sorry, I have seen it coming, I had over the weekend very little time for OS X.

So to the AMD Radeon HD8240, the graphics card works without graphics acceleration as far as I can estimate that, here the desired ioreg file and a few pictures.

 

 

what does not work:

Ethernet card RTL8111

Wifi BCM4313 and Intel WM3945ABG

sound card

 

I will try to resolve the problems in the next few days.

This is a Kabini family card

 

Can u upload your ioreg file from registry explorer ?

 

i'd like todo a research on this card type

Yes that's a Kabini AMD Radeon HD8240 R3-Series. But you can bring to work with any other graphics card. The procedure is relatively simple an efi-string in to org.chameleon.boot.plist, a modified dsdt with graphic injection and driver patch. That's it.

Edit:

or use clover bootloader and test with fake id and efi string that should also work.

I have tried to build an AMD Radeon drivers for R3, unfortunately it is me so far not succeeded to build an error-free kext drivers. The only away to bring the graphics card to work, I've described above in short-form.
