ML with Gigabyte HD5870 - No FB nor HDMI Audio

[coldharbor]

I've read and read and tried many combinations within the org.chameleon.Boot.plist. I always receive the following terminal outputs:


localhost:~ XXXXXX$ ioreg | grep ATY
| | | | +-o ATY,ATY,RadeonFramebuffer@0 <class AtiFbStub, id 0x100000370, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (4874 ms), retain 8>

My dual screens are connected via HDMI to HDMI and DP to HDMI, the DVI is unconnected (3 ports total). I get 1920x1080 on both screens with the HDMI always coming up primary and the second display DP to HDMI coming up once the desktop loads.

My current org.chameleon.Boot.plist is:

Also tried all with EasyBeast and MultiBeast 4.61 with DSDT file. Any further suggestions?

Azalia optical audio is working fine.

Thank you.

No difference after MultiBeast 5.0.1 ... suppose I'll leave well enough alone.

I gave up on the DP/HDMI and switched to DVI to HDMI and HDMI to HDMI and this now gives me,,,

...on dual monitors.

No System ID for the 5870, but this is a major improvement...now onto HDMI audio...

I'll post a request in Chimera forum since there is no subsystem ID for my card in current ati.c file.

subsystem ID 1458:21e5

Fabio includes the Gigabyte HD5870 in his EmaC branch, however, that just reboots my machine immediately with a flash of white and no text...so back to Chimera 1.11.1 in order to boot.
