with the current BIOS you get an option to select through which graphics card external ports(HDMI/mDP) are connected discreet or internal.

 

have tested with both modes. you can have the external display connected through intel hd530 also.

wow, please check your system by Aida64 and tell about your Internal Information (Monitor Name, Monitor ID, Manufacturer)

 

here 's example :

If you suspect a CMOS reset by the OS, there are 2 things you can try:

 

1) patch your DSDT RTC device from:

       Device (RTC)
       {
           Name (_HID, EisaId ("PNP0B00"))  // _HID: Hardware ID
           Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate ()  // _CRS: Current Resource Settings
           {
               IO (Decode16,
                   0x0070,             // Range Minimum
                   0x0070,             // Range Maximum
                   0x01,               // Alignment
                   0x02,               // Length          ---> Set to 2 by default
                   )
           })
       }

to:

       Device (RTC)
       {
           Name (_HID, EisaId ("PNP0B00"))  // _HID: Hardware ID
           Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate ()  // _CRS: Current Resource Settings
           {
               IO (Decode16,
                   0x0070,             // Range Minimum
                   0x0070,             // Range Maximum
                   0x01,               // Alignment
                   0x08,               // Length          ---> Changed to 8
                   )
           })
       }

2) Install the pre-patched AppleRTC kext

 

You may try either/or as well as both at the same time but it may not fix your issue.

 

Alternative to DSDT RTC direct patching:

please help

i have dell 7710 with amd w5170m graphics card (UHD display).

i've installed sierra with clover config from post #148.

after installation it boots - i see yellow background - and cursor. i can move cursor - but nothing happens.

switchable graphics are off (if i turn it on - os x crashes while loading)

 

i've able to boot in safe mode (with -x switch). but without -x switch it still stuck at yellow screen.

last lines in system.log:

 

xpc.launchd[1] (com.apple.DumpGPURestart): Service only ran for 1 seconds. Pushing respawn out by 9 seconds.
(many such messages in log)

 

update: i've solved this problem. i've disabled switchable graphics, so HD520 was inaccessible to macos. switchable graphics must be turned on (in BIOS). also DVMT preallocation fix is required.

With the latest updates of elcaptain my laptop M7510 freezes whenever there is power mode change. i.e. from AC to battery or vice versa. any Solutions?

[lamtran]

i have got that, try UNCHECK "Enable Legacy Option  ROMs" in Advanced Boot Options  / BIOS

 

it's work for me

Is it possible to run MacOs on ATI card? (for example, my 7710 have amd w5170m). I've tried to run it, but have got yellow screen stuck on boot (

 

UPDATE: i've installed verde.kext and disabled switchable graphics in bios, now mac os works with discrete ATI card without problems, UI is more responsive.
