Azimutz, McKibble - RE: ATI x1300
To confirm, my 10.6.8 is fully functional with full res/QE/CI (settings here)... so again, Azimutz, I really THANK YOU!
...
I almost just hit buy on a $60 no-fan Asus ATI GT520 (the whole "good enough for iMovie + no fan silence" thing is why i like the little x1300 so much)... but then, 10.6.8 is fine for what i need to accomplish... so i'm going to lick my Lion wounds in a 10.6.8 partition for now... i'll probably check back here from time to time... if anyone really wants to get a hold of me, my personal email gets pinged for new comments here... Azimutz, thank you!! i wish everyone good luck and happy crackintoshing.
Beej, finally... don't go away just yet
as i already mentioned, can't help much on the Lion side.
But still, about the booter and 10.6.7/8, i went through your posts and got one doubt...
you mention on your settings:
-PLUS- 10.6.8 needed EvoEnabler with Sphyrna framebuffer
Do you still have to use EvoEnabler?
It seems i missed the "Sphyrna" detail and set Caretta
instead; well, i just assumed that most people wont benefit of
dual link DVI (Sphyrna); they both have just one port, but Caretta's is
single link DVI.
Besides this detail, i did fixed a typo on
r1327, as mentioned some posts
above, not framebuffer related.
About the packages, the ones you mention had no changes related with the legacy module,
besides adding devices and trunk changes!.. so, i don't know what could possibly have affected your boot?!
In case of doubt always use the most recent package, even if only to get the trunk updates.
Talking about recent, i did made some changes to ATiGraphicsEnabler module;
since r1335 we can also use AtiConfig to specify the framebuffer just like on the new code (trunk),
e.g. in your case, if you still use EvoEnabler you may be able to ditch it, by adding AtiConfig=Sphyrna to the Boot.plist (key/string).
If you do use the key
typed at the boot prompt, don't type anything else but the key!
if you get curious, try typing
AtiConfig=Sphyrna Wait=y -v
and look for the "Framebuffer" message...
Also added auto framebuffer switching according to the OS version; e.g. on your case this means that,
if booting 10.6.7 or below, the
old list will be used and you'll get Megalodon as default because your dev id is not there,
else the
new list will be used and Caretta is the default for your dev id.
That's it, on the legacy world
