[VMWare] ATI PAssthrough for OSX

Hey everyone,

It was suggested I post here due to the incredible work you guys have done.

So I have a small problem getting my MacOS Sierra VM recognizing my ATI card. Passthrough is set up, and the card is detected by the system:


Type: GPU Bus: PCIe PCIe Lane Width: x32 Vendor: ATI (0x1002) Device ID: 0x679a Revision ID: 0x0000

However when I plug a monitor into the card, there's no signal. I tried to reboot the VM between each port, to no avail.

So next I checked if the kernel module were loaded, which they are, but aren't being used:

$ kextstat |grep AMD

73 0 0xffffff7f82526000 0x156000 0x156000 com.apple.kext.AMDSupport (1.5.1) 86E4A4D6-A270-3BF3-AE81-A27F35EEC4D9 <72 71 12 11 7 5 4 3 1>

96 0 0xffffff7f82f97000 0x877000 0x877000 com.apple.AMDRadeonX4000 (1.5.1) 808E569B-9BD9-38DE-B0B3-8CBFA8D45030 <95 92 71 12 7 5 4 3 1>

Specs:

Card: Sapphire 7950

Mobo: S1200V3RPS

CPU: E3-1231v3

RAM: 32GB DDR3 ECC

I'm wondering if I'm missing something obvious? Do I need special firmware for the video card? How does one get a working 7950 in hackintosh, does it work out of the box?

Thanks!
