Dear community of tonymacx86.com I come for your help! I installed OS X Yosemite on my Sony Vaio laptop VPCS111FM, everything is working fine, except for graphics, I dont have native resolution. This machine is a first gen Intel HD Graphics with device id 0046 and vendor id 8086. It has LVDS display, I have tried looking everywhere to get working the native resolution with no luck.

I have seen reports of people getting their Arrandale to work, so I tried this with no luck:

I tried the Giofridas Patcher and no luck either. I was told to use Clover instead of Chameleon and I have trouble setting Clover because its not user friendly. (And I am good with computers)

I have asked for help on different forums and no one is willing to give me a hand, its so frustrating, so I come here as my last resort, so I ask you, I beg for your help, I wanna enjoy this like the rest of you, please, help?

You have the right guide there. Make sure you follow along carefully.
 
I triedmultiple times believe me and no luck, I tried deleting the kext, rebuilding cache, adding the QECI kexts and the patched FB, Giofrida's Patcher, nothing I swear no luck :(

It is not about luck. There could have been some other issue...

RehabMan, thank you for replying!


Ok, so, what do you suggest me then? I was told to use Clover instead of Chameleon, but I tried to install it, but man it is not so user friendly, I just could not, can you explain me how to install Clover and see if I get it to work with it? I have a Legacy Bios.

You can work on Clover later... Save for after you have some experience.
