autoy Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 And also please post at least if you have SSE2 or 3 and what version of osx86 are you running. It would be very useful for everyone if you include your whole system specs in your signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omni Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Let's all calm down first... Just because you can load a kext does not mean it will work. Also, loading a kext when system has already booted (especially in the case of a Framebuffer device) will do nothing. The IONDRVFramebuffer has already loaded and initialized before hand and wont be replaced by you loading ATINDRV. Now, the ATINDRV.kext for some reason depends on the latest (1.3) versions of IOGraphicsFamily and IONDRVSupport. If you look at other ATI* they still use 1.0.0b1 (load Info.plist and look at the OSBundledLibraries). So it might not work with our 1.0.0b1 version of GraphicsFamily and NDRVSupport, but it might. Just that's not the only problem, there are those (pesky) IOKitPersonalities that need to be satisfied as well before the kext will initialize and run. But I'm sure many people are working on it right now, it's just a matter of who gets there first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serioussman Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Ok, sorry for the wrong info. After copying Radeon9700 and Radeon kexts, reboot, kernel panic, With -v, it stops at display:vram part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sigxcpu Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 omni, I have version 1.4.1 of IOGraphicsFamily kextstat | grep IOG 67 2 0x3286d000 0x1b000 0x1a000 com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily (1.4.1) <16 6 5 4 3> and the one provided in 10.4.4 is version 10.4.2 where do you look for those numbers, because I've found the same in Info.plist?

bofors Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I would be glad to hear of any xX00 family working... Ditto on that. What is closest to an x1600 that people here have? An x800? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave A Posted January 16, 2006 Author Share Posted January 16, 2006 Copy AppleNDRV too, please! It contains ATI stuff on it.OSX86 Dave, you have an X800 right? I wish. No I have an old 9800. my laptop has an x300, but I haven't tried it on that yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omni Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 omni, I have version 1.4.1 of IOGraphicsFamilyand the one provided in 10.4.4 is version 10.4.2 where do you look for those numbers, because I've found the same in Info.plist? I was looking in the Info.plist for the ATINDRV, I guess we do have >1.3 on our systems as well (1.4.1), but the message I got when trying to load kinda suggested that there's a mismatch there. Carry on then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjtd Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 (edited) Greets. X1600 is totally different from older gen cards like X800, 9700 and so on. X800 is similiar to an 9700, with more pipelines. To the ones with porblems/atifacts, try to remove ATI9700 kexts, and only let ATINDRV on the extensions directory.

sigxcpu Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I had a similar error with 82865 integrated graphics in the early days of 10.4.1. I don't remember how that was solved, if it was. It is for sure some addressing problem here. Every object on the screen is black actually on ATI, but I think we are seeing some pixels in video memory from the previous session (a dead dock at the half of the screen with icons drawn ok), but the real moving dock on login is totally black. all the windows are black (i have the CardBusWireless utility for RT2500) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autoy Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 What is closest to an x1600 that people here have? An x800? AFAIK xX00 and x1X00 are quite different graphic chips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the ones with porblems/atifacts, try to remove ATI9700 kexts, and only let ATINDRV on the extensions directory. I don't think this will work. The Info.plist of ATINDRV looks like this: <key>IOClass</key> <string>ATICLASS</string> <key>IOMatchCategory</key> <string>IOFramebuffer</string> <key>IONameMatch</key> <string>ATY,Wormy</string> so, it will try to match for ATY,Wormy (that X1600) to load/initialize.

rjtd Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 (edited) We can probably replace that match with a PCI id. <key>IOPCIMatch</key> <string>0x4E441002 0x41441002 0x4E481002 0x41481002 0x41501002 0x4E501002 0x41521002 0x4E541002 0x4A481002 0x4A491002 0x4A4A1002 0x4A4B1002 0x4A4C1002 0x4A4D1002 0x4A4E1002 0x5B601002 0x5B621002 0x3E501002 0x4E561002 0x5B641002 0x3E541002</string> Also, don't forget about AppleNDRV kext!!!

omni Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 (edited) AppleNDRV/ has no consequence here, it contains native (PPC) bundles only. I thought everyone at least tests the files first (file <filename>) to find out whether they are uni or ppc only bins...

New001 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I did all of the steps to install the new Kext's, but when I boot, there is just a black screen after the Apple logo, looks like the new ATi drivers don't work, oh well then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
