hi ajv... i may have a source... nothing definite tho, find out soon.

 

in the meantime, keep looking. maybe someone could walk into an applestore with a USB key? ;)

 

EDIT: ajv: spoke to my source, he's willing - going to email me the files, so i can provide them to you for testing soon (hopefully).

 

EDIT2: ajv, i think np_ may have been looking for the ioreg -l output from an iMac Core Duo, not a hackintosh, but perhaps your info will be of use anyway. the point im making is that we're still on the lookout for this info - i'll ask my iMac Core Duo source ;)

ah good - you're here... excuse me for being dumb, but how do i get ioreg to redirect to the file? i tried ioreg -l >file.txt but it seems to truncate lines. if you tell me how you did it i can ask my source to do the same

 

EDIT: ah balls you appear to be gone. someone? anyone??

yes, i know this... my source has an iMac Core Duo, and can provide information and is possibly going to provide the OpenGL frameworks too. i just need to know how we capture the output of ioreg. i tried ioreg -l >file.txt on my powerbook g4 (running the ppc version of tiger) just as a test, but the lines appeared to be truncated.

 

if you can tell me the exact command to get the output we need into a file, i can communicate that to my source. (i refer to him as 'my source' not to appear cool in a james bond kind of way, but rather because he would rather remain nameless).

 

EDIT: holy {censored} ajv, you da man ! ;)

Okay so 8f1111g with 10.4.4 ati drivers and AGL and OpenGL frameworks gets a nice blue screen with spinner for about 15-20 seconds (further than it got before) and then dumps me to console. ;)

 

system.log output:

New driver release! Credit goes to KINKADIUS that got a shinny new iMac ;)

 

You can get them from here:

 

[Removed for DMCA compliance]

 

Thank you for the upload :)

 

I made a new working mirror, with a pass: x86 [Removed for DMCA compliance]

 

 

Seems that s.o. who do not like OSX to be on a PC reported the last upload and for -whatever kind of

reason- it has been deleted.

 

If someone else could make another additional mirror, just to clarify, that for every upload the will report,

we make two new ones :D That would be nice. Thanks in advance! If that won't work, too, we could also

seed it via Piratebay to reach even more users. ;)

munky, it looks like ioreg truncates lines based on your terminal window size wether you redirect output to a file or not. I just made the terminal window 2047 columns wide. It wouldn't go any further. There *still* a few lines that got truncated, but hopefully nothing important.

hmmm... that seems a bit {censored} :thumbsup_anim:

 

hopefully np_ will be able to make sense of the output anyway, as well as your console trace.... fingers crossed we'll get this card working yet :censored2:

 

EDIT: what about getting it recognised as PCIe bus? maybe that would help? np_ said its IOPCIFamily which does it... need to find the device of your mobo CPU to PCIe bridge.

that system.log output looks no different than before.

the only difference between that and mine (an x1600 that is blackscreen'ing) is this line:

Jan 24 14:47:46 localhost kernel[0]: display: vram [b0000000:10000000]

whereas in yours its vram [d0000000:10000000]

 

what about your windowserver.log?

Okay... I'm posting from the apple store. :thumbsup_anim: here's ioreg -l. And I grabbed the gl frameworks as well.

GEEZ ! apple get worse every day more that more

 

from that ioregs i can see clearly ATI did not use IOFramebuffer but IONDRVFramebuffer - what s**t

 

anyway the output is very usefull,

 

ajv , now please if you can do same ioreg -l but on your machine

 

one with ATI**GL.* (if you got black screen try please get output with ssh shell) and one without that ATI**GL.*

 

and post please

 

damn why i don't have ATI around LOL :censored2:

 

thanks

np_ : i beleive he already posted his ioreg -l above (the first one he posted was from his osx86 PC afaik)

 

also, i notice the IOPCIFamily from 10.4.4 is matching on device 0x00261011 which is "DEC 21154 PCI-PCI bridge", in case this helps.

sorry you are right i get that outputs too

 

seems on general ATI**.kext did not recongnise card at all ( is not bus related ) probably is damn "Wormy"

 

hardcoded in driver but this can be modifited

 

i will check that out and let you know

 

but now i must go to sleep ...

I've attached the ioreg -l output from my system with ATIRadeonX1000GL.bundle removed and no framework changes. With the bundle in place is posted above in this thread.

 

Here's the relevant output from windowserver.log with the 10.4.4 frameworks and the crash to console:

to me this means that Apple just did what they usually do for their PPC ATI cards, but this time instead of loading firmware from the card's ROM they are loading it from EFI, as a module/driver. And that NDRV was probably for compatibility reasons or simply because they already had that code done for PPC and just adapted it for Intel side... bottom line is they were cutting costs :)

ok before to go sleep i do deassembly ATIDriver.bunle

 

and i can't see EFI involved in some way for now but need to that be check deeply

 

but there is new think like AppleSence seems to work on 10.4.4 - also IODisplay too

 

that very big progress from apple side, need also to checkout darwin last sources - strange they are PPC only for now ...wonder why (http://darwinsource.opendarwin.org/10.4.4.ppc/)

 

tomorow i will deassembly rest ATI**.kext's

 

good night

Just wanted to give a big thanks to np_, munky and others who are helping with this. I only know enough about drivers and kernel modules to load or remove them in order to get hardware working. Writing or debugging them is beyond my present knowledge and interest. :thumbsup_anim: I'll stick to userland programming thank you.

someone has graciously sent me a link to the 10.4.4 frameworks:

EDIT: Removed content violating DMCA - Metrogirl 17th February 2006

anyone feel like mirroring somewhere other than rapidshare?

i waited an hour just to be told "my ip"was allready downloading a file....

15 minutes later my b/w excedes....
