Framebuffer is not initializing.

1. Did you remember to re-patch your IOKit for pixel clock?
2. Post your Clover config.plist
3. Verify BIOS allocated memory (DVMT pre-alloc) is set to 96MB (System Agent (SA) Configuration -> Graphics Configuration)
4. Ensure Clover kexts folder contains:
   FakePCIID.kext
   FakePCIID_HD4600_HD4400.kext

Note your raw DSDT/SSDT are nearly identical to mine:

Some bios differences might still be there.

Update:

Did a comparison of the decompiled files. No special differences which should affect anything.

@ Rehabman and DarkVoid thank you both for your help.
i update to the 10.10.2 thinking it hopfully sorts all my issues out.
i have redone all the patches using DarkVoids scrip. All the patches compiled with no errors but upon restart I can't boot back into desktop :

Something strange is happening.

Note the "Waiting for DSMOS" *after* "DSMOS has arrived"??

His compiled DSDT's were also not what I expected. Not what my script should generate.
So I re-generated them, lets see when spud comes back with updates.

Besides the DSMOS arrival in his log, it also says "/etc/rc.server" is missing.
I wonder why its looking for that on a desktop installation.

Great to hear stich86. Maybe you can use your experiences and either fork vbo's or my repository and create a guide for the XPS12 users out there?

Check the disassembled files for literal pattern '*/)' (without the quotes).

If you see that pattern (useless iasl comments), then the correct iasl was not being used.

No, it looks like the right iasl was used.

Just my script is supposed to generate a certain number of .aml files and not all of them were there.
I decompiled, patched and compiled the raw AML files spud sent, so lets see what the result is.
