Instructions for GraphicsInjector
Historically the sources for GraphicsInjector came from Chameleon where it is named GraphicsEnabler.
It is easy to see is user tell about GE then it means he uses Chameleon else if he tell about GI then he uses Clover
But Clover runs forward.
Intel videocards: GMA950, X3100, HD300, HD4000 - proved.
You have just set
<key>Graphics</key>
<dict>
<key>GraphicsInjector</key>
<string>Yes</string>
But one note. Some notebooks (like my Dell Inspiron 1525) booted into black screen. You can use sleep-trick or erase Device(CRT) from DSDT.
The last thing will be performed by the Clover if you set DsdtFixMask with bit 0x0100 - "Display Fix".
For Intel HD4000 one more parameter is possible
<key>ig-platform-id</key>
<string>0x01620005</string>
Where 162 for desktop like iMac13 and 166 for MacBookPro and MacMini. Last digit is a version of graphics engine.
We can't confirm information about memory/pipes/connectors dependency.
Default value set by Clover always work.
NVidia - a wide set of supported video cards, and the database is continuously replenished by ErmaC.
There are parameters in config.plist
<key>Graphics</key>
<dict>
<key>GraphicsInjector</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>LoadVBios</key>
<string>No</string>
<key>VideoPorts</key>
<string>3</string>
<key>NVCAP</key>
<string>04000000000003000C0000000000000700000000</string>
<key>display-cfg</key>
<string>03010300FFFF0001</string>
</dict>
But the Clover is clever enough that you need no to set these parameters. Just one:
GI = Yes and this will be the best choice for you.
I have many successful reports and no unsuccessful.
ATI/AMD
This is a special conversation. I have GA AMD Radeon HD6670 and VFX HD5570 so I tested these technologies in the cases of 5xxx and 6xxx.
You may set nothing (GI = No) and enter desktop with a common ATIRadeonFramebuffer. It works including OpenGL, you may even test with OpenGL Extension Viewer but this is not very good way to go. If you call DVDPlayer it will crash.
If you set GI = Yes you will enter black screen or see empty desktop because all info appears to be on second invisible desktop.
You need ATIConnector patch.
Original topic by bcc9.
As example for ATI HD6670 is my config
<key>Graphics</key>
<dict>
<key>GraphicsInjector</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>FBName</key>
<string>Ipomoea</string>
<key>LoadVBios</key>
<string>No</string>
<key>VideoPorts</key>
<string>3</string>
</dict>
And then I do connectors patch for the "Ipomoea" framebuffer.
<key>KernelAndKextPatches</key>
<dict>
<key>KernelCpu</key>
<string>No</string>
<key>ATIConnectorsController</key>
<string>6000</string>
<key>ATIConnectorsData</key>
<string>000400000403000000010000120401050008000004020000000100001102040310000000100000000001000000000002</string>
<key>ATIConnectorsPatch</key>
<string>040000000403000000010000100001061000000010000000000100000000000100080000040200000001000012040403</string>
For Mobile Radeon there in necessity to do
<key>LoadVBios</key>
<string>Yes</string>
Yes, this is a key difference to launch mobility.
EDID
In some case you need to inject EDID string. Or may be you just know the better EDID then provided by manufacture.
<key>InjectEDID</key>
<string>Yes</string>
In this case EDID string obtained by BIOS will be accesible by OSX that is not always true.
If your monitor is non-DDC at all then you may inject some artificial EDID
<key>CustomEDID</key>

AAPL,DualLink
For some older cards you should set DualLink=0 or 1. For example ATI HD1600. There must be =0 else you will see four screens.
<key>DualLink</key>
<string>1</string>
