+Holraven+ Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I finally managed to get hardware acceleration on a Radon X1550 (0x7143) PCIe x1. I used the MacMan2007's instructions as a baseline, but had to try several times to find the ID that could be changed without messing up the driver code... I'm using iDeneb 1.6 (10.5.8) without display drivers and edited the original ATIRadeonX1000.kext . - Edited info.plist, changed ID 0x71421002 to 0x71431002. - Hexedited the binary and replaced 3 occurrences of "7142" with "7143" and 1 occurrence of "4271" with "4371". - Installed with Kext Helper and VOILA! All is not well, mind you - I have some graphical issues now and then... Update I: Aaaand another thing. I only have 1024x768... I tried changing the ATINDRV.kext, and that messed everything up pretty good. Blue background is all I get, and it starts about an half an inch diagonally from the top left corner. Fun. Would you believe it, I just changed it back! Update II: I also tried the (unneeded) ATIinject.kext described in MacMan2007's post with the same result as the ATINDRV.kext. Suggestions? +H+ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/199616-radeon-x1550-with-ciqe-on-1058/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
super_engine Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 NO NO NO To have fully resolution you must only install the RadeonHD kext from Dong (see the Topic in the ATI Framebuffer Section in this forum). Good job for ATIRadeonX1000.kext. remain only to install RadeonHD.kext Good Luc DANGER!!! RadeonHD works very fine ONLY without injectors.

+Holraven+ Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 NO NO NOTo have fully resolution you must only install the RadeonHD kext from Dong Okay, I tried the 10/28/2009 version for 10.5: panic(cpu 0 caller 0x001AC599): Kernel trap at 0x439b3f35, type 14=page fault (...) Kernel loadable modules in backtrace (with dependencies): com.dong.driver.RadeonHD(1.0.0d1) dependency: com.apple.iokit.IONDRVSupport(1.7.3) dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.6) dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(1.7.3) Sure didn't do the trick for me... +H+ Update 1: RadeonHD.kext with debugMode=true still causes Kernel Panic...

super_engine Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 so now it works for you ??? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/199616-radeon-x1550-with-ciqe-on-1058/#findComment-1349116 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Holraven+ Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 Well, I just had a look at things again. I did a fresh install and hexed the kext again. Turns out you ONLY need to change the single "4271" occurance to "4371" to enable CI/QE, I guess this is the same for other cards as well. I still have a bit of mouse artifacts, though. And I used the Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.boot.plist trick to set up my desired resolution: <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>"Graphics Mode"="1280x1024x32"</string> I also retried the RadeonHD.kext with the newly edited driver, but it still causes kernel panic... +H+ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/199616-radeon-x1550-with-ciqe-on-1058/#findComment-1353668 Share on other sites More sharing options...
