trying to get to mac pro 6.1. The file is not there

Problem 4: Monitor goes to sleep when using iMac15,1 or MacPro 6,1 system definition

Fix: modify the AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.kext


  1. Using Finder locate this file /System/Library/Extensions/AppleGraphicsControl.kext
  2. Right click and "Show Package Contents"
  3. Now browse to /Contents/PlugIns/AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.kext/Contents/
  4. Open Info.plist using TextEdit
  5. Scroll down to where you see <key>ConfigMap</key>
  6. For the iMac15,1 locate the board-id "Mac-42FD25EABCABB274" and change string below it from "Config2" to "none". For the MacPro6,1 you will do the same thing but for the board-id "Mac-F60DEB81FF30ACF6".
  7. Save the file.
  8. Rebuild the kernel cache using the following two commands in terminal:
 
It does exist, it's just that it is hidden.

Follow these instruction:

For you that can't see the plist file in the kext, it's because the file is hidden. Open terminal and copy and paste the following and hit Enter:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -boolean true ; killall Finder

Now all hidden files of the system should be visible and the plist file should also be visible.
 
Yikes now i just get a black screen!!! I must have messed it up. I didnt change it to 6.1 and left it at 5.1 before i rebooted. Could that be the problem?

PLEASE HELP!!!
 
Why did you want to change your sys definition to mp 6.1?
 
when i rebuild with terminal i get this error?

AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.kext has no Info.plist file.
