Hey,

 

I installed 10.4.3 with VMware. I have a few questions:

1) For some reason it seems very unresponsive (there is nothing takeing up cpu power) it seems to be a graphics problem.

GFx Card info (ATi Readon 9800 Pro):

Type: VGA-Compatible Controller

Bus: PCI

VRAM (Total): 128 MB

Vendor: ATI (0x1002)

Device ID: 0x4e48

Revision ID: 0x0000

Displays:

Display:

Resolution: 1024 x 768

Depth: 32-bit Color

Core Image: Supported

Main Display: Yes

Mirror: Off

Online: Yes

Quartz Extreme: Supported

2) If i add my Gfx device ID and vendor id do u think QE would work too?

3) Im not getting the darwin boot screen for some reason ( i can't change the graphics mode stuff

4) I was sondering because i installed it through vmware what kernal it used ( u know mach_kernel.sse2 etc..

5)Im trying to install maxxuss's SSE3-->SS2 Patch but for some reason i can't get in as root, itried all mypasswd still didn't work.

 

Thanks Every one

So this means you deleted AppleFPMemdriver.kext? Just want to make sure.

 

To install those drivers as root, perhaps log in with -s and then use the passwd command to change the password to something you want (if the root account already exists), otherwise do this in netinfo manager.

hey i found the .kext and yes i deleted it, move it to the desktop. But i have to say there is still some lag, the 10.4.1 it was 50 times more responsive there has to be somting else i can do the increase speed. OSX says that both CI and QE are enabled and it is showing the right amount of vram execpt it still says its PCI and not AGP. But back to the kernal stuff what kernal is used when install through vmware? and could that be the problem (i have a amd athlon 64 3000+)

 

Thanks

hey thanks i got that to work, but i found it is that darwin boot thing seems to think i have only 16mb of vram, while as when i get into osx it thinks i have 128mb (which i have) i can't change my resolution from 1024x768. But it says that CI &QE work. I have a ati 9800 pro. Deleting that file helped alittle with the speed but its still much slower then10.1 what every it was. (any other advice regarding speed) i looked at the activity thing and nothing is eating up the power. I think it has somthing to with the GFX card. Could it have to do with the fact that it thinks its using PCI and not AGP?

 

I also noticed or i can't find the AppleAC97Audio.kext, is this only me? was it not put in 10.4.3? (i need this for sound)

 

Thanks

vram on VESA are not the same as Physical vram.

 

As for the reolution you can put in com.apple.Boot.plist with "Graphics Mode"="widthXheigthXdepth" in the kernel flags or as a key.

hey thanks yea i got the resolution up. The only thing is its still sluggish, do u have any idea why. (i rember i had to remove the appletmcp.?? somthing on deadmoo image but it seems this image dosn't have it) so im not sure what is making it sluggish. Im still on clear on what kernel i should be using i have amd athlon 64 3000+. what do u guys think it is?

 

Just wanting to know, is it only me or everyone else felt a decrease in responsiveness? (what im feeling is not sutble at all i mean for me u see that its slower then before.

 

Thanks again

did anybody understand this dose this have anything to do with my speed problem. I also wanted to try the pci to agp fix because system profiler stilll thinks its pci, so how would i find out what ATI kext is loaded.

 

Thanks
