Hi limiter

 

I've added

<key>Disabled</key>
<integer>1</integer>

in AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB.kext's plist to disable AppleIntelMEIDriver

I added the Disabled key and it still doesn't load the Capri kext.

Here is a screenshot with the error : http://d.pr/i/XNEe

Excuse me limiter, I misunderstood, you not have to add the disabler key.

If you don't want to add a dsdt injection you can use a EFi injection.

Be careful! If you use a EFi injection, chameleon injections like graphicsenabler, ethernet built-in will not work. You can use gfxutil to create a complete EFi injection. At the end of my guide you can read more. http://www.insanelym...howtopic=276238

 

p.s. you could also make a ssdt only for the hd4000 without using a patched dsdt in extra folder.

[p.H]

Yes, i can post my DSDT, but i didn't changed nothing on the dsdt.... it was all about this simple string generated with gfxutil.app ( thank´s to Oldnapalm ) and to artur_pt for his help also .... proteinshake for his tip.... respect to all of you...... Asus A55VD Extra Folder with the string on org.chamelon.Boot.plist http://www.sendspace.com/file/0thtu0

hi mod

would u mind explaining how to get this efi string in more detailed ways ?

[McDan]

Ive been unable to get this to work, I've tried the EFI string method, editing DSDTs, With DSDT, Without DSDT. Just cant get it to work. Using a Z77X-UD5H and i7 3770K. One thing I did notice is that the HD4000 graphics in my 3770 reports device id 01620009, which is not in the list of ids linked to previously. I think the i5s have 01620005, and none of the mobile ids (0166xxxxx) worked for me either.

 

I'd love to get this working, at the moment I dont have a GFX card (I will be getting one anyway to match this nice processor) but I was thinking more along the lines for my next build, which I was going to try to do with integrated graphics in a much smaller case (Using a modded G5 case at present for the full ATX UD5H board.

 

Any help or insight as usual is much appreciated. I'll happily paypal some $/£/€ (enough for a couple beers) to anyone can help me out!

My HD4000 also reports 01620009 but I'm using 01620005 and it works on a MSI Z77A-G43 (only EFI string, no DSDT). You could try setting GraphicsEnabler to yes or no and check if that makes a difference. I had to set my VRAM for HD4000 in BIOS to either 32MB or 64MB otherwise I got stripes and graphics errors or it was very unstable. What exactly is working and what not? Which SMBIOS are you using? Are you able to boot into OSX?

[chad3000]

I don't need a dsdt.aml for my setup but I don't have any idea what I would have to do or how I would have to edit my org.chameleon.Boot.plist and/or my smbios.plist to get my HD Graphics 4000 working? Eventually I'll

be buying a nice compatible graphics card to go along with my setup but for now it would be nice to solve this problem with the HD Graphics 4000.

 

 

My setup:

Mountain Lion 10.8

Asus P8Z77-V LK

Intel Core i5-3570k HD Graphics 4000

8GB G.Skill DDR3-1333 PC3-10666

hi mod

would u mind explaining how to get this efi string in more detailed ways ?

 

You have to use gfxutil (google for it) to get device path, command is either:

 

./gfxutil -f display

or maybe

./gfxutil -f GFX0 (if you also have dedicated graphics installed)

or maybe

./gfxutil -f IGPU (if you also have dedicated graphics installed)

 

Copy this device path or save it somewhere then you need a .plist with injections (here is mine: https://rapidshare.c...xutil.plist.zip). Paste in your device path and set AAPL,ig-platform-id.

 

Then gfxutil again to get string

./gfxutil -i xml -o hex ./gfxutil.plist ./string.hex

[McDan]

Hi,

 

I'll try setting the VRAM limit in the BIOS now and report back. I'm using a Macmini5,1 smbios and I've already tried with and without GraphicsEnabler set. The only thing not really working is QE/Ci -Acceleration basically. I can boot etc just fine.

 

I have seen messed up stripes when I add the EFI string, but I can tell also that the resolution is correct for my monitor (1920x1200x32) so something is happening with the EFI strings. When I remove the string in single user mode I can boot back into OSX no problems. Using "Graphics Mode = 1920x1200x32" in the meantime to get full resolution

 

Other than this everything else is great. This board seems the business and doesnt even need a DSDT, I only started using one when I started messing with getting the HD4000 working. Before that I was able to install 10.8 with just FakeSMC added. Nothing else required to boot. Audio, Network etc are easy to get going too.

