New AGPGart

[ANtrah]

ANtrah, what CPU, Chipset, AGPGart you have there?

 

Intel Pentium 4 3.2GHz HT all Working

Gigabyte - GA-8I865GME all Working

ATI X1300 Pro AGP Working Status: No display connected

 

JaS 10.4.8 All working

ToH 10.5.1 working ATI X1300PRO AGP NO DISPLAY

Gigabyte - GA-8I865GME all Working

ATI X1300 Pro AGP Working Status: No display connected

But how you got it recognized as AGP?

The second Display ist not connected?

Hi Slice,

 

This is the output of my windowserver.log

It doesnt seem out of the ordinary to me. I tried to find something in the logs that could help you and the only thing I could find out of the ordinary was this line in my system.log its repeated about 50 times

Dec 19 04:33:22 eric-rezns-computer kernel[0]: Graphics chip error! Restarted.

 

And let me explain what happens in detail once my system boots with the agpgart: the system boots and then when it looks like its about to start up both screens turn blue then after a little while the left screen turns black(right one stays blue) and the mouse cursor appears and I can move it around and from one screen to the other.

 

Hope this helps somehow

Bus: AGP

VRAM (Total): 256 MB

Vendor: ATI (0x1002)

Device ID: 0x7142

How can you explain the Bus: AGP?

What version of AGP driver do you have????

 

No display connected - there is another VGA output. The main output works!

 

2 rezn

You have no graphics output Sorry, it is AGPGart problem.

 

2 aivarz

As I see you have OpenGL crashes. It is information too!

You have the same pc as I do except for PCEFI and you seem to have better UI perf as I do.

 

Can you run a benchmark with glview in 1280x1024@32 bit ? if you can't as that rez, in 1024x760@32bit.

 

edit : ive just compared my Xbench with AGPGART 249 and u r twice faster as me : ie in rectangle mode, and worst UI=48 on my computer !!

explain me which file u r using cause it seems to works 100% on ur config maybe it's PC EFI V8

Thanks in advance

[realfolkblues]

Hi i tryed to get agp working on leopard but all i get is a black screeen with a mouse. does anyone have help for this? tryed 2.4, 2.2, and 2.1.

yes, correctly installed PC_EFI_V8 was "the key" (plus some bios tweaking)

What is your config?

 

2 izmael

Thank you for the solution! Good luck!

 

For other.

I made new version 2.6.0. It is combination of AGPGart 2.4 and AGPGart64 2.5.

New version - new mistakes?

It contains new values for customizing

			<key>AGP_Mode</key>
		<integer>0x0fffffef</integer>

Default value 0xffffffff

First digit 0 instead of f - trying to reduce Request Size

Digit e instead of f - trying to disable Fastwrite. It may be usefull for overclocked systems.

Not happy - revert it to default values.

 

			<key>IOAGPFlags</key>
		<integer>5</integer>

Possible values

1 - as HackintoshAGP (for SIS chipset)

5 - as MacMini with Radeon9000

7 - another real Mac

0x27 - all possible flags, except 0x10000

0x10027 - as in AGPGart249

0x10005 - as in AGPGart21 by joblo

Is the any information what is the best? I dunno.

Looking good Slice, but alas, it's not working for me.

 

I'm using an AGP Nvidia 6200, on an Asus A8V-MX (VIA K8T800 Chipset). I used the 0x0ffffff and 0x27 flags. Not sure if I'm using the correct ones though.

It does show a nice fade animation from the blue to the black screen though >_>

 

Anybody know what (if) boot flags work for and AGP 6200 on a VIA K8T800 chipset?

[cyclonefr]

ok guys calm down i get the same result without pcefi lol

same perf

doesnt work at all

 

really bad results = same as izmael

 

SLice ive tested 2.60 still working here is the DMESG, but no acceleration under opengl or UI performance test

it's getting me mad

 

Izmael can u relaunch a fresh Xbench cause i dont get ur UI perf? compared to OPENGL extension tester. Did u check games? such as call of duty 2 i really don't think u ve more performance at all i get the same results. what is your aperture size in your bios?

try installing pc efi v8 and check ioreg

 

aperture 256 with warning, but working the same

[cyclonefr]

You don't answer at all my question... can you reboot and redo a xbench in 1280x1024@60Hz and try Call of Duty 2 if you can (demo on macupdate) or WoW and everything maxxed it should be like 15fps (unplayable)

 

I get the exact same perf w/out PCEFI in GLVIEW so I think it doesn't work.. xbench might be wrong 'cuz it's bugged

why don't try it by yourself? (pc efi v8 or v6 with x1600 bootloader, using unmodified original 10.4.5 atindrv.kext + 10.4.7 iondrvsupport.kext + adding 71c2 to atiradeonx1000.kext) next do an ioreg and compare...

my opengl result tests were fresh

i won't download these demos

... and if your performance is exact the same as me, i can't see what's your problem. (but... you said your UI performance in xbench is 48, mine is over 135, there's a difference)

try yoga or bach's flower therapy

and pc efi, and compare, you are the master... no?

bye

 

(note for other users: agpgart v.2.4.9 is working for me with pc efi v8. it supports natively only a few video cards [with bootloaders on v6 or adding device id's in com.apple.boot.plist on v8], the most close to a real mac, in this case a radeon x1600 pro)

ok u wanna play with an insanelymac legend (maybe i should refresh ur memory : ive made the X1600Pro package for tiger n leopard), anyway here to prove u Im right his my ioreg after using pcefi v6x1600

xbench still slow as hell (i suggest u relaunch ur xbench) anyway xbench is not working it has been proved for a while, and i get the same result under opengl extension benchmark uve used.

