  1. Hi Artur, thanks for the reply. So I followed your instructions and used Kext Wizard to install the modified ATI5000Controller and AMDRadeonAccelerator Kexts. Copied my modified boot.plist file with the values I put in my last post, restarted and disabled the HD4000 in BIOS and reconnected the graphics card and booted. Now It just boots to the grey Apple fabric background, no login window. Restarted and added GraphicsEnabler=No to the boot option in Chimera - Same Rebooted to SafeBoot - Same Reenabled and reconnected the HD4000 and booted using GraphicsEnabler=No - Same. Any idea on how to get this to work so I can try and change the Framebuffer to Zonalis? As I was reading about someone else who had luck with that and a 5850. Edit Always don't think to try the simple things lol (although in my defense it was 6 in the morning when I originally posted this). It occurred to me on the bus on the way into work that the fabric screen usually shows on a second monitor when the first is in full screen mode, so perhaps the card was not automatically detecting displays and manually outputting the 2nd display signal through DVI which I had my monitor plugged into. Juts got home, connected my second monitor to the DVI port, and my main monitor to the HDMI port on the 5850 and low and behold, got the log in screen. Booted in and the resolution was set to 800x600 but was able to change this in System Preferences> Display to 1080p. QE seems to be working fine, my menu bar is translucent and Mission Control is working smoothly. Just ran Luxmark to test OpenCL and got a score of 574, so take it that is working as well Thanks for your help Artur, thanks to your original post and response to my questions I now have a fully 100% working Hackintosh.
  2. Hi there. Just built a new PC and installed OS X. Everything is working great apart from my Asus EAH5850 DirectCU, so using the Intel HD4000. I did edit the chameleon boot.plist file with some of the ATI info apart from the frame buffer, and did not edit any of the kexts in the instructions and although it did boot to my log in screen, I could not type or use the mouse and ended up having to reinstall. Then came across this thread, and was thrown a bit as the ATI5000Controller kext had no info.plist to modify. I do have a MacBook Pro so copied the extensions from there. I have edited all 3 kexts with the Device ID and Vendor ID - 6899 and 1002, and have added the following to my org.chameleon.boot.plist: AtiConfig Uakari GraphicsEnabler Yes The modified files are currently on my desktop, and just wanted to check I've done it right before I use them to replace the existing files. In AMDRadeonAccelerator Kext I have modified the IOPCIMatch under Cypress. It only had 2 entries - 0x68981002 and 0x68991002 (which as I understand it is the one I want), do I need to put mine first, is it fine as it is or would it be worth removing the first one altogether? Same question for ATI5000Controller, it has several entries and I can see mine there already. ATISupport.Kext is easy enough as it did not have 0x68991002 so modified that. Once the kexts are correct, do I just move them into /System/Libraries/Extensions and authenticate to replace the existing ones or would it be better to use something like Kext Utility to run a permissions repair on them afterwards? Sorry if this is a bit long winded, I just don't want to have to face another reinstall. Thanks in advance.
