Hello everyone

 

I am posting this for help the myself and anyone else having Framebuffer problems with there ATI 5770 graphics card. As of right now my display resolution is great and dual monitors work as u can see bellow. The only problems I have are DVD Player crashes, desktop backgrounds don't load automatically, and I cant play any of my valve games. I tried booting with frame buffers: Pithecia, Bulrushes, Cattail, Hydrilla, Duckweed, Fanwort, Elodea, Kudzu, Gibba(Makes it boot into safemode), Lotus, Iomoea, Mangabey, Muskgrass, Juncus with no change. Bellow is what System Profiler says about my graphics.

I tried that ATI5000 kext and it booted safe-mode. I also tried "Hoolock" and that just wouldn't boot. I have the Asus not the MSI one with 1-VGA port, 1-DVI port, & 1-HDMI port. Is it posible to figure out what is enabling the dual monitors when I have "GraphicsEnabler=No" and reverse engineer that?

 

SCORE!! Vervet was the wrong Frame Buffer. Eulemur was the correct Frame Buffer for the Asus ATI5770 graphics card. I now have fully-working dual monitors, DVD Player doesn't crash, & Source games (eg. TF2, Garrys Mod, Portal) work!! Thanks for the help everyone! Tomorrow I am gonna try and see if the HDMI port works on my 40" flatscreen, then I will have 3 monitors.

While Playing Garrys mod I tried to run a youtube video and I got a Kernel Panic.

 

After I rebooted I opened Console to fine the error message.

 

Console says:

Not all 5770 use same frame buffer, depends on cards port layout, most single slot 3 port with vga, dvi and hdmi (Hoolock) while other layout usually Eulemur or Vervet, but with all the variations to the 5770, you may need to manually edit the frame buffer, bcc9 has thread with more info on how to do this
