Radeon HD 5800 and MacPro

When I boot in verbose -v

 

[carbondry]

Now working again. I'm not sure if I was lucky this time.

 

[carbondry]

Ok, makng some progress.

I installed all the kexts you asked me in the right order. I booted into mac os x with no panic, but now I have a blank screen with a flash led on my monitor.

I assume this is where we test the framebuffers?

 

[netkas]

yeah, so next one, will make kext in a few

 

[eniu]

Hey

I have the XFX 5870 XXX-Edition, I will test the kext's too. If I've some results i'll post them.

#3

Douc

btw, the kext is 32-bit only for now

 

[jeanlain]

I'have a Error-Message like this:

System extension cannot be used
The system extension "/System/Library/Extensions/ATY_Init.kext" was installed improperly ... and so on

I just copied the file into the "/System/Library/Extensions" Folder is that wrong?

Use a tool like Kext Helper. Just dropping it in doesn't work.

Thanks it works fine with Kext Helper 0.7. Now let's try to install the controller etc.

EDIT: Kernel Panic. I will edit the pictures of verbose output in a few min.

EDIT2: Output attached. How can i uninstall the kext's now so that i can boot my Hackintosh normally without kernel panic. I've acces to the Mac-Partition via Windows can i delete the kext's and boot with bootoption -x ?

 

[carbondry]

Two questions

Do I replace the current aty_init ?
As I have the other framebuffer kexts, do I leave them intact, or do I uninstall and reinstall again?

 

[netkas]

eniu, it's not for leopard, it's for 10.6.4 snow leopard,

however some log of aty_init on ur screen is usefull for me

I have been doing it by going into windows and using macdrive and deleting them from the file system. Or you can do it from a linux live CD.

 

[arondutzu]

I'm getting the exact same error as eniu sorry i didn't post some screens earlier.. i'm using 10.6.4

 

[eniu]

Someone knows ho i can get Snow Leo. on a PC(no MAC)? Can someone post a link to a Tut. There is no iDeneb or something for Snow Leo, isn't?

Btw: Sorry for Off-Topic

 

[netkas]

reupped new kext in post #56

 

[MacVidCards]

found the error, it was a little typo, here is fixed.

whoa, you guys have been busy.

this one seems not to have changed much.

 

[netkas]

Rominator, you somehow have old kext, new one already can make 5870 to be identified

 

[MacVidCards]

Did you update the one in Post #24?

Pretty sure that's one I used.

Will try latest anyway now.

 

[netkas]

yay, we got framebuffer working on 5870, its Uakari, will post a kext in a few, it could depend on bios dump a lot tho.

here it is, uakari fb with bios dump from rominator.

 

[Durendal]

YAY! I'm about ready to pick up a 5870 myself. Got a buddy with a Vapor-X he's willing to sell me. Nothing like a little incentive!

 

[carbondry]

Does this mean that the 5870 now works with hardware acceleration?

 

[carbondry]

Yes please post it and I will post here my experiences with it for other to see

 

[MacVidCards]

So CLOSE !!!

kext from #56 got id'd

nothing from DVI ports, digging out my Display Port to Dual Link Adapter

fingers crossed

 

[netkas]

Here is for vapor-x
this kext is currently make one vapor-x 5870 to work.
second dvi port works.

Rominator, mac pro might need more work than hack, cuz maybe it needs card to be initiated.
