Fwiw, my X1800XL PCI-E with boris method applied supports monitor sleep (and wake!) on my Iiyama VisionMaster Pro 452, conneced via DVI-VGA adapter.

 

Now, I have a question. What about System Sleep? Is the framebuffer driver critical to this process? Right now, when I do sleep, the video powers down, the monitor sleeps etc, but the machine is still running. The same machine DID sleep correctly under 10.4.4 when I was running my GMA950.

monitor sleep doesnt work for me, and i get the same probleme running System sleep, everything seems to slow down but i cant resume :graduated:

does it works using direct VGA? and r u still running 10.4.5 MYZAR? without IONDRVFb but like regular version IOFb? thanx for the info, i would love having monitor sleep

It may be a good start to compare output of kextstat between people who have working setups and people who don't, so we can see what is loaded and what versions. Aberracus, I would appreciate seeings yours, as your system seems to be working well. Here is mine, and my sig has the current hardware:kextstat.txt

 

Working: Resolution change, monitor name recognized, CI/QE on.

Not working: Artifacts (like corrupted memory from overclock), crashes (especially when scrolling), No energy saving for monitor. Only VGA through DVI>VGA dongle. Also odd drawing artifacts when playing chess (sort of like some polys are black and flickering while moving pieces).

 

This is on fresh Jas 10.4.6 install with instructions followed as borisbadenov prescribed.

My setup:

 

D945GTPLR board, GeCube X1800XL PCI-E, Pentium D920

 

10.4.5 Myzar clean install, Quixos manual 10.4.6 update.

 

Applied boris patch exactly as he described (ie didnt change the line to support dual monitors or anything).

 

Result: Full res changing, QE, CI, OpenGL, zero artefacts, monitor will sleep.

Lol... no way jose. This was my final ultimate upgrade before Fatherhood happened (thus i'll never be able to upgrade ever again - too busy buying nappies etc).

 

I wanted a fully-supported killer Aperture machine, and now (finally!) i'm getting to the closing stages of having the thing totally 100% sweet. Last remaining hurdles are FireWire (it doesnt see my powerbook when i hook it up) and system sleep (im hoping that the AppleACPIPlatform.kext from 10.4.3 or 10.4.4 might help here - going to try tonight). If anyone has any wisdom to share on these two issues, give me a PM!

 

Btw Aperture runs SO MUCH SWEETER on this box than on my powerbook its just stupid.

Ijust wanted to confirm that I got it working with Powercolor Radeon X1800GTO. No mouse tearing. Mouse has shadow. And can choose lots of resolutions. QE, CI works. No artifacts, but I have not tested OpenGL. Clean install with JaS 10.4.6, applied boris fix (altough did not delete any files), and copied binary in ATINDRV/MacOS from 10.4.5 (downloaded from apple site). (ATINDRV from 10.4.6 file goes black and 10.4.4 gives artifacts as noted by lots of people)

Yeah, its been pointed out to me that the reason I had no success with JaS 10.4.6 disk, and yet had success with Myzar 10.4.5 + Quixos 10.4.6 is that Quixos' 10.4.6 update does not update ATINDRV, so i'm actually using the 10.4.5 kexts.

Pitr did, but had limited success, afaik:

edit: my x1800 refused to work with anything other than the 10.4.5 kexts - 10.4.4 gave uberartefacts, and 10.4.6 gave blackscreen of doom :) give the myzar 10.4.5 disc a whirl - you might have more luck.

yes so munky u join me that ONLY the 10.4.5 kexts works :)

but u can use ATIX100*.* kext and OPENGL.Frk of 10.4.6 u only need ATINDRV 10.4.5

enjoy ! that's what i did...im sure this is just due to the lack of kernel but the thing is so weird = we need 10.4.5 and we use 10.4.4 kernel lol

 

ps: ur having monitor sleep since 10.4.5 myzar or Quixos's update? in this case it might be a Framework and i'd like to know which one ;)

cyclonefr, have you been able to completely resolve video problems at this point with a mix of 10.4.5 and 10.4.6, except for monitor going to sleep? Can you post the output of your kextstat here?

Ok here are my Kexts.

 

Note for those few who doesnt know how to see or edit their kexts, they are in System/Extensions, righ mouse button over the kext, SHOW PACKAGE CONTENTS, look inside for INFO. PLIST, this is the file we need to edit, to edit it, you need to copy the info.plist to your desktop then edit it and afterwards you can drop (with authenticate -u will se it when you try to drop it) back into the Package content replacing the original (i recommend making a copy of the kext first for security reasons).

i havent made any other change.. iam no to sure if i had make any change in teh plugin, i have only done what boris told, or wrote :), and the thingie for two monitors.

 

 

i hope this helps my hadrware is in my signature. I have 0 artifacts, Mouse works perfect, with shadow and no tearing, no crashes, QE, CI, Q2DE. and games like Quake 4 and Quake 3 working perfectly 0 glitches.

 

havent tested sleep but i will.

 

Regards

Ok here are my Kexts.

 

Can you post the output of kextstat command, I'd like to see what versions of kexts you have loaded. Our systems are very similar, same chipset, different audio, and you have ASUS x1600XT and I have PowerColor x1600Pro. I just got my card and I'm tempted to return it and get that ASUS and see if it fixes things.

Yes u could be right there m8 ,,,, My Xt works absolutly perfect just like gma does

 

What if... Apple's driver changes memory frequency on the video card for some reason (who knows why, maybe to correct a bug in an early batch of notebooks), and jacking up memory frequency of our Pro cards is giving them artifacts and making them unstable? That wouldn't explain why DVI works for some or not, but that could be due to implementation of other hardware on different cards. Those artifacts that I see when card is under any stress (and a crash soonafter) are exactly what happens when you overclock too much, and I've seen a lot of buggy drivers, and that alone never produced artifacts like that. Just a theory...

Tush, can u just launch a game? which version of 10.4.6 r u running? did u check the ATINDRV version? this whole thing has no sense

 

 

I just tried call of duty, runs without any problem.My osx version is 10.4.5 myzar, +10.4.6 upgrade(not the official, but v3)+samba fix.

But just to check out, I extracted the original 10.4.6 ATINDRV.kext from the OFFICIAL 10.4.6 update, and copied over.So my ATINDRV now is exactly what aberracus has.(<string>ATINDRV 1.4.26.11 (1.0f204)</string>)

Which version of Sapphire x1600 Pro do you have? With what kind of memory? according to their page, it comes with DDR2 and DDR3.
