Hey man, I fixed the problem through some tweaking of my clover config plist. Turns out I was missing some necessary boot flags. I got the web drivers installed and everything works perfectly now!

Yes I do! Need help brother? I upgraded my Alien's graphics card to a GTX 1060 about a month ago and installed MacOS Sierra so I could use my GTX 1060 with MacOS. Unfortunately now I can't use the legacy option ROM as a workaround for the screen brightness since enabling this option makes the...

Hey everyone, this is my first post in a very long while. My Alien has served me very well as a gaming beast and a hackintosh. However, a problem arose when I upgraded the GTX 860m MXM module in my M17X R5 to a GTX 1060 MXM module. Now when I go into the graphics configuration in the clover...

Thank you very much for your help over the last few days RehabMan. You've been a big help. I actually found a different method to fix the backlight issue (kind of). I read on another forum something about using a legacy boot ROM with clover, and it sparked my memory on my experience with...

Okay so I applied the PLNF patch on my DSDT. However, it did absolutely nothing, and I still can't adjust my screen brightness in either integrated only or dedicated only graphics modes. I installed the patched DSDT in the patched folder within the ACPI folder within clover. Did I apply the...

Alright guys, this is the moment I think all gaming laptop users have been waiting for. I have successfully forced the dedicated GFX to become the primary laptop display through the use of a modded web driver package I modified myself, which forced the web drivers to load in place of the default...

I do have another question though. I played around with my BIOS settings and found an option for discrete only graphics, which disabled integrated. However, I was not able to boot into OSX even after modifying my config.plist to erase everything pertaining to integrated GFX and inject NVidia...

Ah okay, I guess I must have misunderstood something. Thank you very much for the link!

Here is the file as you requested using that version of IORegistryExplorer. I have also included a copy of my config.plist for clover. Here are some screenshots of my system information as well: The only problem I'm running into now is trying to get the GTX 860M to be my primary display so...

Update: Hey all, I found a solution on my own for the graphics card issue. While it is not possible to use optimus in OSX, it is possible to force both the integrated and dedicated graphics cards to work at the same time. I found a guide telling me to use the Hackintosh Vietnam tool which can be...

Update: Turns out I do need help getting the Nvidia graphics to fully work with Mavericks as well in addition to this backlight control issue. For some reason, even though I'm injecting the device into clover, if I remove the nv_disable=1 boot flag, the system just restarts after everything is...

So as the title suggests, I need a little advice on how to get full backlight on my Hackintosh laptop on Mavericks 10.9.5. I have searched far and wide across google searching for a solution that will allow me full control of my laptop's backlight, but my efforts have so far yielded no results...

Okay, I reinstalled mac osx using the osx install guide for a dell d630. I updated to SL 10.6.8 and it freezes 1-5 minutes after I log in. How do I keep this from happening? Also, sleep, and audio do not work.The system does not shut down all the way either.

You mean update to lion?

Does the app store give you an error or does the application just not start?

Okay, so I've installed Mac osx on my dell d630 with nvidia quadro graphics. It would work fine until I installed the 10.6.8 combo update. Now it still works, but takes a long time to load (stays at the sky blue screen for 30 seconds) and randomly freezes within minutes of logging in. Basic...
