Oh, wow. I never realised people were still commenting here. I've literally just logged into my account after some time and I wasn't getting email notifications. :( - time to check my account settings. So, I just want to be clear on a couple of things about this thread: 1): This guide is only...

I can’t see this working on a 6550b because the CPU is one generation behind. This is for the 6460b/6560b only since they are pretty much the same laptop that are using the Sandy Bridge architecture. Also, I’ve learnt more since this post. Technically, you can share DSDT’s and most of the time...

I actually tried that a few days ago and no go. It switches to the Web Driver but no acceleration. I'll try again soon.

I'm able to boot but now my Web Drivers are broken. Rip.

Patch?

I have tons of artifacting with Sierra and High Sierra with the Quadro 1000M. This is why this post exists. What did you do to get it to work properly?

The Quadro is useless on Sierra and above. It works perfectly with El Capitan. This is also what the post was about.

I managed to find it. Just install Clover as normal, then drag the CLOVER folder to /EFI/EFI replacing the old CLOVER folder.

Unfortunately, I don't own this laptop anymore. However, if I can find the whole EFI pack (I know I have it somewhere), I'll reupload it for you.

Indeed. Though, the images are from El Capitan. The issue still persists on High Sierra. Also another small update, VRAM has been corrected in About This Mac and now have a patched DSDT with working battery and audio. Sleep is also working perfectly fine. The ThinkVantage button has been...

Small update: I've installed macOS El Capitan 10.11.6 and the graphics seems to be fully working properly. The About This Mac says it's a 1GB card but I believe that's only cosmetic. Looking through the OpenGL Extension Viewer app, it does detect that it's 2GB. I'm also using the exact same...

Alright. I will get to fixing those. If by chance, do you know which kext it is the 1000M uses? It's also possibly only cosmetic, but when I have a look at the VRAM size in About This Mac>System Report>Graphics, it shows 1GB when the GPU is actually 2GB. This was why I initially thought it...

It wasn't easy. The script failed a few times (not too sure why) but it got there eventually. Unfortunately, I tried a few remote software but it resulted in a black screen with the cursor. But I finally got it with graphics acceleration. Zip attached below. Also, it's a new install and...

Will do. Also, just as a note. I did once have it booting using the MBP 18,3 but even then it has the same issues. It also stopped working so I reinstalled using iMac 14,2 for the time being until I can hopefully get graphics working properly. Even in the video, graphics acceleration is...

The problem is I can't do anything with graphics acceleration enabled because I can't see what I'm doing. It artifacts so much that it's impossible to use. I had to use nv_disable=1 just so I could use it. I will change my profile information in a moment, the laptop specifications on my profile...

Hello, and thanks for replying. It skipped my mind to do that. I've used the script that automatically dumps all info for me. Attached zip below.

Hello. I own a Lenovo ThinkPad W520, however, I can’t figure out what’s going on with the GPU. I’m suspecting it’s a framebuffer issue but I don’t know what kext it uses nor how to change framebuffer values. As you can see in the video, there’s definitely graphics acceleration, it’s just...

Hello, anmool. I followed this guide: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-patching-dsdt-ssdt-for-laptop-backlight-control.152659/ However, you're better off following this guide as it's for 10.12.4 and later...

Hello, zukapr. I'm glad you managed to get your hackintosh up and running and I'm glad I was able to help! Also, since your laptop is close to mine, you should be able to use Sierra 10.12.6 and since Yosemite seems to be working fine with my EFI config, it should also should work on Sierra...

Are you sure that's the case? I offered some person once to help him install macOS Sierra to his laptop (which is the same as mine) and I used this exact EFI folder. His 6560b is functioning just as well as my one. I can confirm this as I've looked at the laptop remotely and everything does...
