HD 5870 shows as 5000

[eep357]

First off, great job taking the time to do a little learnin' there bro, that's what it's all about!!! In retrospect, I should have just picked a 3 connector frame buffer to work with, but reason for sticking with Uakari was because it is the default for 5870. As you learned you cant change the overall length of the file, this changes the offsets that all the different parts of the driver are at inside so when the system goes to look for stuff in a certain spot inside the kext, it's not there. Anyway, obviously the HDMI looks good and looks like you got audio working on it, so that whole line is fine and you even changed the hotplug id right before the sense ID to a 05 which should let you plug/unplug HDMI while it's running with no problems. Your other two are both DVI's, the 000400 is a dual link and the 000200 is a single link. So ideally, assuming your card's DVI is a dual-link, you'd want to keep the 000400 if it works and change the 000200 to a 040000 for Display Port. The good part is that you've got the gist of how to fiddle with it, and sometimes a bit of fiddling is what it takes, which is a heck of a lot easier to do on your own hardware because you can see if it worked and try many different things in a shorter amount of time. I'm sure you read a lot, so kudos on the effort!

 

Since you already have your sense ID's all there in your edits, this should work, just changing the red text:

 

 

04 00 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 71 00 00 12 04 04 03

00 04 00 00 14 00 00 00 00 71 00 00 00 00 06 05

00 08 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 71 00 00 22 05 05 04

00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

I must say, this was fascinating to follow

 

Well done guys and exceptional work from eep357 - very impressive.
