Hello guys, im new to this forum so if im posting in the wrong section please let me know.
Ill start off by posting Specs...
Intel Core I7-6700 HQ with Intel HD 530 Graphics integrated
Nvidia GTX950M
8 GB DDR4 Ram
Ive been working on getting OSX working on this laptop for weeks now. I have followed some guides that have PC's with similar specs to mine (same processor model, inegrated graphics, secondary graphics) with somewhat a success story however i have reached some minor road blocks and after days of trial and error i have come to the professionals for help. Ill explain what ive done so far, what works and what doesnt below.
What works so far:
I have successfully created an installer, booted the installer, and installed OSX and made it to the desktop all flawlessly. I have used multibeast and kextbeast to install kext for drivers such as ethernet, graphics, ect... BUT!
What doesnt work:
After successful installation of kexts and such, i have failed to get my ethernet and graphics to work. My ethernet is the Killer E2400. i have tried all the kexts provided by multibeast and none work. On the graphics side of things, i selected Intel HD 530 from multibeast and it installed without error (If youre wondering, yes i made sure i was installing the kexts on the drive OSX is installed on, not the installation USB) but when i reboot i am not getting my screens native resolution or hardware acceleration, QE/CI, whatever term you prefer.
(I have followed the guides and in the guides they instruct how to edit DSDT's, but this is the part i dont understand about hackintoshing, and if anyone could reference me anywhere that might help explain or try explaining yourself how it works, that would be great)
As far as everything else goes, what am i doing wrong? Am i missing an important step? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!
