Updated all files from the 10.4.6 Combo Update to my extensions folder (ATI, IOPCI, IO2..kext files). Modified them by Boris Method. Result : Booting with graphical artifacts.

I've replaced the ATINDRV.kext with the 10.4.4 version. Result: Everything ok, no artifacts, BUT : Still no fuc..ng DVI output :D

Cyclonefr, you dont have a DVI lcd dont you? the diffrence is absolute when you run an lcd screen by vga vs dvi.

 

my OSX install is JAS 10.4.6 no upgrades, fresh install, my test platform is 10.4.6 jas too, and have exactly the same results.

 

Right now after updating Quake 4 itself, i can run it PERFECTLY and very smooth

Well well, the ATINDRV-driver seems to work fine on X1900-series. As long as I don't try to get CI/QE or any hardware opengl-support as it seem like there's simply no support for any other hardware acceleration than that on X1600-series of cards which makes perfect sence.

I can change videomodes native and get basic cloning if I connect two monitors through VGA (with adapters).

I'm a bit curious to why X1800-cards would work since they too are a bit different hardware-wise than X1600-series.... guess chances for us to find that out is more than just slim :)

Hey guys,

 

I've been following this topic since about page 2 and just the other day decided to finally upgrade my X850 XT to an x1800 XL because of this topic. Since my device ID was already in X1000.kext, I didn't have to add it, but I did do the other things listed in the instructions and now I have my card recognized, QE, Q2DE, CI, and OpenGL supported, but no res change and tearing. My guess is that ATINDRV.kext is not loading (since it doesn't show up under ioreg nor system profiler). My question is what might be causing this.

 

My install is a Myzar 10.4.4/10.4.5 patched DVD. I did have Callisto 006 installed, but I have since removed anything related to it so as to try to start from scratch. Thanks in advance.

this bug is a known bug with 10.4.6 , install MYZAR 10.4.5 it will work, let us know

 

To aberacus, yes i have another computer with a DVI support, i cant see any difference!

hola boys,

i'm pretty sure it doesn't matter if someone can see the difference between DVI and VGA or not...

infact there are some users with DVI and the DVI not working issue is the biggest pain for laptopusers since the laptopdisplay is not recognized at all too :)

 

btw: i did a fresh 10.4.6 install and did everything as described by aberracus but no DVI at all, so whats the difference??????

Sorry, my fault. I was to tired and had missed to update my sign. I'm ofcourse using Myzar 10.4.5 since opengl framework is broken in Jas 10.4.6 and no, it makes absolutely no difference.... major kernelcrash if I even get one centimeter from loading anything more than the ATINDRV framebuffer-driver.

Im sure the difference between lcd thru dvi or vga cable is offtopic, but cyclonefr maybe your other monitor conects thru dvi but using analog signal, upgrade to abetter monitor or something ;), theres really a big difference. in sharpness and iamge stability, but who knows i am a 3D designer so maybe the differences ares only for the trainned eye, All things being equal I would always choose DVI over VGA. It removes the unnecessary digital to analogue to digital conversion. LCD monitors do not have a refresh rate as such (they don't scan top to bottom like a CRT). What you will get with DVI is pixel perfect precision without any adjustment and it won't drift over time (as I have seen happen on some VGA connections). AS you can see from this link, there are people which cant note any difference and others including myself wich notes it at first sight. The last week i installed a system for a Stock trader with 5 monitors, LCD all of them but only 2 of them running in DVI, he is 65 years old an noted the difference instantly without me saying anything (the lcds where a mix of Sonys and Benqs, all 19"). Sorry for going away of the main discussion but i have read Cyclone 3 times or more saying thers no difference betwen dvi and vga, and i think is VERY importatn to have DVI output in our hackintoses.

Sherif, i have posteed my kexts some pages up in this boris hack, your are exactly lik mine? wich brand is your ati card? (mine is an asus silent series)

 

Pitr, is it broken in jas 10.4.6 ? iam using it fresh install.. and all runs perfectly except the second screen.

PITR, i got openGL (not in vesa) with jas 10.4.6 DVD, i just seconds ago run quake 3, without any problem or artifact 90 FPS running azereus and a bunch of other things, isnt bad.

 

About two monitor support, when i have two monitors connected (one dvi other CRT) and i start a full opengl app (liek a game) the video switches to the CRT screen, maybe its a tip of whats happening i dunno, anyway now i have disconnected the crt screen

 

 

Regards

well guys i think this whole thing is working for u cause u r using the ATINDRV from 10.4.5 in JAS 10.4.6

in case we can check : just let me know which version is it by second clicking on ATINDRV:) i'll compare with mine, cause using ATINDRV 10.4.5 + all 10.4.6 ATI kexts and OPENGL works fine for me

Ive been reading posts here for a bit and everyone seems to have some troubles

, I have sapphire x1600 xt pcie (256 meg) Id= 71c0 and i used borisbadenov method with jas 10.4.6 dvd havent modified a thing except what borisbadenov posted thats all and it works for me %110

 

well done borisbadenov m8 your a genuis

 

pm me if anyone would like my modded kexts

 

what i mean by %110 is thats it works just the same as gma 900 absolutely perfect

What's about your dvi-output ? Does it work ?

So I went ahead and installed 10.4.6 using Myzar's V3 update and now my card is detected, but not as 0x71091002 like it should, but rather 0x5a341002. I don't know where it is getting this dev ID from, but if I remove ATINDRV.kext and boot in safe mode, it detects it as 7109. As soon as I add ATINDRV.kext, it changes the dev ID. I checked IOPCIFamily.kext and as far as I can tell, it wasn't updated to 10.4.6, though I do have the autologin problem. By the way, I also do not have QE, CI, GL anymore.
