![]() Update 2: My Inspiron worked great, but took FOREVER to boot because it was “Waiting for DSMOS”. Update 3: For anyone looking for it: 10.6.2-IONDRVSupport.kext ![]() I tried Lord of the Rings: Return of the King and Starcraft II, and both caused the screen to go blank and kernel panic.Īnyway, nice experiment, and at least it works for regular desktop work….įor anyone interested, here are all the Radeon HD6000 series cards supported by the 10.6.8 kexts, IDs and names. Second, it seems to crash when launching any game. So I ran the update, then popped in the HD6450, and what do you know, it works! Only two problems: First, no EFI support which means no boot screen (white/grey apple). Just my luck that today the 10.6.8 update was released, containing – you guessed it – HD6xxx drivers! This one works great, runs Starcraft II on High and doesn’t crash the machine!Īfter some discussion with a coworker, I decided to try putting a Sapphire Radeon HD6450 into my Mac Pro, since the 8800GT was a real power hog and heater. Update: Just went and exchanged the HD 6450 for an HD 6670. Re-patched DSDT in MacIASL with the following fixes only from “RehabMan-Laptop”:Įxtra.Fixed backlight control (using this guide).Added SSDT-PNLF.aml in ACPI/patched as per guide.Updated VoodooHDA.kext/Contents/ist to include Mute Fix.10.12.4 Backlight Brightness control fixĭownload updated EFI folder (zip 19MB): EFI 10.12.4 Main reference for this was RehabMan’s Elitebook guide.

My local computer store is selling them for under $400, which is a pretty good value in my opinion. (Crazy! Time flies.) This means that they can be had relatively cheap in the off-lease market today, as the typical computer lease is between 3-5 years. Also, it was released back in late 2012, which is just over 4 years ago as of this writing. It was pretty popular with businesses who wanted to give their employees a more affordable and more IT-friendly “MacBook-like” device. The EliteBook 9470m was, if I recall correctly, HP’s second Ultrabook, and their first true “Enterprise” Ultrabook – that is, one with docking capability and easy field repairability . ![]()
