JoeyKing Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Hi I installed uphuck 1.3 on my Dell 4550 with a ATI Radeon 9700 TX (a stripped version of 9700, they say). out of the box I had a small resolution, ok. I spent nights reading bunches of threads here how to get that ...ing graphics working. I installed Callisto -- fine, res change possible. I installed AGPGart -- now the profiler says: Radeon 9700 NE: Chipset Model: Radeon 9700 NE Type: Display Bus: AGP VRAM (Total): 128 MB Vendor: ATI (0x1002) Device ID: 0x4e45 Revision ID: 0x0000 Displays: DELL 1702FP: Resolution: 1280 x 1024 @ 60 Hz Depth: 32-bit Color Core Image: Not Supported Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Not Supported but I don't get QE and such. I tried koverg patch with my device ID -- no success. if I try kextload -t ATIRadeon9700.kext as root, it says: noname:/System/Library/Extensions joey$ sudo kextload -t ATIRadeon9700.kext Password: kextload: extension ATIRadeon9700.kext appears to be valid kld(): Undefined symbols: _proc_pid kextload: kld_load_from_memory() failed for module /System/Library/Extensions/ATIRadeon9700.kext/Contents/MacOS/ATIRadeon9700 kextload: a link/load error occured for kernel extension ATIRadeon9700.kext load failed for extension ATIRadeon9700.kext (run kextload with -t for diagnostic output) The same if I run it at startup in single user mode. Can somebody point me into the right direction, what is wrong that the kext can't be loaded?? I guess thats the reason why the kext can't be loaded...or am I wrong? I am lost...and very close to giving up. Thanks Joey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lkr Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 have you repaired your permissions at all on your disk? also, make sure you're in root and put in the following chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/Radeon9700.kext chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/Radeon9700.kext repair permissions reboot if still no luck, make sure you type kext load completely kextload -t /System/Library/Extensions/Radeon9700.kext Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyKing Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share Posted June 27, 2007 HI Lkr doesn't help...tried that many times before (especially 'forgetting' the 3 letters ATI like in your Example doesn't help at all :-) More ideas please.... Thanx Joey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I chanced reading "MacOSX 10.4.9 & Hackintosh" at netkas.freelux.net and it mentioned that the atiradeon9700.kext wouldn't load because of a link error. I tried the replacement atiradeon9700.kext recommended and it work like a charm . It loaded atidaeon9700 and also enabled CI & QE with callisto . Try the replacement atiradeon9700.kext and let us know the results. Best of Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueCopter Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 i am having the same problem the website you linked too must have been taken down because all i see are ads.<br /><br />anyone got a valid ATIRadeon9700.kext for uphuck 1.3? ok found the site. you have a typo. it is http://netkas.freeflux.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyKing Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 well..... making a diff I quickly find that there seem to be 2 extra lines in the Info.plist. Fine. I replace this, do a kextload and AAAAHHHHHH no more errors, it loads. but then, after rebooting, BUUUUUHHHH....PC is dead. trying several times I find that loading the ATIRadeon9700.kext with the modified Info.plist freezes the computer. Even during boot in single user mode. Now what's wrong? Does my ATI 9700 Xt (or NE, like System Profiler says) not fit to the driver? Or does it need more work than adding the 0x4E451002 to the Info.plist? Any help welcome... Thanks Joey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do another clean install of Uphuck 10.4.9 without Callisto & AGPGart. Replace the AtiRadeon9700.kext with the one that you downloaded (with the necessay Vendid & Deviceid added) and all the permissions and reboot. If it boots up with CI & QE, then add Callisto and then AGPGart. Let us know how you progress> Best of Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrizz Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 well 1st of all AGPgart doesn't work right on intel systems, so i would remove it just edit the info.plist of ATIRADEON9700.kext and add your device ID. if you get QE/CI, then install callisto 008 and read the faq to get QE/CI + res switching you might want to check this out too.

JoeyKing Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 Well I'm back...after successfull recovery of my external HD, which that stupid disk utility f***ed up: Warning: never try to use this d...ed tool to try to make a OSX partition on a external firewire drive, it might erase your whole disk, despite the friendly warning that only the selected partition will be deleted but never...the whole disk. HAHA. back to the topic. I did not do a clean install, simply because I can'T afford to miss things like the ethernet adapter working :-) I deleted Callisto*, AGPGart*, and copied the new ATIRadeon9700.kext, edited the Info.plist. But a kextload still freezes my PC, and a clean boot with deleted chaches etc. shows a kernel panic. Sigh. What next? Does it make sense to try TITAN, NATIT? I would say if the Apple driver is called ATIRadeon9700, and I have one, this should definitely be the right one, at least in principle. But experience shows I am wrong...

Scrizz Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 well.. Use older versions of the ATIRADEON9700 kexts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyKing Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 Might be a good idea. googling I found that the 10.4.4 version looks promising. The only prob: where to find a link to download this ancient file? I couldn't find one... Do you happen to have an old one in store somewhere?

Scrizz Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 you might try downloading the installation dvd for 10.4.4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finger Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Try using ATIDriverProject from http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=55838 (using the driver provided in the patch). Read the README for more info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyKing Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 trying the 10.4.4 driver didn't show any real progress: - replacing all files like ATIRadeon9700* gives black on black with flickering mouse - replacing only the ATIRadeon9700.kext (plus edit of course) and leaving the rest from 10.4.9 gives at least the blurry blue screen and a mouse, but then PC freeze. maybe the last try will be the ATIDriverProject--- Thanks for the hlp Joey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyKing Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 Now I am confused: Finally I got the kext ATIRadeon9700 loaded. it shows up in kextstat. I thought this means I get CI/QE now? But this is not the case... I have also Callisto for res switching. Now what am I missing? --need more digging, sigh-- EDIT: me fool, forgot to exchange the ..GA.plugin Framebuffer against Callisto. FOR THE FIRST TIME I SEE A SUPPORTED! Thanks for all the hints. (To be honest, I copied so many things between different directories and such that I cannot reconstruct how I did it....) The next prob is how to enable UDMA...but I open a new post for this, I think. Joey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrizz Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 did you follow the callisto FAQ on how to... remove callisto and check to see if you have QE/CI.. if you don't have QE/CI without callisto, you wont be able to get it with callisto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roxen Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 My Radeon 9600 card refused to see the monitor, this happend when I used a DVI -> VGA adapter or a VGA KVM switch. When I put the EDID data in the plist it worked (with mouse tearing). See the Callisto manual and get MonInfo (a window app) to get the EDID data from your Monitor or put some generic data in. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=31810 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
