some info here:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.164990/

regarding hardware etc and also a section called "problem reporting" if you could upload the files here, we can take a look and see if we can see something that is a little wrong

vga is not really supported on Sierrra, although some peeps have managed to get it working

also if you have used unibeast to create your usb installer, it may be best to check out
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/

as this is more for laptops, as laptops require a little more work to get them working

you may find a config.plist for your intel graphics, you will need to update your hardware profile to say what intel graphics you have

as optimus is not supported, you may only be able to use your intel graphics only. ie, i have a hd530 intel graphics and there is a config.plist for that video card on the link above

Hello,

Thank you for the quick response. I didn't thought the VGA would work but i tried it just to make sure. it isn't a problem if it doesn't work, as long as my laptop screen will work and then i can take it from there.

Some people posted they have the ati card working but i don't know how they managed to do this.
The intel graphics is from the first generation (2010), i had to remove the AppleIntelHDGraphicsFB.kext for the installation, but when i did it worked fine.
Wich files do you need? Only the config.plist or do you need more files?


Many Thanks!

Hello, i followed the guides you gave me but i don't know whats wrong...
I managed to get into the desktop and mac os detects the intel hd graphics card. Mac os detect's the screen size and resolution properly. I installed drivers from http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/download/208-1st-gen-intel-hd-graphics-kexts/.
they didn't help me cause i still have this weird screen. I also tried changing smbios macbookpro6,1 to 8,1 , but this also makes no differences.
does anybody have an idea what i need to do? altered drivers or something?

Many thanks for your help!

After a wile i restarted with my project.
I tried some kext installing from the links you send me but they didn't work for my problem... also i tried connecting my externel monitor (hdmi). But the screen keeps black.
Does somebody have an idea why my install screen is perfect, But when i restart the computer my screen gets al weird?
I checked with about this mac on the laptop, and my intel hd graphics card is showing. And when i look at displays tab it say 17inch 1600x900. So it is the correct resolution. The only thing is the screen is scrambled, as you can see in my previous photo.

I hope someone has an idea.
