Yet another first by Netkas!  Any way to make an EBC for older Mac Pros?  I suppose the DVD player/Steam issues can be fixed easily. |

Dumb me, missed that this was 64 bit.
I will go try it there.
Oddly, even on the 32 bit machine, I just saw a grey screen followed by the s[pinning Apple and then desktop.
But I think this is due to super fast SSD boot in Lion.
Dragging the 64 bit machine over now.

I also have an SSD and Lion boots in about 5 seconds to desktop! What causes DVD/GB/Steam to crash btw?

The Brilliant Netkas had a wonderful idea to do this ROM.
On 64 bit machine, the boot screen appears on at least one of the DVI ports.
I could not get it on either MDP port...but...wait......
I am able to get 4 displays working at once !!!!
Talk about some screen real estate.....I could move onto my own desktop...and have room for a couch !!!
Oddly, it loaded "Duckweed" from EFI as the Audio device, but still uses RadeonFrameBuffer for DIsplay driver...and works anyway.
HDMI seems to work as well.
The Audio out via MDP isn't working, but they may have something to do with that "NO" in the "driver Installed" column.

lol, it initiated card at boot time but set keys for audio device, not videocard.
Rominator, combine this with aty_init and you will fix geekbench/steam

My monitor doesn't accept VGA so I can't test DVI->VGA, and my MDP->DVI adaptor is at work so I'll have to test that tomorrow. I'm off to bed now as I'm in england and it's 1am  |

So far, the only port I find a boot screen on is the lower DVI port. (one in line with other ports)
The other DVI port is dead to the world for all purposes, so far.
I just tried VGA, it is present in lower DVI port, but no boot screen.
The MDP Apple DIsplay does NOT have a boot screen. Sadly, having it plugged in with a DVI display causes the DVI not to display boot screen either.
I tried both MDP ports, both work for MDP once reached desktop, but no boot screen from either.
I even tested with Passive DVI adapter on them, still no DVI for boot.
But this is WAY better than the 5870, where only way to see boot was VGA.
