Hi all,
I am trying to get Mavericks booting using Clover EFI.
Here is my spec:
Asus G73SW
Nvidia GFX 460M (No intel card along side it)
12GB RAM
I am using the Olarila Mavericks USB image, Mavericks installs fine and I can hit the desktop using the USB stick. It would be worth noting that I get full acceleration just doing this, so clover obviously picks up on my card and does whatever it does best.
I copied the contents of the Olarila USB to another keydrive so I could have a play with it, but I am not getting very far
The trouble starts when I try and remove disabler.kext in order to get stepping working. For this I need to have Asus AICPM checked, and I also use the Drop OEM tables and either use my own SSDT (generated with revogirl's script) or tell Clover to generate the states for me. I am only removing the disabler.kext from the Clover 10.9 folder, all other kexts remain in there (including FakeSMC).
When I boot like this, I just get a black screen right about the time I would hit the desktop. It looks like the display has actually been turned off, it's not just black. I tried plugging into VGA and HDMI also, but no luck. The next thing I tried was to use the "Display Fix" option in clover, but this gives me a KP stating "cannot find driver for platform". This is the same if I boot from MBR or EFI.
I found a post where somebody suggested removing the NVDA and Geforce kexts, but I do not think this will help, as I do not have an Integrated Intel card.
Most of the clover guides say "Don't touch it if you don't know what it is!" which might explain why I haven't had any luck trying different combos with Clover Configurater.
Any help and / or pointers would be very much appreciated.
Attached is my SSDT, DSDT, config.plist.
