GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 with HD3000 in clover installation?

[bizounett]

OK tested,

My Video works !!! But it detected as HD2000 512 Mb ! Also My usb 3.0 don't work. On your side it's work 100% ? Also I think the driver put i EFI/Clover/Kexts/10.10 seems don't apply... is it possible ?

Thanks

The detection of HD2000 512MB is cosmetic. You can add the proper description by re-patching the DSDT and add "model", Buffer () { "Intel HD Graphics 3000" },

Do your USB 3.0 port work at all ? Mine do, but I don't have USB 3.0 devices plugged in, only USB 2.0 devices (my Wifi is a USB adapter). Check that you have the correct USB kext installed in kexts/10.10. On my build I have Zenith432's GenericUSBXHCI.kext version 1.2.7 from Mavericks-Yosemite. It's also installed in /S/L/E - not sure where it *should* be. Did you install with kextbeast and use kext utility to rebulid caches, exclude list etc. ?

It's work !!! Thanks, now I try to imagine how can use the DVI and VGA port in the same time ? My main monitor is connected in DVI, I want to have a second monitor connected in the VGA port ? Is it possible ?

Thanks

Biz,

HD3000 can do up to two displays. (HD4000 can do 3). On the Z68 boards, the VGA is hard-wired to the DVI port I believe, to give you an analog version of the DVI output. This won't help you much ... I think you need to use a combination of HDMI+DVI or HDMI+VGA. To validate that DVI==VGA, a quick and easy thing to do would be to purchase a DVI->VGA adapter dongle like this http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-DVI-Cable-Adapter-DVIVGAMF/dp/B000067SOH

Otherwise, you will need to patch AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB.kext. As far as I understand it, OSX does not natively support VGA, so you need to define the connections/ports for the framebuffer to drive the correct outputs.

I am summarizing what I have read on other posts, so this might not work and I certainly have not tested it.

In AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB.kext, you need to patch the AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB binary using a hex-editor like HexFiend, or use Clover's kext patching feature to search and replace values.

The default framebuffer table in the kext is:

0102 0400 1007 0000 1007 0000 // No of Connectors (04)
0503 0000 0200 0000 3000 0000 // connector 0503, Laptop VDS (0200) - built-in display
0205 0000 0004 0000 0700 0000 // connector 0205, DVI (0004),
0304 0000 0004 0000 0900 0000 // connector 0304, DVI (0004),
0406 0000 0004 0000 0900 0000 // connector 0406, DVI (0004)

You could replace that with a VGA definition or change one of the others to be an HDMI definition, e.g:
0102 0400 1007 0000 1007 0000 // No of Connectors (04)
0602 0000 0200 0000 3000 0000 // connector 0602, VGA
0205 0000 0004 0000 0700 0000 // connector 0205, DVI (0004),
0304 0000 0008 0000 0900 0000 // connector 0304, HDMI (0008),
0406 0000 0004 0000 0900 0000 // connector 0406, DVI (0004)

I am not sure that the above edits are complete, or even correct - you will have to do more research and testing. There's something else to do with the 5th word-values (3000,0700,0900,0900) that may need edits - read the 2nd link posted below. Once you have patched the kext, you need to use kextutility to install, reboot etc.

let me know how it goes, hope this helps!

Thanks joeyeye,

I will have a look to your post, but I don't understand why I need a dongle ? I already have 1 DVI and 1 VGA on board. It supposed to work without dongle ?

Thanks

You don't need a dongle. The suggestion was to prove that the DVI and VGA ports are hardwired, that's all. I believe you will only be successful with 2 displays with:
1. HDMI + DVI
2. HDMI + VGA

DVI+VGA will only mirror the DVI on the VGA output as they are hardwired on this mobo.

I tried the method JoeyEye describes, but I cannot get the installer to come up.

I am using a GeForce 9800 card and booting verbose I get all the way up to DMOS arrives, before the machine reboots without any further messages (see screenshot).

Any ideas?

I should add that I tried the basic config.plist with NVIDIA from http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-desktop-guides/144426-how-install-os-x-yosemite-using-clover.html

This is my setup:

Motherboard GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 UEFI Bios
Processor Sandy Bridge 2500K
GeForce 9800
Memory 8Gb
Onboard audio ALC889
Onboard Network RTL8111
Belkin Bluetooth Adapter

This usually happens when FakeSMC.kext is not installed.

Can you post the following info:
1. EFI/CLOVER/config.plist
2. Contents of EFI/CLOVER/kexts/10.10
3. Contents of EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched
4. EFI/CLOVER/misc/debug.log

Thanks for the response, Joeyeye, but I actually got everything working.

I had all the rights kexts, dsdt and config.plist.
What wasn't working was the HDMI output on my graphics card.

I was able to boot into the Win7 and Ubuntu live installers without a hitch (how I got my dsdt), so I didn't figure that was the problem. As soon as I plugged in a DVI cable I was able to install and boot into 10.10 without any trouble.

Does HDMI not play well will MacOS?

Thanks ,
Pato

The default frame buffer output table does not include outputs for HDMI, so in effect it appears HDMI does not play well. That's what the various patches to the frame buffer enable - HDMI outputs.

Glad you are up and going!
