I'm running rev 1 on an athlon64 x2, and I am unable to run marvin's amd utility. there's a warning that "you cannot run marvin's amd utility because it is not supported on this architecture" does anyone know how to fix this?

“Have you guys got a tester with an ati x1250/RS690 graphics chip yet? I haven't been able to get mine to work yet, and I'm willing to test.”

“I also have this flash problem, but with rev 1. may be related to saft or safari adblock. are you using any of those zephyroth?”

“I don't know really, it just works here. are you installing on a SATA or a PATA drive? note: you could try to install the latest BIOS (1705, but beware: it breaks the onboard ethernet) to see if it fixes any problems...”

“[cite] Firewalk:Motherboard is a Asus M2A-VM 690g sb600..and i am using a custom sb600 kext from insanley mac.. that's just too weird: did it just start working with the 10.5.2 update? 'cause on my M2A-VM firewire was not working before tha…”

“no development going on AFAIK. you can get 1280x1024 by adding the correct lines to the com.apple.Boot.plist file in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ e.g. Graphics Mode 1280x1024x32 I've bought a cheap supported card, because it do…”

“small succes: with the translate from 10.5.2 the system boots into 10.5.3 correctly. some issues though: - "dsmos.kext cannot be used" message (fixed by reinstalling with kext helper) - lost QE/CI (broken even after reinstalling with nvinst…”

“I'm having the issues with /usr/libexec/aoh/translate too. marvin's won't apply the cpuid's correctly.”

“there's one on the bay right now, but only one seed. just wait a while for more to pop up.”

“with the files naaquada provided, I get full QE/CI but no resolution switching. that's with *and* without ATIinject. also, there's incredible mouse tearing when scrolling, clicking etc. EDIT: turns out that I do need ATIinject. for some rea…”

“so is that with or without ATIinject, silentmac?”

“But, if you're brave, you can try to get X11 working. I have it working completely, but OpenOffice itself is a bit of a pain in the ass to get to run. I'm still trying to make that work.”

“yes, time machine uses a disk-specific ID that is somehow based on or compared to the MAC adress of your computer. google once told me this, but I cannot find the page right now. when you check your startup log, you'll probably see that the…”

“I have this issue too, it seems to be an issue with the MAC address that cannot be found indeed. flexlm has that too, so e.g. maple won't activate.”

“I used kexthelper b7, but you can do it manually too. che etha.net/Kext_Helper/Software.html”

“I'm using the kext provided at the link on zephyroth 10.5.2, so yeah, it works on amd. and what I mean with "to get them running" is exactely what is written: without this kext the apps will just crash. for your second question: the kext wa…”

“you'll need the latest applesmbios by mac.nub to get them running and/or activated, so I guess you might need it to use the updater correctly too... my.macd otnub.info/content/view/19/26/”

“I don't really know what's going wrong with your system. mine has a SB600 and the install went flawless. you have set the SATA mode to AHCI in the BIOS right?”

“two comments about that post in IM: 1. the cpuids file has the wrong paths in it, so you should fix them before you apply. 2. the decrypts come with a translate binary, which may or may not be needed? [cite] zephyroth:If eddie11c is reading…”

“WinLinMac01: it's not just the name, it's the way the drive is formatted. case-sensitive formatting and marvin's just don't mix well.”

“are you running from a Case-Sensitive HFS+ volume? the utility cannot handle that.”

“with QE/CI? I could never get that to work with 10.5.1 but maybe with the graphics update it's fixed?”

“no, but the issue is that X11 wants to know at startup at what bit-depth it should work (16-bit colour, 32-bit-colour). it gets this information from your graphics card driver, but when none of the available drivers work for your card (like…”

“Firewalk, I sent you a whisper”

“works great here, but doesn't fix the time machine "backup volume not found" bug.”

“both fail in my experience.”

“Dunno, just try. :-p”