I wish u were right and it was working, im using the exact same configuration as yours as u can see in my signature. Im not looking for any challenge here, im just trying to find a working solution.

 

Now dare to say AGPGART 249.zip work. Except u have a version that isnt linked in this forum.

 

ps: slice is the ioreg, i dont think it will show u something new ive already gave u.

Deep respect 2u but I still think that you are not right. I made all possible for Intel AGP bus according to Intel documentations for 865 chipset and AGP3.0 specification and month ago said you: "You really have working AGP driver, check all other Video drivers".

Look at your ioreg and izmael's ioreg. Is it the same?

Compare

Why SCLK (system clock) differ significantly while RefCLK is the same? This is natit settings or PCEFI.

 

2 all

AGPGarp can't solve all problems with graphics, it is only accelerator. First of all check do you really have working full speed hardwareOpenGL in PCI mode, i.e. without AGPGart. Second - how much the AGPGart may increase your graphics.

Moreover sometimes videodriver doesn't work at all in agp mode. I encounter a problem with Callisto 003. Disable it to check.

just normal im running ATY wormy driver from 10.4.10 (ATINDRV) meanwhile he runs ATINDRV .5 (older, and text are blurry in high resolution) that explains the clock difference. Anyway i was running ATINDRV .5 for a while didnt change. I guess all the other registry are identical twins right? (ive deleted Natit if u were wondering about it).

 

I still stay on my position that WE have the same OPENGL result under OPENGL extension benchmark (i even got 10 points more in all category u can check on the tiff ive attached above).

 

For me it never worked that's for sure, from the first day i was trying with Joblo, then CSoft then with you Slice. Something is missing defintly. My brother has a Macbookpro with X1600 if u want i can show you the gap between AGP and PCIE under opengl extension benchmark to proove you it has nothing to do.

 

I'd like to understand (and check) how Izmael had 4 times better score under UI meanwhile i had better score under Opengl extension benchmark. Anyway believe or me, take more tester, no 1 is having I865 working for sure + AGP.

U want I check other ioregs settings? I can. Their differ!

I still stay on my position that WE have the same OPENGL result under OPENGL extension benchmark (i even got 10 points more in all category u can check on the tiff ive attached above).

OpenGL essential uses AGPGart. Both fork as AGP bus settings as Gart table. In ur dmesg I saw good AGP settings, in ur ioreg I saw that gart table is in use. Half a year I check it trying to find solution for my Radeon9000. You know as I carefully check all bits in the driver. As you have good working glviewer test you have working AGPGart. The problem is in video driver.

For me it never worked that's for sure, from the first day i was trying with Joblo, then CSoft then with you Slice. Something is missing defintly. My brother has a Macbookpro with X1600 if u want i can show you the gap between AGP and PCIE under opengl extension benchmark to proove you it has nothing to do.

Joblo wrote a perfect driver. I proved. I had doubts in all letters, in all digits. No missing.

Real Mac is not Hackintosh. The big difference is in EFI.

For example Radeon9000 works on real mac with QE/CI. On hackintosh - never.

I'd like to understand (and check) how Izmael had 4 times better score under UI meanwhile i had better score under Opengl extension benchmark. Anyway believe or me, take more tester, no 1 is having I865 working for sure + AGP.

Version 249 downloaded 123 times and only 4 bad reports. Version 260 is beta, dowloaded 36 times and only 1 bad report. All these reports with nVidia AGP. I have no any method to check what is wrong for it.

UI is bad because of SCROLL method supported by FrameBuffer driver i.e. ATY_Wormy.

Standard set of questions: where is your ioreg and dmesg? Are you using PCEFI? Are you sure that nvinject is good for AGP video? Have you working QE/CI w/o AGP?

Forget AGPLight 1.0! This is a claim from joblo.

ok we disagree anyway slice u may have forgoten to see izmael is having same result with n without agpgart and UI= 140 even in PCI mode so something is weird. Believe what u want.but even if your gart sets io registry doesn't mean is used correctly. Take an x1000 or whatever run a game or scroll under safari u will see. Regard and no offense my friend.

 

As im willing to show u my compliance here is my Xbench 1.3 result running AGPGART 2.6.0 with the same info.plist as IZMAEL and my ioreg
