Re: NEW! Kext installer/Manager undo/rollback (save my ass mode)
Awesome tool and videos StingRay. :clap:
I have a quick question. I had some issues with Video card so I moved these kexts.

Changed the settings in BIOS, plist as directed by MACMAN. System runs with full force.
Before changes Geekbench ( 32 bit) score was around 6000 now 13000.
Looks good as of now.
Updated using system software update.
Update was smooth as Silk. BTW apple says minor updates, file size is around 800 MB. A minor update. :shock:
Reboot NO KPs. I thought everything works perfect.
Wait
Audio not working.
Flash not working.
etc. etc. :banghead: :banghead:
Got back on...
Thanks a Mil Stark.
I did try that DSDT fix. it didn't work for me.

If I use framebuffer personality=Pithecia, Lion recognizes my Video card as AMD HD 6570 but sleep doesn't work. It goes crazy, I have to restart system.
If I don't use framebuffer personality, Lion recognizes...
I figured it out. It is DVD drive ( ASUS) that's causing the problem.
Strange but true. If I use Z68 SATA port for DVD chimera is super slow.
If I use Marvel SATA port Chimera is super quick.
Thanks anyway.
Gordo,
I have a similar system. I was having trouble Chimera loading super slow. Around 32 seconds. I figured out the problem problem was CD/DVD rom ( ASUS).
:banghead:
If my DVD drive is in Intel Z68 controlled SATA ports ( Marvel chipset SATA ports are empty ) Chimera takes a longtime to...
You can try
AtiConfig=(your videocard personality) AtiPorts=( how many number of prots video card has)
Try them first as Arguments at Chimera boot up screen. Later you can add them to plist.
Re: after Chimera 1.9 update and system boots slow
mv /System/Library/Extensions/RadeonMonitor.kext /kextBackup/System/Library/Extensions/
reboot
Surprise didn't give any KP. It started normally. But point to note is I have changed the my plist to use Monitor=Pithecia and AtiPorts=3.
"Boot...
"Now I understand GraphicsEnabler=No is a framebuffer"
yes, if no personality ( Bulrushes, Pithecia etc..) are set, use GraphicsEnabler=No. To my knowledge GE=No is kind of default. It loads default Kexts (drivers).
Just make sure video card in PCI slot 1. If 16 in slot one of 16 if 8 slot one...
Correct use GraphicsEnabler=Yes with Aticonfig=...???
Two ways
1) Pass arguments through Chimera at boot up
2) Change plist.
Looks like you have tried all. May be Mini HDMI issue.
Pithecia and 3 works for me.
DVI works only if HDMI is connected. Shows as dual monitor.
Regular HDMI thats...
HDMI and DVI connected to same display

Thanks a mil MACMAN :ugeek: , I will try it and post it.
My bigger worry is why is my Chimera loads so slow. It takes 35 seconds. It used to load under 6 seconds.
Is there a log I can check? Kernel.log is not helping me.
I have Saphire ATI Radeon HD 6570 card and with some issues. HDMI/DVI works. VGA not tested.
BUTTTTTT
I am not using any frame buffer personalities. My Chimera loads super slow takes 35 seconds to load, to the point where I select OS.
I think I am using Chimera bdmesg shows...