 

I'll change the BIOS VRAM now and try some strings again, see what happens!

 

Thanks

 

EDIT - Well some progress - changed VRAM and The "About this Mac" window now reports "Intel HD graphics 4000 384MB" whereas before it always reported 64MB so a step in the right direction. Still no QE/CI though

 

2nd EDIT - STOP THE PRESS!! - It works!!! Translucent menu bar - full accelleration for videos etc (CPU usage used to jump way up now sits at near zero while playing a movie/flash HD etc)

 

I double checked using kextstat and there is the HD4000 kext loaded.

 

I set graphicsenabler=no and generated my own EFI string as above. It looked the same as others here but when applied and rebooted BOOM! it works!!

 

Excellent stuff. Now, who gets the beers??

 

Many Many Many thanks.

That's great, glad it works now! You don't have to spend money.

[McDan]

Yes, Excellent.

 

i just added in another 4GB of ram now and it reports "Intel HD Graphics 4000 512MB" - as expected with over 4GB of system ram. so it all seems to be supported at this stage. Tried a few games, HD movies etc and all is well.

 

So then I set the RAM to 1600MHZ and the CPU to 4GHZ in the BIOS and its great, really really snappy. I added plenty of fans to my G5 modded case and all the temps are fine according to HW Monitor. I'll need further testing obviously but it seems spot on.

 

Thanks again everyone.

Could you do me a favor and check if you are getting more than 2 pstates? Are you using p- and cstate generation in Chameleon? Also does AGPM load on your system with MacMini5,1 SMBIOS?

[McDan]

Yes I am getting much more than 2 p states. And yes I am using p and c state generation in chamelon.

 

As far as i can see AGPM doesnt load. AppleIntelFrameBufferCapri and AppleIntelHD4000Graphics do obviously now that its working!

[dta]

Finally fixed my pstates issue and AGPM is now also loading correctly!

This one drove me crazy unitl I figured it out... my SMBios.plist was somewhat corrupted or there have been missing some entries (I used one generated with Champlist). I created a new one with Chameleon Wizard which contains much more information and now everything works again. SpeedStepping, TurboBoost, AGPM loading up!

thx for your help and explanation

i have far more questions to ask if you don't mind

1. The very pc i am working on doesn't have HD4000.

If I want to get the right efi string, should I type those commands in terminal in Hacks which has HD4000 ?

2. Would u mind re-upload your plist file to another site? I can't manage to download it

3. If I do have a discrete video card, shouldn't HD4000 be invalid ?

Congrats!

it seems to be the first time that I've seen both integrated and discrete cards both work!

1. Yes, you have to type them exactly on the machine with HD4000 you are going to use

2. http://www.sendspace.com/file/pp1cjz

3. No, both should be recognized (but you would have to enable integrated graphics in BIOS, not PEG)

thanks again for your replies

btw, sendspace seems much nicer for me : )

 

if I get the right efi string , where should I put the string in the plist file you provide ?

replace PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0) with the efi string ?

[McDan]

You dont put the EFI string in that plist file.

 

You use that plist file provided to generate the EFI String, then you place the EFI sting in your org.chamelon.Boot.plist file (in the "Extra" Folder).

 

At least thats what how I understood it/did it. Generated EFI string using gfxutil and a plist file like the one dta provided, then put EFI string in chamelon boot plist.

 

The instructions on the previous page about using gfxutil were exactly what I needed. just follow them through.

so all I need to do is change the AAPL platform in the plist file to the one that fits me?

then use the gfxutil to generate efi string with that modified plist file ?

[wollvieh]

yes, exactly

[p.H]

yes, exactly

thx cannot wait to have a try

[dta]

Is someone with working HD4000 able to wake up from sleep? My system wakes up but monitor stays black, darkwake=0 does not help ... the monitor does not get a signal from HD4000.

 

While testing I also noticed some stability issues when overclocking ... anything higher than normal clock (even if I crank up VCore like crazy) will result in a crash as soon as I entered my password and desktop is loading. I think it is a graphics problem because I am getting this repeated times before crash:

 

 

WindowServer[77]: CGXGetConnectionProperty: Invalid connection 42499

 

But might be my mainboard not being able to handle overclocks well. Without overclock everything runs fine, weird thing is that I can overclock my GPU without that crash happening, but not my CPU.

[McDan]

Yeah, I have the same wake from sleep issue. But no problems with overclock - I didnt push it, but 4.0 - 4.1 Ghz was no problems, left it running overnight and all is well.
