CODE

Updates:

1- the same method is tested in Mac OS X version 10.6.3 & the lastest update 10.6.7 and i report it's working perfectly for both

2- for the 10.6.3 system the personnality is 20 bytes (the SenseID byte is replaced by i2cid & SenseID is 4 bytes);

a-the original 10.6.3 Shrike ConnectorInfo:

CODE

00 00 00 40 00 00 00 09 00 00 00 02 01 00 00 03 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 01 00 00 09 01 00 00 20 01 02 91 02 00 00 00
04 00 00 04 03 00 00 00 01 00 00 10 00 01 90 01 00 00 00

b-My modded working 10.6.3 Shrike ConnectorInfo :

CODE

00 00 00 40 00 00 00 09 00 00 00 12 00 00 96 07 00 00 00
00 00 00 10 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 10 01 95 06 00 00 00
08 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 20 01 02 90 01 00 00 00

3- About the 10.6.7 Update:

a-ConnectorInfo are located in ATIFramebuffer.kext for the general combo update (the same as 10.6.6 system)
b-ConnectorInfo have migrated to ATIControlerXXXX.kext for 2011 MBP update (the kernel & ATi Drivers structure are closer to Lion 10.7 than to 10.6.6),
ATIController4600.kext contain only Shrike, Flicker & Gliff ConnectorInfo (which theorically restrict the possible framebuffer to use with a specific controller.kext)
ATIController4800.kext contain only Cardinal,Motmot & Quail ConnectorInfo.

The Online guide:

A- The Structure of a personality:

I'll take Shrike as framebuffer for the demonstration, cause it's used as default by Radeon HD 4670 (M96XT, DevID 0x9488 ) on iMac 10,1 & iMac11,2
which is the closest to the Mobility Radeon HD 4650 (M96, DevID 0x9480) on my board.

for Shrike we have by default 3 personalities , one for each connector (3 connectors allowed): port0, port1, port2.

02 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 09 01 00 00 02 01 00 03
02 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 09 01 00 00 20 01 02 02
00 04 00 00 04 03 00 00 00 01 00 00 10 00 01 01

let's take the first one which is for port 0 :

02 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 09 01 00 00 02 01 00 03

divide it to 8 parts:

02 00 00 00 - 40 00 00 00 - 09 01 - 00 00 - 02 - 01 - 00 - 03

Then byte swapped

1- ConnectorType : 02 00 00 00 > 0x00000002 - - -
2- ATY,ControlFlags : 40 00 00 00 > 0x00000040 +++
3- Features : 09 01 > 0x0109 +++
4- Unkown : 00 00 > 0x0000 - - -
5- Transmitter : 02 > 0x02 - - -
6- Encoder : 01 > 0x01 - - -
7- HotplugID : 00 > 0x00 - - -
8- SenseID : 03 > 0x03 ++++++

- - - > Value not important, but need to be accurate for better result
+++ > Important value, incorrect value == not working personality

Detailed info about possible value for each field is list below ( some are confirmed, some only guessed by studying different personalities and need some feed-back
from working system (for me LVDS and VGA value are confirmed)

1- ConnectorType;

8- SenseID;

CODE

/* SenseLine = (i2cid & 0xf) +1 ,you get  i2cid from bbc9 radeondump */
     Bits 0-3: Sense Line
     Bit    4: Use hw i2c flag

Now to some practice

B- Getting the ConnectorType, ATY,ControlFlags,Features, HotplugId and SenseLineId Values:

You will need :
1- videocard bios dump ( i have used everest for that and renamed it 1002_9480.rom ) ,
2- radeondump tool from bbc9
launch Terminal & type ./radeondump < your_videobios.rom > connector.txt
you will get something like this :

CODE

    Desktop Mucha$ ./radeondump < 1002_9480.rom
ATOM BIOS Rom:
    SubsystemVendorID: 0x103c SubsystemID: 0x3629
    IOBaseAddress: 0x7000
    Filename: br33507.001
    BIOS Bootup Message:
HP_Quanta_Jones_Cujo_M96M_DDR3 M96 DDR3 128bit 550e/667m                 

Connector at index 0 type: LVDS (7)
Connector's i2cid: 96
Connector at index 1 type: VGA (1)
Connector's i2cid: 95
Connector at index 2 type: HDMI-A (11)
Connector's i2cid: 90

which means:

port0 > LVDS=0x00000002 - ControlFlag=0x0040 - Features = 0x09-------------------------HotplugId=0x00 - i2cid=96 > SenseLine = 0x07
port1 > VGA =0x00000010 - ControlFlag=0x0010 - Features = 0x00 ------------------------ HotplugId=0x01 - i2cid=95 > SenseLine = 0x06
port2 > HDMI=0x00000800 - ControlFlag=0x0200 - Features = 0x00 -------------------------HotplugId=0x02 - i2cid=90 > SenseLine = 0x01

You need Dong's RadeonHD.kext , i have used the 10/20/2009 update, edit the info.plist to set the debug to true and verbose level to 2
then delete ATI4600 & ATIFramebuffer from S/L/E (make a back-up first) and install radeonHD reboot (your external VGA,DVI or HDMI screen most be connected)
once on desktop go to Terminal : sudo -s , type your password then dmesg >Encoder.txt
In my case i get as output:

Based upon the above information my SPECIFIC videocard routing is:

CRTC0>DIG1>UNIPHYE>LVDS Encoder= 0x00 Transmitter = 0x12
CRTC1>DAC > DACA >VGA Encoder=0x10 Transmitter = 0x00
CRTC1>DIG2>UNIPHYB>HDMI Encoder= 0x01 Transmitter = 0x20 (i don't have a hdmi display to test)

Now doing the compilation , my new modded Shrike personalities :

02 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 09 01 00 00 12 00 00 07 LVDS
10 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 10 01 06 VGA
00 08 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 20 01 02 01 HDMI

This mod allowed me to get both LVDS an VGA display working with Resolution change, QE/CI Extended desktop and Mirroring
I have tested the same mod with Peregrine and i confirm it's also Working.

D- How to Easy Quick Patch your desired Framebuffer personality (without calculating the adresses and for both i386 and x86_64):

You should have a hexadecimal editor:

1- Download the attached : Sharks_FB.txt Birds_FB.txt and Monkeys_FB.txt,
2- Open the text file select and copy the desired personality hexadecimal code (the one you want to patch),
3- Open ATIFramebuffer.kext and Drag ATIFramebuffer binary to hexadecimal editor,
4- Select : edit>search , in the search fields paste the clipboard content and choose hex value & wrap option,
5- You should find 2 instances of the searched personality: the first one is for x86_64 and the second for i386 (make sure you have only 2),
6- Patch and save your binary, install reboot an ENJOY

For Radeon HD 3XXX and prior choose Sharks,
For Radeon HD 4XXX choose Birds,
For Radeon HD 5XXX choose Monkeys.
