Hi

Well I managed to set up a working patch for 10.4.9 and 10.4.10 that will enable CI/QE for your ATI Card ( cards based on ATIRadeon9700.kext driver).

There are also some new drivers in the package that you can use if you're having problems loading your ATIRadeon9700.kext, so use them if you have that error with _proc_pid.

 

If you come across any bug please tell me so I can fix it since this is the first version

 

Cheers ;)

 

PS: This is a quick "re-edit" of ATIScript by z0rz so thanks man for the script.

 

*Updated to 0.1.1*

 

**Latest version is ATIDriverProject 0.1.1**

ATIDriverProject.tar.gz

ATIDriverProject_0.1.1.tar.gz

If you could sort out the README a bit it would help, I tried running it but got a lot of "file not found" errors.

I was really excited too, since I have the XPRESS 200M (RS480) card...

 

EDIT:

I found the copying error, on line 47 of the build.sh script you have:

 

(original line #47) BACKUP=$HOME/Orig.ATIRadeon9700 (or something quite similar)

 

I altered this to an existing folder from my root called "Backups":

 

(altered line #47) BACKUP=/Backups/Orig.ATIRadeon9700

 

... this allowed the script to run without errors. I tried using the following options:

 

./build.sh 1 59 55 (for the XPRESS 200M RS480)

./patch.sh cal3 0x0x0 2 1 (to use the framebuffer)

 

On reboot I got 1280X800 (which I had already) but no QE/CI at all still.

 

will try again with a different set of patch.sh parameters and see if this fixes anything!

 

GOOD JOB! This gives us hope :P

is it possible to run an ati radeon x300 on 10.4.10 with this driver??

yes.

 

 

and it worked :D on my mobility x700

 

and uh, it didnt work like the stuff, but i pulled out the .kexts from the temp ish and found that it had edited em just not installed em so i installed em crossed my fingers and it worked.

 

 

thank you so much for qe/ci!

 

10.4.9 uphuck 1.3 for the install disk btw.

I downloaded package 0.1.1 and tried patching.

 

first error, unexpected .... in line 8 -> done

 

than I used other package, running ./build for mij X700Pro card, found two matches

 

than did the ./patch command, several times, nothing happens ...

 

What do I have to expect, more settings in displays or reboot or what.

Helpfile does not tell me, I'm no programmer wizzkid ;-)

 

My display stays at 1024x768 all the time, boot after boot. I want to get 1680x1050x32 for my big widescreen pleazzzzzzz

Hi. This worked for me with a Dell-badged PCI-e X300, running Tubgirl's 10.4.10 "Test1" release, although I did have to fix a couple of syntax errors in build.sh and patch.sh.

 

Line 8 in both scripts should be "fi", not "done" (I do that a LOT)

 

and in patch.sh:

 

Line 50: this "exit" causes the script to bail immediately without performing any action. Comment the line with a "#":

 

# exit

 

or remove it altogether.

 

Well done! Thanks!

I can't get get anywhere with this. I corrected the syntax errors, ran ./build.sh as root from the atiproject directory, and it tells me "Permission denied". I have a Radeon Xpress 200 on a RS482 chipset.

Hi All,

 

I run the 2 scripts : build and patch successfully but nothing appened... :) I am always in 1024x768... and I don't have any other resolutions to choose...

 

I tried before finding this script to do it manually but without any success. I don't know where is the problem.

 

I have an IBM T43P with an ATI FireGL V3200

 

Please help.

Im so sorry, but could anyone help on how to use this? I tried the readme file but it seems like another language to me! lol..what a noob on this switching to mac with a pc thing! I know.. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I tried your kexts and Callistos... but I cant seem to get around the problem increasing my screen resolution beyond 1024x768 without screen flicker. This seems to be a common question on this forum but I did a lot of saerching and did not find any relevant answer.

The only thing I can narrow it down to is the dotClock value that shows up during boot up after installing the ATIRadeon9700 drivers along with callisto is around "96300" for my Display. Can you tell me where and how can I patch this file to support 96300 dotclock? I also tried entering the Hex Data i got from Monitor Asset manager, but that did not work much with Callisto either.

The multiple display modes appear on the Display Settings Panel, and the mouse point and screen does look better, but I see lots of wavering lines all over the place, and the screen splits up and flickers. its like its running at a different frequency, and so I figured it should be the dotclock value that needs changing.

 

Config is ASUS A7V series. Intel 2GHz 2GB Ram. ATI Radeon Mobilty x700. Device id : 5653 1002

I am running MacOSX 10.5.7

 

Can someone please help me find a solution to this. Thanks.
