Macintoshy Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 my laptop lcd works no problems. Hi, what kind of boot loader do you use? Which GFX card do you use? Internal HD4600 or AMD 8970m ? I was trying to make ATI Personalities make work for the AMD 8970m, but i failed extracting the rom file. http://rampagedev.wordpress.com/kext-editing/editing-atiamd-framebuffer-personality/ Does anybody know how to extract the AMD 8970m rom file? - GPU-Z doesn't show up a version string on Windows 8.1. - A simple dos boot with atiflash.exe will not find any GFX card. Kind regards Macintoshy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokenguyen Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Does this laptop have both Intel HD4600 and AMD in Windows? If you have both and no option to switch off AMD Switchable Graphics, only HD4600 is usuable on OS X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't a boot pack for it if you have read this entire post, it's still in research/development. For starters, you can list your specs and we could go from there. CPU? Don't just list I7 or I5, list the exact cpu as there's lot of different I7 or I5 Display resolution? Does it have Optimus? Nvidia with Intel or just Intel HD 4600?

Mirone Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Intel wifi will need to be replaced. What device/vendor is the audio? Check in the BIOS... Update: Looks like Dell has move away from IDT and now uses Realteck. From the specs I check, this uses ALC3226 in BIOS but shows ALC292 when dump from linux. Please try this patched file by Mirone AppleHDA.kext.zip and add this to your DSDT Device (HDEF) { Name (_ADR, 0x001B0000) OperationRegion (HDAR, PCI_Config, 0x4C, 0x10) Field (HDAR, WordAcc, NoLock, Preserve) { DCKA, 1, Offset (0x01), DCKM, 1, , 6, DCKS, 1, Offset (0x08), Offset (0x09), PMEE, 1, , 6, PMES, 1 } Method (_PRW, 0, NotSerialized) { Return (GPRW (0x6D, 0x04)) } Method (_DSM, 4, Serialized) { Store (Package (0x08) { "codec-id", Buffer (0x04) { 0x92, 0x02, 0xEC, 0x10 }, "layout-id", Buffer (0x04) { 0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 }, "device-type", Buffer (0x0F) { "Realtek ALC292" }, "PinConfigurations", Buffer (One) { 0x00 } }, Local0) DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0)) Return (Local0) } } I'm not the kind of person you want to see your name written all sides, but please give the credits.
