We have two options to make the 6650M work: ( Some users asked for tutorilals, I will make one as soon as i can, i am trucking 15 hours a day so i don't have much free time)

( Radeon HD 6470M Users read page 17-19 for DSDT + patched kext Solution, I will update my OP soon with 6470M stuff also)

1. With DSDT patch + patched ATI6000Controller.kext
2. GraphicEnabler=Yes + Patched ATI6000Controller.kext
But we can't use the same kexts. I will cover first the DSDT patch + patched ATI6000Controller.kext

ATI 6650M 2GB SubsystemVendorID: 0x1025 SubsystemID: 0x050e

Original Ipomoea configuration:

	00 04 00 00 04 03 00 00 00 01 00 00 12 04 01 05
	00 08 00 00 04 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 11 02 04 03
	10 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 02
	

My best discovered Ipomoea configuration for DSDT + Patched ATI6000Controller.kext:

	02 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 09 01 00 00 10 01 00 03

	10 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 01 05
	

My best discovered Ipomoea configuration for GraphicsEnabler + Patched ATI6000Controller.kext:

	02 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 09 01 00 00 20 01 00 03
	00 08 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 11 02 04 01
	10 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 01 05
	

Without any cable connected: =>Power On=>Boot=>Desktop=>LVDS OK, afterwards you can connect/disconnect  VGA or HDMI, mirror and extended desktop is working, no HDMI audio
HDMI or VGA cable connected: =>Power On=>Boot=>Desktop=>HDMI or VGA OK, afterwards you get only HDMI or VGA,  no LVDS, no display detect, no mirror, no extended desktop, no HDMI audio.

You gonna need to replace Device (PEGP) in your DSDT with this code for the above kexts to work. Change "VRAM,totalsize",  to 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x40 if you have 1 GB VRAM.
But first you  need to convert your VBIOS.rom to DSDT code with rom_dsdt_converter.exe (google it) and paste it in "ATY,bin_image", like this:
==========================================================================
"ATY,bin_image", <= Look for this line in the code for Device(PEGP) below
Buffer () <= leave Buffer empty!
  {
Converted VBIOS goes here in one line, than compile DSDT
  },
==========================================================================
This is the full model description of my Acer: Aspire 7750G-2674G50Mnkk, You can use my DSDT on your own risk.
Here is my DSDT :  DSDT.aml.zip   57.09K   39 downloads (Use it only after you  install one of the kexts, not before)
Here is just the code for the PEGP with converted VBIOS included in it :  PEGP.dsl.zip   95.46K   33 downloads
And my VBIOS:

Hi Trucker,

I followed your old post. I have exactly the same video card as you. I only have 1gb ram. I tried it with  both of your methods, the one with ati init runned but only with the cursor on a white screen... Could you help me please? I have an acer 7750g with core i5. It works everything exept ethernet and graphics. I run 10.7.3. I also tried with the new mountain lion, but i get an error that the headers are not correct, maybe you have tried it with 10.8 too? Would be great if you could help me, i was waiting so long for a solution!

[Trucker MK]

Hi, I haven't tried on 10.8. You can try now again on 10.7.3 with Chimera + ATI6000Controller.kext or ATY_init.kext +  ATI6000Controller.kext.  for 10.7.3.  For the next few days i wont be around, i can't use my data plan on roaming, too expensive. I guess my 6650M is working the best, even Pentahex said that sometimes have black screen or "double vision" effect, i think he has also the one with 1 GB. Another user having 6650M with 2 GB RAM is having the same issues. I never got black screen, only few times "double vision" effect.
Edit. I believe that i can make this Ipomoea Personality ( or some other) even better but that will be after 2 months when i'll be at home and can test HDMI and VGA also. I don't have those in my truck, yet

[E.Miller]

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm making a new fresh installation on my laptop with 10.7.3. I did not used your chimera build before, maybe thats the problem! You have done great work so far! See you in a few days

[Trucker MK]

Try again, it should work, I had some issues/mistakes with compiling chameleon.

It WORKS! Thank you very much! Writing this Message from the new Mac with the great resolution!!! I will make an entire disk backup now, so that i am save
I will also post all required Kexts here, to get everything worked on the 7750g!

Thank you, for this great work!

[Trucker MK]

You are welcome, that's great news, try to reboot few times. Does it boot ok every time? Give me the vendor and device id from your ethernet. Maybe I can help you with that also.

Edit. There are more 7750G models, all with different hardware, mine for example is Acer Aspire 7750G-2674G50Mnkk, look on the bottom stickers.

[E.Miller]

Everything works. The first boot on a clean install and it worked! I booted it 15 times now, no Problem at all. Maybe its because i updated to Bios 1.18 before install? I have the same Ethernet as you, maybe you can provide me the link to the kext? I only have one for 10.6. But it is not so important because Wifi works! Thank you!

Nice! This works too! In the meantime, i got a Kernel Panic, but i rebooted again and it works! So the only thing which is left: The Touchpad. Do you have a driver for Multitouch? I can only move the cursor but with clicking on the pad nothing happens...

The last update for WhistlerPro chipset was in v1.09 i think, if you want, you can update to v1.19. You have that since 05.03.2012

I dont have it, same here, no clicking. About the KP, i have it also sometimes from that kext, if you don't need ethernet maybe is better to delete it.

BTW, do you have working USB 3.0 ?

[E.Miller]

Okay, so i will do some research! See you soon. I will post the kext when i found it!

Here you go for Touch/Trackpad:  Touchpad.zip   105.4K   31 downloads- or try this Link: http://www.mediafire...ya4ii66v122w7gk
There is no Multitouch support, but if you Click on the pad you have a mouse click!
Thats a small but a great improvement!

EDIT: BTW your question about USB 3.0:

Did you tried this kext? http://osx86.net/dow...do=file&id=2293

I'm not sure if this is the right one, but it might be. I will test it tomorrow.

[Trucker MK]

Thanks, I'll test it tomorrow. When you get  (Internal Server Error) try more than once. 3-4 times and it will work.
You didn't answer me about the USB 3.0. You got it working or still no luck?

Not even the keyboard works with this for me, thanks anyway.

Your keyboard does not work? I could upload the kext if you want. USB 3.0 doesn't work for me, everytime i plug in a device the whole system freezes.
Touchpad and Keyboard work for me. USB 3 is not that important to me. Does Hibernation work for you?

[Trucker MK]

My keyboard and touchpad does not work only with the kexts you attached above.Same here for USB 3.0, and no sleep/hibernation. I have green screen on display sleep and KP on Computer sleep.

[bux_booga]

Hi, Trucker MK! Thanx for your topic! Do you have a problem with 16bit color on your Acer?

[Trucker MK]

Yes, some pictures look pretty bad.

If it helps, write here. Some say it helps, but I did not help.

And if your monitor does not wake up after sleep, I can help.

Thanks, I'll try that tonight or tomorrow, I'm working today. About the wake screen, I don't have working sleep yet,  only green screen on display sleep and KP on computer sleep. If you could help me with that also, it will be perfect. I am using roaming data plan untill next week and I wont be online as much as usual. Thanks again.
