Hello there

 

I installed hachkintosh 10.8.2 ML on my samsung laptop.  NP550P5C

 

its ivy bridge, i have Nvidia GT650M and Intel HD 4000

 

all im trying is to get my HD 4000 working. I searched a lottt and read many guides and even saw afew successfull installation on same model of samsung laptop.

(however they are not same in specs)

 

Unfortunately I was not able to make it working, two times i got scrambled and noisy screen and mouse and keyboard disabled entierly!

one time i got black screen, and so...

 

 

Actually i alittle confused , because there are many different suggestions out there and im not sure which one is the best.

for example some say to put EFI string in deviceproperties , some say to change DSDT, some say to put some strange key and value in boot plist ,......

 

I really appreciate if someone can help me alittle. maybe its helpful for others too as i think i mixed different approaches.

 

Here is my situation : After installing and reboot, i had to remove Gforce..kext and all nvidia kext files and also all HD3000*.kext and HD400*.kext files to prevent my mac freezing.

 

Now, here is my questions :

 

1-Which kext files are exactly required to get my HD4000 working? do i need to copy HD4000*.kext  back?

and what about  framebuffer capri  ? do i need to put original files back and try to make it working by putting different EFI strings?

 

2-how many different approaches exists for this problem?

 

3-I tried to use this driver   http://www.osx86.net/view/3757-%5Bnew%5D_intel_hd_3000__hd_4000_10.8.3_ml_driver.html but it made my keyboard and mouse freezing :(

 

4-How can i make a correct EFI string without using the ready ones i can found on internet?

 

And my real question :

5-At the moment, i canboot my mac in normal mode and i dont have HD4000*.kext files installed. whats the next steps to enable my graphic?

 

I greately appreciate if someone can help me to solve this problem.

 

let me know if have to provide more information.

 

Thanks alot

I didn't say what i found is someone invention or imagination though!!! i just wanted to know different approaches and their differences. :rolleyes:


By the way,
i tested them all and just got black or scrambled screen , and here is your answer to that situation :

 

if u try all things in guide, the script to edit, dual link patch..
