Serpentza Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I've managed to get full resolution with QE & CI on the 2185dx. Both VGA and HDMI working. Thanks to smartie77 (used his shrike patcher and kexts) and Misha Vakulich (for the shrike personalities he posted in mucha's thread). Attached are the kexts I used with instructions. 4650m.zip Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/276436-hp-dv7-2185dx-4650m-full-resolution-with-qe-ci/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordadmiral Drake Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Does your internal screen work correctly too? And which OS X version do you use?

Lordadmiral Drake Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Hmm. then I should try this out as my internal screen is distorted EDIT: I'm on 10.6.7, do you think the kexts will also work there?

Serpentza Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 It should. I think all the dv7 laptops use the same info for internal screen. The shrike personalities i used from Misha worked 100% and he has a different model. I patched the shrike info into both ATI4600 and ATIframebuffer.

Yudistira Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 After I did a research I can make it this qe/ci works on HP DV7 2185dx - 4650m using Mountan Lion 10.8.2 , thanks to Serpentza and smartie77 . 1. I'm installing Hazard 10.6.6i without choose any VGA kext 2. I follow Sepentza guidance to install 4650m.zip 3. hazaed 10.6,61 Qe/Ci works perfect 4. I go to S/L/E and copy all ATI*.kext including all ATIRadeon*.kext to usb drive 5. Install Mountain Lion 10.8.2 6. I follow Sepentza guidance to install 4650m.zip in Mountain Lion 10.8.2 7. Using kext utility I install (replace) all ATI*.kext from the usb drive (that I copied all ATI*.kext there) to S/L/E 8. Restart the mountain Lion 9. Chack on AboutThis Mac/More Info/System report/Graphics/Displays, you can see that Mountain Lion recognised the VGA as ATI Radeon HD 46000 with Vram 1024 MB Chipset Model: ATI Radeon HD 4600 Type: GPU Bus: PCIe Slot: Slot-1 PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 1024 MB Vendor: ATI (0x1002) Device ID: 0x9480 Revision ID: 0x0000 ROM Revision: 113-B1480A-236 EFI Driver Version: 01.00.236 Displays: Display: Resolution: 1600 x 900 Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888) Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Built-In: Yes I you don't want to install Hazard 10.6.6i first and just make it faster with installing Mountain Lion directly and follow step 5 , and using all the ATI*.kext please ask me for the files and I will inform you the location file you can download.
