ATI Framebuffer development

Ztardust · November 26, 2008

It's not sure it will work... I've read that the Wormy framebuffer was compatible only with X1600 and above. Have you tried adding "Graphics Mode" value in com.apple.Boot.plist ?

Anyway, give it a try, and report. If it works, lucky you!

The "Graphics Mode" only works for resolutions lower than 1024x768 for me...

But thanks for your suggestion.

Using ATI Tray Tools in windows I was able to get a lot of possibly useful info on my card including register locations and output info. I am guessing this info is read from the card bios.

Correct.

The wormy framebuffer is not compatible with my card. I didn´t get this to work.

I really don´t see many options, I´ll try to modify the RadeonHD kext, as well as looking at trying to get ATI.kext + ATILead.kext working for my card... but I really don´t know what I am doing...

Try a solution by lebidou
http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...91042&st=74

One question... the solution lebidou applies here, is not using the new framebuffer is it?

He is using the wormy driver/framebuffer, not the ATIPC one?

Or perhaps am I misunderstanding something..?

Ypu're right, I use Wormy

Ypu're right, I use Wormy

So, your solution doesn´t really have anything to do with the framebuffer development, I guess? That´s what made me a bit confused here... :blink:

But at least you got your card working...

Hey Developer Guys!

Just a small technical question.

We know that the only Ati X1x00 driver which detects LVDS port is the Wormy (Ati X1600).

Once back in a while i checked in that driver what strings i can find about with LVDS.

These might be function names which are in ATY_Wormy:

_CheckLVDSConnection

_HW_InitLVDS

_HW_LVDSDither

_HW_LVDSOnOff

None of these are in ATY_Caretta (and in the rest of them too).

If you already made some disassemling, how hard it would be to get these functions out from the Wormy driver and stick them into the Caretta ?

Or you need this whole framebuffer-development either way ?

There might be some other functions too related to this, and probably the signal story needs some more, but what if this could work alone ?

Thanx &

Keep up the good work :thumbsup_anim:

dong · December 9, 2008

Not only we don't know if these functions will work in Caretta or not, also you need the whole Caretta source to do the compiling thing. I did try to reverse engineer the Caretta driver, but found out it much more complicated than what I think.

Anybody who's interested could take a look at the source code I got so far here: Caretta.zip

And as a warning to you, the code contains quite a lot mistakes in it.

Hey Dong... Most unsupported cards can boot up in the default resolution 1024x768... Could there be some way of changing that default resolution(in the bootloader?), to 1280x800 for an example?

-Ztardust

dong · December 9, 2008

Ztardust,

What you mean depends on the VESA modes that bootloader can support, until now I have no knowledge of it yet.

ridgeline · December 9, 2008

I don't get VESA I get ATI Atombios??????

Slice · December 9, 2008

I don't get VESA I get ATI Atombios??????

Please, be more correct. Why you think that VESA has a relation to ATOMBIOS?

OK. We need to continue a development of the driver. Without knowning of C++ it is empty talking.

Dong! You are our last hope!

Well, this is quite an achievement! What did you use ? IDA Pro ?

By the way it looks really tough.. Drivers are the most technical things for development. If disassembling would be fully automated, and we could check out other X1x00 ones too, like Alopias, Sphyrna, and there would be noticable differences in all of them compared to the Wormy one, then maybe, this LVDS thing would be easier. Otherwise, we would a need an ATI mac driver developer right now !

That would make things faster for sure..

I have Xcode and stuff now, if i could help something. But i am quite new into this objective-c thing too, i think all i can do about now is to press the Build button

I miss some diagnostic tools for the mac, and programs like Atitool. That would give some more control for sure..

The bad thing is, even if you guys manage to build this laptop-screen driver, then there is still another tiny problem for our laptops : powerplay. Now i think the chips are running on high performance clock rates all the time, which is not a good news for battery usage..

Anyway, that would be easier to fix at that point for sure ...

