indiandragon Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Did you put your DSDT in /EFI/Clover/ACPI/Patched folder ? In your config.plist, did you set DSDT.aml (or whatever you named it) in the ACPI section ? If so, you shouldn't need to check Inject ATI. But if it's just for the install, you can still remove your DSDT from your USB Install media and check Inject ATI. Not sure if it'll work cause as stated above, I had troubles with Clover and HD 5450 injection and had to finaly edit kexts info.plist to make it works. But guys, Chameleon is still alive !!! There's a perfectly working USB Install package with Chameleon in the InsanelyMac Yosemite's installation section http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/301138-new-usb-installer-os-x-yosemite-chameleon-enoch-r2403/. I'm using it for all my Hacks (AMD & nVidia) and I've got a bunch of them ! It works perfect with non edited kexts (no QE/CI but who cares, it's just an install media) AND patched DSDTs ! Infact I would love to use Chameleon as it was the one I was using for all these years. But, since there’s no way we could use Messages, FaceTime anymore with Chameleon I got no other option but to switch to Clover. Seems, as you say we cannot use HD5450 with clover without patching the kexts manually. What a bummer ! I’ll post my results when done. Oh my, I don’t find our AMDRadeonX3000.kext in the Install media created by the chameleon yosemite installer tool you shared above. Has the kexts changed? The only AMD kexts available in 10.10 install media are, AMD2400Controller.kext AMD2600Controller.kext AMD3800Controller.kext AMD4600Controller.kext AMD4800Controller.kext AMD5000Controller.kext AMD6000Controller.kext AMD7000Controller.kext AMD8000Controller.kext AMD9000Controller.kext AMDFramebuffer.kext AMDSupport.kext @polyzargone Which kexts did you edit in your setup ?

polyzargone Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 That's right, Chameleon still not works with FT & iMessages. I don't use those features so it's not a big issue for me. But I know the guys behind Chameleon are working hard to fix it and it seems there's some progress. So keep the faith, it'a matter of time I was advising the USB Chameleon installer in case you had problems to boot the Yos installer with Clover and Radeon HD 5450 cause I'm almost sure that there's no problem (beside others setup considerations) to have success with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you tell me whether AMDRadeonX3000.kext will be available only after installation and not on the USB install media ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polyzargone Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Yes indeed, there's no AMDRadeonX3000.kext in the install media. But don't worry, it'll be back when the Installation is done. For the installation process, I did not patch any kext, I've just modified the /Extra/Extensions folder and org.chameleon.Boot.pliist to fit my setups needs. No more. For post install, it's the old way, just edit info.plist for AMDRadeonX3000.kext & AMD5000Controller.kext. Repair, permissions, update cache with sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions and that's it.

indiandragon Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 @polyzargone, So patching the required kexts with device ID looks the only solution to enable HD5450 with Clover. It works, but my display resolutions are wrong ? How did you get your display resolution right ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polyzargone Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Did you set ATI Injection to Yes in config.plist ? If so, then change it to No and reboot. Otherwise, I don't know. I didn't had this problem with edited kexts and Clover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvonlinee Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I don't have the same hardware. But you can try this device id out. I try it, it work for me on the desktop with Radeon 7870 and 7850. I follow the guide on oralia website, search term is basic about Nvidia kext. http://olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=154 It was help me for the old dell xps 410. This one with chameleon bootloader the value of PciRoot=4, with clover the PciRoot=0. It help me to install Maverick on XPS 410 carry gtx9800+, with the newer card such the Kepler gtx660ti the value is differ than. By the way, with the value from the line code from terminal, you can inject into config.plist or org.chameleon.boot.plist. Then load the system with stock kext, don't need to modify any kext.

polyzargone Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 @TORM3NTO What's your 10.8 version ? On Mountain Lion, you have to patch AMDRadeonAccelerator.kext. AND AMD5000Controller.kext. Have a look here http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/283298-guide-ml-108x-dell-optiplex-780-760/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TORM3NTO Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Hey man, I'm on mavericks.. is it the same procedure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polyzargone Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 It's easier First : BACKUP the kexts your are about to modify !!! You should also make a copy on your desktop because the OS won't let you edit them "live" from S/L/E Just right-click on AMD5000Controller.kext then Show Package content. Open info.plist with a text editor (PlistPro Editor is more appropriate). Look for IOKitPersonalities then IOPCIMatch then add your device ID. Yours is 68F9 so it translates into 0x068F91002 Look at the others device IDs to understand how it works. Save. Do the same for AMDRadeonX3000.kext but this time, look for AMDCedarGraphicsAccelerator in IOKitPersonalities. Again, add your device ID to IOPCIMatch. Save. Use Kext Wizard to copy back those two kexts to S/L/E and check Make a backup. Once done, open a terminal window and type : sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions You can also repair permissions on the whole disk using Disk Utility. Reboot and enjoy. (No need for GraphicsEnabler=Yes in org.chameleon.Boot.plist) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TORM3NTO Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I modified the kexts but the kext wizard doesn't let me install them, they appear gray. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polyzargone Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Come on ! It's really easy ! Open Kext Wizard then choose Install in the tools bar. Drag n'drop the kexts, select /System/Library/Extensions as a destination and your HDD as the target, check Make backup then click the Install button at the right bottom of the window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TORM3NTO Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 nada man.. I saved Info.plist but in the wizard it stays gray. I put the file on my desktop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polyzargone Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Wait, you're not trying to install info.plist do you ? Once you modified info.plist, you just have to close the windows. It's the .kext file that must be installed with Kext Wizard. Have a look at this example (it's in french but it's the same) : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TORM3NTO Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 ohh then there is a problem.. The info.plist inside the kext files are not writable (even though I changed the permissions and added my account) so it duplicates the .plist file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polyzargone Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 OK Let's start over. Do all the steps I mentionned but save info.plist on the desktop. Then drag n'drop info.plist from your desktop to the Contents foder in the package of the kext. It will ask you admin password to overwrite the existing info.plist. Do the same for the second kext. Then select the two .kexts and drag n'drop on the Kext Wizard window, just like in the screenshot. Click install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polyzargone Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 What about System Info ? Could you make a screeshot of the Monitor/Video section ? open a terminal window and type sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions Reboot with -f -v UseKernelCache=No GraphicsEnabler=No Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
