10a432 AMD interface lag/choppiness
 
Hello all,

I have installed the 10a432 DVD along with the following kexts:

disabler.kext
dsmos.kext (or whatever it is)
nforceATA.kext
nforceLAN.kext

and using the mach_kernel.432amd that I got somewhere on this forum on my asus m2npv-vm mobo with an AM2 processor

added the EFI string for my 8800gt and enabled quartz gl from osx86 tools.

System profiler does NOT list QE/CI (at all!) which I thought was odd but when I ran Quartz Debug it shows QE enabled.

I have this interface lag that happens whenever i try to move a window or do anything really, and if i try to drag and drop an icon it hangs but I can still move the mouse (cant use keyboard shortcuts or cmd-opt-esc though.) I tried loading Chess to see if it was maybe a problem with OpenGL and it takes forEVER to load or make a move when usually on 10.5 it is lightning-fast. The intro movie from the setup assistant also was very choppy when playing back, i'm assuming its related.

Anyone have any ideas?

Cheers,
Nick

remove the efi string and try some kexts.
i'm doing fine with natit with my 8800gts e.g.

problem is in kernel for amd is not retail vanila ,
this kernel mach_kernel.432amd is patched

Where you find 432 kernel?

I have only 394.

And yes, it's recommended to leave QuartzGL OFF.

nickdanger3d 08-16-2009 05:06 PM
The lag happens regardless of the quartzgl setting. I'll try using natit.

i cant run 10.6 with mach_kernel.432amd.... its allways KP... :(

nickdanger3d 08-16-2009 08:13 PM
OK Natit boots and doesn't give the interface lag, but no opengl, qe/ci, or anything like that. Also, it's stuck at 1024x768. Any suggestions while I do more research?

As far as your KP using mach_kernel.432amd, did you try using -x32 as a kernel option?

nickdanger3d 08-16-2009 08:15 PM
oh wow, as I was typing that reply now i get these strange artifacts... for example, when the cursor blinks i get a horizontal line like a big shadow of the cursor to the left of it... I don't think natit is gonna be the final answer to this issue.
