I have just installed a hackintosh setup using UniBeast. I'm running Mountain Lion with the following setup

i7 3770
Gigabyte Z77-3DSH
Sapphire ATI Radeon 6450

I installed everything flawlessly and booted using the pendrive. Runned MultiBeast selecting EasyBeast, System Utilities and the drivers for sound and network. Booting after MultiBeast ended up in a blank screen.

If I boot with GraphicsEnabler=No I can work perfectly, but the Video Card is detected as AMD Radeon HD 6xxx and there is no hardware acceleration (can't open DVD player).

If I boot using AtiConfig Pithecia, only the VGA output works.

What should I do to have the Sapphire 6450 correctly working?

Thanks
 
Hi there, I'm using a setup with two GPUs, one of which is a 6450 and it works fine with GraphicsEnabler=No in Mavericks. Before that I was using the personality Motmot. You should be able to get it working fine, mine's been behaving itself since 10.6!

EDIT: Just noticed you're using mountain lion, my old org.chameleon.Boot.plist was -
