With that I can't help you with. My advise: Use the left side ;)

According to post #15 8560w has only three cards whitelisted, while the 8460p has five cards (one is that 582564-002). In #25 a BIOS decompilation (F60A, for 8560w) has been made. A BCM43224 is mentioned there that could work. Still a high risk. If you really want to go for a working solution...

No, haven't tried it yet. Thinking about trying a Broadcom 43224AGN with part number 582564-002 (not -001, that is reported not to work). There is still a high risk with that card. A working solution is mentioned here by shpokas01...

Here it is, just with vanilla PBI CE 6.2.17 and working screen. Thanks a lot!

Can I offer some help? What can I extract something from that copied ioreg that could help for further steps? I found [Guide] Patching DSDT/SSDT for LAPTOP backlight control, but that seems to be valid for Intel HD graphics and not for a Laptop with no Intel graphics but Nvidia.

Just a further update: Sleep: It is working right now. Tried it 5x today, no panic, no reboot. I don't know what the change was. Maybe there was some weird condition the first time. If this is reproducible later one, I'll post it here Touchpad: pinch/zoom and three-finger gesture won't work...

That was a nifty idea :thumbup: Voilà, here is the ioreg made with the SSDT-1.aml given some posts before.

Thanks for generating that file! Put the SSDT-1.aml into the PBI CE generated patched folder and left the set NVCAP value within config.plist. Boot was possible, but the login screen was again black, so i could not login. When pressing a key, there was sound (like some posts before). Because the...

Used Darwin dumper to extract video bios, applied NVCAP maker on it. That gave: 0400000000000700000000000000000700000000 In clover wiki NVCAP was described and how to be added in config.plist / graphics section: <key>NVCAP</key> <string>0400000000000700000000000000000700000000</string> Tried...

I tried to do a cross-check with live ubuntu 14.04. Unfortunately, there is a long existing flaw with newer nvidia drivers ( nvidia, ubuntu-bug1, askubuntu) so it was not possible to test. Currently there is no windows on my 8560w, so that feature could not be tested on another OS.

I tried all of them: 8,1 8,2 8,3 All gave the same result: I could boot, but not to the yosemite login screen. that screen was just black. But when pressing some keys, there was sound, as observed some posts before. Looks like the gpu is not being initialized correctly. An idea could be the use...

I reinstalled Clover using PBI 6.2.17 with added 8560w model. For cleanup, the existing EFI folder has been renamed to EFI2. Then these configuration has been used: Clover UEFI OS X support kexts: Business model - 6x60b/8x60 AMD/nVidia Config and DSDT patcher: Business model - 8x60w nVidia Fan...

Uh, sorry, my misunderstanding. Brightness cannot be changed. No function keys, no slider within SysPrefs->Displays. Also no VGA. I was referring to your working .aml and the successful PBI.

Yes and yes: only your files, and it works! Last attachment has been your files only with the added one from PBI.

Done successfully with PBI 6.2.17, and here it is. Thanks for adding 8560w to PBI, I saw the commit from yesterday :thumbup: If you want, I'll reproduce the whole installing process from scratch. First renaming EFI to EFI2 and the running the full installation. Then all .aml should be fresh and...
