Joni_78 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I installed Mavericks (Clover) on my laptop and everything seems to work fine except GPU. My laptop has both HD4000 and AMD Radeon HD 7570M, but unfortunately laptop manufacturer hasn't added any options to disable Radeon from BIOS, so my only option is to get drivers for Mobility 7570 working. GPU kind of works, but seems to stutter slightly for example when launching launchpad or moving windows. Safari has a lot of flickering. I wonder if I have the right kexts in use, what kexts should I edit from Mavericks that might work for Mobility Radeon? Also what causes that flicker?

pokenguyen Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Your HD4000 does not work properly, did you remove any kexts after install OS X? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joni_78 Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 The problem is that this laptop has no option to use HD4000. They removed it so that there is only 7570M. So it's impossible to get Mobility Radeon cards to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeuser16 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I think it's possible. Post here your video bios dump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joni_78 Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 @freeuser16Thanks for wanting to help . I've made some progress with this, though it wasn't easy as HP likes to add VGA BIOS in system BIOS and it can't be dumped with Clover or CPU-Z.I managed to extract VGA BIOS from my HP Insyde BIOS but i'm little lost with this.This is from BIOS decoder. It shows 5 connectors.

I still see the text and all and it shows QE/CI is enabled. If I use Ipomoea and edit it's VGA line like this: 10000000100000000001000000000008 I get perfect picture on the external monitor trough VGA and QE/CI is enabled.What am I doing wrong with the laptop internal monitor?

freeuser16 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Set encoder of LVDS to 1 instead of 0, it should fix weird colours. However, you might get a problem with reduced colour depth. It's necessary to check it with some tool, fe. this one http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/gradient.php There is no difference what personality you edit. Even if it has less connectors than your video bios dump, it only means that some of them won't work. Maybe it's a bit better to patch personality which is designed for mobile cards (the ones that originally have LVDS connector). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It' working now but the gradients are bad like you said, especially on launchpad. Any way to fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
