srsx Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 Read here http://olarila.com/f....php?f=18&t=736 I don't have access to a working Mac now, I assume that I would need to edit these files off of my install drive with the changes in that thread and reinstall?

M83 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 make sure that the Id of your graphics card is listed in AMDRadeonAccelerator.kext ATI6000Controller.kext Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285634-amd-radeon-6670-blackscreens-after-booting/#findComment-1880542 Share on other sites More sharing options...
srsx Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 I followed the guide perfectly updated all of the plists with my devid/vendor id, and it still goes blank. I remembered to repair permissions too EDIT: The permissions the disk perm checker has seems to revert itself after I close Disk Utility.

Frankwolfe Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Hello, I have this same problem, in a way. For ages I just left it as the default GraphicsEnabler=No (in both Lion and ML) because everytime I'd try to fix the whole 6xxx in info it'd do the Black screen bit. The way i fixed it was to do all above (set the driver kext, Bulrushes, Ati ports=3 and GraphicsE=yes after this It booted into the normal black screen. I figured i'd try different wires.. cause you know, who knows if it's actually going to go out through HDMI or VGA. Nothing worked. What ended up working was hooking both DVI and HDMI up at the same time and have them both go to my monitor. Unplug one they both go out, So that's my fix. after that i set the screen to mirror. in case it woke up on the opposite connection. until i get another monitor.

BuXb Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 do I understand correctly - you do the unplug EVERYTIME you boot OS X? BTW, I have two mons, 1 at HDMI, 1 at DVi. Black screen on both unless I choose GraphicsEnabler=No (which delivers full QE/Ci and DVD Player launch DESPITE of generic ATY,AMD,RadeonFramebuffer via ioreg | grep ATY. 10.8.3 Hello, I have this same problem, in a way.
