Guest ricoc90 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 (edited) Back in the days I was running Mavericks and Yosemite on a FX 8120 in combination with a XFX Radeon HD 7850 and it wouldn't work without a patched framebuffer because the personalities in the 7000controller kext did not match with my card, thus I would always have a black screen. I need to admit that I don't know how that's done using WhateverGreen but all I did back then was changing the port layout (I can't really remember what I did exactly because it's 5 years ago, but I believe the framebuffer had a hdmi connector on port 1 whereas my card had a DVI connector on that port so I changed that) Edited August 26, 2019 by ricoc90 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/340000-ati-hd7850-gray-screen-in-mojave-10146/#findComment-2687351 Share on other sites More sharing options...

linvers Posted August 28, 2019 Author Share Posted August 28, 2019 @Cyberdevs I've resolved this problem. ATI HD7850 graphics card only mini DP ports can working fine. When I installed the macOS by vanilla USB Driver, I got a new problem with the clover boot loader. When I boot macOS from the EFI partition. the boot hangs at here. so how to fix it. same EFI configuration.

What did you change in the EFI folder? it was booting the last time you used it EFI I sent you correct?
