No luck for me either :( My laptop has an x1400. I tried replacing the device ids with the ones reported in Windows XP but no luck. I dont get kernel panics, but after loading the extensions the framebuffered screen turns to small thin lines and the screen turns off. Apparently unsupported settings. Wish someone comes up with a solution.

 

wot make is ur laptop and model number and wot did u do that u didnt got a kernal panic??

Ok, just got done applying the solution.

 

Attempted to boot with nothing but DVI (VGA disconnected); I got no video signal.

Reconnected VGA and left DVI connected; no signal on either one.

Disconnected DVI and left VGA connected; we get signal!

 

The syetem booted normally, but it sent me a message saying my AppleAzalia driver failed to load due to improper installation. Sent me the same message about my XboX360Controller driver. I think I can fix this.

 

I really do hope someone can find a way to get DVI working. Having to unplug cables every time I boot into OSX is going to be quite a hassle.

 

Anyways, thank you borisbadenov!

Ok Erikk from Germany ot his x1600xt working perfectly, with QE CI rotation and TWO monitors working side by side.....

 

look this post

 

http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?sh...54entry118954

 

as you see there is under PCI cards in the System profiler another pci card detected in my case:

 

display:

 

Type: VGA-Compatible Controller

Bus: PCI

Slot: PCIE X16 SLOT

Vendor ID: 0x1002

Device ID: 0x71c0

Subsystem Vendor ID: 0x1043

Subsystem ID: 0x0130

Revision ID: 0x0000

 

display:

 

Type: Other Display Controller

Bus: PCI

Slot: PCIE X16 SLOT

Vendor ID: 0x1002

Device ID: 0x71e0

Subsystem Vendor ID: 0x1043

Subsystem ID: 0x0131

Revision ID: 0x0000

 

So, how do we hack our ATI drivers to get this "second PCIE Card" to work? thats the answer for two monitors under boris hack.. that will be awesome!!!

 

Cheers!!

 

BTW i tried modifyng the info.plist of ATIRADEONx1000.KEXT and the computer hangs on start....

 

Any genius got any idea?

Well, I tried it, but still no video through DVI. But at least it seems that I can leave the DVI cable plugged in now. Oh well, thanks anyways.

 

By the way, VGA does give me all available resolutions. Currently running at 1280x720.

 

Edit : Interesting. I just noticed that the modification protools suggested disabled CI/QE. They were working with borisbadenov's mod.

lol, so about my idea with the 9XXX kext into X1000 (and renaming them before)....

let me know!

It's a bad ideea. :graduated: Don't try this at home...

All I can see now is some vertical black and white lines on my screen.

 

 

Now I could use some help to restore my kexts.... How can I move some kexts from a folder from my desktop to /System/Library/Extensions/ in single user mode?

Belgrano,

just delete the broken kexts and it will boot again, then you'll replace your kexts from the GUI.

 

If you really want to do it (replace with what you need) :

rm -R /system/library/extensions/xxxxx.kext (you need to remove it before since it's write protected)

mv /sourcepath/ /system/library/extensions/

don't forget to repair permissions (chown and chmod)

Woohooow! Its works :thumbsdown_anim:

 

Problems in .6, but working perfectly in .5. Both maximum resolution and frequency are detected and changeable. System runs somewhat smoother, artefact are gone and the mousepointer has a shadow.

 

Asus ATI Radeon X1600Pro 256MB

 

Big hug for you, Boris!

It is a bad ideea as in "useless". The original ideea (cyclonefr's ideea) was refering to 9xxx video cards. Unfortunatelly I removed all ATI kexts from Extensions folder so now I see only black and white stripes.

I had some issues regarding the /sourcepath/ but I found my way. OK, case solved. Thank you!

I don't know if you found the way to restore your install, but I'll post anyway since I already saw a few post like yours, may help others, well..

 

1 - Boot from your OSX Install DVD, at the Darwin install prompt press F8 when asked

2 - Type rd=disk0s1 -s (may change depending on your partition installation);

 

This will boot your 'installed' osx with the kext from the DVD, in safe mode.

 

Hope this helps :P

I'm using Myzar's 10.4.4/5.

 

I have an abit IC7 with an AGP x1600 pro 256MB.

 

I edited ATIRadeonX100.kext/Contents/info.plist with my device ID andd I edited ATINDRV.kext/contents/info.plist with 

			<key>IOMatchCategory</key>
		<string>IONDRVFramebuffer</string>
		<key>IONameMatch</key>
		<string>display</string>
		<key>IOProviderClass</key>
		<string>IOPCIDevice</string>

Everthing works great. Full graphics support, shadow under the mouse, no tearing color calibration, etc.

 

I didn't touch ATIRadeonX1000GA.plugin. I remember a discussion about editing ATIRadeon9700.kext/Contents/info.plist with your hardware ID (the same way borisbadenov described in this thread) in order to prevent mouse tearing. It worked but it screwed up core image (dashoard effects didn't render). if you edited your atiradeonx100ga.plugin's info.plist, please check dashboard to see if those fancy effects (partiularly if the widgets "spin" when you click the "i" in the lower right corner) are enabled. i'd like to know if this mod does the same thing.

1.Well, maybe is stupid, but - I have using Boris solution some video-modes and refresh rates listed that I am shure that are not supported by my monitor. Any advice how to remove that stuff ???

 

2. The threat are become quite large - can someone post this solution as a tutorial on Wiki ? It will be quite nice
