Folio 13-2000 Yosemite post installation trouble

[Feartech]

It looks like kext-dev-mode=1 worked and its now loading the unsigned kexts.

I have managed to get the sound working with an audio kext that works with my laptop so thats great.

Whats left is:

• Have to boot always with cpus=1
• I dont think I have the Intel HD 3000 graphics driver working as I have to omit InjectIntel (black screen if injected on boot) - I see the desktop etc fine and can see it says intel 3000 graphics, I do get some odd glitching occasionly too.

• Backlight dosent work but I need to make sure I have the Intel graphics 3000 working first.
• Battery status dosent work when i click to show it in the toolbar.
• Wi-Fi (im ordering an atheros wifi card)

I have kexts for battery and backlight but i dont think its as simple as adding a kext only?

Thanks again

you haven't installed all your kexts to your system (if that is the way you want to do this)

At the moment I’ve only installed audio and trackpad kexts is that’s what you mean?

I have the battery and backlight kexts but it seems quite complicated to get these working from some guides I looked at?

Also I don’t really know where to start with the intel 3000 graphics?

I added to clover configurator:

inject intel
Load vbios
And selected hd3000 0001000 MacBookPro 8.1 (if-platform-Id)

but same issue just blank screen half way through apple logo

I guess this means I dont have the intel drivers installed?

Thanks

Thanks Feartech I will post my output here this evening.

The good news is I’ve managed to sort the cpus=1 bootflag and now see all cores and threads.

bad news is I still have a resolution of 1024x768 showing 3mb of ram

Display should be 1366x768 (HD3000 mobile 512mb)

I’ll check those details though and update my signature.

Ok i have gone through the problem reporting, here is my output;

My config.plist may be a bit of a mess as i've tried lots of different fixes to get the graphics working correctly.

Dosent Work

Intel HD3000 is 1024x768 display (it should be 1366x768) and has 3mb vram, lots of graphics issues
My backlight controls do not work
Battery icon wont show properly
Have not even attempted wifi as i have a ar9280 card on its way
I have a time machine backup running

What Works

All cores showing and boots without cpus=1 flag
Voodoo Trackpad works but is not great (shall i use smart touchpad kext)
Audio works (voodoo)
Ethernet works
Bluetooth works

I really appreciate your input, i feel like its nearly finished and i have spent weeks trying to get it sorted.

Thanks

install lilu.kext and whatevergreen.kext

you probably only need:

add in your screen resolution here:

<key>ScreenResolution</key>
        <string>1920x1080</string>

Intel should not be enabled:

Macmini5,1 is wrong, you should use a laptop SMBIOS

depending on your laptop series, choose config.plist from the available ones:

GitHub - RehabMan/OS-X-Clover-Laptop-Config: Some Clover config.plist files for common Intel graphics configurations

Some Clover config.plist files for common Intel graphics configurations - RehabMan/OS-X-Clover-Laptop-Config

Great thanks Ill get on them now, as i mentioned this wasn't actually my config.plist until a day or so ago as I was frantically trying fixes, Intel kexts and lastly a config.plist that fixed another users similar system.

Ill report back.

I really appreciate the help.

Thanks

 

[Slashingbison]

No improvement im afraid...

Things that i tried:

1. Used Rehabmans config.plist for hd3000 1366x768 - This removed my clover dual boot and went into a boot loop once it tried to load OSX

2. I removed the specified kexts and had a kernel panic for nullcpupowermanagment - adding this back in made the OS boot again.

3. I have reloaded my original config.plist and changed what you suggested. - made no difference i still have 3mb and 1024x768 and system report says no kext loaded for graphics.


Intrestingly where i built the vanilla OS using unibeast the graphics shows as 'Intel HD3000 @ 1366 x 768' and i can see other resolutions but have no other specific featues.

I wasnt sure whether the graphics driver was installed as i couldn't see any other settings of intel settings to make me think it was.

somewhere along the way i installed the intel hd3000 kext which gave me the 3mb and the 1024x768 only resolution. I have removed the kexts but the 3mb issue and resolution remain.

So i wonder whether the graphics driver was installed on the vanilla install? i doubt it but the resolution was correct and 512mb vram.

I have re-attached my config.plist

Im stumped, i really dont want to start from scratch as it took me a long time to get clover working in legacy and booting with win 10 dual boot.

I've seen lots of other posts with this similar issue but none have seem to of fixed my problem.

Any ideas?

 

[Slashingbison]

Also just to add my smbios is empty but whether its macbookpro 8.1 or mac mini 5.1 it made no difference to booting or graphics issue.

 

[Slashingbison]

Ok so a quick update.

I basically reinstalled OSX10 and it kept my settings, due to the EFI partition which is great.

In doing so the resolution is fixed, and I can see the HD3000 shows as 512Mb

Im still unsure though whether the intel graphics driver is installed? how can i check ?

Also i am getting the odd graphical lines glitching.

The backlight dosen't work, but strangely if i press sleep, when it wakes back up the screen is much brighter!

Also the Battery symbol still wont show in the toolbar, besides those issues its almost there!

I've re-attached my config.plist and debug files if that helps.

Thanks
