They got QE on the Mobility Radeon 7500, (has TONS of Hangs and glitches) Can anybody edit the OpenGL.framework from 10.4.1?

Hello Boy

1^ excuse for my bad english1

2^i've on my Hp zv5371EA, my "bad card" ati mobility 9100 igp 5835 id,

finally i not have QE,CI, i'v used callisto 003 fixed, now i try katana for agpgart..asap..

i hope this thread can find a solution!I've frustated!

Ciaoo

[FreakyMac]

I hope we can, because if we got QE on the Mobility 9000 and up, There would be drinks passed around and we ust got to figure out how to fix this, if the 7500 people go QE, why can;t the Mobility 9000?

 

Thanks for you support Iktus!

Hi, i didnt use osx86 since a years now (linux4life) but i want to give it a new try. I got a rs300 9100IGP U3 5835 (Mobility radeon 9000). Last time i tried, i used calisto built2 (and after the realise of 006 i formated for space). I actually know nothing about work done since 1 years on the ATI front. Can someone say the actual status of the card and new driver since 1 years (katana?).

 

Thanks

 

*A simple question, do 10.4.4 stuff work on the new kernel, i need the atheros driver from 10.4.4 if things did not changed

[FreakyMac]

I dunno, i wish i was smart enough to fix this,

 

 

*i think it does*

[pauℓzurrr.]

Could someone upload/send me b003 of callisto? im trying to get mine 9000 to work again but the build from http://ftp.max-systeme.com/ doesnt seem to work?

 

Edit:

 

Nevermind got one that works now, only the other stuff =)

BUMP *gotta keep this topic ALIVE*

[kernalzero]

I've got a radeon 9000 (32MB) builtin to my Dell D600 (latitude) That I would love to have QE on. I'm in the process of reinstalling 10.4.8 on to the laptop but I'd love to participate in whatever kext testing may go down...any headway in anything like that? What has been completed to date?

[FreakyMac]

Well, We haven't made much progress, I'm not a dev, we need some help on making the OpenGL.framework, that seems to be our problem, if we get OpenGL to work then Quartz Extreme will be a Piece of Cake. But my biggest intrest is how the Mobility 7500 got QE and that person who fixed it. He seemed to fix it with the OpenGL.framework from 10.4.4 and fixed it from there,

 

Anybody wanna help make this?

 

Anybody had any experience with making Kext and fiddleing around with OpenGL.framework?

Wow, you're really keeping this thread alive! Good going FreakyMac

 

I'm probably going to be switching to a TabletPC soon, but I still want to have this machine running OS X nicely for text-based stuff.

[FreakyMac]

Hey i'm just doing my job but, We need ALL THe support we can get, We just need to figure out how to Fix the OpenGL.framework

 

BTW: I tried MPlayer and it was SOO screwed up it was all blocky and everything

[BaselineAce]

Someone has to fix the Radeon8500 driver (or make a new one) to get anywhere.

NEW INFO BOUT THE 9000 CARD!

 

Ok I did some googleing and i found that the 8500 and 9000 are in the same family. the 9000 even though it has a higher number is actually an 8500 with some of the features left out. My bet is that apple is using the same driver for both cards.

[pauℓzurrr.]

Nice find but does the 8500 got QE/CI? btw something else, should katana work on a 9000 mobility radeon (9100 chip)?

Edited March 5, 2007 by p-J16

[FreakyMac]

Sorry, When the iBook shipped with the 9000 card in it, It only supports Quartz Extreme but does not Support

Core Image, because, the 9000 card has only a 1.4 Pixel Shader, The newer cards today, like he x600 support both QE/CI, So only the Mobility 9000 card supports QE but not CI,

 

and Katana Supports all Radeon Cards, as i know of

Fine, also only QE would be great. But even with Katana I could not get it to work. So no go here...sorry

[pauℓzurrr.]

Hmm strange because i couldnt get my card working with katan

 

 

btw my video card chip is a 9100?

Sorry to burst your bubble, but this has been the ongoing problem for years. The 8500 driver was never completed.

[FreakyMac]

Thanks Baseline We can not EVER use the 8500 drivers until SOMEONE knows how to create Gfx drivers for ATI cards

People have been trying for years... I don't think anything is going to happen overnight.
