Hi all,

 

Long time listener first time caller.

 

I have Mavericks 10.9 installed on my Gigabyte Z68AP-D3, works like a top EXCEPT for the fact that my AMD Radeon HD 5450 (Asus, 0x06f9 I believe) does not have FrameBuffer acceleration. Only the 6450, running Pithecia. I have in my Boot.plist, "AtiConfig" set to "Pithecia" for the 6450.

 

How can I ALSO enable a FrameBuffer for the 5450, simultaneous? I would have to have "AtiConfig" set to "Eulemur" for the 5450, yes? But how to set them both at the same time?  

 

Can I have two lines, one saying AtiConfig=Pithecia, and the next saying AtiConfig=Eulemur?  The two cards being different chipsets, they do not have a common Framebuffer entry type between them, as far as I have been able to research.

 

 

I did the ioreg | grep ATY and I get this --

 

    | |   |   | +-o ATY,Pithecia@0  <class AtiFbStub, id 0x1000002ce, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (3 ms), retain 43>
    | |   |   | +-o ATY,Pithecia@1  <class AtiFbStub, id 0x1000002cf, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (1 ms), retain 43>
    | |   |   | +-o ATY,ATY,RadeonFramebuffer@0  <class AtiFbStub, id 0x10000047f, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (0 ms), retain 43>
    | |   |   | | +-o ATY_ATY,RadeonFramebuffer  <class AMDFramebuffer, id 0x100000482, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (0 ms), retain 52>
    | |   |   | +-o ATY,ATY,RadeonFramebuffer@1  <class AtiFbStub, id 0x100000480, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (0 ms), retain 43>
    | |   |   | | +-o ATY_ATY,RadeonFramebuffer  <class AMDFramebuffer, id 0x100000488, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (0 ms), retain 52>
    | |   |   | +-o ATY,ATY,RadeonFramebuffer@2  <class AtiFbStub, id 0x100000481, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (0 ms), retain 43>
    | |   |   | | +-o ATY_ATY,RadeonFramebuffer  <class AMDFramebuffer, id 0x10000048e, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (0 ms), retain 49>
 
.. which says to me that Pithecia is installed correctly but the 5450 is using the generic RadeonFramebuffer .. ?
 
 
Where to go from here, everyone? I'd like both cards to be recognized .. possible?
