Got sleep working 100%. I was using the right framebuffer already (tried all of them per tonymacx86's post - http://www.tonymacx86.com/graphics/41092-ati-amd-5xxx-6xxx-graphics-cards-framebuffer-personalities.html - and no other framebuffer loaded the system). The problem had to do with OSX...

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried screen sharing and the computer is waking fine from sleep although with no display. I also tried to run the computer with a different screen connected to DVI - not using the miniDP on my graphics card and sleep worked perfectly. I guess this confirms my...

Thanks for your reply. I have the following for Kernal Flags: <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>darkwake=0 npci=0x3000</string> I tried without darkwake but it did not make any difference. It is weird cause I had no problems with sleep in Lion. I wonder if it has something to do with my...

Thanks for a great guide! Was able to get ML up and running in no time. Only thing I did different from your guide was running SSDT i5. The one issue I have is waking from sleep. Computer goes to sleep no problems but when I wake it the screen stays blank. I can hear harddrive startup and...

illmatic24: Not sure if it make sense to upload files since I use vanilla kexts with only one edit. Here is a "fail-safe" step by step guide for what I did: 1. Use only vanilla Lion 10.7 kexts. To be clear, if your problem is similar to mine, you do not have to use any ATI kexts from 10.6.7 or...

I am running Lion 10.7 with vanilla kexts on ATI 5770 (XFX HD-577X-ZMF3) and ACD 27” connected to MiniDP with full acceleration and in 64bit. Cinebench score of 37. Anyways, here is what I did. Used vanilla kexts for 10.7. Copied ATI5000Controller.kext from SLE to desktop. Opened kext and...

Not sure if this will be of any help, but check out the post by calvintml here http://forum.netkas.org/index.php/topic,862.0.html. He talks about different DP ports and converters.

Awesome! It does make sense. I read somewhere that people are having problems with sleep when they have a USB drive connected to a USB 3.0 port and use MacPro3,1 as a model identifier. I guess MacPro3,1 did not support USB 3.0 ports. Everymac.com has a great directory of all Mac models and...

seim: Since your card injects as Uakari, you don't have to worry about the Vervet framebuffer--it won't work. If anything you should add Uakari to the ATI5000Controller kext, which you already tried. One thing you can check is that the aty_config values for the framebuffer you load in Lion...

Too bad it didn't help to run the RadeonFramebuffer. I am probably wrong, but am still inclined to think that the problem with dropping speed after sleep is unrelated to your graphics card. The real macs in the discussion you link to don't have the same graphics cards as you do they? I had...

Are you sure Chameleon and Chimera do not inject a framebuffer? Just because the system loads with the Radeon Framebuffer does not mean that a framebuffer is not injected prior to the system loading. It could be something else that causes the system to load the Radeon Framebuffer. There is...

Basically, this solution assumes that the problem with the MiniDP/DP not working is that the ATI5000Controller.kext in Lion 10.7 and 10.6.8 has a distinct reference card in mind. The ports on that reference card do not match up with the ports available on your card. What you need to do is to...

The warning that you can't use the ATI5000Controller kext in S/L/E after you edit it probably relates to that the kext has been loaded by the system at startup. That happens to me sometimes too. Wouldn't worry about it. The only other thing I can think of is that you try renaming one of the...

Not sure why the 10.7 kexts do not work for you. When you use the vanilla 10.6.7 kexts and type "ioreg | grep ATY" in terminal, I am assuming it says that you are using the Vervet framebuffer? Also, I assume you are running the latest Chimera and a DSDT from tonymac?, you have only 10.7...

This is how I made the edits: 1. copied ATI5000Controller.kext to desktop 2. edited Info.plist by replacing Langur with _Langur, leaving everything else as is 3. deleted ATI5000Controller.kext from S/L/E 4. copied ATI5000Controller.kext to S/L/E 5. opened terminal and ran: sudo chmod -R 755...
