Slice Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I took a card AMD Radeon R7 240 (ASUS) 1GbDDR3 for one day testing and got it to work. DeviceID=0x6613 This is low cost card (50$) and works worse then my HD6670. Screenshots: This is Oland family that is not supported in Mavericks. May be it will be better in Yosemite. Nonetheless I made by Clover-rev3150 the follow: Devices->FakeID->ATI=0x67981002 (in Yosemite it will be better 6640) Graphics->Inject->ATI=true ->FBName=Futomaki Voila! The card has UEFI BIOS and works in native resolution 1920x1080 even without drivers. No acceleration but good color if no drivers. PS. On screenshot you may see model "GA Radeon6670". It is injected for my previous card. I just forgot to change the name. It is easy with Clover. EDITED. Make sure your DSDT contains GFX device. Else FakeID patch may not work. It can be obtained by Clover DSDT fixes: ACPI->DSDT->Fixes->FixDisplay_0100=true 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm planning on buying this card since it's the cheapest one that will run my lg 34um95 resolution on 50 hz. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slice Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 What do you mean with 'no acceleration'? You mean it doesn't have qe/qi? No, I mean that it can work OOB without acceleration. But my way it works WITH ACCELERATION. See screenshots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to buy the exact card you used, but asus says it maximum resolution is 1920x1200, but over hdmi a r7 240 should go to 4k. Do you know if the asus 1gb also supports 4k?

pokenguyen Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hi slice, do you mean that it should be FakeID=66401002 AMD8000Controller.kext in Yosemite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slice Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hi slice, do you mean that it should be FakeID=66401002 AMD8000Controller.kext in Yosemite? Yes, I think so while I didn't test it because I have no Yosemite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toekimarks Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Chameleon has no such possibility. GraphicsEnabler has many bugs and not compatible with new cards. Sorry, no way. Today I received my new graphics card. It's a r7 250 instead of a r7 240 that wasn't in stock. I used this kext: http://www.hackintoshosx.com/files/file/4109-newfastest-109-amd-r7-250-lastest-driver/ but if I boot i get a white screen. I read in another topic that your above method will work with the 250 as well. Can you explain in small steps to me how to do this, since I've never used clover. (I thought clover was meant for uefi only) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slice Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Clover is not UEFI only. See my signature, old computers with PC bios are also controlled by Clover. First step. Download Clover package. Recent revision is 3185. Second. Install it. Third. Edit config.plist as I said in first post. Edit by TextEdit.app. Next try to boot. Unfortunately you may have no success with first attempt. Check your steps thoroughly and if you found no mistakes prepare a report what you was doing and what was the result.

I managed to install the clover, but now I get the missing bluetooth controller error. Still, if I boot with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] usb chameleon bootloader I can boot fine. I already removed the intelhd kexts but that didnt solve the problem. I hope you can help me with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toekimarks Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I was wondering if the error maybe had to do with migrating from chameleon to clover,so I decided to create a fresh clover usb installer. But then clover doesnt load at all. I only get a black screen with al white stripe in the left top corner. The same happened when booting clover from the hdd with the usb drive connected. Any idea on how to solve this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slice Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Thousands ideas. You can boot with Chameleon? So your graphics cards works fine with it?! I think you mean boot without graphics. VESA mode. To do the same you have to press Space on hard disk icon and choose "safe mode". "Bluetooth controller... bla-bla.." means your graphics is not ON.

You are wright about the usb issue. I am currently booting from the usb and after 10 minutes it says welcome to clover, so its just really slow. I will try to fix that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toekimarks Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 No, setting the log to false didn't solve the problem. So I can't reach clover. I'm really out of ideas, so I think I am just gonna install yosemie with unib and then install clover over it. I think that's my last shot. Do you have any ideas?

Maniac10 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 There are a ton of guides here (my favourite collection, choose between legacy or UEFI) to make a bootable USB drive with Clover. Follow any of those before going with the "unib", which most likely won't solve your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toekimarks Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I think I have tried anything possible now. Both yosemite and mavericks installs wont boot with clover. They both get stuck at the bluetooth thing. I even tried another two graphic cards but still the same error. Whit chameleon they all boot fine. Is there anything you can think off I need to change? I used the non uefi configuration of clover from here http://skylineosx.com/installation/switching-from-chameleonchimera-to-clover/ Creating a bootable clover usb also doesnt work. I still cant reach past the welcome to clover screen. I adjusted the config like you said but no luck there. I really appreciate your help.

toekimarks Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Can you please help me? I have another week in which I can return this card, so it would be great to know if it works or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slice Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 I said how to make it working. I shown screenshots to prove my words. This is the card which I used to test my method to do any Radeon working. Yes, it works. If you want a help you should attach your logs else no ground to speak.

toekimarks Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Like I said in this topic I created http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/305086-amd-radeon-r7-250-hdmi-working-in-mavericks/ I've got the card working fine except for HDMI audio and some freezings in preview for example when I open a HQ picture. Maybe the card just can't handle 3440x1440 properly. But I'm still using chameleon, because clover won't boot, no matter what graphics card I use. I also think I made clear which error occurs so I think I've done what I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
