AMD R9 290 (non X) on El Capitan

When u use Hawaii as FBname, the card will default to RadeonFramebuffer. Only framebuffers in AMD8000Controller are Exmoor and Baladi. Attach ur card's rom & IOJones output as zip file if possible.
Open DPCI Manager, click on the eye icon corresponding to R9 290, click on 'choose a destination folder'.

First of all, thanks ( Fl0rian, dr.kkarun ) for your help.


@dr.kkarun

Here are the files you mentioned.

I have attached Files (Framebuffer edits) that may help you. Try both framebuffers with the patch and FakeID. If neither of these work, then revert back to RadeonFramebuffer => inject nothing related to ATI.

I tried both framebuffes and patches (Baladi - Exmoor), and the results were the same on each case : Everything working OK with no problems at all (full QE/CI too) on DVI and DP ports. Finally I have the card running at 100% on El Capitan !!.

The only port that is not working properly is HDMI, it still works with intermittent black screen, noise and blinks.


Thanks for the help !!.

Just curious, does sleep work for you in 10.11?
There's a Radeon related issue in El Capitan, would be interesting if AMD8000.kext is affected, too.

@ Fl0rian

I didn't try yet, with the new framebuffer and patch I'm using now. Tonight, at home, I will see how it works and I'll let you know.

No, it didn't worked, I tried with HDMI and DP (no monitor with DVI right now).

I can see that it wake up from sleep state, but no image, just a black screen.

Okay, thanks for testing

Fl0rian,

Do you think R9 290X issues can be solved this way ?

About same issues: no multi screen, no sleep/awake...etc
and a bad flickering if IGFX is set as 1st display in bios. Too bad cause when IGFX is 1st display, sleep/awake just work normaly !

Thanks
