Administrators Hervé Posted January 3, 2016 Administrators Share Posted January 3, 2016 You said you were using Chameleon... Which version exactly. For El Capitan, you should use the Enoch branch because mainstream Chameleon still does not support 10.11 as far as I know. Enoch r2795 works perfectly on all my Hacks.

Moderators Jake Lo Posted January 4, 2016 Moderators Share Posted January 4, 2016 That's a distro and we don't know what kexts were modded, removed or added, it's hard to determine the issue. Which version of El Capitan is this? Perhaps you could replace the vanilla AppleIntelFramebufferCapri.kext family. Can you verify if the following exist in /System/Library/Extensions: AppleIntelFramebufferCapri.kext AppleIntelHD4000Graphics.kext AppleIntelHD4000GraphicsGLDriver.bundle AppleIntelHD4000GraphicsMTLDriver.bundle AppleIntelHD4000GraphicsVADriver.bundle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
embergeorge Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 The version is 10.11.2 Yeap. All of the above exist on my S/L/E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted January 4, 2016 Moderators Share Posted January 4, 2016 Run in the terminal to determine if the kexts are loaded: kextstat | grep AppleIntel* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
embergeorge Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 Worked for a moment! I don't know how! I wrote on org.chameleon.Boot.plist <key>IntelCapriFB</key> <string>4<s/tring> Tried to boot with -x just to see if any difference. I got black screen because of the typo I poweroff using the power button I start with -x -v -f IntelCapriFB=5 I edit again the file to fix the mistake Shutdown - Power on and just worked! I shutdown and I rebooted again and now I get an image like my screen is smashed!!! One second to take screen to post the results of the command!

embergeorge Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 I booted to system using -x -v -fI completely removed Capri stringsNow rebooting I get black screen.I start booting using IntelCapriFB=1,2,3,4On IntelCapriFB=6 & 7 I get kernel panicOn all the others I get black screenOn IntelCapriFB=4 seems to have something like smashed screen and some other times just works as it should be!!!!!!!!I really cannot understand what's happening! This moment it just works! I booted using IntelCapriFB=4 on boot and I have none Capri string on my boot.plist file. If I reboot probably will stop working again! Here we are: Also another question I have is why now? Two days now, I try every possible combination of CapriFB and this setting, I tried it at least 20 times? Why now? Like somethings is wake up suddenly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted January 4, 2016 Administrators Share Posted January 4, 2016 You should not use the -x flag; that calls on the safe mode which normally prevents graphics kexts to load. You'll never obtain graphics acceleration/support in safe mode. If you manage to boot your system on occasion, why don't you create a proper vanilla USB installer instead of using that distro which clearly appears to cause issues (as they often do)?
