Mobility Radeon 9000 thread

[Krazubu]

No much success, I re-increased my memory to 64Mb (have 128Mb on board)

I join my dmesg + ioreg

I notice that you use AppleVIAATA.

I recommend you to set in it not IOPCIMatch but

IOPCIClassMatch

0x01018500

so the driver will not try to join to HDD, only to DVD. Boot faster.

 

I have some problem with memory too.

First I boot without GA,

then manually kextload ATI1Slice to correct Radeon registers.

Then reboot.

Only after that I have OpenGL Extensions Viewer not crashes, but show me very low result.

I don't know why.

I have non-working PCMCI that have the same interrupt as ATI. It is problem.

I can't have working PCMCI and AGP simultaneously.

i'm a 4C66 user and currently on LEO .. tried both compaqx1000.dmg and radeon9200pack.dmg . both have slightly different results . with compaqx1000 it allowed me to run dvd app cept only audio was present . with radeon9200pack however dvd app has a problem . " no video device .."

Slice,

Thanks for the tip about VIAATA.

I changed my hardware about 2 weeks ago. I'm now on core 2 duo with ICH8.

You talked about your interrupt, you should have the possibility to disable VGA IRQ from the BIOS, maybe it would help, unless OSX does require an IRQ, but mine is disabled and it's ok with a 7600GS.

Also, I found a 9200 ROM for mac cards, maybe I can try flashing mine with it (9200 and 9250 are almost identical), but it's an AGP card, I don't know if being AGP or PCI involves differences in the BIOS.

I think getting an ioreg from a real PPC mac using a 8500, 9200 or cards around this could be interesting.

Where you got the packs? You can run DVD player?!

I have second computer with Gigabyte 965P probably as you. It works without problem. My problem is laptop where I can't tune anything in BIOS.

AGP driver works another way then PCI. Main difference in Gart table, but I dunno if there is a bios difference.

[Yangster]

yeap , with compaqx1000.dmg .. i got dvd app to run , i dont know , only problem was there was no picture only audio , same goes for my frontrow . VLC crashes for me on radeon9200pack . i've stoped using the compaqx1000 due to some wierd issues with my usb-wifi link : http://www.osxcm.cn/wp-content/uploads/2007/Other/

Thank you for the link! It would be interesting that anyone try these pack.

As I see its don't contain ATIRadeon8500GL.bundle, because noone solve the problem with hardwareOpenGL. So no picture with DVD.app.

More interesting, that the packages contain IOPCIFamily v1.8 - non-oficial. You have usb-wifi problem because of it.

And next. Packages include AGPGart v1.0. It does nothing. You probably need to try new one 2.4.9 or 2.6.0.

Try new combinations!

Well , Thanks . all it did for me was change my res to full so i am quite grateful for that "presently"

I have analogous ioreg nontheless thank you for my collection.

In the file it is interesting to see that north-bridge is a subclass or AppleMacRiscAGP that I never see at hackintosh.

Something wrong with our IOPCIFamily that is not tuned for hackintosh hardware.

So somebody have work Radeon 9000 IGP Mobile ? or not?

The only problem but very hard that OpenGL crashes. Looking for solution...

Hi Slice..

 

been watching this forum for some time now, I have 4c66 and I was really hoping that I can help. I'm not programmer but if you need me to test just ask.

 

My hackintosh (10.4.8) is running quite fast now, although still no QE&CI

 

for starter here's my ioreg and dmesg

dmesg.rtf

ioreg.rtf

[mattiL]

I also have a radeon 9000 (id 4c66), and I wonder why the radeon8500.kext dislikes

this card.

 

In the radeon8500.kext info.plist 4c66 is included, but still the kext can't be loaded.

 

Slice, do you have any info/ideas ?

[Slice]

Glad to see new testers.

As I know Windows uses same driver for 4c66 and 5835 so we have the same problem. The only difference is a bus. I have ATI RS300 while you have intel bus.

I wonder why ATIRadeon8500 doesn't work with 4c66. If you give me a key it would be a great advance.

First of all we need to use best IOPCIFamily.kext. Now I fighting with Chun-Nan for its.

Second we need AGPGart. You might try AGPGart 2.4.9 or 2.6.0, for my bus it is incomplete because of questions to PCI bus.

