Hi

try to replace these kexts http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9173457/ATI%20Kexts.zip and of course repair permissions. Let me know how it goes

 

I tried, but still get this "ATIRadeonX3000"

(when i injected device ID = 0x689e1002 in ati5xxx and ati3xxx kexts)

 

Maybe I chose a combination of the worst (ASROCK and ATI-5830).

 

If some thread or GUI ,Youtobe vedio that successfully installed drive about ATI5830.

 

I will study and concern and try not to give up.

 

 

any way

 

thanks very much , likewise and digitalsin

Well you didnt have to inject device ID because the ones i gave you already have Device Id in it (thats why i gave you those )

Can you tell me your Chameleon version ,and which one updata .

(MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.4.dmg , MacOSXUpd10.6.4.dmg )

 

And which boot file(boot 8,9,Uakari ? or new Chameleon version boot)

and show me "com.apple.Boot.plist" or 5830 VRAM---> "1024MB" picture

 

Any way how I test , just get 5830 VRAM 256MB (I try PCIRootUID too)

 

Thanks!

Hello all,

 

I know the topic doesn't have my card in it, but close enough I hope....

 

Quick question - has anyone have a success with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5730?

 

And before you say it, - yes I did see somewhere posted "no mobility support at this time", but one can still hope and research - right?

 

I have yet to go through all frame-buffers (only tried Uakari and Vervet so far) and have yet to confirm that ATY_Init.kext is actually loading - it hasn't occurred to me to check that before, I'm still fairly new at this. Although I did manage to have everything working on my notebook, of of the external USB HDD....

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi digitalsin , I get succeeded!! (Use your kext , and Chameleon 2.0 R516)

When I connect two screens,(VGA adapter & DVI cable), then it work .

If only connect single screen, I get DVI black , VGA is white lines screen.

So connect two screens that also a key point.

Any way , really thank you Digitalsin.

Give me support and advice, let my HIS HD5830 get work on the 64-bit.

 

But another problem

When I only use single screen, I must maintain a persistent connection of two cable on HD5830.

If only connect one cable, I can't successfully boot osx. (DVI is black, VGA is white lines)

Any way to properly support a single monitor mode ?

 

Maybe my system without DSDT, so boot very quickly.

After this , I will try to learn how to make it work better. (on 10.6.4 or 10.6.5)

 

Thanks again Digitalsin.

thats ok, happy to help.....since i'm learning my self.

 

i havent figure out the monitor thing yet but am guessing we need a different framebuffer, i have tried a few but not all.

and hopefully that (framebuffer) will unlock QE/CI aswell.

 

And if you do find out the problem please share it with us

cheers

Ok a lot of talking of 5600 series...what about 5500?

I have HD5550 device id x68da, which I can not get to work.

If I understood you guys correctly, that installing only Aty-init, the card should show in system profile

as ATI 5500 Series?

Mine not.

HIS 512MB HD5670 IceQ Edition Fully Working

 

 

Using VGA port and the "Baboon" Frame Buffer

[FAQBoy]

I was able to get a Sapphire 5670 DVI out working in 32-bit with the following framebuffers: Uakari, Baboon, Vervet, Langur, Galago, Hoolock, Motmot. It does not work with the Eulemur frame buffer.

 

It worked very well once I realized I was using the wrong ATY_Init which didn't have 5600 series included (and that my ramdisk was loading a second (first) copy of the wrong ATY_Init). Once I changed ATY_Init, it worked right away and allowed install of Graphics Update 1.0 without errors.

 

I do have a question though: What is the difference between the framebuffers? I seem to get roughly the same OpenGL score for all. I only need DVI out. Is there any usefulness to picking one over another?

 

Thank you netkas for the ATY_Init.

Zonalis boot will fix that problem but still no QE/CI

[lmart1n]

@digitalsin i've got a 5830, too.

tried your methode aswell, but i've got only one 30" cinema display.

 

Screen turns black...

 

Is there a solution to get the 5830 to work (with 1 monitor)?

uhmm how do you connect the monitor? to the display port? cause if thats the case i cant help much as i dont have one to test. BUT like i said before Zonalis boot works for me with one monitor DVI port

[lmart1n]

it boots, but when it should enter os x, then the screen turns black.

The Cinema Display is connected via DVI-Port!

