Quadro card with Ryzentosh

[trs96]

Wouldn't it be more accurate if Yugo had named their car company Yunogo ?

Q: What do you call the passengers in a Yugo ?
A: Shock absorbers.

Jason Vuic even wrote a book about the history. https://librarypoint.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S72C538455

Small update if anybody cares - I plugged my famous K4200 into this new fresh installation, and it works (with my original EFI, no tricks for Quadro) ! Metal is working and even 100Hz monitor freq.

Either my old installation was borked already before I started messing with Quadro card OR I blame my monitor ! You know, today's monitors are smart, they boot, not just power on. When I was swapping GPU's today, it switched back to my laptop input and went crazy then (switching to random reso and refused to back to my default/preferred one). Cold power off from wall helped. This has happened once before I remembered suddenly.

So, most likely the black screen with cursor with K4200 (see original post) was caused by monitor bad resolution negotation. So instead of doing one cold-boot cycle for monitor, I went to 2 weeks/10-page internet thread, pissed of people, pissed off myself, botched my fully configured installation, bought new GPU and motherboard (arrives today, so I can test the original installation once again)...

Hobby ! Yugo !

The joys of Hackintoshing.

Anyone who says it's easy needs to see a head-doctor!

And last - no change even with new motherboard. It boots fine to Recovery and to Installer, but not main system. Stops around same spot. Conclusion - installation is corrupted somehow. Partitions are visible/mountable/readable, even programs start from Data, but not enough to boot.

I installed now the previous non-working installation over - it boots and all my settings seems intact !

Only complaint, some icons are corrupted - folder icons are covered by one certain application icon. Removing that app does not help. Also tricks from this page not:

Mac Displaying Wrong, Generic Document Icons For Files & Folders, Fix • macReports

It is very easy to create a custom icon for any file or folder on your Mac. Changing the appearance of different file or folder icons will help you easily

And K4200 still won't work with repaired installation, not even with new motherboard.

Still black screen with cursor (and monitor power-off does not help indeed).

Works with fresh install, so something is still wrong with this install (besides icons).
