Hi guys! I need your help cause I've tryed, I think, all that I can try and did not solve anything!

So: I have a hd7970m, I can boot to desktop only on my external HDMI monitor, I know this is common but cant solve by myself for 3days of googling and trying...

I will try to provide all info you need to point me on my errors!

Let's begin:

I've using this guide to create my Personality from scratch:

http://rampagedev.wordpress.com/kext-editing/editing-atiamd-framebuffer-personality/

till patching kext, I dont want to do this so I've used Clover method by this thread:

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/291117-how-to-make-radeon-desktop-or-mobility-be-working-by-using-clover/

config.plist.zip

Please dont look at ATIConnectorsData and ATIConnectorsPatch entries, I was experimenting so they are not those I provided below.

 

My vbios I've extracted with atiflash from a bootable usb stick.

 

Output from radeon_bios_decode:

So this is what I've got according to rampagedev guide:

 

 

02000000000100000101000022050004 LVDS?

02000000000100000101000010000105 LVDS?

00040000040300000001000121030202 DP

00080000040200000001000011020301 HDMI

00080000040200000001000012040403 HDMI

10000000040300000001000000100508 VGA

 

 

Tryed this framebufer like this and discarding one of entries for LVDS and VGA, tryed various personalities, always have both black screen (internal and ext. HDMI), only with sleep trick can have ext. monitor working.

Have tryed even this guide of a chinese guy, but same black screen:

https://translate.google.it/translate?hl=it&sl=zh-CN&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fbbs.pcbeta.com%2Fviewthread-1348267-1-1.html

 

I'm quite shure I'm doing a banal error but dont know what error!

Please guys, point me on it!

Thanks a lot for your help!

Ok, I'm figured it out but now I have wired colors on my internal monitor like in this post:

Any idea?

Hi my friend!
I'm using clover injection for Bury personality:


Bury:
02000000000100002905010010000505
00040000040300000009020011020101
00040000040300000009030021030202
00080000040200000001040012040303




mine:
02000000400000000901010010000005
00040000040300000009020011020101
00040000040300000009030021030202
00080000040200000001040012040303

 

 

Like I said before in my second post: on boot I have stranhe colors, I must do sleep/wake to have normal ones.


Our dumps are exactly the same. What was the final connector patch that got your internal LCD working. I'm also confused, how are our dumps the same? You also have two HDMI ports, mini display port, VGA, and switchable graphics on LVDS?

Our dumps are the same cause I'm think we are using same Dell card with same bios! :)

And in this bios I have:

2x unknown devices

1x DP port

2x HDMI ports

1x VGA port

 

In reality I have:

1x LVDS port (second unknown I think)

1x eDP port (first unknown I think)

1x DP

1x HDMI

Hi my friend!

I'm using clover injection for Bury personality:

 

 

Bury:

02000000000100002905010010000505

00040000040300000009020011020101

00040000040300000009030021030202

00080000040200000001040012040303

 

 

 

 

 

mine:

02000000400000000901010010000005

00040000040300000009020011020101

00040000040300000009030021030202

00080000040200000001040012040303

 

 

 

Like I said before in my second post: on boot I have stranhe colors, I must do sleep/wake to have normal ones.

 

I've used that combination before, reported in my thread: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/298207-ati-mobility-radeon-7970m-help-achieving-qeci/

I was using this one before with no success:

02000000400000000901000010000005

 

It seems the only difference between your string and mine is

02000000400000000901010010000005

 

I will give this a try the next time i do hackintosh.

 

Please send me your clover config.plist so I can examine. I think for the color banding problem, another user on here with a 7650M reported that using different senseID fixed his problems with banding (look up user Trucker MK)

Please, leave your email! You can see in my sigh I use MacPro6.1 smbios because:

1. 7970m is the same chip as D300, a litle underclocked

2. I'm waiting a second card so apart CPU it will be MacPro6.1mini :)

 

P.S.: applehacker, dont waste your time on windows, install today Mavericks! :)

I was actually experimenting on Yosemite

Is it too early for Yosemite, is it not? Support for serios apps?

I'm using a lot Premiere Pro for video editing and I have before some incompatibility issues with Mavericks...

So maybe I can wait...
