mats42 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Hi I'm rather new to hackintosh so It migt be a "stupid" question but I'm trying to get a Radeon 7470 card to work with Mavericks and Clover. It's unfortunally a Suppermarket type box with a Locked BIOS so I have to use UEFI and Clover but I got that working after some heavy googleabuse. Now everything works but I'm stuck with 1024X764 and I kind of would like some more Is there anyway to get it better?

Allan Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Hi, and Welcome. In your config.plist create a entry called "ScreenResolution" and enter the right value for you.

mats42 Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 Thank you. I will try that. By the way that was a nice editor. Would you care telling me where I could find it? Seems safer than hacking through textedit. I do not know if it is required but under about this mac/system report/ graphics it says no Kext loaded .... Do i need to do something about that?

mats42 Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 I see that I did a major typo. It's a 7470 Card and I now got it to load the Kext for it but it still says 3 mb of ram and i still can use only 1024X768 but I'm getting closer Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/299524-7470-card-and-mavericks/#findComment-2040843 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mats42 Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 Thanks. What I finally did to make it work was to modify the amd7000controller plist to include my device id. I did copy that kext to my EFI drive (don't know if it is needed) I then did edit my clover config.plist on both my system drive and the EFI drive so that it has a graphics section that says <key>Graphics</key> <dict> <key>Inject</key> <dict> <key>ATI</key> <true/> <key>Intel</key> <false/> <key>NVidia</key> <false/> </dict> <key>InjectEDID</key> <true/> <key>LoadVBios</key> <true/> </dict> 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/299524-7470-card-and-mavericks/#findComment-2040885 Share on other sites More sharing options...
