second port works, and it can help lappies, since second one is a main one

Another news, 10.5.1 update brings new cards support by osx drivers.
Looking at atiradeonx2000.kext i wrote small program which checks devid of radeon hd card in same way as x2000.kext

http://rapidshare.com/files/70873245/radeonhd_checker.html

example of using

$ ./radeonhd_checker 0x94c3
your card is 94C3
Radeon 2400 init :25edb
$ ./radeonhd_checker 0x9489
your card is 9489
BAD init (unsup card?) :25ab1
$ ./radeonhd_checker 0x9589
your card is 9589
Radeon 2600 pro/XT init :26041

Bringing back the order in OSX86

netkas — 2007-11-18T12:02:10Z

Hey, we got famous. And with fame, good and bad things come, as always.

Since we started a lot of people became interested in our project, but very few know the spirit behind it.

We use our energies, time and money on OSX86 because we love computers. We love to make the impossible real, and we love to explore all the possibilities that modern informatics give us.

We are not, in any possible way, pirates, and we do condemn piracy of Apple products and software as much as Apple itself does.

Developers own legally bought copies of OSX, and so you all should. It costs much less than Windows and it is much better than Windows. Buy it and then play with it, this is the spirit of OSX86, learn about it, become a better person out of this experience!

From this moment forth, we will have a tighter grip onto our IRC channels, no more pirate links or pirate talk will EVER be tolerated. How you obtain your software is YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY of adult people.

Apple produces amazing software and amazing computers. Do yourself a favour and support them as we do.

Donations and Sse2 kernel, and sleep kernel

netkas — 2007-11-16T18:43:21Z

After many peoples asked how can they donate me.. i Created WebMonney account (since paypal doesn't work for me)
wmtransfer.com
purse: Z391700088836
paypal users can use e.g. this service exwp.com
got so far 11.5$, need about 200$

Another news.
Thanks to Turbo , we now have source compiled ToH kernel with sse2 supports, which uses oui's(modified semthex's) emu.
Also u can find sse3/sse2(unversal) kernel which should be able to sleep(even on sse2) if ur hardware sllows to sleep with osx. this kernel can't make speedstep. (all kernels works with 10.5 and 10.5.1)
kernels sits at #10.5 channel topic

Also, we r waiting for some Radeon 3850/3870 owners to try it with osx :D

PC Efi v5.1

netkas — 2007-11-16T14:37:46Z

Main advantages of 5.1 - changed smbios kext, which will turn ur pc to a closed to real Mac Pro.
Also fixed multiboot, i forgot to remove hardcoded device . in 5.0 (about grun and bootlaoder)

#leopard at irc.osx86.hu

10.5.1 and 10.4.11 r out! updated

netkas — 2007-11-15T19:06:24Z

u do not need to wait for kernels for it if u have c2d based cpu and pc_efi :D

p.s. ati radeon hd users - backup atindrv.kext b4 udpating and restore it after finishing update (e.g. in single user mode)

p.p.s according to BorisBadenov, apple removed some devid from plists of new gfx kexts in 10.5.1, so jsut add ur devid to needed kext, to get back ur qe/ci

p.p.p.s u can grab compiled 10.5.1 kernel from #10.5 (speedstep/intel/amd/sse3)

PC efi V5.0 and first benefits of it.

netkas — 2007-11-14T17:41:03Z

This's bugfix release.
Changes:
- fixed amds finaly (thx to Dmitrik/Bronya) (amd works only with ToH's kernel, and u should see efi entry in IODeviceTree then)
- fixed multiplier detection for intel cpus with multiplier > 15

that's all.

p.s. u can find us at netkas.org now, thx to TommyKnockers

p.p.s. fiels still at irc, #leopard irc.osx86.hu

now about first benefits of pc_efi

intel users, with intel-chip based mobos and c2d-based cpus (and core duo and core solo) can install 10.4.11 updfate on their hacks without propblems, just make postupdate patching for ur hardware (e.g. applehda, or for ahci and etc), and u can use it and do not wait for patched kernels.

About using stock kernel and other.

netkas — 2007-11-14T10:00:13Z

The only reason to use stock kernel - if compiled is not ready yet, cause stock kernel doesn't have support for non-c2d and non-intel mobos.
Another reason is that speedstep brakes sleep.

and

Somebody abused my account at hackint0sh.org few days ago(changed p/w and email). send mails like mad to aRt or sam if u have their emails :D
