alex_jr Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Hello, I've been reading through the forums re: getting the mobility 5650 to work and I would like to help test it, however I seem to stumble at the first step. I'm running OSX on a Sony Vaio VPC-EB1S1E. Installed using Hazard's 10.6.6i, updated to 10.6.7. I have WiFi & Sound working. (ethernet is a Marvel Yukon 88E8059 which i can't find support for yet). Using Chameleon 2.0 RC5 Pre8 bootloader until now (Dr. Hurt Version from here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...02&st=680#) I've tried using the Kabyl boot file for ATI support to start the testing/ATI support process but booting hangs after FakeSMS: key not found BEMB, length - 1 Nothing seems out of the ordinary before that. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/260513-help-testinggetting-to-work-mobility-5650/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcidSyl Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I'm also running OSX 10.6.7 on a Vaio with a Mobility 5650 (VPC-EC3M1E). Everything's working, except for QE/CI on my internal screen and the ethernet card (same as yours, I don't think there's a working kext for it). What I did: - Booted and installed retail 10.6.3 using Nawcom's boot-CD. - Combo-updated to 10.6.7 - Installed [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and Chameleon with ATI support using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] - Installed MBP Spring 2011 ATI kexts - Replaced boot-file (from http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=250905) for correct 5650 identification during boot - Updated Chameleon's theme.plist files to display my native resolution during boot (1600x900x32) Maybe some of these steps can help you out? When I boot with GraphicsEnabler=no, OSX boots normally using my native resolution, but without QE/CI support. When booting with GraphicsEnabler=yes AtiConfig=Eulemur -v, I get all display resolutions and full QE/CI on my external monitor (VGA) or TV (HDMI). The funny thing is, if I boot without -v (so, GraphicsEnabler=yes AtiConfig=Eulemur), my internal screen is scrambled (white lines, blurry, etc.) and my external screens are identified as extended desktops. I tried EDID injection (http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=208410), but to no avail. However, if I VNC into my laptop I can see all screens detected correctly and with the right resolutions. I think my problem relates to my native res being 1600x900, which supposedly needs dual-link support. I tried to modify my DSDT to enable that (based on http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...;#entry1362685), but I can't get my DSDT to compile correctly. Anyone care to help? Would be great if we could once and for all solve the mysteries surrounding the 5650M!

Would be great if we could once and for all solve the mysteries surrounding the 5650M! the bold part is what doesn't work for me :S when i use the modified boot file my system hangs... I guess i'll try it all over again from the beginning Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/260513-help-testinggetting-to-work-mobility-5650/#findComment-1702091 Share on other sites More sharing options...
