Need HD5650M boot file

Hi

 

I'm working on a installation of osx on my laptop HP DV7-4050eb (with core i5 540M and hd 5650 m). Everything goes well until I reboot and the screen is very scrambled. I'm able to see system preferences and it looks like osx recognises the intel hd graphics and not the hd 5650M.

 

So the thing I need is someone who can compile chameleon with the correct hardware ids / sysid so OSX uses the hd 5650M.

 

Atlee has already made some boot files: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...62286&st=40 but none with the correct information for my laptop.

 

found my subsys id, it's 103C:144b (and 1002:68c1 as vendor id and device id). Can somebody recompile the boot file with my ids? Or can I do this myself? I can read this subsys when I boots with -v

 

If everything works I can provide a reward for the one who helped me! (or a donation to insanelymac)

 

 

Thanks!

I can... You may write me subsys & dev ids. You can look for them in windows driver properties. Also I want to know what FB do you wish to use.

 

Or... I can explain how to compile...

 

You need to download chameleon src:

 

Type this in terminal.

svn co http://forge.voodooprojects.org/svn/chameleon

 

Then go to the Chameleon folder, located in your system disk. Then /branches. Copy Kabyl folder to somewhere.

 

Install Xcode 3.2.6 (for snow mac os). Do not use Xcode 4! You'll can not compile the boot file.

 

Open project file with xcode. Locate Ati.c.

 

According to this your card is RV830 Family.

 

Add this to the line 459 (according to this):

{ 0xdevid,	0xsubsys,	CHIP_FAMILY_REDWOOD,	"ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650",		kBaboon		},

 

where 0xdevid - your devid, oxsubsys - your subsys...

 

Then open terminal. Type:

 

cd /SomewhereLocation/Kabyl

 

then:

 

make clean
make embedtheme

 

Then go to the /Kabyl/sym/i386 folder and find "boot". Replace your boot file with compiled one.

 

That's all.

So, does it work for you? I got HP Envy 14 Core i7 with the same graphic card as you but with 1600x900 resolution. I can't seem get GraphicsEnabler=yes to work at 1600x900 but GraphicsEnabler=no seems to recognize 1600x900 fine. I have tried force EDID method, it doesn't seem to help.

<p>Hey, I live in a backward country where the internet is capped and slow, so essentially I can't get Xcode.</p>

<p>Would you be able to compile it for me?</p>
