[bms2993]

Ok friend,
your Bios is an AMI Aptio new version and bot standard so We can try to modify It only
using the Faòseclock Method !
I will write again . . .

Alright remember I already tried efi shell method and ran the command "setup_var 0x223 0x3" to set DVMT to 96 MB but I got an offset error.

Actually no it doesn't do that anymore! Huh. It actually picks up that the value of 0x229 is 0x1 meaning only 32M of DVMT. But when I run serup_var 0x229 0x3 it just freezes there when it says it is changing the value.

Can You upload here all Menu Tabs Screenshots to see your Bios like You do ?
I will wait so I can understand better !

Sure. Also included is what happens when I try to run the proper setup_var 0x229 0x3 command for setting DVTM prealloc. It freezes on IMG_0026 in the zip with pictures.

Oh, uh. Well like I said, I wanted to change the DVMT value so I can not pass assertion is OS X and it can boot. So if there's an option for it in advanced tab, enable it if you will

So I will try to make visible the 1st one and then after get a result will continue !

We have to start from here :

0x1FAEF  Form: Graphics Configuration, Form ID: 0x27C7 {01 86 C7 27 96 03}
0x1FAF5   Subtitle: Graphics Configuration {02 87 96 03 00 00 00}

I will prepare the Mod to show "Graphics Configuration" Sub-Tab form !

Regards

[BDMaster]

Ok use the Tool FPT I sent then flash from Windows so rename this Bios Mod
file as bios.bin and copy into the Folder Tool, copy the folder into HD C:\ Root Place
and open a Prompt Command with Admin Rights and execute this commands :

cd \

cd tool

fptw -f bios.bin -bios

(or fptw64 for x64 bit)

if You get a reply PASSED then reboot and let me know if new "Graphics Configuration"
is appared under Advanced Tab !
