Just changed over to Clover and have no problems booting off the USB, but after installing Clover on the SSD (using the same settings as the USB) and booting with it, I have graphics issues.

 

1. The Clover GUI looks like 8bit

2. There are no Apple loading screens; just goes black after Clover GUI, and then to login screen

3. Login screen only shows in about a 6"x6" square in the upper right corner of each monitor and has artifacting. The rest of the monitors' space is black.

4. I can log into OSX, and it looks to be operating ok, except of the above problem.

 

Note that I am still using BIOS, but dont think that's the cause since I can boot fine off the USB. This is on a Z68XP-UD3 and a XFX 6870.

 

The card is recognized in the Clover GUI when booting off the SSD, just doesnt act like it does. Checking/unchecking Inject ATI, setting framebuffer, setting deviceID and GUI resolution dont seem to do anything.

 

Any ideas?

Take a look at this:

Apple removed the hardware support for 3rd party SSDs with the latest (10.10.1) update. In case you installed the update, you might need to go back to 10.10.0 for the time being.

 

Other than that, what's your OS version?

No dice.

 

Recloned from my original 10.10 SSD, booted off USB (works fine), installed Clover, copied over kexts, config, dsdt/ssdt from USB, rebooted and same as above.

 

Clover GUI identifies the 6870 correctly (name and deviceid) but GUI still looks 8bit, no apple loading screens and only shows the top corner of each monitor when it gets to the login screen.

 

Can't figure out how it works off the USB, but not when booting from the SSD.
