I have heard that the only way to switch to the IGPU with OSX is with the help of "Apple_set_os".A small alteration is to be found within the case concerning the wireless internet connection. however I was wondering If I could pass a boot flag like the following to invoke such action: I have heard that the only way to switch to the IGPU with OSX is with the help of "Apple_set_os".

If I'm not mistaken this is what we need:Ģ The provided DSDT switches to the Integrated GPUģ The ATI Radeon GPU is THEN switched OFFĪny ideas on how to accomplish this? Should I give another try with your GFX video patches Rehabman? So I guess we are making a bit of process here!ġ First the computer boots and loads Clover.Ģ The Radeon GPU is switched OFF: Screen switches off, and goes black, however the computer keeps working. The computer continues booting correctly. As soon as the Macbook Boots the GFX card it's switched off, however I'm left with a black screen.

I actually got the code you kindly suggested working on my machine. I followed your guide and got a completely working DSDT for my Macbook Pro. MY my clean DSDT/SSDT from Linux can be downloaded form here: įirst of all I wanted to thank you Rehabman for all the work you put into helping people around.
I have gathered my DSDT/SSDT files from linux but I honestly don't know where to start to disable the radeon chip: Can you guys give me a hand with this? A thousand or persons would be super grateful for this. (I used to have the very same problem in my Hackintosh a long time ago which got solved by switching to a different GFX card output) In this post you can see that someone actually made it to desktop, however with a black screen. I even found someone trying a script in the EFI shell form Refit with similar problematic stuff from Mackintosh install: After looking to a lot of tutorials to disable the graphic chip and the DSDT patches by Rehabman to re-enable the backlighting function it reminded me the same problems I was having when I disabled the Radeon Kexts. It actually worked to a certain extent, backlight was disabled, the intel graphic chip behaved incorrectly, the color management was disabled as well. When the GFX card chip was completely dead the only option to use this computer again was to trash all the AMD & ATI kexts to make the Macbook boot.
Darwin is included at first and everything is pretty different from all the tutorials I read about disabling the Radefon GFX. I have a fully working (AFAIK) DSDT/SSDT which is supplied by apple. I googled it and found a tutorial ( ) the problem is that the method is completely different. I was thinking that perhaps I could use Clover to boot with a modified DSDT/SSDT to disable the graphic card. I have a fully working Hackintosh at home, so I have some experience hacking things up to a certain extent. The problem is that i actually use this computer to make music with Ableton Live and Linux support for FW audio interfaces is pretty limited.

I modified GRUB to disable the Radeon graphic gard and it worked great! Very stable with full backlight support. So I moved to Linux: Tried Ubuntu & Elementary OS. Sometimes I can replicate this problem with GFXCardStatus, switching is very unstable and very problematic. perhaps because the radeon card is damaged? I don't know. My theory: GPU switching is responsible for this. Sometimes the kernel task process will jump from 1-10% to 600% CPU usage rendering the computer completely unusable. The third one actually –somewhat– worked but with some problems: They tried to repair it 2 times without success. I gave up on this laptop a long time ago but then Apple offered to fix the logic board for free. I am one of the thousand of souls who got a defective radeongate® enabled laptop.
