Hello.

I have a "little" problem. I installed sucessfully Mountain Lion (very easy) on my Dell Inspiron 17R (N7010) but I can't boot with GraphicsEnabler=Yes, so my Graphic Card doesn't work.

At first here are my Laptop and Hackintosh Specs:

 

Laptop:

Processor: Intel Core i3 350M

RAM: 4GB Shared Dual Channel DDR3

Chipset: Mobile Intel 5 Series Express Chipset (HM57)

Graphic Card: ATI Mobility Radeon HD5470 (1024MB)

 

(I guess the rest isn't important for my issue - otherwise please ask for it.)

 

 

Hackintosh:

Operating System: OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

System Definition: MacBook Pro 8,1

Bootloader: Chimera v1.11.1 r1394

(I guess the rest isn't important for my issue - otherwise please ask for it.)

 

 

So now to my Problem:

 

I already add the "0xDeviceIDVendorID" of my ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 (which is: 0x68e01002) in the ATI5000Controller.kext, AMDRadeonAccelerator.kext and ATISupport.kext.

 

Here are the kextstats:

63 1 0xffffff7f8148b000 0x1ea000 0x1ea000 com.apple.kext.AMDSupport (8.0.0) <62 10 9 7 5 4 3 1>

64 0 0xffffff7f81675000 0x49000 0x49000 com.apple.kext.AMD5000Controller (8.0.0) <63 62 10 9 5 4 3 1>

79 0 0xffffff7f81c84000 0x3ce000 0x3ce000 com.apple.kext.AMDRadeonAccelerator (1.0.0) <78 65 62 7 5 4 3 1>

 

 

I also inject the EDID of my Internal Screen/LVDC.

But I can't change the resolution, even if I add a new child-item in the Display.plist.

I guess, because I'm starting with GraphicsEnabler=No ML I can't change the resolution (maybe?)

Here is a picture:

I did nothing with DSDT-Stuff, maybe that could be the fix, but I have no idea how to do that and I even don't see something for my ambition. If you have a good guide how to make a DSDT file, please share it. :D

 

So, I don't know how to continue the way to get my graphic card working and I hope you have the superior knowledge to solve my issue. :rolleyes:

I'm sorry for some gramma mistakes, I'm not a native speaker. I hope you can still get the idea/issue.

 

Thank you.

I tried this method, but still blackscreen with my bootsettings.

But the kext loads:

94 0 0xffffff7f8213e000 0x6000 0x6000 com.dong.driver.ATY_Init (1.0.0d1) <66 10 4 3>

 

I installed it with KextWizard.

In my 'Extensions' folder the kext file 'ATY_Init' has a blue background:

post-1092220-0-37015000-1359755078_thumb.png

What does that mean?

 

Should I also add my "0xDeviceIDVendorID" in the IOPCIMatch of the ATY_Init Info.plist?

 

 

Thank you, that you try to help me. :)

Remove all modified kext texts that you have installed and change your aticonfig like that:

 

<key>AtiConfig</key>

<string>Hoolok</string>

 

Use graphicenabler = yes without pcirootuid, dont ask me why, It just work for me.

 

On my research I found that this card is natively supported, so no need of kexts, and randomly found the solution when I edit my boot plist and made a mistake with the ati config framebuffer name

 

Good luck
