@Pavo  I am using 10.10.3 with clover.

After following the instructions card is showing as AMD r9 290 but the memory is 7mb. How can i get the full 4GB?

specify a FB name like Futomaki

The screen turns off at the login screen. Like on Yosemite without those Clover configuration options.

 

Also, I see you have a 290X, which is not what I have, a regular 290.

if you get the 290 working in 10.10 you can use the same method to get it working in 10.11 just add rootless=0 as a bootflag

That I did, I don't know what to say, I'll keep looking at it

Nah nothing. Same exact configuration, save for having moved /kexts/10.10 to /kexts/10.11. It just does not work. I hope more people will come around to say the same to know I'm not alone.

Remove .doc from the extension.

use 0x100267b0 as FakeID, inject Ati, use Baladi FB and use this FB patch

Thank you but it does not work. The system turns on as if there was no GPU acceleration at all.

 

Do I need to keep the ATIConnectorsController/ATIConnectorsData/ATIConnectorsPatch settings from Yosemite?

Well, just to avoid a pointless discussion, I am going to attach my current config.plist file.

config.plist.doc

You had a few things wrong in the Graphics section, no need for setting Dual Link, VRAm or ports and no need to load vbios or patch vbios, I have corrected your config see attached. Also how are you saving these files, they have a .doc extension, you should not be using wordpad notepad or texteditor to work with a .plist it can corrupt it.

config.plist.zip

I'm adding that extension by hand because the forum does not allow me to upload files with .rom or .plist extensions.

 

I will try that, thank you.

Nothing. Thank you very much for your time anyway

right click and compress them into a .zip file and the forum will allow you to upload them, I am working on a new patch today maybe something has changed in 10.11

hey,

 

i tried this method and everything is running smoothly on a fresh os x 10.0.3 yosemite install. thanks so far.

 

however (as said in the op), only one of my three monitors is working. which is super-nasty, b/c if i wanted to stick to a single screen i'd use a macbook.

 

has there been any recent workarround?

Sorry for my bad english but i have some information i want to share with you guys !

 

This is for everyone with a Sapphire Radeon R9 290 Tri-X OC AND a Intel HD Graphics 4600 Desktop who is using Clover as their bootloader - i finally could get both units to work proper with full acceleration on 10.10.3, which means i can usw 2 Displays without any glitches or slowdowns or  something =) BIG THANKS to the Member Audiohacks for sending me the oh so needed files for the R9 !

 

First of all enter your UEFI/BIOS and set the intel gpu as the initial gpu

 

What i did for the R9 to get to work:

 

1. Install the Kexts R9 290 10.10.3 Files.zip ( i repeat: i did this on 10.10.3 so i dont know about other versions )

 

2. open your clover config.plist

 

          in Devices -> ATI -> paste 0x67B01002

 

          in Graphics -> FB Name -> paste Baladi

 

                                  VRAM -> paste 4096

 

                                  Video Ports -> 4

 

                                  Check LoadVBios

 

          in Kernel and Kext Patches -> ATI Connectors Data

                                   paste: 

000400000403000000010300120403030004000004030000000101001102010100040000040300000001020021030202000400000403000000010400220504040004000004030000000105001000050500040000040300000001060020010606

 

                                                       -> ATI Connectors Patch

                                    paste:

000800000402000000010200220502030004000004030000000101011204010100040000040300000001020021030202040000001402000000010300110203040004000004030000000105001000050500020000040200000001040110000406

 

                                     ATI Connectors Controller -> 8000

 

Save and reboot and now your R9 290 should work fine with one port in use (ive tested hdmi and dvi)

 

 

What i did to get the Intel HD Graphics 4600 Desktop to work:

 

1. open your clover config.plist

 

          in Devices -> IntelGFX -> paste 0x04128086

 

          on the right sight check ->UseIntelHDMI

 

          in Graphics -> check Inject Intel

 

Save and reboot and now also the Intel GPU should run flawlessly

 

 

 

 

Check out the screenshots below! im so happy to finally get what i wanted all the time..ive been trying around for so long and been searching the net like hell and somehow it all worked now =)

 

i really hope i could help someone with this little guide!

 

bless!

Thank you so much!

 

Just got my Saphire tri-x  working in 10.10.3. Also tested a XFX r9 290 4gb core edition but no joy.

 

thanks again!!

 

What happens on your XFX? Do you get a hanging blank screen or does it still "kinda" works?

 

Also, are the port arrangements the same on your XFX and Sapphire cards?

What happens on your XFX? Do you get a hanging blank screen or does it still "kinda" works? Yes with 7 mb showing in about this mac

 

Also, are the port arrangements the same on your XFX and Sapphire cards? Yes as far as i know
