Hello,

I recently transformed my Gateway NV5909h laptop to an hackintosh 10.8.2 Mountain Lion Build. I installed everything with ###### and everything seems to run OK with the OS but the graphic card which does seems to be a pain in the ass.

I red several forums to the point that i mostly know what the problem is.

Here is the step i did :

1. I dumped my EDID of my screen (LVDS) and created the DisplayVendorID folder and file (display is 717)
2. I tried several personnality from Chameleon Bootloader with no success. The Orangutan bootloader seems to be working fine the only thing is i get a white display at boot when i boot with GraphicsEnabler=Yes and AtiConfig=Orangutan. Otherwise everything i tri result in a blackscreen
3. Connected my booted OSX to an HDMI capable display and i get every features from my video card, so i know the problem is that my LVDS isn't recognized by OSX at boot.

I really need help to make this work, can anybody help me with the steps and command i need to put in OSX in order to put my LDVS as the first option when booting ? I know a fair amount of users have this problem.

Any help would be appreciated ! Thanks

Welcome, the world is small ..


The fact that you used a tool, for us is cause for concern, because this actually do not know for sure what happened to your OSx.
However, look here:

EDIT


check if the sub sys iD (near the ID Vendor/Product) of your Graphics card is present in Ati.c:

http://forge.voodoop...6/libsaio/ati.c

also check your smbios.plist if it reflects your hardware
