Hi guys, i bought shappire 5450 (looking the same as on first page of this guide) but is 512MB. Since couple day's i cannot make this card working. I'm on Lenovo M58 (C2D 8500,4GB), I installed sierra 12.4 without any issues (sound,lan,+wifi working great)
So i was trying any possible way to get acceleration and resolution choice ( no results, even by modify kexts) GPU is recognised as Ati 5450 with 5Mb memory. So I decided to start all over. I did clean installation (Sierra+unibeast) and post instalation (multibeast for sierra) . I choose clover (legancy) fakesmc, Ethernet intel ,audio voodoo + inject ati . All looking good and working good apart graphics. System boots from hdd so I followed this guide, I run clover configurator (mount efi,set frambuffer eulemur and fake id 68E01002, inject ati ) and nothing. I trying 0x68E01002. no results. I try without "inject ati" , Fix display, EDID all no results (auto SMbios 14.1). I'm also not 100℅ sure if this device ID is correct, there is no info on this card. When I checked what kexts are loaded (ATI extensions) all AtI kexts they all for "NO", they all pure Apple kexts , no mods .
Slowly I'm run-out od ideas, i got only basic knowledge about hacintosh. And I don't use DSDT.
Also I found subject about M58 (el capitan) with all packages so I downloaded and add only DSDT for lenovo M58 included dsdt injection for GPU: ATI Radeon HD 5450 1024MB ( dsdt injection, thx to "Jake Lo" ) no luck. After that I replace my whole efi folder for EFI frome this package- and still nothing.
I just waste planty of my time and have no clu what next, i wonder about two thinks.
1. Why kexts they no loaded?
2. Did i have right device ID?
I decide to put card to different PC with Windows, and BOOM device id is 0x68F91002 so very happy to discover issue. After couples houers still nothing, just give up again.
I don't know how make this card working
. Sorry for my bad English- hope U understand what is above. Maybe someone will help me with this 5450. I attached some files for closer look (config.plist, acpi origin, modded DSDT, ioreg, + screenshot) I can attach whole EFI if needed
many thx, sorry for such a long post but I'm frustrated.
