I have install Yosemite on an Acer Aspire 5740.

My Hardware hardware:
Model: Acer Aspire 5740
CPU: Intel Core i3 330M
RAM: 6 Gb (DDR3-1066 DDR3 SDRAM)
GPU: Intel HD (1st Generation)
Audio: Realtek
Wifi: Atheros AR5B93
Ethernet: Broadcom NetLink BCM57780

Every thing works except sleep and Battery indicator.

I followed the TonyMacx86 guide on Yosemite install by Usb. Used Multibeast to install Audio VoodooHDAv0.2.56 - sound output set to internal speakers. Installed (1st Gen) Intel HD Graphics Kexts 10.10.

The Atheros Wifi and Broadcom Ethernet were found by the Yosemite installer.

Not sure about ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 kext for the graphics. My laptop has the Intel HD GPU which recently received a kext.

The discrete graphics capability in a switched dual-GPU configuration is not supported with OS X on hacks. Best you can do is disable the discrete part with SSDT/DSDT patches.
 
It looks like the GPU ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 is unsupported by Yosemite. Maybe you can use the Intel HD Graphics built into the Intel Core i3 330M?

Found this in Guide to 1st Generation Intel HD Graphics QE/CI http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/286092-guide-1st-generation-intel-hd-graphics-qeci/

"But wait, what if your computer has a dedicated graphics GPU such as NVIDIA or ATI? Here are the choices you can do if you have either of these:
ATI:
1) Disable your ATI GPU from BIOS and enable the Intel® HD Graphics IGPU."


If changing to Intel HD Graphics is an option in the Bios it might be possible to install Yosemite OSX on your laptop.
 
Got the same laptop like the threadstarter.
CPU: Intel Core i3 330M
RAM: 4096 MB (DDR3-1066 DDR3 SDRAM)
GPU: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 (512 MB)
Audio: Realtek ALC272
Wifi: BCM43225
Lan: Broadcom NetLink BCM57780

I will install yosemite on it, but I dont found working kexts,config.plist and dsdt...
Should I install it with clover or unibeast?

If you have only the Radeon, prepare to do your research on how to make it work with OS X....

For other stuff, lots of info in the FAQ.

Worked perfect with Yosemite.
El Capitan 10.11.6 works perfect but can I update to Sierra ?

Hello, excuse my English. I have the same computer and am still novice in hackintosh, although I have skills. I could indicate the process to install yosemite or maverick?

Regards.