Third. What information do you have with command

sudo kextload -t /S*/L*/E*/ATIRadeon8500.kext ?

 

Don't use Ati.kext. It is obsolete.

Try ATI1Slice http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act...st&id=20503

or previous http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act...st&id=20050

 

Look here

$ cd /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions\

/A/Frameworks/CoreGraphics.framework/Versions/A/Resources

$ sudo pico Configuration.plist

 

Try all variants and report. Any information may be a key.

[akatom]

I've also got a 4c66 (Dell Inspiron 600m). In another week I will be able to format the hard drive, install osx, and help with the testing as well. I would love to join in the testing to get QE/CI running on the 4c66.

Hi Slice..

 

First of all my system crash when trying to use AGP gart 2.4.6 or 2.6 (I think it's because of chu-nan IOPCIfamily). the version of AGPGart that's work well with my system is the one use in Katana2c (yes I install katana2c).

 

second I have deleted ATIRadeon8500.kext so I cannot give you info about that..

 

I will reinstall my hackintosh and update you A.S.A.P.

I have restore my machine and here's my report

 

1. kextload -t /S*/L*/E*/ATIRadeon8500.kext -->says that ATIRadeon8500.kext has been loaded successfully

2. using ATI1Slice and AGPGard 2.4.9 has cause my system to crash.

 

I also have pacth my USB and Network to make the USB and Lan card work (maybe it's got something to do with my kernel panic problem).

 

anyway here's a screenshot of my kernel panic.

 

Now I got to restore it all over again

 

 

I will updated you as soon as I get my system back on

You are quite write. AGPGart is wrong. I am working on new version. Coming soon.

Some test without it?

[samie]

Hi Slice

 

Without AGPGart, My system boot real slow. but after I removed the ATIRadeon8500.kext it become normal again. The only thing I notice change without AGPGart is in the System Profiler my display is show as PCI with VRam 128 (I only have 32 MB). but other than this I don't feel any difference at all

 

Anyway here's my ioreg and dmesg

dmesg.txt

ioreg.txt

[Slice]

Your DMESG has too many output from USB so I don't see useful information from ATISlice. A part of them at the top of the file.

You probably have the same error as I saw with Krazubu. ATI Radeon internal registers is not initialized properly, so why you see bad information about VideoRAM.

My system thinks that I have 4Mb and I can't persuade it so why I am deep in PCI problem now.

Hi

 

With Chun-nan IOPCI 2.4, AGPGart 2.6 and ATI1Slice (last version) I got a total freeze, had to start with Kalyway DVD to be able to remove AGPGart and ATI1slice.

I did try both -f, -s and -x as startup options, no luck. Just a black screen with text and a crash. (no photo to show you)

 

So now I try with Chun-nan IOPCI 2.4 (no AGPGart yet) and try to load ATIRadeon8500.kext:

 

sudo kextload -t /System/Library/Extensions/ATIRadeon8500.kext

Password:

extension /System/Library/Extensions/ATIRadeon8500.kext has potential problems:

Warnings

{

"Kext has immediate dependencies on both com.apple.kernel and com.apple.kpi components; use only one style" = true

}

 

kextload: extension /System/Library/Extensions/ATIRadeon8500.kext appears to be loadable

extension /System/Library/Extensions/ATIRadeon8500.kext does not contain code for this architecture

 

 

I have Radeon9000 4C66.

Hi Slice

 

sorry for the bad dmesg input.. here's the one without usb. (the usb output is from usb wireless stick that I use)

 

anyway i feel that the best combination for me is to use katana2c and chunan revision2 or 1 (don't feel the difference).

 

using your ATISlice or ATI1Slice I didn't feel the difference..

 

looking forward to use your new AGPGart that is compatible with chunan IOPCI revision..

hi all, is there any chance that this will work on a ati x200? i tried it and it detects my card and vram correctly but i cant change the resolution

I think you need to find other 8500.

You are on a right way...

Ther is another thread at the forum for x200 users. Callisto is proposed to change resolution. I work on OpenGL problem.

ATISlice is a patcher for Radeons 9xxx, xNNN but it is not a driver.

 

Work in progress.

[betolley]

Any news on this? The old beast(Inspiron 5100) has a 7500(qe works but nothing opengl like games). It will take a 9000 m9 upgrade. I have been watching this to see(running fedora with beryl goodness right now)
