What resolution were you running? Running off displayport for me = no signal, running DVI at 2560x1440 = garbled screen, running DVI at 1080p = perfect (as perfect as 1080p could be, I guess)

Actual Res 1060x1050 don't have a monitor with more res sorry

Re: Guide - New ATI Kexts from iMac 10.6.7 Update - 5XXX/6XXX

Here some updates.

I tried every 6000 framebuffer via AtiConfig=xxxx -v

These did not even boot:

Code:

Pithecia Hydrilla Duckweed Mangabey

These boot with full resolution and QE/CI but with @RadeonFramebuffer in ioreg output and crashing geekbench:

Code:

Bulruhes Cattail Fanwort Elodea Kudzu Gibba Lotus Ipomoea Muskgrass Juncus

My system also boots with GraphicsEnabler=No again with full res and QE/CI and @RadeonFramebuffer.

Booting with PCIRootUID=1 just gives a blackscreen.

So notshy, please any suggestion?

If you boot with "GraphicsEnabler=No", does it boot fine? With Chimera and the ATI 1.6.34 drivers, your system should boot fine with "GraphicsEnabler=No", you should just end up without support for DVD Player, Steam, etc. You can also try "GraphicsEnabler=No PCIRootUID=0" and "GraphicsEnabler=No PCIRootUID=1" and see if either works successfully. You should at least be able to boot with GE=No with your current setup. That tells you the system is working properly except for the framebuffer.

Otherwise... I'd recommend trying a couple more framebuffers. Try "Eulemur", "Duckweed" and "Baboon". These only work when booting GE=Yes, of course.

Thanks for the help, Screen garbled starting with GraphicsEnabler=No with pciroot 1 or 0 same result.

Tried GraphicsEnabler=Yes
AtiConfig=Eulemur stops in SLOT---1 full aces thru Screen share,
AtiConfig=Duckweed reading vbios from legacy space ... Memory Allocation Error ... ERROR NON RECOVERABLE .
AtiConfig=Baboon stops in SLOT---1 full aces thru Screen share,

Please need help...
I tried with a Nvidia 9400Gt and works perfect (the same GE=Yes)
Thanks in advance

Hi Everyone. I am planning on buying apple 27 in display. I currently have a gtx 285 which works perfectly on my hackintosh. However the card does not have a mini display port needed for the new display. So instead of buying a pricey dual link converter I want to change the graphics to HD readon 6870 with Mini DP built in.

Can anybody advise which brand to choose?Sapphire, XFX or any other? Does it even matter which one I choose? (compatibility-wise)? Thanks in advance for help.

Get the superior CCFL-backlit cheaper Dell u2711 instead. Works great on my 5870 with displayport using the old kexts.

Hey Notshy? Have you gotten this to work with HDMI audio out properly yet? Graphics work fine on my system but the audio out to my TV via HDMI plays but with interruption every 2 or 3 seconds. Have you seen this yet?

Good to go with a 5750...had to add the Device ID to the ATI5000Controller.kext string but I've got full QE/CI and Cinebench comes in around 29 FPS. So far DVI & HDMI both work, testing the DisplayPort when my cable comes in the next few days...

May be a bit off topic but has anyone been able to get HDMI audio working with the new iMac ATI Kexts?
