Hello i active Ati 6470 full support with Clover: You can check my file http://www.osx86.net/files/file/3678-ati-6470m-on-asus-maverick/

Nah, I don't believe it works without issues. GraphicsInjector is not the right way to enable 6470M/7670M.. Check your colour depth - normally with graphics injector you get only 16bits.

I thinks it ok, you can check my picture? 32 bit

It might still be 16bit colour even though it says 32bits. Check with this test: http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/gradient.php

If you see smooth change from black to white and from white to black, it's ok. But if you see 32 bands instead, display works in 16 bits mode.

Hello. I have the same video card but in a HP Elitebook. I was able to get the video card to work in Mavericks but not Sierra. 

 

I would love to get someone's help on this to get it going in Sierra, 10,4. I see the ProBookInstaller loaded a patched kext. 

 

Heres what I have done: 

 

Installed Sierra

Installed the patched AMD6000 controller kext to the EFI/clover/Kexts/10.12 & the S/L/E

Repaired S/L/E

Repaired entire HDD in disk utility (had trouble mounting EFI partition so I had to mount it from another volume)

Could not repair EFI

 

Here's how the config in the Clover Boot loader is:

 

Ports: 05

inject EDID

inject ATI

framebuffer: Elodea, and also tried Hydrilla

Fake ID: tried: 0x00000000 and also 0x67601002

 

Can anyone help, and thanks for your time, Nick/Mister Photon
