Hi everyone! I'm from Russia (sorry for grammar).

 

So that:s my problem:

 

I installed JaS 10.4.8 few weeks ago on my laptop ASUS v6000v

 

All things like LAN, sound works fine, except one - VIDEO (ati mobiliti radeon x600 (3150x1002) PCIe 128 mb).

 

I've read a lot about this and made it work with next:

 

1) Installed OS X JaS 10.4.8 (I love it..not 10.4.8:) but OS X)

 

2) Installed koverg-patch9700-v0.2 (qe/ci enabled + can change resolution from com.apple.boot.plist to 1400x1050 -the max of my laptop) miss: mouse tearing+great artifacts when move windows. Can solve it changing the resolution to 1280x1024 but I've bought it to work with 1400x1050, so that decision is not for me. And always pressing F9 too.:P

 

3)Installed then Callisto b006. Now I understand that I don't need it because Callisto gives you ability to switch to another resolutions but in my case 1400x1050 is the best and only.

 

What I have now?

 

OS X (JaS 10.4.8) shows only 64 mb instead of 128 that I have. Artifacts when moving windows+ mouse tearing. A know that there're some programs like mousepose or mouselocator but I don't want to use them because I know that my card can work fine with this OS X. The main thing I must realize is HOW TO MAKE IT WORK. So there some new desicions and I need your advices and recommendations now.

 

Plan a:

 

Fix it with hex edit and make my own patch file. Here is the description, but I'm not sure am I right or not. If you think that I missed smth or make it wrong please say it to me:)

 

1) Reinstall OS X.

 

2) Copy files "ATIRadeonX9700.kext","ATIRadeonX9700GA.plugin","ATIRadeonX9700GLDriver.bundle" from /System/Library/Extensions on my desktop.

 

3) Show contents of "ATIRadeonX9700.kext", go into /Contents/MacOSX and hex edit "ATIRadeonX9700" binary file. Replace *every* occurence of 625B (am I right?) with my Device ID (my Device ID is 0x3150 PCIe so in the file i'll write it as 5031). Save the modified file. In the same .kext edit "Info.plist" file with TextEdit and replace the *only* 0x5B621002 entry with mine. In my case it is 0x31501002.

 

4) Show contents of "ATIRadeonX9700GA.plugin", edit "Info.plist" with TextEdit, and I'll see 2 strings in the following format: 10025B62-0000-0000-0000-000a27898d3e. Again replace the 5B62 with my Device ID on both. Save the file.

 

 

5) Show contents of "ATIRadeonX9700GLDriver.bundle", hex edit the binary inside /Contents/MacOSX and replace 5B62 entries with my own, just like I did on step (1). Save the file.

 

Drag n drop those 3 files form my desktop into /System/Library/Extensions (Authenticate & Replace).

Open Terminal:

sudo -s

chmod -f 755 /System/Library/Extensions

chown root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions

diskutil repairPermissions /

reboot

I've read that this help and solve the problem with artifacts and mouse tearing to many people... But I'm not sure about 5B62? My card is ati mobiliti radeon x600 PCIe 128 mb 3150. Am I right to replace 5B62 with 3150?

 

Plan b:

 

To reinstall the bios of my video card. But I read that bios in videocards on laptops is locked and I'm not really sure now about this desicion.

 

 

So that's all I have now. Please give me your advices and recommendations to solve this problem. I'm so tired to reinstall OS X... but I really want to find the right way and really sure that the truth is out there...;) (OS X files)
