[Solved] Using GraphicsEnabler=Yes, How?

[Tsur]

Currently, my system:
Gigabyte GA-Z77MX-D3H
SAPPHIRE AMD Radeon HD 6870 1GB GDDR5
Core i5-2500K

is working great. I've got sound, native power management, ethernet, and it's all pretty darned zippy. My only minor quibble is having to use "GraphicsEnabler=No" and then not being able to use DVD player. Changing it to "Yes" causes a KP.

What steps to I need to take to make "Yes" function? I used Multibeast 3.3.1 and UserDSDT for the install. Just to be clear, I'm not using an actual DSDT.

Re: Using GraphicsEnabler=Yes, How?

In /Extra there is a file called
org.chameleon.Boot.plist

There should be a line that says

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
	<string>No</string>

Chaneg that to

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
	<string>Yes</string>

If this Does not exist add the above to the end of the file

Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear. I know how to change it to Yes, but doing so causes a KP. What do I need to do have my system function with the value changed to yes?

Please post a picture of the kernel panic so that we can identify the cause of error.

I would, but there's really nothing to take a picture of, the screen just goes Grey.

I've studied the boot sequence a few times in verbose mode. As far as I can tell, it's the exact same regardless if the value is Yes or No. The last thing it mentions is that there's a device in PCI slot 1, presumably my graphics card. Then, if it's No, it boots to the login screen. If it's yes, it goes grey.

Solved:
AtiConfig=Duckweed

Can now use: GraphicsEnabler=Yes

and DVD Player now works.

You have wrote this in org.chameleon.Boot.plist?

in the future to see what goes on behind the Apple Curtain use a -v switch

links about startup switch's
Something usefull about command line switchs one needs to know !

When you pass GraphicsEnabler=Yes it will tried to detect the inbuilt graphics or attached one.. So, its completely fine using GraphicsEnabler=Yes but for Kernel Panic you can bypass it using -no-zp or in start bootup in safemode (-x), for detailed info you can use -v flags for verbose.
