Adding 8560w to Install Guide and Clover

[ftenab]

Hi David2K,

I have full working EliteBook 8760w with Sierra. Only missing VGA port working to connect external monitor. Today I will try DP to VGA adaptor to see if working through DP port.
Im working with Cattail and any trial failed for the moment for connector patch...I will try your Idea Ipomoea. Also I will place here my dump rom.

I did some trials and succeed. Now full working connector VGA. Also full working DP connector. NO troubles with colours or resolution.

Adjust above patches in clover. Look images attached.
Probably to adjust your DP connector you will need to build your own code (changing mine 11020101), run radeon_bios_decode and redsock_bios_decoder to find yours . According your senseid your 3 DP build codes should finish in 01, 02, 03.
Test also the DP codes extracted from Cattail framebuffer, so originally my DP connector was fully working with cattail without patches.

Hope you still need this and you succeed.

Regards

Mountain Lion is in fact easy to install on Sandy Bridge (as for hackintosh) + VoodooBattery. Maverick may crash or not. If you want to install any newer mobo I think its needed to have latest bios and Haswell CPU. I have used yosemite 10.1 dmg and it don't complete installation. I need to use also boot flags -x -f GraphicsEnabler=No. If only there was way to get hibernation works on ML… I would pay for it $10.
Ok... I assume Sandy Bridge doesnt support hibernation.
