dE.k Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I've just installed OS X 10.4.6 everything went well its all fine (nic works woohoo ) But offcorse like everybody else I can't get over resolution: 1024. I have a x600SE mobility card (device id: 5462), installed Callisto, it all went well except that when I reboot I get an out of range resolution. The troubleshoot of callisto sugested setting CallistoUseAltPLLMethod to true but that didn't help for me. Can someone pls help me! Tnx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix3200 Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Here's a couple of ideas: Checking your boot.plist file thru single user (-s) mode: /sbin/mount -uw / cd /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration nano -w com.apple.Boot.plist Once you're inside the file, delete anything which looks like the following: <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1280x1024x32</string> Ctrl-O to save changes, Ctrl-X to exit. If there was nothing to delete, you might double-check that you deleted the old settings: rm -f /Library/Preferences/com.apple.window* rm -f /Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.window* rm -f /Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.pref* rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache ...and finally.... reboot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sev7en Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Hi dE.k, I have exacly the same graphic chipset: I used Callisto beta3 and it worked fine but I can't get QE/CI at works yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo50t Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I have the same card, QE/CI working just great. A little mouse tearing but MouseLocator fixed that. Here is what I did: First do the Koverg Patch, with the exception of changing the resolution in your com.apple.Boot.plist, I didn't change it there. Then I rebooted and installed Callisto.003fixed patch. Then you have to read his FAQ about two thirds of the way down and follow those instructions for full QE/CI. Mine has been working now for 3 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John0902 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 ... installed Callisto, it all went well except that when I reboot I get an out of range resolution.The troubleshoot of callisto sugested setting CallistoUseAltPLLMethod to true but that didn't help for me. When I "looked for the key CallistoUseAltPLLMethod" in the /System/Library/Extensions/Callisto.kext/Contents/Info.plist, I didn't find that key. If your Info.plist had the key, where in the XML hierarchy does it go? With a Radeon 9600 Pro, I get nothing but out of range the second I change anything in Display (even changing from 1024x768x32 to 1024x768x16. I'd like to try the fix, but I not sure where to stick in the key and string. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcian Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 Could it be that you are using a TFT-Screen? I've had exactly that problem when i tried to only partly use the callisto driver. I just moved the kexts to the right place, deleted the kextcache-files and after a reboot i had that problem with the screen-mode being not right for my TFT-Screen. The screen-mode was something with 89 Hz. Pluggin in my old 19" CRT (heavy stuff to get from the top of my cupboard...) the mac-screen was perfectly visible... One part of the Callisto "manual" explains how to modify some stuff in MacOS to recognize the screen-modes that your monitor will be able to display... After doing that, i had no problem to move on to my flatscreen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After doing that, i had no problem to move on to my flatscreen. Thanks for the pointer. I had initially skipped over the manual setting of the monitor EDID section in the Callisto "manual" because it started with "If your DFP monitor is detect as CRT..." and, while I did have a DFP TFT screen, I was using the analog VGA input for it so I figure this section didn't apply to me. What I ended up doing was connecting to the DFP DVI port with another machine, getting the EDID (which I couldn't seem to get using the VGA port), and manually hard-coding in the EDID to the Callisto.kext Info.plist section (and setting MONITOR_TYPE,EDID to CRT,EDID). Booting up in Verbose mode, I saw Callisto enumerate the correct modes for my monitor (something I hadn't seen before), and when it came up, I was running in my monitor's optimal 1600x1200x32@60! Following the other Callisto guides, I also modified the ATI RadeonXXXXGA.plugin Info.plist, and using Callisto 008, I full have CI/QE at 1600x1200x32@60! Wonderful!

Thelus Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I have an ATI X600 fully working at 1680x150x32@60 with CI/QE fully working on 10.4.8. Installed Callisto 0.8 and modified ATIRadeon9700GA.plugin Info.plist as above to use CallistoFB. Mouse tearing solved with might mouse (instructions on this post). I'm trying to get Dual Display to work... only one DVI working at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference is that I'm connecting to a VGA monitor, can this be the problem? Edited January 29, 2007 by dong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
