Hackintosh Acer Aspire E5-772G-56CZ

[asb0410]

Hello! I am only a beginner. I have installed El Capitan on my Acer laptop. But, unfortunately, I have a rather big problem with graphics. There is locked InsydeH20 v1.14 UEFI BIOS installed on my laptop. So, I can`t change the setting of DVMT pre-allocated memory size(32mb) even with EFI-shell. I am trying to use the patch for framebuffer, but have no result. Please, help me. I am afraid to mod my bios.

My laptop configuration:

Intel core i5-5200u (hd graphics 5500)
8gb DDR3L 1600MHz
17,3 1920x1080
Nvidia 940m 4gb

My EFI folder is attached below.

P.S. Sorry for my English. I am from Ukraine.

Follow the Clover guide linked from the FAQ.

Pay attention the Broadwell info in the FAQ. It is important.

The minStolenSize patch is in the plists provided in the guide, but disabled. Disabled patches are covered in post #2.

Thank you very much for your reply!
I've read this guide and understood that I should use a config.plist for hd5600 and enable minStolenSize patch. But I haven`t found the guide about enabling patch. Please, send me a link, where i could read instructions.

Disabled patches are covered in post #2 of the guide.

Note: minStolenSize patch not recommended. Always better to set DVMT-prealloc instead. System may be unstable by using the patch.

Yes, I know that setting DVMT-prealloc should be better, but my BIOS is locked. I tried to do it with EFI-shell, but have no result(

I tried to enable a patch provided in your plist. But, it doesn't work. When I boot with -v, I have an "Craphics driver failed to load: couldn't register with a Framebuffer" error. Please, write me, what might I do wrong.

Boot verbose, attach photo. Attach EFI/Clover folder (not EFI folder). Please strip Clover/themes before compressing as ZIP.

Ok.

Ok.

Remove all files from ACPI/patched. Your config.plist is not setup correctly for them anyway.

Also, remove kexts/10.11/AppleIntelBDWGraphicsFramebuffer.kext.

It is not correct to inject Apple provided kexts.

Are you booting the installer or something else?

Clover/kexts/Other is not per guide. Use only the kexts linked from the guide.

The guide recommends Clover v3625. It is not the version you installed (v3556).

Thank's for reply!
I've re-installed my clover. Now I have v3716. After trying your advice I have the same error(lgraphics driver failed to load......), but my Bluetooth became to work.
