Problem with GraphicsEnabler=No in org.chameleon.Boot.plist FusionDrive

[strasserfj]

Hello,

As the headline tells you, i've got a problem inserting the GraphicsEnabler=No into my Boot.plist.

The trouble is that i bought a new graphicscard (GTX 650) which is working very well when i type "GraphicsEnabler=no" at the boot menu on startup. At first i thought i have to add
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>no</string>
to my org.chameleon.Boot.plist, but it seems as if the bootloader ignores this entry. (Maybe it ignores the whole org.chameleon.Boot.plist file from my Extras folder)

Maybe the FuseDrive causes this problem. I used this guide for the setup.

my Chimera version was 1.11.1

I did not find a similar question in the forum so please help me searching for the bug.

Thank you

(If you need more infos or i forgot something please feel free to ask)

Since you are using a fusion drive it is no longer using anything in the 'Extra' folder on your boot drive, it is using the one copied to the boot partition during the fusion drive config process. .

You will need to mount these partitions and edit the extra folders there.

Same as needed for booting from RAID. Goes through the mounting process to give access to the boot partition.

Can't post link to the xxxxymac article, but google search this: [How-to] Software RAID-0 in Mountain Lion on ICHx/JMicron/Marvell/ASMedia

Aaaah ... Thank you!! I forgot that OSX creates a helper patrititon when setting up a FusionDrive!

I mounted these partitions and changed the Boot.plist in this partitions.

For all who want to know how:

#### Be aware the number of the disks may vary!

After mounting "Boot OS X" partition you can open the volume from your desktop. But be aware, the files in there are owned by the user "wheel" so you maybe have to open it from the terminal using "sudo nano org....Boot.plist" to edit it.

I've done this with both of my partitions, the SSD and the HDD.

Thanks again to rgabrielson
