Monq Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Nope still works The screen turns off at the login screen. Like on Yosemite without those Clover configuration options. Also, I see you have a 290X, which is not what I have, a regular 290. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavo Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 if you get the 290 working in 10.10 you can use the same method to get it working in 10.11 just add rootless=0 as a bootflag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monq Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Nah nothing. Same exact configuration, save for having moved /kexts/10.10 to /kexts/10.11. It just does not work. I hope more people will come around to say the same to know I'm not alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The system turns on as if there was no GPU acceleration at all. Do I need to keep the ATIConnectorsController/ATIConnectorsData/ATIConnectorsPatch settings from Yosemite?

Well, just to avoid a pointless discussion, I am going to attach my current config.plist file. You had a few things wrong in the Graphics section, no need for setting Dual Link, VRAm or ports and no need to load vbios or patch vbios, I have corrected your config see attached. Also how are you saving these files, they have a .doc extension, you should not be using wordpad notepad or texteditor to work with a .plist it can corrupt it. config.plist.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomSquirrel Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 hey, i tried this method and everything is running smoothly on a fresh os x 10.0.3 yosemite install. thanks so far. however (as said in the op), only one of my three monitors is working. which is super-nasty, b/c if i wanted to stick to a single screen i'd use a macbook. has there been any recent workarround?

Buddz1990 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Sorry for my bad english but i have some information i want to share with you guys ! This is for everyone with a Sapphire Radeon R9 290 Tri-X OC AND a Intel HD Graphics 4600 Desktop who is using Clover as their bootloader - i finally could get both units to work proper with full acceleration on 10.10.3, which means i can usw 2 Displays without any glitches or slowdowns or something =) BIG THANKS to the Member Audiohacks for sending me the oh so needed files for the R9 ! First of all enter your UEFI/BIOS and set the intel gpu as the initial gpu What i did for the R9 to get to work: 1. Install the Kexts R9 290 10.10.3 Files.zip ( i repeat: i did this on 10.10.3 so i dont know about other versions ) 2. open your clover config.plist in Devices -> ATI -> paste 0x67B01002 in Graphics -> FB Name -> paste Baladi VRAM -> paste 4096 Video Ports -> 4 Check LoadVBios in Kernel and Kext Patches -> ATI Connectors Data paste: 000400000403000000010300120403030004000004030000000101001102010100040000040300000001020021030202000400000403000000010400220504040004000004030000000105001000050500040000040300000001060020010606 -> ATI Connectors Patch paste: 000800000402000000010200220502030004000004030000000101011204010100040000040300000001020021030202040000001402000000010300110203040004000004030000000105001000050500020000040200000001040110000406 ATI Connectors Controller -> 8000 Save and reboot and now your R9 290 should work fine with one port in use (ive tested hdmi and dvi) What i did to get the Intel HD Graphics 4600 Desktop to work: 1. open your clover config.plist in Devices -> IntelGFX -> paste 0x04128086 on the right sight check ->UseIntelHDMI in Graphics -> check Inject Intel Save and reboot and now also the Intel GPU should run flawlessly Check out the screenshots below! im so happy to finally get what i wanted all the time..ive been trying around for so long and been searching the net like hell and somehow it all worked now =) i really hope i could help someone with this little guide! bless!

What happens on your XFX? Do you get a hanging blank screen or does it still "kinda" works? Also, are the port arrangements the same on your XFX and Sapphire cards?
