nvclock 0.8b5_7 (experimental) adds many new device ids and internal temperature reading fixes.
Nvclock and mapMemory binaries: Click to view attachment nvclock source: Click to view attachment
Added these devices: http://pastebin.com/ZR5RHRxU
If no i2c devices are found G92 and GT200 chips try Asus internal temp method, then G84 method, then NV50 method with correction bitshift by 2.
Attempt NV40 i2c bus unlock method on all chips.

If your card is reported as "Unknown Nvidia card" or contains "[?]" please post your device-id and card name.
If your card uses "NV50 GPU Internal Sensor" please report if your correction is too high.
If possible please report if 'sensors-detect' can find your nVidia i2c chipset from Linux if any "Internal Sensor" is used.
Also i2c may show attached to display in IOReg (as IOFramebufferI2CInterface), please report this presence if "Internal Sensor" is used.

Make sure to use the '-f' flag if your device is not recognized.

nvclock 0.8b5_6 (stable) fixes memory size and PRAMIN (BIOS info) reading!

LOADING
Load as normal kext, mapMemoryDriverClient will verify the driver is loaded.

Smartdimmer is only supported on certain (HP/SamsungSony/Zepto) laptops using a Geforce 6200/7x00Go/8x00Go. If you want support on your laptop contact the author.

ADVANCED MAPMEMORY OPTIONS
The mapMemory driver requires that requests be done by the root user, if you are sure you want to expose the mapMemory driver to any user you can edit the Info.plist "RequireRoot" property.
Modifying the "IONameMatch" property will allow the driver to attach with other devices.
mapMemoryDriverClient has advanced options like dumping memory, THIS MAY CAUSE YOUR COMPUTER TO FREEZE. You have been warned.

Can't compile on 10.6 'cause it compiles i386 nvclock and tries to link x86_64/
Binary doesn't work - mapmemory finds GFX0@0, and nvclock says no nvidia cards.

THe KiNG

Jun 11 2010, 11:39 AM

Same here, dosen't work on x86_64

Can someone fix it?

alphamerik

Jun 11 2010, 01:11 PM

I think it just needs -arch x86_64 added to the compile flags, unfortunately the configure/Makefiles ignore CFLAGS or CXXFLAGS.
Will see what I can do to make those variables work.

alphamerik

Jun 11 2010, 01:52 PM

Okay a Universal build of nvcontrol binaries have been added and the source updated, configured like this:

CODE

./configure CFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64" CXXFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64" LDFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64" --disable-nvcontrol --disable-gtk

If someone can post a Universal build of mapMemoryDriver it would be appreciated, xcode doesn't have the proper headers for 10.5.

гык-sse2

Jun 11 2010, 02:47 PM

you are still on 10.5?
But it still doesn't find video card. Of course, I run as root.

alphamerik

Jun 11 2010, 03:42 PM

Does it say no video card found or does it say no drivers found?
If it says that no driver is found try recompiling from source, and remove the -arch i386 flag.

Hopefully I will be upgrading to 10.6 soon.

EDIT: Also - it looks for a device name of "display", is your device name GFX?

гык-sse2

Jun 11 2010, 04:22 PM

It says no video card.
Memmapclient finds it OK. Property "name" of IOPCIDevice GFX0 is "display". My system is not 64 'cause of GF7300, but it runs 64-bit applications.

Slice

Jun 11 2010, 04:31 PM

Memory access for x86_64 requires much more efforts then just recompilation.

alphamerik

Jun 11 2010, 04:44 PM

Edit:
64-bit isn't such a big deal here, the only difference is in the pointer types for IOConnectMapMemory, and you can see the ifdef in the code, otherwise nvclock works with only <32-bit types from casts.

The problem is that I am using IORegistryEntryGetName which probably doesn't look at the properties for the name, it is probably more analogous to the basename of the path. Will modify it tonight to get the name from the properties dictionary instead.

alphamerik

Jun 11 2010, 09:27 PM

Ok guys, I changed from using IORegistryEntryGetName to reading "IOName" from the properties.
Also a fix with x86_64 reading PRAMIN (forgot some parenthesis - 'doh).
Files up top have been updated.

