mats42 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Hi I'm rather new to hackintosh so It migt be a "stupid" question but I'm trying to get a Radeon 7470 card to work with Mavericks and Clover. It's unfortunally a Suppermarket type box with a Locked BIOS so I have to use UEFI and Clover but I got that working after some heavy googleabuse. Now everything works but I'm stuck with 1024X764 and I kind of would like some more Is there anyway to get it better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Hi, and Welcome. In your config.plist create a entry called "ScreenResolution" and enter the right value for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mats42 Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 Thank you. I will try that. By the way that was a nice editor. Would you care telling me where I could find it? Seems safer than hacking through textedit. I do not know if it is required but under about this mac/system report/ graphics it says no Kext loaded .... Do i need to do something about that?

mats42 Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 I see that I did a major typo. It's a 7470 Card and I now got it to load the Kext for it but it still says 3 mb of ram and i still can use only 1024X768 but I'm getting closer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mats42 Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 Thanks. What I finally did to make it work was to modify the amd7000controller plist to include my device id. I did copy that kext to my EFI drive (don't know if it is needed) I then did edit my clover config.plist on both my system drive and the EFI drive so that it has a graphics section that says <key>Graphics</key> <dict> <key>Inject</key> <dict> <key>ATI</key> <true/> <key>Intel</key> <false/> <key>NVidia</key> <false/> </dict> <key>InjectEDID</key> <true/> <key>LoadVBios</key> <true/> </dict> 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artur_pt Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 hello u can try patch the kext on fly with that change by clover.. then u don't have updates problems.. KernelAndKextPatches <dict> <key>Name</key> <string>AppleHDAController</string> <key>Comment</key> <string>Patch_to_not_load_this_driver</string> <key>InfoPlistPatch</key> <true/> <key>Find</key> <string>0x04020000</string> <key>Replace</key> <string>0x44220000</string> </dict> that is one of examples good hack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
