tombot Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 You have flickering problems with the notebook? I got everything working, except the graphics stable. (VGA, HDMI, SLEEP, CARD not tested, wifi not working indeed for so far..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takahashi Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 I apologize for the extremely late response. I have flickering problems, especially when opening Dashboard. After installing a new application from the Store, I have even more of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted November 5, 2014 Administrators Share Posted November 5, 2014 Mavericks has no support for the AMD 8xxx/9xxxx, this was introduced in Yosemite. As such, you'll never get graphics acceleration with current version of Mavericks (10.9.5) unless Apple brings out a new update that supports those. But don't bet on it now that Yosemite is out...

Takahashi Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 I will test Yosemite sometime again... The first time with Yosemite on my G505s didn't go well. From what I remember, the system was practically unusable because of the constant freezing and flickering resulting from almost everything I did.
