JanHavlicek Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Still no chance to set resolution to 1680x1050 with X1400? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurgelmurg Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Hello! I have a Toshiba A100 with ATI X1400 Mobility. The Res. of 1024x768 is ok for me but how can I fix the thing with the artifacts which maybe have sth. to do with the mouse pointer (when opening or closing a window f.eg.) ?

Dainix Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Jurek hit the nail on the head. It doesn't matter what you do with what's available, changing resolutions with the x1400 on the internal LCD is just not possible. You can't support a function that doesn't and will never exist in OSX Leopard for this video card. It works for external displays, and external displays only. Unless you work for Apple and want to release the source illegally, we're left in the dark without a light switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinjja Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I was wondering if i could use switchresx and set the resolution to 1280 X 800 (max on my lcd) then use the bios to stretch it to be full screen. leaving me with wide screen not stretched on the internal LCD. but for some reason Switchresx reports (should be active) in my custom resolution but doesn't put it in the active section. Will switchresx not work on a x1400 or did i do something wrong. Ty for any advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killo777 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Ok, I am new with my Leopard 10.5.2, vainilla kernel in my Dell 6400 and our famous x1400: Questions that i still have after 3 days reading in this forum: 1.- I can not go more than 1152x864 but with QE ( I add 1440x900 in my apple.Boot.plist), is it not possible to get more resolution with my configuration, is it a dell problem? 2.- How can I go with more resolution in an external display and QE? I would like to see again my 1440x900 in my laptop without winXP 3.- do we know if anybody is developing a driver for our x1400? 4.- is there a way to update the firmware of the x1400 or change it for a nvidia in my dell 6400? Thanks for sharing all your wisdom with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinjja Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 @ killo777 If you mean flashing the cards bios so it would be a different card i dont think that is possible, but you can replace the card with a dell geforce g0 7300 I was wondering if any1 could tell me where to get the external display kexts that would give me res change + CI QE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramoner Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 so, are there any solutions for ati x1400 (leo)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killo777 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Thanks justinjja, I read in forums that the x1400 is much better than the go 7300, but what about the go7400, can i change my x1400 for a nvidia go 7400? I will do a search in internet for my quest, but really, it is a pity that my laptop works so great with leopard and i can not have my good display resolution anymore, i need a solution, i hope that the driver for the x1400 is coming up but in any case, i will check the possibility to change my x1400 in my dell for another one that works better with leopard in case the driver x1400 is only a dream.

alvyweb Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 In the Leo4AllV3, the support for X1400 is built-in... So, why we do not request the driver to the creator of the leo4allv3??????

(I have an Acer 5672WLMi but Leo4allV3 is not working on this laptop) All it does is everything we've done before, which is make Device ID changes. It's not a driver specific to the X1400. As for a external monitor driver, I use NatitX1300.kext. Gives me resolution changing, no mouse tearing, and QE/CI on external monitors. You need to make sure your LCD is turned off when you do it, or all of your graphics will be garbled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinjja Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Cool Ty Dainix killo i think we can only use video cards that dell has actually released with the laptop because the bios wont recognize it (im not positive though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

menuhin Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Can somebody suggest eddie to add ATI Mobility Radeon X1300 support to Leo4AllV4 or later also?

johanl2 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I have a problem with getting CI/QE to work with my ATI x1400. I followed the instructions on how to enable them (changed the device ID in the ATIRadeonX1000.kext), but System Profiler says it isn't enabled. In com.apple.Boot.plist i said I resolution of 1680x1050, but it became 1400x1050 as expected after reading numerous treads. I uploaded a screenshot of System Profiler. Anyone has a solution for my problem of CI/QE not getting to work? EDIT: After graphics update from Apple Software Update, CI/QE is working I now have mouse tearing, but I will try a solution posted in this forum.

iNiz Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 johanl2..What did you do exactly to even get to 1400X1050. I have my CI/QE enabled (supported) and i still can't get above 1024X768. If it isn't bothersome, could you post steps as to what you did? Thnx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ztardust Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 O.k... the kext that jpsiemer posted here now, works PERFECTLY on an external screen with the x1300 mobility card. Isn't there a way to change the driver to do the same for the internal screen? And I guess there isn't anything in the new 10.5.3 update that will help us with this problem...?

ekobar Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 I have a ATI X1400 running on a Dell 1505 / 6400 laptop, my screen is 1680 x 1050 pixels, I haven't been able to run a resolution higher than 1400 x 1050, no 3D acceleration, OpenGL doesn't work. Hasn't anybody been able to port ATI Linux driver into Mac? As far as I know Leopard is based on BSD, in theory a driver working for BSD or FreeBSD should work on Leo.
