Forced EDID http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=208410 If the solutions presented in the first part of the topic do not work with your graphics on your notebook, you can try this solution which is what I use on my notebook Forced EDID. For that you must obtain on windows the Raw Data of your screen there are some utilities for this. http://www.entechtaiwan.com/util/moninfo.shtm http://www.eldim.fr/products/display-controller/fpdlite/edidviewer After obtaining this information you should keep a file with the extension *. txt, then proceed on Mac OS X to edit another file system located in / System/Library/Displays/Overrides/DisplayVendorID-756e6b6e/DisplayProductID-717 to do this make a copy of it to the desk, and changed its name to DisplayProductID-717.plist, introducing the Raw Data obtained by the method described above, an example of the original file and the file already containing the Forced EDID Raw Data. After this step, simply renaming the file, removing the .Plist and re-copy the file to your place of origin, and run Disk Utility, repairing permissions volume where is the modified file.

Chancer Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I believe my 4850 is not fully working. It is displaying on native resolution, but System Report sees it as generic 5MB GPU. I edited ATI4800Controller.kext's Info.plist, adding 0x94421002, activated GraphicsEnable and AtiConfig (Cardinal, according to Framebuffer's Info.plist), but it does't seem to be enough. You said there should be 3 (eventually 4) kexts loaded. How can I make sure they were loaded successfully? System Info shows only ATISupport, but there are other 3 kexts related to my graphic card: AppleMCCSControl, AppleUpstreamUserClient and IONDRVSupport.

Chancer Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I finally managed to make it work after installing ATY_Init.kext. Earlier I had installed some "enablers", exotic patch and some other things that didn't work, consequently I'm not 100% sure that ATY_Init was the only thing missing or a combination of many things I tried. In the end, I can finally watch YouTube Videos, DVDs, and everything is running smooth.

My Insyde BIOS does not support the enabling/disabling of the graphics card. But, I have an interesting outcome of my installation... Before installation, I did not have a single graphics .kext in /s/l/e. I installed ATI5000, ATIX3000, ATISupport, and ATIFramebuffer. I then repaired permissions and added GraphicsEnabler=Yes and AtiConfig=Hoolock. I then rebooted and got a very strange panic. See pic: I have googled this and there is LITERALLY NOTHING on this error. Got any idea? Thanks. -Jugz Quote CPU: i7-4810QM 2.8GHz RAM: 8GB DDR3 1600MHz Graphics: Intel HD 4600 + Discrete Nvidia GTX 870M (disabled) OS's: Win 8 | MAC OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite Files: DSDT | SSDT's | Geekbench | AIDA64 Report Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xelanaiznac Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) hi artur. this is my situation: -hardware in signature -mac osx lion 10.7.3 -multishit 4.2.1 (so chimera 1.7) system is stable (maybe as a real mac pro). cpu benchmark are impressive. the only issue is that my vapor x 6870 1gb has very poor scores in benchmarks. in cinebench it reaches 32 fps, versus the 50fps or more that other users, with the same graphic card, reach. so, what's the problem? i've tried using different smbios (mac pro 3,1:4,1;5,1 and even iMac 12,2, but nothing changes. look at the pictures please: Edited February 2, 2012 by Guest Quote sierra 10.12.3 (clover uefi) asus maximus VIII gene bios 2202 i7 6700k @4.7ghz corsair h110i gtx 16gb ram ddr4 3200mhz 2x samsung 950 pro gtx 980 ti strix bcm94360cd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
