Hi
I boot with Chimera 1.9.2. Osx 10.7.3.
I have an Asus EAH 5750 Formula Card.
It nearly worked out of the box except for a couple of things.
- The card sometimes crashes (very random, sometimes 3 times in a day, others it doesn't crash in a week days).
- The DVD player crashes and also the games that use Half life engine (Steam games).
The card works with GraphicsEnable=No, but I have the above problems. So I added the GraphicsEnables=yes flag to the Extra/org.chamaleon.Boot.plist and started to play with the framebuffers hoping I would find one that worked. No one worked. I tried all of them I think, specially the ones I've found inside the ATI5000Controller.kext / info.plist (Hoolock, Langur, Orangutan and Zonalis).
But nothing works. It seems that the card it's not properly detected.
When I get the computer properties it says it's an ATI RADEON HD 5000 instead of ATI RADEON HD 5700 (as I've seen on other posts).
bdmesg shows this information:
So the card is being detected properly (In this case I tried to set up the Uakari buffer). Anyway when I check with
ioreg | grep ATY
I still get the RadeonFramebuffer...
This is my boot.plist:
I have to say that I've tried with or withouth AtiPorts, with PCIRootUID=1, with npci=0x200, 0x3000....
And nothing... it seem's some part is missing somewhere and that the framebuffers are not there....
IS there something missing in Chimera about my card? Has anybody made this card work fully? What am I doing wrong?
Can anybody give me some help. Because after reading hundreds of posts and tried loads of things Im really lost...
