Administrators Hervé Posted March 5, 2019 Administrators Share Posted March 5, 2019 No, as stated before, Mojave only supports Kepler GPUs and this GF117 Fermi GPU, like several others, turned out to have poor/no support under High Sierra. If you want all those video outputs to work, you'll have to revert to an older OS X/macOS version like El Capitan/Sierra. That's the end of the line for that nVidia dGPU.

MrJonesIII Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 Hi, Now having a strange problem where a perfectly working system somehow ends up trying to sleep, and then refuses to boot again, with the boot-up progress bar getting to about 80% and then stopping. I've forced power off and restarted in verbose mode and took a photo of the bit where it gets stuck. Any suggestions on how I can fix this without having to wipe it all and start again? Thanks, MJJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJonesIII Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 Hey Jake, Thanks so much! That's exactly what was wrong with it. How did the BIOS settings change? Was it the act of me accidentally putting it to sleep that caused it? MJJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted March 6, 2019 Administrators Share Posted March 6, 2019 Just in case, enable the Apple RTC patch in Clover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJonesIII Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 How do I do that? Do I open the config.plist file in Clover Configuration tool and check a checkbox somewhere and save it then restart ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted March 6, 2019 Moderators Share Posted March 6, 2019 RTC patch should already be enabled , but yes, it's under Kernel and Kext Patches. For me I was on BIOS A13, that version seems to be able to keep the settings. I have not test this for years, so don't quote me on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJonesIII Posted March 9, 2019 Author Share Posted March 9, 2019 Hi again all. Decided to try and experiment with Sierra instead of Mojave. I really need those external nVidia attached ports to work on this thing. Any advice? I found this - https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/327824-dell-latitude-e6430-full-solution/ but Slice's zip file of a working EFI for both Intel and nVidia has been removed after he changed over to High Sierra and Intel HD only so I'm trying to find something that's going to allow me to run the majority of older Mac OS software versions on a stable platform with external displays using the E6530 laptop they've given me. Thanks again! MJJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
