Hi,

I'm trying to get sierra working on a hp 8570W elitebook with AMD firepro m4000 GPU. the videocard is recognized by the os but not loading properly, only 7 mb ram reported, and no acceleration. Verde.kext, editing radeonx4000.kext and whatevergreen don't seem to work. Does anyone have any ideas? The GPU is supposed to be supported OOB (id = 682D ). attached is my current EFI folder

the graphics card is in pci0 pegp1 dgfx0 SSDT-2.aml, I cannot for the life of me get it to work properly, patching is very complicated! the dsdt.aml you helped me with also doesnt load it properly. ioreg shows generic display (and buri framebuffer, amdsupport.kext. system profiler shows amd firepro m4000, and sometimes hd7700 series but only with 7mb ram
 
the defeault framebuffer loaded is buri I dont know what to make of the (Null) in the connector output of the bios...

Fiddled around with it some more and can confirm the firepro working in catalina. You need to install using an external monitor and the patch disabled, with wgreen and lilu drivers and the -lilubetaall radpg15 bootflags, ati inject and load video bios options. After install the patch works (or try to rebuild kextcache if it doesnt) for the lvds display with the Buri framebuffer.
 
Can u share ur efi folder working with Catalina? i have the same laptop with same specs but i cant install clover on the hdd, when install and boot from hdd clover stucks on "scan entries" when i boot from usb that not happens
