[LaCapaGira]

Hi RehabMan,
since my aspire 5750G has two graphic chips (intel hd3000 with 380 MB and a NVIDIA GT 540M with 2GB of RAM) i would like to try to configure the NVIDIA that should be better. Looking for a kext i found Natit540M2GB.kext on OSX86.net. Do you know if this kext work?

Grazie

Antonio

@LaCapaGira : It seems that the .zip you posted is corrupted.

Can you please confirm me if it works?

Thanks!

I was able to upgrade to Sierra with nary a problem. Good luck! Everything runs fine. I had to tweak my DSDT a bit.

By the way how can I download the kext package Aspire 5755G.zip or Aspire 5750G.zip?
Thanks

Is there a way to enable my Intel HD 3000 external HDMI audio. The audio device is INTEL Cougar Point HDMI PCH.
Thanks

I solved the problem with:
open Utilties/Audio-MIDI setup, find the input and output channels, and set formats to 44.1 or 48 KHz, 16 bit.

Now Audio HDMI works as a charm with VoodooHDA!

Hi RehabMan

Now all work correctly!

Grazie!!!

I share Aspire 5750G.zip containing all files i used to install and configure macOS Sierra on my Acer Aspire 5750G.

Hey @LaCapaGira, could you reupload your files for macOS Sierra on 5750G?

Aloha !

This is an interesting guide. No supporting install package from the OP, just links to general help links, lol ! Is this the wave of the future ?

This Aspire 5750.zip from thread #240 looks to be damaged as it does not uncompress properly.

I have everything working on my Aspire 5755G (BIOS:1.21) except for my HDMI video.

I have tried binary patching AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB without success so far.

I'm just going with El Cap 10.11.6 right now.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance ...

Profile updated as per request ...

Trying all sorts of binary kext patching as well as "on the fly" clover patching of AppleIntelSNBGraphics.kext.

No HDMI or VGA video for me. I suspect that I am missing something very elementary and very specific to this laptop. The general info sections are not helping me a whole lot at this point. Can someone with good HDMI video on a 5755G please post a config.plist and a patched AppleIntelSNBGraphics.kext ? I guess that's what I need.

TIA
