Working fix for Internal display for Mobile 2600 HD

[hackmymac]

G'day all!!!

 

Nimes and my self have been trailing a combination of files to get the dreaded 2600 mobility working on an internal screen. To my delight, we've managed to get to get it working. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS AN INTERNAL WORKING RES FIX ONLY, no QE/CI

 

So please read ALL of it before passing a comment

 

Check it out below.

 

I would like to say thanks to Nimes for his help. We both recognize that we are not the only ones trying for this fix, so thanks to you all for your help.

 

Please pay homage to those who have written some of the files, such

 

Dong (framebuffer file is the gem), Netkas, and f41qu3 for his BOOT 132 post.

 

The Voodoo team as well since their PS2 package fixes the trackpad and keyboard on toshiba laptops.

 

Please enjoy. These guides are not fool proof, but where getting there. Please post your success and failures, I'll try to look in and help where I can. Some times just dropping in the file just doesn't work.

 

Nimes version of install on a Laptop. Mine was similar, you ca find it here.

This method has been tested for the installation of Vanilla. (Retail MacOSX Leopard 10.5.6)

 

First of all 'hackmymac' and 'ipowertech' many thanks... This tutorial is built upon what they write.

 

USB installation methods. Installation requires:

 

1. A running MacOSX

2. 8 gb USB memory (minimum)

3. 1 CD (boot_132)

4. External USB keyboard

5. Leopard 10.5.6 retail dvd or disc image

6. From the following link to download the CD iso, cd boot-132, and burn. (I choose contains extra kexts)

7. M2600HD_Packs

Let our computer plug usb keyboard. We need its..

First, prepare installation's usb in working macosx.

Applications> Utilities> Disc Utility

 

Lets choose USB. Click Partition button. select 1 partition. Click 'Option' key and pressing the 'GUID Partition' option. USB name and press 'Apply' .

 

we need to transfer Leopard image from CD (or dmg) to USB.

-click 'Usb' on the left side of the Disc Utility.

-Click 'Restore' (right tab)

-Let us choose 'Source' to the original Leopard DVD, 'Destination' section choose the USB.

Uncheck 'erase destination'.

Click'Restore'. This process takes 30 minutes..

 

After we had prepared USB, start installation

 

Insert Boot-132 cd, and boot from its.

-Press 'enter' key when Darwin boot screen (boot: )

-Second screen select cd or harddisk. Here, the corresponding number of us in the media will be a boot being asked to enter. You will need to write 81 or 82. In this way we will have selected USB to boot.

Written against the screen USB name . we write '-v-x' as the boot parameter in this screen. . (-x command will enable us to see graphical desktop).

 

After complete your installation, restart your computer. (Note: ignore error message(if).)

 

** Important ** until we will install Chameleon Bootloader, should open with 'Boot-132' cd

 

** Important ** always unplug Installation's USB ****

 

 

boot from boot-132 cd..

 

**Extract M2600HD_Packs to your desktop. It include 3 folders (package_for_graphics_card, misc_pkgs, tools)**

 

Settings for Graphics Card: (ONLY QUARTZGL, NO CORE IMAGE / QUARTZ EXTREME, We will wait for ci / qe)

 

** Important ** This steps' order is very important during these packages installation.

 

'package_for_graphics_card' folder

1. Install ATI Radeon HD 2600XT AGP 10.5.6 - 10.5.x.pkg package. But do not restart.

2. Install AppleACPCIEC.kext and NATIT.kext with 'kextHelper' in 'tools' folder

 

Note: NATIT.kext is a key kext for graphics card. if you are going to try another drive will definitely need to reinstall this kext.

 

3. Install RadeonDump and RadeonHD.kext in 'RadeonHD' folder with 'kextHelper' .

 

- Reboot with '-s' single user

 

The opening screen are:

/ sbin / mount-uw /

cd / System / Library / Extensions

rm-R ATI *

reboot

 

System is switched on the screen resolution 'System Preferences> Display' you can set up. (1280 x 800)

 

Bootloader Setup and Extra Kexts

 

Install Chameleon-2.0-RC2-let r640.pkg in 'tools' folder . 'customize' section uncheck 'Extra> Kexts' (additional kexts later). However, at this stage not at reset. copy from extra kexts within 'tools' folder to 'Extra > Extentions' installed system disk.

 

Now we can boot from the disc.

 

** ** For QuartzCL

 

run OSX86tools program in 'tools' folder. click 'Enable / DisableQuartzGL' button. Follow the instructions. Reboot.

 

Misc. hardware

 

sound card:

install 'voodoohda.pkg' in 'misc_pkgs' folder

 

Battery:

install battery.pkg' in misc_pkgs' folder '

 

Laptop keyboard:

install 'ps2.pkg' in misc_pkgs' folder

 

** This tutorial was written for the Toshiba Laptop A200 with Ati Radeon Mobility HD 2600. Device ID: 9581 **

 

I hope also ci / qe problems will be solved one day..

 

 

Enjoy!!

First of all... QuartzC means nothing that is why it aint enablet from default.. it gives no boost at all..

 

2. You have done nothing that havent been done allready... You have just gotten bigger screen res.. have been done before.. come back when you have QE/CI enablet.. (Not going to happen tho) So please change the title to Res change on 2600 mobility because that is all you have done... This is NOT a working fix.

Then why hasn't been put out there??

 

I never said this was a QE/CI fix, res fix only. Nimes and I know this. Did you even read the post???????

 

I think not.

 

Come back to me once you've read it.

 

There are people out there stuck at there desks with an external monitor instead of enjoy their hacbooks.

 

If you so good at pointing out our faults, please feel free to come up with a fix all on your own.
