vusun123 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 If you are using Chameleon and it appears as AMD Radeon HD 7XXX 2048MB then it's fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiethemorris Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 It's mostly just cosmetic, there's a few applications that might not like it (For example, DVD player), but most people don't have issues with it recognized as 7xxx. If it's working then don't worry about it. Otherwise, try GraphicsEnabler=Yes in your org.chameleon.boot.plist. Beyond that, your card may require you to edit one of the framebuffers in AMD7000Controller, especially if you are planning on using multiple displays. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/249642-editing-custom-personalities-for-ati-radeon-hd45xxx/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickme829 Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 If i try booting with GraphicsEnabler=Yes it hangs on the apple logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vusun123 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Try patching framebuffer, it's better than having the bootloader to enable it for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiethemorris Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 @kickme829 just so you know if you want to patch the framebuffer you still need GraphicsEnabler=Yes otherwise it just uses the generic framebuffer. The reason it's hanging for you is probably because the default framebuffer for GraphicsEnabler=Yes is not compatible with your card. So the first thing I would do is try a few different ones. You can do this by adding AtiConfig=(whatever framebuffer you want to use) to your org.chameleon.boot.plist. here are the 7xxx framebuffers from 10.9.4: Kext

As you can see it has 4 lines which means 4 ports (2 display ports, hdmi, and dvi in this case). So start with GraphicsEnabler=Yes and AtiConfig=Futomaki. If that doesn't work, try some of the other 4-port framebuffers. If nothing works, then follow the guide vusun123 posted above. But try a few different framebuffers without patching them first, you may get lucky and find one that works for you and save yourself a little trouble.

kickme829 Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 For the personalities I don't think any of mine are listed above due to the fact that mine looks like this http://uk.msi.com/media/product/b1prYzh5dXYwSXovaFREOHNRTXZIQT09/600.png Which means DVI Dual link should be on slot 4 not slot 3? so in theory it would mean my personality would be something like this: 00 04 00 00 04 03 00 00 00 01 00 00 12 04 05 01 00 04 00 00 04 03 00 00 00 01 00 00 22 05 04 02 00 08 00 00 04 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 11 02 01 03 04 00 00 00 14 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 10 00 03 06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
