10.4.8 - Rosetta doesn't work for OpenGL apps.

[Templeton Peck]

Hi all,

 

I just upgraded my main partition to 10.4.8. Rosetta is way faster, but any PPC app that uses OpenGL just crashes to the desktop.

 

I'm using Mifki/Vitality's kernel on a GMA900, and the 915 kexts from my Jas 10.4.7 installation. I'm also using the OpenGL framework from my 10.4.7 installation, because the 10.4.8 one doesn't work.

 

Thanks.

[Templeton Peck]

I've been playing around with some kexts/frameworks. Using all the 915 kexts from 1.4.8 (official from Apple, not Jas or whatever) and deleting all the 950 stuff I can get into the GUI by replacing only GLEngine.bundle (part of OpenGL.framework). Of course, using the latest Framebuffer kexts limits my resolutions to 1024x768, but SwitchResX should take care of that. This still doesn't solve my basic problem of getting OpenGL apps working in Rosetta, however...

 

Is there anybody with GMA900 who's had success with OpenGL apps in Rosetta?

[snackole]

Do you have QE/CI enabled?

[Slip]

Not yet.

 

Have you tried running the Blender3D osx86ver program? Can't get past the 8Meg of vram required here.

 

 

 

 

I'm thinking it's probably the end of the road for 915 and sse2 for that matter , for OpenGL etc in 10.4.8

[Templeton Peck]

I haven't tried Blender, but I should note that I have no trouble running Native OpenGL apps such as Nanosaur, Quake III, Google Earth, sixtyforce, etc... It's the PPC OpenGL apps that give me trouble - Things like Doomsday, Tomb Raider Chronicles, Wolfenstein, Jedii Knight, Tony Hawk, etc..

 

Yes, QE/CI are enabled.

 

I honestly wouldn't mind if this were the end of the line for the GMA900. Frankly, I've been aching to get a decent video card working properly in OSx86 - a feat now possible with NVIDIA cards and Titan. But I don't want to drop the dough on a brand new video card until I'm sure it works in Leopard!

 

EDIT: Yes, the Intel version of Blender works as expected; the PPC version does not. Right now, I'm using the the 10.4.8 kexts except for Framebuffer, and the 10.4.5 OpenGL framework.

[Templeton Peck]

I apologize for bumping this. Can anybody confirm or deny the status of PPC OpenGL apps with the GMA900 in 10.4.8? Please report any successes or failures. I think it's broken, but I just want confirmation before posting in the wiki. Thank you.

Have exactly the same trouble with 10.4.8 (Jas DVD, semthex latest kernel) on GMA950 (ASRock Conroe-DVI). Every PPC OpenGL application is crushing, with an error (in console.log)

x86 ERROR gliInitializeLibrary:256: dlopen failed: dlopen(/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Resources/GLEngine.bundle/GLEngine, 6): Symbol not found: ___isnanf
 Referenced from: /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libGLProgrammability.dylib
 Expected in: /usr/libexec/oah/Shims/libSystem.B.dylib

x86 FATAL: gliInitializeLibrary:256: forcing crash

It seems, that my version of OpenGL.bundle is not compatible with Rosetta.

[Rammjet]

Has anyone tried taking the OpenGL from the Apple Intel 10.4.7 update and see if things work?

[dugnamtar]

I've tried GLEngine.bundle from 10.4.8 AMD_TEST1 ISO (yes, I know -- not so clever idea to use AMD binaries on Intel) and got black screen after running WC3 and severe artifacts after reboot (totally screwed GUI).

 

Also tried to change /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Versions/A/Libraries/libGLProgrammability.dylib. Error message slightly changed, but result is still the same -- crash after start.

 

x86 ERROR gliInitializeLibrary:256: dlopen failed: dlopen(/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Resources/GLEngine.bundle/GLEngine, 6): Symbol not found: _kill
 Referenced from: /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Resources/GLEngine.bundle/GLEngine
 Expected in: /usr/libexec/oah/Shims/libSystem.B.dylib

 

If anyone still using 10.4.7 OS X could send GLEngine.bundle (or possible all OpenGL.framework folder from /System/Library/Frameworks) -- I could try it.

If you are responding to my suggestion, I was suggesting using the Apple Intel update and extract the OpenGL (using Pacifist).

 

Otherwise, nevermind my ramblings.

[dugnamtar]

Rammjet, I've just tried to use GLEngine.bundle from 10.4.7 Apple combo update (both ways -- one file separately and as a whole 10.4.7 OpenGL.Framework). No luck. After reboot GUI is broken.

Hey guys... basically i had the same problems as you all....

 

here's the problem:

 

- 10.4.8 openGL and 10.4.8 ATI kexts DO NOT work with rosetta.... they just crash your system

- 10.4.7 openGL and 10.4.7 ATI kexts from apple works... if i never recall wrongly, it will work with rosetta

 

- solution would be to go back to 10.4.6 kexts and opengl framework or use 10.4.7 kext and framework...

[dugnamtar]

By the way, I've tried OGL.Framework from JaS DVD, and found that only one which is placed at /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.Framework (on the DVD) works. The one which is in /System/Installation/Packages/Jas.10.4.8.with.semthex.pkg (extraced with Pacifist) doesn't work either. So, I am not even sure, that OpenGL.Framework placed on DVD is really 10.4.8 version.

10.4.4 doesn't work

10.4.5 works, but rosetta applications that use opengl hangs

10.4.6 works, with the same trouble

10.4.7 (apple) not tested yet

10.4.8 (apple) not tested yet

[Schweppes]

I have the same problems with OpenGL applications...QuickTime doesnt work always, VLC either...

 

I dont know how to fix it yet.

hi every one ive got the exactly same issue

 

the code in the console is following_:

Graphics Card: Intel GMA 950 QE/CI supported

Version : 10.4.8 Jas only intel with Mifki Kernel ( and semthex whichever)

 

i hope there will be a solution

btw this occurs when i am trying to plac RtCW ET - Return to Castle Wolfenstein Enemy Territory

[zikman]

same problem here...:mellow:

[zikman]

there iis no solution right?

[zikman]

anyone?

[AppleIIGuy]

Ok I just ran Xbench under rosetta and I did not have a problem. I am running semthex beta 8 kernel sse3

 

included is my hardware profile

[dugnamtar]

I've solved the problem by adding Nvidia 7300GS card (used GMA950 before) and replacing OpenGL.Framework to proper 10.4.8 version. OpenGL.Framework supplied with GMA950 drivers in Jas DVD seems to be Rosetta-incompatible.

[zikman]

i am on a laptop...so i cant change my video card...

If i use opengl.framework fron the semthex package at 10.4.8 then the screen has artifacts etc...what should i do?!

[wow]

You clould try the openglframework form the offical 1048 update

[zikman]

i tried that but then gui is broken

[LeCornutier]

Hi, I have the same problem on my notebook Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pro, with GMA900 and a Celeron M cpu (sse2 only)...

 

Is there any news on this issue?
