[Guide] Enabling ATI Radeon HD 5450

[jacexpo]

After spending significant time trying different options -

On my 'el capitan' system with an ATI 5450 1GB card with vga/dhmi and dvi connections, in order to get two screens (one to HDMI and one to DVI) to function at the same time I had to use Cedar video driver and not the Eulemur video driver. Enabling or disabling "fixdisplay" or "vbios" made no difference. I had used the fakeID 68e01002 with both FBnames, but with cedar both screens functioned.

With the emular driver only one screen would function at a time.

Hello, I know this thread is ancient history by now but if anyone cares to help me I've attached the files. I could not find a patch for my MB; Dh57dd am2. It is a Visiontek 5450 I got for 20 bucks, and I found the computer in the trash. So I figured why not make it a hackintosh.

I have no issue using kexts and not updating, as it will just be an office internet/pritiner mostly. And I only have legal access to my 10.11 installer anyway.
It's relatively fresh install, I've no problem starting over if need be.

thank you

Hi, guys!
I did a clean install of OS X Mavericks.
Followed your screenshots exactly, but when I looked up at my About This Mac window, its said
ATI Radeon HD 5450 Series 5 MB
Even though its a 1024 mb Graphics card. Can you help me out?
config attached

So much information here that it's easy to get lost in it.

I have the Radeon HD 6350, which apparently follows the guide of the ATI Radeon 5450. Here's what I did:;

1. Sierra Installer on USB flash drive.
2. Boot flash drive, select options, inject ATI, main menu, press space bar, select safe mode and verbose - used safe and verbose for entire installation period until I got to Multibeast.
3. Install and configure multibeast for your particular setup.
4. Download and run 'Clover Configurator' - Google it.
5. Left hand side menu - 'Mount EFI' - 'Mount Partition'
6. 'File' menu - 'Open' - 'EFI-EFI-Clover-config.plist'
7. Left hand side menu - 'ACPI' - 'Fixes' - √ 'Fix Display'
8. Left hand side menu - 'Devices' - 'Fake ID' - 'ATI' - "68E01002"
9. Left hand side menu - 'Graphics' - √ 'Inject EDID' - 'VendorID' : 0x1002 - 'ProductID' : 0x68E0 - √ 'Inject ATI'
10. Save and close Clover Configurator
11. Locate 'AMD5000Controller.kext' and 'AMDRadeonX3000.kext' in /Volumes/YOURDRIVE/System/Library/Extensions/
12. Right click - Show Package Contents - Contents - Open 'info.plist'
13. Verify that 'AMD5000Controller.kext' contains:
<key>IOPCIMatch</key> <string>0x68981002 0x68f91002 0x68991002 0x68E01002 0x68E11002 0x68D81002 0x68C01002 0x68C11002 0x68D91002 0x68B81002 0x68B01002 0x68B11002 0x68A01002 0x68A11002 </string>
14. Verify that 'AMDRadeonX3000.kext' contains:
<string>AMDCedarGraphicsAccelerator</string> <key>IODVDBundleName</key> <string>AMDRadeonVADriver</string> <key>IOKitDebug</key> <integer>0</integer> <key>IOMatchCategory</key> <string>IOAccelerator</string> <key>IOPCIMatch</key> <string>0x68f91002 0x68E01002</string>
15. Save everything, reboot, and bask in the lukewarm glow of nine year old technology.

@RickSanchez I'm very new to hackintosh, I just installed hackintosh on my very old pc which has this 5450 graphics on it, I followed your guide, but still not getting the correct output from the driver. I'm currently on Catalina 10.15 .
Should I downgrade to Sierra?
Are all amd kexts files the same for different versions of OS? Since I had to download AMD kexts files separately which was for the Yosemite version.

Can you please provide AMD kexts?
