Found this link, translated to en – DUBL extracted

original in russian – кишки dubl

There is complete content of DUBL, including kexts.

lets see what is the DUBL, it’s clearly see that it is boot-132 based bootloader, which is under APSL, so, psys<whatever>, where is sources ?

here is some strings that matched in boot-132 based pc-efi(u can check any other boot-132 based booter like Chameleon, boot-think) and DUBL(filename – cdboot):

I hope this is enough, because there is much more.

Radeonhd 4670 in Imacs is mobility card, its clock speed is 680 for core, 790 (1580) for memory.

Desktop’s 4670 card have 750/800, core clock of desktop 4650 – 600.

So performance should be between desktop’s 4650 and 4670.

Here is table with clocks in all states for this card.

Btw, framebuffer is Shrike;)

You all know who I’m talking about.

Latest 10.6.2 update have drivers for 46×0 45×0 43×0 card and we jsut made it to work.

You will need – a beta booter with GraphicsEnabler support for those card and drivers for osx (can find in irc.osx86.hu #radeonhd topic)

4650 – add devid into ATIRadeonX2000.kext after installing drivers, and remember to add your device-id to ATI4600Controller.kext and ATIRadeonX2000.kext after updating to 10.6.2 in future.
4670 doesnt need adding devid to kexts.

4350 – add devid into ATIRadeonX2000.kext after installing drivers, and remember to add your device-id to ATI4500Controller.kext and ATIRadeonX2000.kext after updating to 10.6.2 in future.

P.S. screenshots from 4650 card with DVI display, hdmi didnt work. VGA wasn’t tested, mobility wasnt tested too
P.S.S. this is only for snow leopard.

Latest 10.6.2 beta has kext named AirportAtheros21.kext, just add there your dev-id, test and check if it works, devid = 0013 works.

Also its possible to use old kext for 32-bit and new for 64-bit automaticaly.

New in release:

• Automatic detection of pci root uid value(for GraphicsEnabler and ethernetbuiltin options) based on parsing DSDT.aml file (if you dont use custom DSDT.aml, you will need to use -pci1 flag in case you have uid=1) . If booter fails to detect it or you dont have _UID property in pci root(in dsdt) then UID=0 used by default, but, if you have UID=1 and booter fails to detect it, use -pci1 boot flag. Uid detection works really well in most cases.
• Added aserebln’s patch for better cpu type detection, for example I dont need to add SMcputype key anymore
• Better handling of pci slot names if nvidia card present

Zipped booter – link1 link2(mirror)

This kext creates HPET device in ioreg, so you dont need(if you need) to edit DSDT to get it.

Originaly I created this kext for myself, because if HPET was enabled in DSDT then my pci wifi device was loosing interrupt and wasnt working, so this kext is workaround for it.

You can use it if you want to get HPET device in ioreg and are lazy to edit DSDT.

by default it uses these parametrs for HPET device (in Info.plist):

<key>base-address</key>
<integer>4275044352</integer>
<key>base-length</key>
<integer>1024</integer>
<key>irq</key>
<integer>12</integer>

which correspond to this:

Memory32Fixed (ReadWrite,
0xFED00000, // Address Base
0×00000400, // Address Length
)

I dont recommend editing irq .

The kext, for use with snow leopard:
HPETDevice.tar.bz2

Leopard version

New version of chameleon based booter includes these new abilities:

• GraphicsEnabler now supports Radeon hd 2/3 series too, but only for Leopard
• GraphicsEnabler now set up bin_image property for all radeon hd cards found in system, should fix 100% fan speed issue.
• You can tell GraphicsEnabler(GE) to use custom version of bios(for overcloking/changing fan speed/ etc). Use option -useatirom, and GE will look for bios files in /Extra folder (from root and boot partitions, Extra from root partition has more priority). Place bios files to Extra folder and rename them to this format – ati_XXXX_YYYY.rom, where XXXX – devid, and YYYY – vendor-id, for example rom file for 4850 should be named – ati_9442_1002.rom.
• 3rd party sm_cpu_type patch added (well, doesnt work for me anyway) and 3d party patch to fix hibernation.
• Proper enumerating of all pci ethernet/video devices
• Fixed few typos
• Support for radeon hd 4730 (rv770 based card) added to GE, the card wasn’t tested tho
• Support for multiple Radeon hd 48×0 cards in SnowLeopard
• Added GE support for 2600 and 3870 in snowleopard, need to remove x2000.kext to get reschange, other pre-4xxx cards need to be tested yet

Installation – make sure you have chameleon2 installed, then replace boot file in boot partition with this one – boot_10.4.1
mirror

Sources – Chameleon-2.0-RC3-r658-src_PCEFIV10.4-src.tar.bz2

Also, legacyAti4800Controller kext, to forget about adding dev-id to that kext after every update – kext, use in mkext in /Extra/

p.s. Updated Graphics Enabler now works with 10.6.2 and ati 48×0 gpus.

There is good news for owners of macbooks with intel graphics and 64-bit efi, who was successfull to enable 64-bit.

10.6.2 beta has 64-bit drivers for all intel igp’s used in macs.
