Nolis Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Hey I have a full working System running OSX 10.7.4 on Gigabyte UD5 MOBO, and an Nvidia GT520 graphic card.. working really perfect since over a year.. No I changed the GT520 to an SAPPHIRE VAPOR-X HD 4890 2GB.. the System is booting up, but hangs on a white screen exactly before the login screen appears.. and the boodloader is flashing something like: Bad display config Block signature for a second or so, before switching to the apple logo with the spinning wheel... also tried to boot -v -x last line is: DSMOS has arrived //but nothing is coming up and I also see a line: NVDAGF100HAL loaded and registered. //isn't this an Nvidia Driver thing ?

Nolis Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 I have installed now the 48xxExotic10-7-4 hdmi kexts into System/Library/Extensions/ and I deleted the Extensions.mkext from the Extra folder + Insert into the org.chameleon.Boot.plist this lines <key>AtiConfig</key> <string>Motmot</string> <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1920x1080x32</string> <key>GraphicsEnabler</key> <string>Yes</string> but no effect here is the screenshot where it hangs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolis Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 It can not be a big thing ? I set Graphics Mode to No and system boots up perfectly, I repaired system premissions and set back to Graphics Mode Yes, System Boot but don't show the screen (hangs at the apple logo)... so no I simply type in my password and hit enter without seeing anything.. and now this computer appears in the Network (can access with my Macbook onto).. so means that the system is running and up but just no graphic displayed... ?? what can I do...

alexanderq Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 What about ati personality editing?I think this is your problem if you boot ok with Graphics enabler disabled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolis Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 well I got it so far.. I didn't clean the kext cache.. now everything is working.. just the System Profiler shows 1GB instate of two... how can I personality edit the card... by the way the guys use this card.. is there a way to use DVI (Master Display) HDMI (Second Display).. and maybe the VGA as 3 Display ? for now just DVI and VGA works separately for Dual Display... (didn't tried the display port)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolis Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 Oh man, I don't think I can do that easily... can anybody custom the driver for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Zarniwoop Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Chameleon started adding basic recognition sometime around r1980 or so for this card, I have one and supplied the info for it. It's still a reasonable card for my use. The regular patched QE/CI exotic drivers have always worked fine for me. I have hacked the personalities to support simultaneous dual-link DVI+HDMI displays. Scroll down for my patched drivers: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/258665-how-to-enable-hdmi-dp-dvi-output-on-ati-4890-4870-4850-4830-series-testing/page__st__20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
