Toshiba SATELLITE C660-2CR - i5 2410M 2.30GHz Sandy Bridge, Intel HD 3000, graphics not working

Hello everyone!

I'm trying to run OSX 10.11.6 on a Toshiba SATELLITE C660-2CR Laptop 1366x768

I'm using Clover_v2.4k_r4061 legacy and El Capitan (AppStore)
What is working so far:
- Install & boot
- Keyboard and Touchpad (using RehabMan VoodooPS2Controller.kext)

Not (yet) working:
- Graphics (disabled NVIDIA GeForce 315M via DSDT/SSDT, trying to run Intel HD 3000)
- Ethernet (Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller - is there a solution? couldn't find the right kext)
- WiFi (Realtek RTL8188CE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC - probably not working, planning to use usb dongle/change wifi in future)
- Audio (High Definition Audio (probably NVIDIA?))

One main problem I encounter is with graphics:
I disabled the dedicated graphics (NVIDIA GeForce 315M) using DSDT / SSDT patches (using iasl61), because I read that only the HD 3000 is supported on this model (wich is part of Intel i5-2410M).
Unfortunately graphics is only recognized as "NVIDIA Chip Model 3 MB" , and wrong resolution
When I once deleted all NVDA-kexts from S/L/E, it was showing only as "Chip Model 3 MB"
I have no option in BIOS to set DVMT-Prealloc, maybe that's the problem?
I'm using RehabMan HD3000 1366x768 config.plist.

Boot flags: kext-dev-mode=1 rootless=0 dart=0 nv_disable=1 cpus=1 -v
(have to use cpus=1, otherwise kernel panics)

I also tried OS 10.9 and 10.12, basically resulting in the same issues

Maybe someone could have a look at my configuration?
Some hints what I could try to fix that?
What am I missing?


kind regards,

springi

Your ioreg shows no HD3000. Only Nvidia. You will need to do research to learn how to enable the Nvidia properly...

Hi, i have your same laptop, but the version 2lm. For the graphics i have installed this kext. But with this the PC work only with hdmi. If i boot without hdmi the screen is black... But with HDMI works! Now i must resolve this issue
EDIT: You must also set fakeID nVidia, the id is 0x0a7a

Your profile is not filled out as per FAQ (no laptop hardware details).
Please fix.
