Slice Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 2 krazubu Sorry, I don't understand your memory configuration: RAM, VRAM and aperture. I saw (00000108)=08000000 -- 128Mb aperture? (00000148)=1fff0000 -- 512Mb Video RAM ? Please clarify. Another interesting value I found with you (00000910)=00000004 As I know Windows driver sets this value to 1 for 4c66 and 2 for 5835. Where is any testers with 4c66? Other Radeon9x00?

Krazubu Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Slice, My card has 128Mb onboard. About aperture size I don't really know what it is, but it's not concerned by the AGP aperture setting in the BIOS since it's a PCI board (my mobo doesn't even have AGP). I looked on the box it doesn't seem to have hypermemory or something of this kind that would suck my main RAM, btw I think PCI bus doesn't even support this.

It means the initial values are wrong so why we both have no good graphics. We need a kext that make good initializing of Radeon Chip Registers. I shall create it as first step over.

Slice Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 No one testers here except Krazubu. For you new version ATISlice Try also to replace 8500.* and OpenGL.framework to versions from 10.4.7 or below.

Slice Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I want you to try change the settings F8,size=0x00400000 As you have 128Mb the good setting might be 0x04000000 or 0x02000000 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/41235-mobility-radeon-9000-thread/page/14/#findComment-569671 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazubu Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Slice, I've made some progress, the hang was related to the kext of parallels virtual network adapter (weird) It doesn't hang anymore, I have more things to say you but I'm really hurried so I'll tell you later EDIT : I'm back, so, I tried to boot the OS without GUI with sh /etc/rc then got details about the panic, that's how I understood that it wasn't related to GFX. Now it's booting and doesn't hang anymore. Both ATISlice.kext and ATIRadeon8500.kext are loaded, however no QE/CI. But CI is now reported as software (I'm not sure about this but I think it was simply reported as not supported before). I had put F8 size back to the "safe value" to get further in boot, now it's working I'm gonna try with larger sizes. However I guess it won't work since it didn't go as far as it did even with that problematic kext (It seemed to only hang when using your injecter, maybe a conflict or something ?). Gonna try and report in a minute... Find my dmesg and ioreg attached (booted in normal mode, all kexts are loaded, I've also added my ID to ATIRadeonGA.plugin) EDIT2 : I tried to set F8 as 4000000 but this has to be set in decimal inside so plist, so i've typed 67108864 but during boot the injecter reports F8 as 0x00020000, so I must be doing something wrong ioreg9250PCInormalmode.txt dmesg9250PCInormalmode.txt Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/41235-mobility-radeon-9000-thread/page/14/#findComment-569692 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slice Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 are loaded, I've also added my ID to ATIRadeonGA.plugin) No sense! EDIT2 : I tried to set F8 as 4000000 but this has to be set in decimal inside so plist, so i've typed 67108864 but during boot the injecter reports F8 as 0x00020000, so I must be doing something wrong Use hex instead of decimal. It is not a problem. (00000148)=003f0000 (0000014c)=003f0000 It is non-reliable result. May be it is my mistake, I didn't check till now cause of repairing laptop.

toadspit Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Hi, back form holidays, I made some further tests on my 0x5834 (IGP9100). I set up in BIOS 32 Mb Aperture and 32Mb UMA framebuffer size I'm using: - AGPGart 2.4.7 (working) - no Callisto - OpenGL.framework from upHuck 10.4.9 (should be 1.4.16, does it makes sense?) Test I made: 1. ATIRadeon8500.kext patched for my 5834 (replacing device ID in Info.plist and 663D3558 with 663D3458) Results: it loads! ... mmh but then it hangs in a strange way, I can move my cursor on the gray screen with the apple. In attachment dmesg obtained "hot-loading" kext 2. ATISlice.kext 1.0.1d1, patched in Info.plist with my device id and 0x2000000 for F8,size, that should be my 32Mb VRAM. Results: it loads. Dmesg and ioreg in attachment 3. ATIRadeon8500 and ATISlice: loads and hangs like 1. I can go on testing if you need, but I don't know where to find a previous version of OpenGL.. dmesg_ATIRadeon8550.txt dmesg_ATISlice.txt ioreg_ATISlice.txt Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/41235-mobility-radeon-9000-thread/page/14/#findComment-570322 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazubu Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Toadspit : You can find OpenGL framerwork inside 10.4.7 combo update, extract it with pacifist. Any later framework won't support any ATI prior to X1000. Slice : I tried to type the value in hex, it still doesn't give me the correct one when loading.

Slice Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Thank you for testing! Don't leave me! ATISlice104 is wrong. Erase it! I prepare new version but can't check till now (own problems). Safe value for F8,size=0x00400000. But it is not good for OpenGL. Try values a half of your video memory size 128Mb=0x08000000 64Mb=0x04000000 and so on. Default BIOS settings F8=VRAM/4 - 1Mb. I dunno why. Safe value depends from (14c) as you see in your dmesg. Try also to play with GARTcachesize. My value=16=0x10. I am not sure that it is best value.

It boots fine, ATIRadeon8500.kext is loaded, but still no QE, I've tried several F8 sizes (8000000, 4000000 and 2000000) tried Gartcachesize=16. I used Chun-Nan PCI kext + 10.4.5 ATI kexts + ATI1Slice106 + 10.4.5 OpenGL.framework What other feedback can I give you ?
