- ```
cd ~/Desktop/
ioreg -l | grep IODisplayEDID | cat > EDID.txt
```
- Linux running on your x201:
- ```
xrandr --verbose | grep -A8 EDID | grep -v EDID > EDID.txt
```
- Remove every line break, spaces, <, >, |, .... ending up with a single line of hexadecimal code.
- Save the result

Complete Yosemite Post Installation

Note I: If reboot fails, press space at Clover boot screen and select "boot without caches".
Note II: I needed a workaround at this step to reach the post installation. So if above steps do not work for you too, then boot into Single User Mode:

mount -uw /
cd /System/Library/Extensions
rm -rf AppleIntelHDGraphics.kext
rm -rf AppleIntelHDGraphicsFB.kext
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Caches/*
shutdown -r now

At Clover boot screen select "Boot OS X from 'your HD'

Yes tutorial from calabash work for me ...........

my laptop specs is thinkpad x201 intel i5 520m and resolution is 1280x800 .It is important to dont install and Patched AppleIntelHDGraphicsFB ....NOT WORK FOR 1280x800 download this AppleIntelHDGraphicsFB and replace with original not delete any other original AppleIntelHDGraphics kext after this Repair and Rebuild and you have full graphics QE/CI. This tuto is only for resolution is 1280x800.....!!!!!

Many Many thanks to calabash for the help offered me and the many hours spent for me.

AppleIntelHDGraphicsFB.kext.zip

calabash · March 19, 2015

With your method you have an unsigned kext installed.

kext-dev-mode allowing invalid signature -67030 0xFFFFFFFFFFFEFA2A for kext AppleIntelHDGraphicsFB.kext

You have to know which LW (Link Width) you are using, otherwise no chance for clover to patch this. For more information read #1 and #1141.

There are no patched kext in the QECI folder; it includes the original FB. You can download unsigned, patched kext here.

Leon · March 19, 2015

anyone who can test this on a x201s with 1440x900 ?

fareius · March 23, 2015

I think I'm going to try this during the Easter on my x201 .
And what about temperature on Yosemite? Is it high or normal like 35-50 degrees?

And also is it worth to install Yosemite or stick to the Mavericks in your opinnion, guys.

rosnoun · March 26, 2015

Nice work!

The method to have QE/CI working is surprising. I had succeeded to have it work with the patched Frame Buffer, but I had to modify the _DSM method of the VID device in DSDT and the SMbios in config.plist had to be set using MacBookPro6,2 (6,1 shall work also)

Calabash, I have the Qualcomm Gobi 2000 but I had to remove it to plug the Wifi Dell half mini PCI-e. Anyway, I haven't found any way to make it work under OS-X. Have you ordered a different type of WWAN card? For my bluetooth I will check tonight but I'm starting to think that I don't have the Bluetooth module installed in the laptop... Anyway, I'd like to have a Bluetooth 4.0 capability, do you know which bluetooth module may work?

For the USB after sleep, I managed to have it worked by using the AppleACPIPlatform rolled back from mountain lion, but using it make the serial number disappear in the "about" pane. Since I had enabled iMessage and I don't want to touch anything that may change hardware signature, I have removed it... If someone could give it a try, it should be fine...

Calabash, could you post your config.plist please?

rosnoun · March 26, 2015

i suggest to start from scratch.

Which LW do you use with your working FB?

Today i have read an interesting post. "Force kext to load" http://clover-wiki.zetam.org/Configuration/KernelAndKextPatches#ForceKextsToLoad

The last two post could be helpful. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/286092-guide-1st-generation-intel-hd-graphics-qeci/page-60?do=findComment&comment=2123353

Create an clover usb installer and try with this methode with differents LW without the clover patch. When you have find the right one then add patch to clover.

I use the Single Link Normal LW1 LVDS+VGA

The thing you are referring to is not related to my problem I think but it allows me to understand why I had troubles to set up a working USB installer

I've done some experimentation and I now have the original unmodified FB with on the fly clover patch (I think). To be able to do so, I've added _DSM method to IGPU device in your DSDT (and DTPG method that you can add by patching from Rehabman repo). With your DSDT, I can't boot. With adding _DSM, it works... I had noticed the same behavior with the other method of modified FB... I have to have a EDID injected properly to make graphics work...

During my experimentation to try to have wake working the method has grown up with propoerties that may not be necessary. Anyway this works as is. Here is my _DSM:

               Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)

Hi Cooper1..

Thanks

Hi Calabash...

Can you explain the ACPI in the Clover Configurator...
When you said OLD/NEW... do you mean for the Fixes to deselect or select all checkboxes
or leave them as default from the Clover install on the USB?

Thanks...
