ole2 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 here is how you may help: important before start sequence: - don't expect help with Leopard ahead of Tiger (we have some people weaker hardware for Leo to be installed now) - backup original kext's first! - don't jump above steps, follow each of them with advanced feedbacks (not just like this: "it's not working for me") step1: first manage to extract your ATI device PCIID (it must look something like 1002:79XX) we already have 2 ID's for testing - 1002:7942 mine, 1002:791F - BigBoi step2: apply extracted PCIID to ATIRadeonX2000.kext (yes, ATIRadeonX1000 isn't our one, it's for R500 chipsets) restart and check for side effects, describe them here in public thread step3: download IOPCIFamily.kext redeveloped by Chun-Nan from here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=81048 install his kexts by replacing originals (don't forget to backup them first) keep ATIRadeonX2000.kext changed one (with your card PCIID) restart and check for side effects, describe them here in public thread step4: download ATI1Slice.kext developed by Slice from here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...st&p=582921 apply extracted PCIID to ATI1Slice.kext keep ATIRadeonX2000.kext changed one (with your card PCIID) keep Chun-Nan's IOPCIFamily.kext restart and check for side effects, describe them here in public thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBoi Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Awesome Oleg, I'm going to apply this to my system tonight and report back in this thread. Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBoi Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Here we go: 1st test (Leopard instance) Step 2 (Dropped ID into ATI 2000 kext, loaded kext and rebooted): Some strange behavior. When I move windows, they become transparent. I still can't change my resolution nor do I have QE/CI. Step 3 (Installed IOPCIFamily.kext, loaded and rebooted): Same behavior as listed above. Step 4 (Installed ATISlice.kext, loaded and rebooted): Same as before, except I have more in the system profiler. (See screenshot) 2nd Test (Tiger 10.4.9 Uphuck Universal) Step 2: There wasn't an ATIRadeonX2000.kext, so I copied the one from Leopard. Loaded it. Rebooted, nothing seemed to have changed at all. Step 3: Same. Nothing changed Step 4: Only change is the system profiler view. A little more info, same as the screenshot below. Let me know if I can do anything else.

ole2 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Here we go: 1st test (Leopard instance) 2nd Test (Tiger 10.4.9 Uphuck Universal) here are some notes about test reports and what else you may do: - avoid using kext files from Leo inside Tiger (with 90% probability they will not work stable/correct due to upgrade in HW/kernel API's) - download 10.4.10 version osx86 (KaliWay, MacDotNub, or someone another). such package already contain SATA and ATIRadeonX2000 kexts - test IOPCIFamily.kext/IOPCMCIAFamily.kext with it first, make sure you know audio condition (famous bug - audio/FireWire malfunction) as well as overall performance degradation (if any). see Monitor application for overall performance comparison (System is interesting section for us) - test ATI1Slice.kext with ATIRadeonX2000.kext pair with F8 value set to 67,108,864 (= 64M, see ATI1Slice.kext/Contents/Info.plist). first as usual only ATIRadeon, then pair ATI1Slice + ATIRadeon. do same performance analysis.

obsidian23 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 For the records: The ID of my X1250 is 1002:791e. It's an Asus/M2A-VM. Will try this method if I can resurrect the installed OSX... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allyant Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 "Pestering driver writers & hackers" I haven't seen anyone stating that they are/will be producing drivers for this, so how can I be pestering someone if I don't know who they are.....

ole2 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 i have tried "Graphics Mode"="1280x800x32" in com.apple.Boot.plist but no effect!! this is exactly same picture I have. you may try to attach external display, then you'll see normal picture (don't know about QE/CI yet). this is due to absence of ATI Framebuffer, the one has to be ported on top of ATOMBIOS/EDID obtained from ATI chipset. follow topic for the progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ole2 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 is there a driver on X1250? ati mobility x1200 series is back in Acer ZA8 NetBooks. (see description here) have a look on new framebuffer developed by Dong in here, it's working with this series and support resolution change. so you'll be able to get your native LCD/TFT finally!

I'm gonna let my system profile. Chipset model: Radeon X1200 Type: Display Bus: PCI VRAM (total): 128 MB Vendor: ATI (0x1002) Device ID: 0x791e Revision ID: 0x0000 Display: Resolution: 1440 x 900 @ 60 Hz Depth: 32-Bit Color Core Image: Software Main display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Not Supported Thanks in advance.

Device ID: 0x791e you may try following method first, but apply your DevID 1E79 instead 8A71 one recommended there. and as usual, don't forget to post here your results, others will be waiting.

rstets Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 hooray! x1250 works at 1280x800 using this guide http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...8/Portables#ZA8 in iDeneb 1.4 (10.5.6) strange cursor problem though... still working on it. and "software" CI / "not supported" QE in system profiler but still the native resolution rocks! I've been waiting for this for a long time. long live Dong!! %))) proof pic attached update: ok. no more cursor problem. it appears that I have install the wrong kext at first - not the one from the ZA8 guide above, but the one from this topic http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1321567 - the one from ZA8 has no "enableHWCursor" node in info.plist at all and it shows the cursor fine for me.
