New EDID generator, help needed

[philip_petev]

The newedid.sh link is dead.
I have a 4540s with 3210M.
I ran the package in the Installer and It changed my System Profiler and I edited the plist file and corrected the name.

If there are tests you want me to do I'm here.

Here's the latest script. Both files should be in one and the same folder. Extract the archive, start the script in Terminal like this:

sudo bash -x /path/to/EDIDGen.sh

then copy the whole output from Terminal and post it here.

PS: I've already installe the script from the ProBook Installer, is that what causing these errors?

I believe I'm doing sth wrong.

Hm, check if the ioregpbi binary is executable and if it's not, make it executable with sudo chmod +x ./ioregpbi

OR

edit the script and replace ./ioregpbi with only ioreg (on lines 41, 42 and 44)

 

[sammikhail]

The script is executable and also I ran chown but the same output.

Not the script, the ioregpbi utility (which is in the archive with the script and should be extracted in the same folder as the script), when you execute a script with bash -x some_script, it doesn't matter if the script is executable or not.

I have a 4340s HM76 chipset with i3-3110m CPU - are you still looking for people with Ivy-Bridge to test your script?
Also sorry for asking this, what exactly does this purpose of the script?

Sure, I still don't have any test results on this platform with Ivy Bridge CPU, so if you have some time, download the archive from one of my previous posts, extract it somewhere, make sure both files are in the same folder and they are executable (chmod +x ./*) and then execute the script in Terminal like this:

sudo bash -x /path/to/EDIDGen.sh

Copy the whole output in the Terminal window and post it here.

The point of all this is for some reason OS X doesn't use the EDID information of every laptop internal display (except the information in the MacBooks) and this is a way to force it to use this information.

Not sure how relevant it is anymore, well, just for the record: "IODisplayConnectFlags" = <00080000>

Here is some output from Ivy, i5 3210M, intel 4000. Probook 4740s, 1600x900.

Hey,

i arrive this thread searching about hack's hd4000 capabilities for well detecting external displays. I have a probook 6470b with i5 3320. My displays are recognized as spdisplays_display Internal and spdisplays_display External so i can't use the native monitor resolution!! (im using DP->VGA).

There's a solution?

Cheers!

PD:
