got no Plist editor ). I have an LCD monitor so I changed MONITOR_TYPE,EDID to DFP,EDID, but I'm unsure of the format in which to enter the EDID code...

the Property List editor will encode the EDID base (to hex I believe) when you paste it in - a text editor will not do that.

therefore only the Property List editor can be used to do this edit.

 

The plist editor is installed into the Utilities folder by default - it is a default part of the X-Code install. Try a spotlight search. (or if you don't have xcode - install it).

Fixed B003 works great with my Xpress 200.. Works well after every boot..

u have QE & CI and Open GL on xpress200?

Hi, I have a Radeon Mobility 7500 32MB and Build 006 recognizes my card, has res change support, but when I change to a different res, it doesn't change but rather fills the whole screen with white. It gradually fills it up like a fade to black (though a fade to white instead) which is really wierd. Anyways, Build 005 worked perfectly and I was wondering if someone could e-mail it to me. My e-mail address is blackknight_i30@bellsouth.net.

 

Thanks in advance.

Actually by default it's in /Developer/Utilities, not /Applications/Utilities, assuming that's what you meant.

I have Radeon VE 7000 AGP (0x10025159) and 006 does not work?

 

 

Could someone please send me the 04 and the 05 release to: frankblid@yahoo.com?

 

Thanx!

Any news about the new driver?

[belgrano]

p-J16 see on omni's site...

 

fidelue you've got mail.

[pauℓzurrr.]

ok but i cant get on the forum anymore because i got banned for sending older drivers =(

[belgrano]

That being the case, no news. 006 is the latest build.

Anyway you can see here.

x300 (5460) and *revamped* b003 works perfect with koverg!

 

THANKS OMNI!

Hey Guys !

I installed the Omni driver successfully, but when the computer has reloaded the drivers. Screen resolution is 1440x900 and everything is OK but sometimes there is an error of screen who appars quickly and disappears (like a flash).

I don't know how to fix this problem... And mouse problem is not fixed.

I enabled QE.

I use the 006 build.

Thanks for help...

THANK YOU VERY MUCH OMNI.

I don't have Plist Editor on my machine, so I downloaded Xcode 2.3 from Apple. But I got an error trying to install it! And I downloaded PlistEdit Pro from http://homepage.mac.com/bwebster/plisteditpro.html, but when I mounted the .dmg file it reported a checksum error (or something). When I bypassed it, the file was corrupted .

 

Can anyone please mail me either Plist Editor (unpacked .app found in root:developer/utilities) or PlistEdit Pro (unpacked also)?

The address is: royler_g@yahoo.se

I hope this request is allowed, seeing they're both free/shareware...

 

I need it desperately to put in my EDID settings for Omni's alpha 006! Till then I'm stuck at low res!!

 

Thanks!!

Hey osxgus, you mentioned having your x300 working properly with the koverg patch applied.. I have the same ID device (5460) its technically a FireGL v3100 card in my Dell Precision M20, but yeah anyway..

Im just wondering how well your device works. Mine works with omni's driver but I dont switch over to CallistoFB (essentially disabling QE/CI) because of horrible glitching.. Just wondering if you have this too? Like when dragging windows the contents go horribly garbed, and when scrolling with mouse, and a few other random situations..

[royler_g]

(Re: my previous post, I just got a hand of Plist Editor on another thread, thanks everyone)

[Phusho]

philgeek you can search the forum for mouse tearing problems it is all over use search function of the forum !

hi phil,

 

i had a similar problem with the first release of the driver but in 1400x1050, but this was solved since initial release of b003, and the revamped version of b003 works perfect on mine..

 

are you running in native (highest) resolution? do all resolutions show correctly on your machine?

 

let me know and maybe we can work it out!

 

cheers!

osxG

[philgeek]

Well yes i do have all resolutions, refresh rates and colors (millions, thousands) listed all the way up to 1400x1050 which is what im running now. The artifacts were reasonable in b003, i tried 006 and changing resolutions totally screwed my display

With 006, however, if i left the resolution at 1024 i had QE/CI with minimal artifacting. Now i have 003 revamped running at native 1400x1050 with QE/CI disabled (but opengl still works, see koverg patch)..

I dont know what to think.. And we have the same DevID, go figure..

[Leo Viana]

After some trouble installing the driver build version 3, tried with the new build 6 and everything works fine, but the tearing remains, but nothing that I can't go with.
