Well, anyway - where to begin with?
I am trying to finalize my Hackintosh properly - without success so far. Hence, I am writing this post to ask for your help...


:)


So: I have:
- MacOSX 10.8.4
- Sapphire ATI Radeon VAPOR-X HD 7970
- Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H


What is working:
With Chameleon I can use my Mac via the Gigabyte graphic card - but only on a "basic graphic mode" with ATI7000Controller.kext removed and GE=No.


With installed ATI7000Controller.kext and GE=No it is only working in -x mode.


With GE=Yes it shows quickly after start a Memory allocation error.


So: On my wish list:
A working MacOS with a full support of my HD 7970.


For any help I am thankful!


Cheers!
 
1. Get your hack working with onboard gpu first.
2. Make sure it sleeps correctly
3. install 7970 and use sleeptrick
 
OK. I tried your recommendation with the "most basic" system.

So far it worked. Thanks for help.

BUT:

It appears that the system "should" have been working previously, because my system is not working properly if I plug in my TV screen via HDMI.
FIRST:
Once this is plugged in during start up: I get 2 white screens - no "sleep-trick" is working (the fb-rotate does its job already). Then I disconnect the TV: and I get my computer screen working fine with my desktop.
SECOND:
Once the system is working (with desktop on my computer screen) and I plugin my TV screen then I get a white screen at my computer screen and I can see the desktop on the TV screen, however, no input is working on this screen. Once I disconnect the TV again, then all the input made previously (that should have appeared on the TV screen) is then to see on the computer screen.

Any suggestions?
 
Another great forum provided some insight:
If you use the rotate trick for more than one screen it's:

/Users/rene/Downloads/fb-rotate/fb-rotate -d 0 -r 90
/Users/rene/Downloads/fb-rotate/fb-rotate -d 0 -r 0
/Users/rene/Downloads/fb-rotate/fb-rotate -d 1 -r 90
/Users/rene/Downloads/fb-rotate/fb-rotate -d 1 -r 0

0 = first screen
1 = second screen enz....


BUT I am still not there...

Great thanks - I have something on the second screen.


However: not what I would have expected: the screen(s) are there - but still no input!


the 2nd fb-rotate and Chutoro doesn't help...


BTW: the second screen only shows up, once I have unplugged the HDMI for a moment from the GFX-card - then the input is freezing, until I unplug the HDMI again...


Still any other solutions available, please?
:eek:

Were you able to get one screen working? Before you have the script auto run upon logging in, make sure that the script works correctly and is rotating both screens.
 
Maverick has full support for my HD7970! It rocks! Actually - I even have two in my system - and it works like awesome!
:)


I can recommend OSx86 with HD7970 and Maverick!
