osx151212 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) Hello, I have a computer (P7H55M-LX mainboard) with Sierra (10.12.6) which was using GeForce 8400GT and works perfectly (sleep and wake). I decided to give a try other video card XFX ATI Radeon 5770 1GB instead time tested GeForce 8400GT. Clover boot loader config.plist was modified in 'Graphics' section to include InjectATI, FB Vervet, 4 connectors. The boot process stopped at 'white apple on black background'. I have rebooted the computer and booted with options '-f -x -v' and FixDisplay DSDT patch. The computer booted but right at login it was clear the acceleration does not work. Further I checked out 'About this Mac' and it looks like ATI Radeon 5770 is recognized (confirmed with preboot.log) but amount of VRAM is 7MB instead of 1GB. I've attempted to edit config.plist and add VRAM 1024 (MB) but next boot still shows only 7MB. What am I doing wrong? Please let me know what information you will require to assist in resolution of this issue. NOTE: I have no previous experience with ATI Radeon cards in hackintosh. Thank you, osx151212 bootlog.txt Edited September 11, 2018 by osx151212 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HmO Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 You need two kext Lilu and WhateverGreen, put this kext into EFI/Clover/kexts/Other, disable inject ATI, disable FBName and boot your system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osx151212 Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 Hi, I've following 'Graphics' section in CLOVER config.plist file <key>Graphics</key> <dict> <key>Inject</key> <dict> <key>ATI</key> <false/> </dict> <key>LoadVBios</key> <false/> <key>PatchVBios</key> <true/> </dict> and following kexts/10.12 bash-3.2# ls kexts/10.12 AppleHDADisabler.kext RealtekRTL8111.kext WhateverGreen.kext.dSYM Lilu.kext VoodooHDA.kext WhateverName.app Lilu.kext.dSYM WhateverGreen.kext bash-3.2# at boot time I see Apple logo and progress bar reaching close to 45% -- and screen stays not changed after that. I am able to login the machine over ssh and can mount EFI partition -- it allows me to modify content of EFI partition and to reboot the machine. I also have checked that /System/Library/Extensions/AMD5000Controller.kext/Contents/Info.plist has following section <key>IOPCIMatch</key> <string>0x68981002 0x68991002 0x68E01002 0x68E11002 0x68D81002 0x68C01002 0x68C11002 0x68D91002 0x68B81002 0x68B01002 0x68B11002 0x68A01002 0x68A11002 </string> my graphics card matches -- 0x68B81002 osx151212 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
