QE_CI Exotic Patch 10.11.6

@fantomas1

I actually followed your much earlier suggestion to others and modified info.plist in AMD4800Controller.kext. (+repair permissions, rebuild cache)

<key>IOName</key>
      <string>AMD4800Controller</string>
<key>IOPCIMatch</key>
      <string>0x94401002 0x94421002 0x944a1002</string>

Do I need to change something before using patch kext on the fly?

 

More background info:

1) I noticed the system has AMDSupport, AMD4800Controller and ATIRadeonX2000 loaded. I don't have AMDFramebuffer loaded, although it is located under s/l/e. Does this make any difference?

2) Clover recognizes full spec of 4850 - judging from the clover boot log. I think it is OS X which did not recognize the VRAM, correct?

Then boot in first w/o cache + debug feature + SIP disabled

 

If the patch on the fly has been worked correctly, once on the desktop, you should have QE_CI enabled.

 

Then repair permissions + rebuild the cache, remove Debug feature, enable SIP and boot w/ cache 

 

EDIT:  be sure you have untouched vanilla kexts before using clover patch

Can you help me with my Mac Pro 1.1 running El Capitan 10.11.3 and Radeon HD 4890? I've tried to install this patch but it didn't change anything. After installing the OS the GPU worked right away but it's really sluggish when opening launchpad or using safari etc.

 

I have disabled SIP and tried to install the kexts using Easykext. Only ATIRadeonX2000 and AMDSupport are loaded. 

added QE_CI Exotic Patch 10.11.4

 

enjoy!

Hi tommiot

 

There is missing infos in Info.plist of AMD4800Controller.kext - I had to reupload the file. Please download new file and retry.

 

Or if you want to install the last 10.11.4, then 10.11.4 patch is available now.  

 

Good luck!

I continue to have this issue with El Capitan 10.11.4 and Radeon HD 4890.  After the patch I do get two monitors which I didn't have before the patch, but I still get ripping and sluggish behavior.  Any suggestions?

How do I make (is it possible) binary patch for HD4850 (0x9442 0x1002) in Sierra? This is the first time I am trying to make it work with Clover. I know how to change .plist in these two kexts, but the part with binary patch is giving me a headache - how do I get the values that need to be replaced? Thanks! And thank you for your great work with exotic patch!

Hi Morpheus NS  

 

Your HD4850 does not need binary patch - 0x94421002 device-id is already present in ATIRadeonX2000.kext but not in AMD4800Controller.kext.

 

All what you have to do is to tell Clover to "patch on the fly" this kext by injecting your device-id into Info.plist (of AMD4800Controller.kext).

 

For more information, take a look at this thread (it is in French but you should have any trouble to understand the trick    ).

 

Good luck.  

For some reason Clover patch is not working, but 0x944a1002 FakeID with InjectATI works perfectly fine.

I'm glad for you 

Does it work the same with the full MacOs Sierra? because I'm having troubles after the update.

No, it does not - You have to install Sierra exotic patch: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/564-qe-ci-exotic-patch/
