For more information about and debugging Wundorn's script, see this very informative post.įor multiple monitor users: You may need to follow Prosaca's little edit to that workaround here, as you may need to rotate each screen connected to the Radeon HD 7xxx.Ĭlean Install 10.8.3 With Only a Radeon HD 7xxx Series Card: Note: Scroll down that page for a way to get it to run automatically on boot (thanks Wundorn!). If you don't have integrated graphics or a 2nd graphics card, and you cannot/don't want to sleep your hack, as stated try dwbr's screen rotating workaround.If you have another supported graphics card, just set that as the primary video device in the BIOS/UEFI, and put a monitor on it to see the boot screen.You won't see a boot screen with this workaround unless you have a monitor specifically attached to the integrated graphics, so don't think it's not working if nothing shows up until the login screen on your Radeon HD 7xxx. If you do have integrated graphics, you need to set it as the primary video device in your BIOS/UEFI and set it to "Always Enable" or "Enable," depending on your motherboard (if you have a Gigabyte board, though, you may need to set the integrated graphics as primary as well as "disabled" for some reason).If you can sleep your hack and aren't bothered by doing this at the login screen on every boot, do the sleep trick.List of White Screen Workarounds Known So Far: This white screen issue only goes away currently if you have a 2nd graphics card (or an integrated graphics option) you can use in addition to your Radeon HD 7xxx under OS X. If this happens, you generally need to sleep your hack and wake it up to fix it and proceed normally. There is a special issue where you might get a white screen instead of the login screen on your Radeon HD 7xxx Series card.

If you have a Radeon HD 7xxx Series card, please post your type of card (i.e. Since a lot of people have been asking, "Does work?" I figured we should get a list of successes (and failures) going for people to reference. This seems to be a successful combination for using AMD cards with no fuss.Īs many of us know, OS X 10.8.3 brought support for a wide variety of Radeon HD 7xxx Series cards, but there's no official list anywhere of which cards work. NOTE: If you're on 10.9.3, try using Chimera 3.0.1 and either GraphicsEnabler=No or GraphicsEnabler=Yes (only if GE=No doesn't work), and don't use any other setting that would affect the graphics card.
