Hello guys.
I have a Firepro V4900 that I use for CAD on my windows installation.
I've installed OS X 10.8.2 and was able to get my HD4000 to work with GraphicsEnabler=Yes. However, when installed my Firepro V4900 for my windows installation. It messed up my OS X boot. I had to use Graphics Enabler=NO to get it to boot correctly, but OS X does not recognize my HD4000 and I don't get full acceleration. GA-z77x-d3h is my motherboard


This is what I have for sistem configuration.

This is what I get for my V4900

I understand that when GraphicsEnabler=Yes the system is using Chimera's loaded graphics drivers. Whereas with GraphicsEnabler=No the system is using apple's graphics drivers.

Everything was working fine before I installed the V4900 Graphics card. Is there a way to prevent system from running this PCIe GPU? I'm lost. Is there some way I can get this setup to work without tossing out my Firepro v4900?

PLEASE HELP!
 
install Clover method MAC OS X and copy ATI config.plist file in tonymacx86 EFI-CLOVER replace file.
