AppleIntelE1000e (0x1503) in Mountain Lion

[MrSmith3101]

Would you mind showing your connector table for the Mountain Duckweed final table?

Here are mine for Lion starting in Duckweed 176800:

04 00 00 00 14 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 05 05
00 08 00 00 04 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 22 05 06 04
00 02 00 00 04 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 11 02 03 06
00 04 00 00 04 03 00 00 00 01 00 00 12 04 04 01

Thank you again for the info on the line with the personalities in Mountain Lion.

I'm glad to help you bro!

This is my ML Duckweed code starting at 179744

00 04 00 00 04 03 00 00 00 01 00 00 12 04 01 01

00 08 00 00 04 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 22 05 04 04

00 02 00 00 14 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 06 05

04 00 00 00 04 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 11 02 05 06

Looks very similar to me. But it's not exactly the same as yours.

Yes, it does but some of my connectors are on different lines. All of my connectors work perfectly in Lion with no mouse lags and full acceleration. I can use 3 monitors at the same time as well.

How do your connectors work in Mountain Lion. I can see the default table is the same in Lion as it is in Mountain Lion. I will change the table to my table that works in Lion and post back in the next few hours.

BTW my card is the 4 port Sapphire 6870.

One more thing, how did you figure out what line Duckweed was on if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks again for the help. I have been posting this question in a lot of places and have received no answers. Including the thread from Tony Martinez.

Hmm I think we are talking about the exact same card!!! Is this your card? https://www.drivecity.de/images/product_images/1280/727155_0__8364907.jpg

I think it doesn't matter which connector is first in the line. The values are the importen ones!

I also took my data from my Lion installation! And in Lion my 6870 worked perfect and so in Mountain lion! So you can defiantly use the table from lion in mountain lion.

Currently I'm writing this post from mountain lion and I watch an 720p youtube video on my TV which is connected via HDMI. So I'm using 2 monitors right now.

Keep me up to date I'm very interested if it worked for you!

Edit after your edit

I had the exact same problem. I searched day's in forums and found nothing about editing personalities in mountain lion. I found out that I had the same problem in Mountain Lion than I had a long time ago in Lion. In Lion before I changed the kext (I downloaded a working one for my card) I also had only one monitor running. So it was exact the same problem! A Deja Vu? Coincidence? No Then I tried to search a special code line from the lion kext in the mountain lion kext. It was the exact line that I know that worked with my monitor. AND BAAAM! MATCH! So I found out the starting line of the duckweed personality in mountain lion ATI6000 kext.
It was luck that there was only one line that matched

Yep, same card. I'll let you know how it works out. All these posts of these cards not working, and there are about 40 or so on this site, could probably be fixed if they would just edit the connectors instead of trying all the different personalities.

Would you mind telling me how you knew where to find the Duckweed line of code in the ML ATI6000 Kext?

I have edited my last post. Sorry I was a little bit to late

Yeah I'm really playing with the idea to make an guide for my build or something of that!!!

Great work. I would have never thought of that. It can be quite challenging to figure this stuff out. If you made a guide or just posted a kext that works it would really help a lot of people. It could also be included in MultiBeast somehow I assume. It would definitely be a large project but it would fix the problems so many people have with graphic cards.

Thank's man! At building a hackintosh you have to try EVERY possible solution to solve the problem. One of them will probably work. It was really hard work but now I'm very happy with my build. A had a lot of problems but now it works like a charm.


I definitely will do something with my knowledge! Maybe a real guide + uploading my edited kext ore something like this. There are many people with similar problems. Getting AMD cards to work can be really challenging.
My only "problem" with writing a guide is that I'm from austria and therefore my english is not the best

Wow, Austria what a beautiful place. I have been through Austria from Salzburg to Liechtenstein and it reminded me of where I live. I'm in Montana right next to Glacier Park in the Rocky Mountains. I do believe Austria is more beautiful though. So much culture. I really had a great time visiting there several years ago.

Anyhow your english is fine and your guide would be very much appreciated!!!

Wow the Rocky Mountains!!! Awesome place! I really have to visit them some time. Salzburg is a really nice place too! I'm glad you like Austria! I live in a small town near Vienna.

Thank you very much I will do it very soon! I think I will start writing the guide tomorrow. Hmm okay I have to say today. Cause in Austria it's 02:15am

Edit: I mean am not pm...

Ouch, better get some rest. I'll post back on how things go for me.

Take care
