hjs89 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Hi guys, I've noticed one interesting thing about black screens and AppleCPUManagement. Yesterday Maldon help me to improve my DSDT and now I'm able to remove NullCPUManagement and use the Apple's one, so I can sleep, use speedstep, etc. Now I've tested my laptop without battery and the display has started to blink. Before I went to display options in System Preference and I noticed that when I decrease the brightness the display starts to blink and if I continua decreasing it finally it shutdown. To prevent that "bug" I unchecked the option mitigate brightness when is using battery in economizer options. That hasn't fixed my problems with HDMI but maybe It could help to someone.

mojtabazarei Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Disabling KMS will give you more information I've been working for 3 days with ubuntu and talking to the radeon drivers guys on irc to understand how to get that values and make my 5650 work... Today I've had my first success... To get more information from ubuntu you have to disable kms with radeon driver. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI#Disable_KMS So you'll have xorg to take care about your graphic card. After ubuntu boots open the file /var/log/xorg.0.log There you will find info about encoder and transmitter. Today I got my HDMI to work properly (I think this is the first success for a 5XXX series). I still can't get my LVDS but I'm still using NullCPUPM for various reasons. In xorg log the terminology is a bit different from mucha's info(e.g. we have dig0->dig5 and not dig1->dig6). Search for "dig" in the log. For 5XXX series we only can have these combinations: T E 10 00 00 00 20 01 11 02 01 02 21 03 12 04 02 04 22 05 So once you get the encoder if it's 1,3 or 5 you're done, if it's 0,2 or 4 you'll have to test with two values for Transmitter. I got dig3 for my hdmi and 21 03 worked like a charm. HI Do i need to do this for my m5730 or i should test each one of above combinations can you post your patched framebuffer here i want to test our card are similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dime333 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I finally managed to get QE/CI work with my ATI Mobility Radeon 4650 1Gb. I modified ati.c from "module_system" branch with my id (0x10029480) and Shrike modded framebuffer and now it works. For those who wants to know some things: - I don't have my vbios rom in /Extra (i just used it to check info about the bios, which are the same as Mucha) - I haven't deleted or moved NullCPUPowerManagement nor Disabler kexts - Kabyl's boot didn't work for me, even if i modded ati.c. I had to use module_system's ati.c - I had to add my device id into ATI4600Controller kext - I didn't have to add my device id into ATIRadeonX2000 kext because it was already there Many, many, many thanks to everyone who made this possible for mobility cards! p.s. Now i only have to manage with my sound (i'm using VoodooHDA but i cannot change the volume or mute) and with USB (mouse is recognized, but every USB stick o USB HDD i insert is not recognized).

wmarsh Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 I decided to apply this method to the Lion kexts in the hope of eliminating those annoying white lines. The ConnectInfo strings have migrated to the ATIController executables. I found the ConnectInfo for Shrike in ATI4600Controller at 1ff70 and 743f8 Gliff is right above it at 1ff40 and 743a8 I did not find Peregrine or Motmot -- did not look for all. [EDIT MotMot is in ATI4800Controller] My laptop works as well with mod shrike as mod Peregrine, so I hope to work around this. I connect nicely with mod Lion kext. However, it does not recognize booting with Shrike bootloader or change in plist (Still says ATY,Peregrine) and the colors are very odd. Attached find an ioreg and modified ATI4600Controller.kext for Inspiron 1545 You will need ATISupport, ATIRadeonX2000, and ATIFramebuffer kexts available elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I didn't understand it well. It's very strange, are you completely sure that you are injecting the correct Fb? When I was using Lion's kext the framebuffer was recognized like ATY,RadeonFramebuffer, and looking in IORegestry I could see some stuff about the fb that I was injecting.

This is similiar to my laptop. The white haze consists of vertical lines. I have observed it becomes less if I load a modified video rom overclocked about 20%, but I don't want to do that regularly. I think the issue may be that Apple phased out ATI4500Controller.kext, which would really be more appropriate for our chips. I am working on patching the 10.6.2 FB to see if that works better, but its a little different. The ConnectInfo table is 20 bytes per connection rather than 16, and I have not figured out byte 16. Hope to get you something to test soon. Biggest limiting factor is I need a test platform -- have not installed OS X for years, I just clone existing installs -- but I found my retail disk and an unused USB drive, so we will have one soon.

checcco Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Guys, I've tried again with different values... I've found no way to get VGA and LVDS to work... I've tried every combination of values...and different bootloaders..So i think there must be something else... And I think we only can find it in DSDT... You guys are using DSDT.aml? Please reply and attach it... I'm asking so beacuse in my DSDT the LCD1 part (lvds panel) is very "strange"...So transmitter, encoder and senseid may not be enough and something must be tweaked there...

I thought that for a long time with my DSDT too, after all Nvidia and Intel laptops use a different DSDT hack. Mine actually boots functionally with no DSDT at all. If you have no output on LVDS I would recheck your encoder/decoder/sensid and I would try different FB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checcco 10.7 files which I'm going to investigate have different values, because as we have tested VGA port works in 10.7 kexts work so i tried finding the hex values but code is in a different position in ATI5000Controller, the code is there but different values, i found a few but don't know if it's eulemur or not. I have tested all combinations of the code for 10.6.6 kexts, LVDS and VGA just ain't happening. My guess is LVDS is supported but full LVDS support in 10.6.6 kexts for some mobility 5000 chipsets. some combinations i get a picture then it full resolution then screen goes black. If we can modify ati5000controller we will be set for both future support in 10.6.6 and 10.7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please post the RadeonHD dump. Use 10.6 RadeonHD (10/20/2009 update). Yeah, installed the 10/20/2009 update. When using RadeonHD, the monitor is not viewable. So you'll need to setup remote connection:- Boot with -x -v Setup remote connection (VNC) in System Preferences (in Sharing). Don't forget to set the VNC password. Test the remote connection. Reboot your computer (boot without any flags) (Correction - boot to 32bit mode: arch=i386). Connect remotely from other computer via VNC. In the "10.6 RadeonHD (10/20/2009 update)" package, there is a command line utility called RadeonDump:- Open terminal. Enter "sudo -s" & then enter password when asked. Change directory (cd) to where RadeonDump located. Enter "./RadeonDump > ~/Desktop/Encoder.txt" [*]Post the Encoder.txt here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