What does it say when you boot with -v flag

Since the HD5670 has been gotten to work (and apparently the HD5570 as well), now comes the hard one - the HD5450. Like the HD5670 before it, it had this tendency to boot into a garbled screen in 64-bit mode (kexts patched) and unable to boot any other way (without either Kitchen Pitchin or a garbled display). The Kitchen Pitchn is with the Kabyl loader in use and any frame buffer; the garbled display is with my current setup (but with ATIRadeon5000Controller.kext patched, as ATIRadeonX3000.kext did *not* need patching, as the ID, in proper byteswap mode, was already present) andf a standard boot file.

 

I've so far been able to wrestle it into 1600x1200 (in both 10.6.3 and 10.6.4 pre-Graphics Update 1.0) using only Chameleon 2 RC 4 or later using my vanilla DSDT, ATI GPU ROM, and the combo of GraphicsEnabler=Yes and GraphicsMode=1920x1200x32.

 

Here's the info from System Profiler:

I am *volunteering* to help with the testing, as so far I've got nit (no resolution-switching, no display detection, no QE, CI, or any graphical acceleration whatsoever (in fact, if I apply the Graphics Update, I can't boot in any mode whatever)).

 

The best I've got is 1600x1200 (which is wrong/wrong/wrong for a normally 16:9 display such as my Acer H2333H.bmid, especially when it's corner-to-corner, as in no border), and that's only VGA (the display is normally dual-display, with DVI-D, HDMI, and VGA /any two at once; however, I have no display detection at *any* resolution on the Hack side, and the tallest I can drive digitally is 1400x1050, and that is via DVI-D).

 

Windows and Linux are utterly fine (I usually operate with the display connected via either DVI or HDMI in Windows, with HDMI being the preference; the monitor itself supports all three switchable via a touchpoint in the bezel; the same is true in Linux, and especially in the latest distributions, including Sabayon 5.4).

[tdtran1025]

I have exactly the same card (5450) and the same information displayed in system profiles. The interesting thing is after investing 2 days trying to apply every method availble in this forum, I came away with a recognition that nothing works. By patching the ATI5000.kext alone would allow 10.6.4 boot into resolution of 1152x870 no matter what bootloader or flags I use. It stays at that resolution with no QE/CI. Any flag or none would not matter as long as I use the latest r629 of Chameleon RC5.

I think Netkas can help if he re-writes the ATY_Init.kext to include the parameters of the 5450 so that the proper frame buffer will kick in.

I will keep waiting and hoping because it is a decent card for building a HTPC.

[pivy]

hey guys finally i got my 5670 working!! all enabled on vga out with Baboon framebuffer. My only problem is the resolution because i get avaible only 4:3 resolutions (i.e. 1600x1200) but my 22" monitor is 16:10 so i need 1680x1050. How can i set a custom wide resolution? thank to all!

[pivy]

UPDATE: framebuffer 'Vervet', dvi -> vga dongle, 1680x1050 XD.... not working on the vga out

[superjacks1232]

UPDATE: my HIS ati 5670 rakm 1 GB work eith 'Vervet'

 

- vga not work

- dvi work with full 1920x1080

- hdmi not test

 

Thank netkas

Hello ! i'm french and is difficult for me to explain my problem in english but i realy need to your help

 

You can tell me step by step how i can enable my hd 5830 with a kext

 

my motherboard asus p5q-e work well with the sound and internet but with my ATI is not the same.

 

i have 2 screens : asus 22 " in DVI and one asus 26" in HDMI.

 

Sorry for my {censored} bad english, please help me , i'm so desperate.

Please read my previous posts

But know that if you do it my way, you wont get acceleration just full resolution, which is meaningless

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1562583

[Ceatnow]

ok thank you i will try without acceleration , and you don't know if is possible with 3d acceleration, now or soon ? i hope all will be possible with this card.

 

If somebody can help me or give more information

I have exactly the same situation with the "hard one": HD5550

[muggywalker]

tried all FBs,but my 5670 get no luck.

it always shown as 5700 after I installed ATY_init, but it should be a 5670.

the device ID is 68B9.

I can see this device ID in ATIReadonX3000.kext, but not in the ATI5000.kext.

tried to add the device ID in ATI5000.kext, no luck.

I searched many days, but get less information about the 5670 card with device ID 68B9.

any one get same card as this works?
