There is Broadwell info and Clover guide links in the FAQ.

Hi

Thanks for the help I am using your guides and am having trouble changing the allocated video memory in the bios from 64mb to 128mb was wondering if there was any custom EFI shells for the xps or another way of allocating the memory because I don't want to flash the bios with a custom bios in case it bricks the laptop. I can not boot into OS X via Chimera on the Unbeast USB as the laptop refuses to boot from external legacy devices and I can't boot into it via Clover on the SSD because it kernel panics because of the lack of video memory. Other than a custom bios/efi shell, I don't see any other way to change the video memory and get into OS X. :beachball::beachball:

Use Clover. You can use EFI shell to attempt to change DVMT-prealloc, or use the patch that avoids the assertion/panic (see my provided config.pliist).
 
:):) Ok I will try and use the patch
 
Hi I am having trouble booting from USB with UEFI with clover (box ticked saying boot with only UEFI) the Dell doesnt pick up the USB at all through UEFI.

Did you partition as MBR, two partitions, "CLOVER EFI" as FAT32?

Make sure you have secure boot disabled in BIOS, USB boot enabled.

Post output of "diskutil list" with USB plugged in. Post EFI/Clover folder on "CLOVER EFI" partition.
