How to add GPU into DSDT to get rid of graphics enabler=yes

 

At this point on my oldest mac build I am almost done. In my plist I only have kernel cache, quiet boot, and graphics enabler=yes.

 

I was wondering if you could add the framebuffer some how so that graphics enabler=yes is not needed. Thanks.

Sure it's possible, I don't have a code example for a 4850 but you can probably adapt the code from my 6870 to some extent, or at least use it as an example...

 

Device (PEG0)
           {
               Name (_ADR, 0x00030000)
               Device (GFX0)
               {
                   Name (_ADR, Zero)
                   Name (_SUN, One)
                   Name (_PRW, Package (0x02)
                   {
                       0x09, 
                       0x05
                   })
                   Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
                   {
                       Store (Package (0x0E)
                           {

Great. I have a MSI R6870 Hawk Radeon now and a ATI 5770. I need to update my specs.

[Beta1382643440]

Ok, where in the DSDT do I put it. Where I put it it did not load the frame buffer. Showed up as 6xxx.

[Conti]

You put it under PCI0>PEG0>GFX0....

 

That is the code I use on my MSI 6870 Hawk btw... Good card.
