Hi Macpeet, Could you test something for me. I have come across an annoying issue on my Dell 780 where it does not shutdown correctly. The PC is the exact same spec as your 760 running 10.14.6. When I request a shut down, The screen turns off but the pc remains on with the fan active. Would you compare my config.plist to yours and let me know of any suggestions you may have. config.plist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radarek Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Dell Optiplex 780, 760, 755 etc got integrated VGA onboard graphic card... I am wondering why everyone using dedicated graphic cards? 1st thing: I installed today my first Hackintosh (with some help) on Dell Optiplex 755, OS X El Capitan. Everything went just smootly. All ports (USB, audio) works just great. One problem - I have notice, that video performance is poor . I am not going to play games, just browse the network (simple not demanding tasks). After I've installed chrome/firefox the video starts to froze/suttering. I can really see the darker (almost grey) square around of mouse coursor. Is there any way to impprove the video quality? Now, using integrated card, chipset Q35, Intel DMA 3100 Some other specs: Core2Duo E6550 RAM Memory: 5GB (2x2GB + 2x512MB) 2nd thing: During boot I'm using USB Stick with preinstalled image of Clover and OS X El Capitan. I left one partition and ~500MB to install boot launcher, but I dont know how to do this and what kidnd of kext's should I use (this same from Clover's USB Stick?). I will be grateful for explanation how to do that (some links may help). Thanks in advance for any help, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does that mean for hackintosh? Will all kexts need to be injected? Or any changes to system volume will require a separate command line command?

No but if you Install kext you need read-write disk and SIP Disable This is the command for make the DISK read and write each command follow by Enter sudo mount -uw / killall Finder Edited October 10, 2019 by chris1111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernani Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Hi everyone, I have a Dell Optiplex 780: C2Q Q9400@2,66GHz, 16GB RAM DDR3, Gigsbyte GeForce GT710 2GB. Since my system is dual core, I had to run the mojave2core patch every time I installed a Mojave update, to apply the telemetry patch. Is this needed for Catalina as well? Is there a new patch script that I should use? Thank you in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ernani Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 39 minutes ago, STLVNUB said: The Q9400 is QUAD Core. Should work OOTB My bad. What I meant is that it lacks the SSE4.2 instruction set, forcing 10.14.x and greater into reboot loop, unless you patch the com.apple.telemetry.plugin (or copy it over from a High Sierra installation). Since posting my question I found forum posts mentioning that simply deleting this file from /Volumes/MacOSX/System/Library/UserEventPlugins does the trick. Has anybody upgraded to Catalina with my configuration and is able to verify it please? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacPeet Posted October 18, 2019 Author Share Posted October 18, 2019 Deleting com.apple.telemetry.plugin is enough for Catalina. The 780 with GT710 worked very well with Catalina in the first beta. Since the last updates problems with Blackscreen with under SMBIOS iMac10,1. With SMBIOS iMac13,1 I have picture, but without acceleration. I do not have a solution yet.

d620osx Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Hi I have a Optiplex 790 working well with GT710 on 10.15 only issues I have at the moment are: AppleACPIPlatformPower Wake reason: RTC (Alarm) AppleACPIPlatformPower Wake reason: P0P1 Sound, I am using a USB sound card as could not get the AppleAlc with Lilu, am I doing something wrong or should I jus stick with the usb audio as it is working? The light for the on switch keep showing on and off when the machine is a sleep. Any pointer on how I can try and fix the above please. My clover folder is attached.
