CC_333 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Hi, I have managed to upgrade my Hackintosh, but now I need to update this driver for my Radeon HD 4650. I have one for 10.9.4 which I will try, but I want to know if there exists a version for 10.9.5. In my searches, I've found drivers for the Mobility version, but this is for a desktop/PCIe x16 card, so I doubt those would work. So, if anyone can either provide me a kext for the desktop 4650, or point me in the direction of one, I'd greatly appreciate it! EDIT: I installed the 10.9.4 kexts, and they appear to be working 100%! Nevertheless, is there's any reason I should have 10.9.5-specific kexts? c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC_333 Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 Send me your vga bios dump file & original kexts, i will try to edit kexts for you. I'll try, but I've never done it before. I will search around and figure it out. c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC_333 Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 Here we go... I think! I used GPU-Z to dump the ROM, and what I have is a 66 KB file. Hopefully this is correct? It's attached to this post, so check it out and let me know. Thanks! EDIT: Oh, and here are the kexts also. c RV730.rom.zip RadeonHD4650kexts.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC_333 Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 Hmm, that looks interesting. Would it work on my BIOS-only Gigabyte GA-EP43-UD3L? c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC_333 Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 Hmm, might give it a try. I still like the notion of having properly modified kexts for native operation without help from whatever bootloader I have, though. c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC_333 Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Excellent! Thank you very much! I recently upgraded my Hackintosh from a C2D E8400 to a C2E QX6850, and it's now experiencing some odd graphical glitches and inconsistent slowness. Maybe this driver will fix it? Underclocking seems to help some, but I'm wondering if maybe some framework or maybe the kernel needs to be patched? OS X sees it as a Xeon of some sort (which, save for some special features specific to the C2E, it is probably otherwise equivalent to), so I'm not sure.... I'll probably post a new topic pertaining to this if I can't figure it out on my own. In the meantime, I'll go try out the newly-patched drivers and see how they work! c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codinger Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 // Delete DSDT and SSDT if any and spoof fake CPU ID maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC_333 Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 It seems to behave the same without those things, but I'll try again (I am using the proper DSDT for my board, however, so I sorta doubt it's the problem). I'll see about spoofing the CPU ID. This same configuration works perfectly under Windows, so I'm strongly inclined to believe the CPU is OK, and OS X is somehow not registering it 100% correctly, so this very well might be the solution. c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