The newest binary zip has x86_64 nvclock/smartdimmer with old i386 kext, yes they play nice together.

Please let me know if this fixes your detection problems.

Somebody please post a x86_64 build of mapMemoryDriver so I can lipo it with my build. Thanks.

Anyone notice their graphics fan boots with 30% manual setting?
Changing the fan to auto it stabilizes at ~ 63%, board goes from 58c to 53c, gpu 73c to 64c.
Probably a good thing to do in nvSmcMonitor startup.

THANKS updating binary+kext for 64 bit ("...also fixed accidental PRAMIN read on x86_64".
C2D + 8800GTX + 10.6.3 (64 Bit kernel mode) gets kextload error of
"nvclock0.8b5_3-bin/mapMemoryDriver.kext failed to load - (libkern/kext) requested architecture/executable not found; "
Perhaps i dont understand right the "64 Bit fixes"- does the kext needs to boot in 32 Bit Kernelmode ?

Correct, I can't compile an x86_64 version of the kext (because I am on 10.5), but if someone posts their x86_64 build of the kext driver I can create a universal version from it.
Thanks

Hi, i first tried to test OC on my 8800GTX NV50 but get those message. // Beta 6
sudo nvclock -m 300
Error: NVClock doesn't offer lowlevel overclocking on NV50/G8x/G9x/GT200 hardware (yet).
If you want to overclock your card using the Nvidia drivers instead add the line:
Option "Coolbits" "1" to the screen or device section in your xorg.conf and then try NVClock again.

So nvclock didnt support most used nvidia gpus yet ?

Hey guys, just as an aside, I upgraded my BIOS to 62.92.24.00.27 because of the high temps and low fan speed and it seems to work well.
Here is where I got the update for my EVGA 8800GT:
http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?&m=15622&mpage=1

Overclocking is only supported on older chips (please report back with your experiences to make sure I didn't break anything).
Hopefully nvclock will be updated in the future, but it may take some reverse engineering of rivatuner (or collaboration) for that to happen.

Yep, OC by editing the Psates in BIOS is also OK. Perhaps not even needed to flash if using the chameloen VGA-BIOS option (with oc modded bios file) which loads and uses that insted the orig. BIOS ?
Has anyone used that VGA-BIOS option already ?

I'm using an NV46 7300LE (u may say GS - the only difference is core and memory speed). I don't have any AGPM, I was speaking about those 8800, but as u said it's impossible. And I know why - in Windows they're OCed through nVidia driver (ForceWare or how is it called now). And we don't have connection to nV drivers, that's why if we somehow lowlevel OC 'em, driver will reset the speed when we start/finish 3D application.
NV30 support is quite silly - there are no drivers 4 'em in Mac OS X, why are they needed? There was a driver in Tiger, but I think it was PowerPC only.

No, reversing RivaTuner won't give us anything useful, 'cause it's nVidia driver that switches 2D/3D and resets speeds if we do anything with them. That's why only reversing drivers can give us this possibility.

Most important fix is in map_mem_card pointer math, but I don't know if these cards use anything other than PMC to read the info we want for FakeSMCnVclockPort anyways.

They use PMC, PROM and i2c.

Apparently my GPU is colder than absolute zero. It shows up in iStat Menus around 250F.

Thanks for the info Burninator. What brand is the card? There are some comments in the code about Asus cards possibly not having the correct BIOS data, so it uses the "GPU Internal Sensor" when i2c cannot find a valid sensor. It looks like an XFX version of the card works ok:

http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/adjust...a-graphics-card

I will add some debug output info in i2c in the next version to see if there is anything useful.

Please post your bios*.rom from ~/.nvclock also, Burninator (or anyone else with "Unhandled init script entry" messages) .

This is not the bios file, the command which you ran simply shows how much memory the card has. (00 00 00 20 = 512MB)

To create the bios file run 'nvclock -i', the file will be saved as ~/.nvclock/bios*.rom

Also, what model laptop / video-card manufacturer is this?
