Very mysterious. It appears to be able to detect posts to tonymacx86.com. I swear I'd run kextbeast at least 10 times, but mysteriously running it again and a reboot resulted in the '...' across the bluetooth icon and a working mouse. So this is fixed for now.

A while ago, I successfully installed El Capitan 10.11.5 using Clover, on a GA-Z170N-WIFI using internal Intel HD 530 graphics by HDMI using the guide from this site here. I use the Broadcom BCM94352Z DW1560 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WLAN + Bluetooth card, and all was fine for a while. It got upgraded to...

If you ran AGDPfix.App before from here, it would appear you need to rerun it after the upgrade. In my case second monitor hotplug would not work until this was done.

Rerunning AGDPfix.app from here fixed it.

I have a Z170N with HD530 integrated graphics that *was* working fine before I did the 10.11.5 to 10.11.6 OS-X upgrade. Now hotplugging the second monitor doesn't work. Any idea what I need to do / redo? This smells like the display policy thing. What information would be useful?

Nope. Currently I get it to work by removing one monitor whilst rebooting.

I'd be interested to know whether dual monitor from power-up works on the Nvidia board.

To echo what wildwillow has said, I have a system that works just fine provided that you power up with only a single monitor connected. The second monitor can be added after OS-X has booted. This is a bit of a pain, but less of a pain than no dual monitor support. On my system (Skylake...

Worked for me as a test.

I'm running F6 BIOS at the moment. I suppose an upgrade to F7 might be worth it if I can be bothered to find a USB stick etc. Well, from what you said above, there is clearly a state that the computer can be in (and I'm betting it's a state the Intel 530 can be in) where it's attached to two...

When I am feeling brave I may well try that. I wasn't sure whether it was the BIOS or Clover causing the issue, but based on that, it sounds like BIOS. BIOS seems to put the two displays into mirrored mode, as clover then appears on both of them (I can't believe the Clover folks explicitly...

OK, so that was a little scary. 15 minutes switched off seemed to sort it out. So I booted it up again, attached the second display (which worked again), and now attach an IOReg file. It wasn't the monitor misbehaving, it was the motherboard - plugging in the other monitor did the same thing. I...

Well, there was good news, then there was very bad news. The good news was that I disabled the DSDT renaming of GFX0 to GFX1, then ran the AGDP app, which did its stuff. I then rebooted, and hotplugged the second monitor, and it worked first time! Hurrah. The very bad news, is then I rebooted...

Worked for me, but it took a long while to detect the magic mouse first time. I suggest perseverance. Oh, and checking your aerials are connected.

On the compatibility front, the first page of this guide appears to be a little inaccurate. Newer IORegistryExplorer will load its own files, just those files cannot be loaded into older versions of IORegistryExplorer. More precisely, if you take 'current' IORegistryExplorer (meaning version...

Thanks once again for your help. So first things first - I tried to sort out the DVI port. I think the Replace string is a bit wrong on your example, as 000080000 is HDMI. I think it should be 00020000. I now have what appears to be the correct port set up, using this entry in config.plist...

Sorry, I got the wrong end of the stick there. Thanks for your help so far. Here is the information you asked for before the change, IE with all the kextpatches enabled. config.plist looked like this: and ioreg explorer's output is in ioregexplorer-before-changes.ioreg (attached). As a...

Thanks. I didn't add those entries to config.plist knowingly. What I did was follow (exactly) the instructions on the GA-H170N-WIFI guide. This has: so I'm guessing they came from there. I think the configuration you suggest is actually almost configuration I already had before I did what you...

OK, I added the 4 display patch. Here it is in situ. Note that there are three other HDMI patches (presumably put there by Clover, I certainly did not add them manually) to do with ports 5, 6 and 7 (which I don't have, just 2 x HDMI + DVI). I have not tried disabling these as I suspect they are...

I have not renamed GFX0 to IGPU in my DSDT (or at least not consciously!). I tried to do what you suggested by loading EFI/CLOVER/config.plist into XCode, and added a second entry in ACPI/DSDT/Patches as follows: Screen Shot 2016-06-08 At 20.42.26 by alalal posted Jun 8, 2016 at 8:46 PM First...
