conorgill Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Hi all! My first post here First of all, I want to say a warm hello & thank you to everyone on here! InsanelyMac has pulled me out of the s**t many a time before now! On the topic of this graphics card - I have followed Vlada's InsanelyMac post (Here) regarding this GPU & I haven't had much luck! Basically, I have the Sapphire Radeon R9 270x running on (Niresh) Mavericks 10.9.2 - it's displaying as 'Radeon HD 7xxx 2048 MB'.. I am getting full resolution, and I assume QE/CI is working as I can make a move in Chess. However, running a LuxMark benchmark I am getting a "clBuildProgram -11" error, and in Unigine Heaven I am barely scraping 10fps with the settings on Extreme I have tried installing Vlada's driver package and it just gives me nothing (Black screen on DVI, screen goes off completely on HDMI). I have tried the Terminal method too, still no luck. The only section I could not follow properly was the DSDT section - I couldn't find the "PEGP" device in MaciASL, my Graphics Card is on PC02 according to IORegistryExplorer. So I guess my question is, has my n00b level reached a new extreme & I'm missing something completely obvious? Or should everything be working? BTW, I have another Mac installation on my second HDD, so copying/restoring {censored}-ups is easy enough for me! Thanks in advance! Conor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vusun123 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Patching framebuffer is needed, also keep the vanilla AMD kexts. Check Slice's thread: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/291117-how-to-make-radeon-desktop-or-mobility-be-working-by-using-clover/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conorgill Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 Thanks vusun! Will give it a try when I get home from work could be wrong but I was pretty sure the Niresh instructions said no Clover for AMD users? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vusun123 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 They don't know how to support AMD users using clover that's why they said no 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyCardello Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Hello everybody. I`ve just successfully patched my Asus R9 280X. Everything is OK. BUT! I can`t understand why pushing on "monitors" in settings, system settings freeze. Before patching i had same situation. Yosemite DP6. Anybody know why it happens? config.plist.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does system preferences freeze or does your entire computer freeze? You should check if you can see any Console messages when it happens. I don't know how many displays you are using, but try booting with a single display at a time from each port, and see if there's a particular port that's causing it. If you can find that only 1 port is causing it, maybe try different control flags for that port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