Cyntek · December 10, 2008

Hey guys, how's the development comming along?.

Well, Im running iDeneb V.1.3-10.5.5 release AMD Athlon 64 2800 MSI K8M Neo-V, and VIA 8237 Chipset, with AGP ATI 9600 SE 128MB Card., Wanted to ask, How do you apply these test builds to leo?. I would like to help out with this test, if possible. It would be really greate if there was some kind Tut, on how to implement the configuration and what needs to edited, to what file and such if you can help me out with it. Thanks.

dong · December 11, 2008

yes, IDA Pro on WinXP.

No, it's not objective-C, it's C++.

Bandes · December 13, 2008

yes, IDA Pro on WinXP.

No, it's not objective-C, it's C++.

I C !

And how does it compile ? That would be a good thing, if it would get compiled with gcc, and then it would work..

Ztardust · December 18, 2008

I modified a couple of kexts, and used ATIinject, and managed to get my x1300 mobility graphics card recognised as ATI x1600 mobility in the system profiler, but it was still not able to use the wormy framebuffer, so I was stuck at 1024x768.

I found an interesting blog where someone was saying they had managed to get the x1400 working perfectly in linux by using a driver made for x700, just by changing the devideID. Perhaps a x700 driver in OSX can be modified to work with the x1300 and x1400...(I´ve tried but not managed to get it working myself). Another alternative could perhaps be modifying the hd2300 drivers.

ultrahang · December 20, 2008

Guys,

I replaced my laptop therefore I don't have any test machine for X1400, but I can share the ati kexts from 10.6_10a222 with the opengl and quartz frameworks. There is a separate kext for the X1300 controller and there is a separate kext for the atifb with a very interesting info.plist, maybe it is worth to give a shot with this as well.

atigfx_snowleo.tar.bz2

However I am not interested but still curious so please share the results

My laptop use ati mobility radeon x1300,only I can do is open QE/CI,but there is serious mouse tearing,the resolution is locked to 1024*768!I have close widescreen in bios so as to see clearly!I will try your kext and report results

Btw. EDID information in RadeonDump lead to segfault. I will test other versions of it aswell.

And last but not least, an Xbench score (GL tests were performed, however I only saw a black window).

1. How did you run XBench if you can't enter GUI?

2. Black window in OpenGL test means you have bad Accelerator and GLDriver.bundle. What did you use ATIRadeonX1000 or ATIRadeonX2000?

3. Probably you can't obtain EDID by RadeonDump. Try to do that from other operating system, WinXP for example. And then inject it into no,EDID section.

1. How did you run XBench if you can't enter GUI?
2. Black window in OpenGL test means you have bad Accelerator and GLDriver.bundle. What did you use ATIRadeonX1000 or ATIRadeonX2000?

3. Probably you can't obtain EDID by RadeonDump. Try to do that from other operating system, WinXP for example. And then inject it into no,EDID section.

1. I had to disable Ati.kext (or ATILead.kext, dont know, just disabled both). Probably some error in my info.plist. Will try XBench after I got that working. I got this screen:

Update - confirmed, ATILead.kext causes the crash. Is this due to the EDID part? I currently have "no,EDID" on 2 places, followed by the EDID that was present.

2. They both did not exist on my system. I did not know though, so I will try putting ATIRadeonX1000.kext and reboot. Is there anything I need to change? I expected something like bad accelerator/gl driver. Just odd it did not mention that.

Update - adding my device id to ATIRadeonX1000.kext was a bad idea, instant freeze .

Dec 27 23:17:14 macpro31 Xbench[254]: *** Break on _NSLockError() to debug.

3. Is there any boot CD or something to get that? Maybe I can extract it from my bios somehow? Cause I would have to install XP completely as I have only OSX Leopard on my laptop for now.

I will play around a bit with the files/kexts, but i dont know exactly what which file does. I always have them backed up, so no worries.

Update - my kextstat
