villts Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Hi folks! I have installed the retail ML in my Hackintosh (following the InsanelyMac guide! Thank you!) and w/ the strings, my GPU was successfully recognized. But I'm just able to boot in safe mode, with no QE/CI but full resolution. The GeForce was recognized via strings! But why the hell I'm only able to boot in safe mode? And I don't remember exactly, but I had a Mac, and I'm almost sure that QE/CI loads in safe mode... https://www.dropbox....13 16 24 04.jpg this is when I boot in safe mode, just before the login screen https://www.dropbox....13 16 36 22.jpg this is when i boot in normal mode. The screen freezes here Also, I have edited AppleGraphicsPowerManagement kext. I went to my smbios name string, and edited to the GT430 device & vendor ID. When I boot this way (in safe mode), I get a beautiful screen turned off, so I rolled back to the default AppleGraphicsPowerManagement So I took off the GPU and used HD4000 to see the difference. The graphics works resolution and it's recognised with no QE/CI (just like the Geforce, no acceleration because I'm using VGA I guess - with the Geforce I can use DVI or VGA) but BOOTS IN NORMAL MODE, since I'm using VGA and have do edit some stuff. So I have 2 big problems: no QE/CI and no normal mode - this GeForce won't let me boot in normal mode!!! Another thing is that I NEED to use the GeForce, and a lot of people can get it working in hackintosh, it's not fear lol! I work with 3D modelling (I know, a need a bigger screen) in Windows and its huge the difference, since the onboard shares my memory. Here is my recognized GeForce https://www.dropbox.com/s/2qcespqkqtvrcyi/Screen%20Shot%202013-07-17%20at%206.03.44%20PM.png And here is my recognized HD4000 https://www.dropbox.com/s/0nz176bd3dkxl5r/Screen%20Shot%202013-07-17%20at%206.46.15%20PM.png EDIT: Also, I noticed that the verbose mode w/ the HD4000 loads with full resolution. The GeForce verbose stays at 1024x768. I don't know if this changes something. Thank you for the help!

villts Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 SOLVED I booted in windows and I repaired HD4000 was still turned on. So I disabled all its features in BIOS and here we go! I could not boot without safe mode because IntelHD4000 kexts was loading and for sure led to a KP Now the GeForce is 100% working!
