With the release of WhateverGreen 1.2.1 and Lilu 1.2.6 I have experienced a strange behave on one of my setups:

 

After updating the two drivers my Monitor a MSI 2560x1440 27" screen capable of 144Hz (only able to select up to 60Hz) Curved display was NO LONGER recognised as a 2560 pixels monitor and in the System Preferences under Monitor I could only select up to 1920x1080.

 

Reverting back to the previous version of both WhateverGreen 1.2.0 and Lilu 1.2.5 corrected the problem and the monitor is now seen as a 2560 screen.

 

Is there a reason for this?

Thanks

I'm learning how this work, I need a little help to understand.

 

I'm on a i3-8100 Gigabyte B360

high Sierra 10.13.6 17G65

 

- I ditched all the kext injections patches as suggested all good

BUT

- I still need AAPL,ig-platform-id TO BE SET to 00001259 and device-id 12590000

to have hardware acceleration

and within this I still need 3 infamous KextToPatch entries to modify the framebuffer and make work this type of motherboard.

 

Anyone any comment?

Thanks

From WhateverGreen v1.2.1 release notes:

  • Disabled HDMI 2.0 by default, use -cdfon boot-arg or enable-hdmi20 IGPU/GFX0 property to enable

But that board has HDMI 1.4b. 2560x1440 @60Hz is still within HDMI 1.4.

If you used to use CoreDisplayFixup you will need to use -cdfon boot-arg or enable-hdmi20 IGPU/GFX0 property as mentioned by ben9923. This was previously enabled by default which may explain why earlier versions worked for you.

For the CoreDisplayFixup integration, is -cdfon enough to enable the patches or do I also need to add "enable-hdmi20" property too ?

In the case of adding "enable-hdmi20" property, I don't need "framebuffer-patch-enable" or anything, do I ?

Try this configuration file.

 

config.plist.zip

Thanks for this. But no matter what, my machine locks at IOScreenLockState if i use deviceID 59160000 "16590000". The only ID that will boot is 59120000 but it boots with QE/CI to my external monitor via HDMI port. Blank screen on my internal.

Have you tried booting without your external screen attached?

Yes sir. Since i seem to only to be able to get 59120000 working with QE/CI. Even though its external only, ive been messing with the Ports and Connector types in FBPatcher. So far ive still been unsuccessful. Atleast i know QE/CI works and the the UHD620 works, and without and DVMT related patches. But still i can only get a black screen on my internal monitor.

Hi folks,

 

Is it possible to test if I am making the best / correct use of WhateverGreen (And Lilu of course)?

 

I haven't updated things in a while and when I went to update Shiki it wasn't there so hence the move.

 

Using a USB stick I have replaced the old files with freshly compiled kexts (WhateverGreen, Lilu & AppleALC) also deleting Shiki.

 

I deleted the entire "Scope (\_SB.PCI0.IGPU)" section from my SSDT-1.aml and also removed the -shikifps argument from my Config.plist.

 

Audio is working ok so I assume AppleALC.kext is ok.

 

I am using the hardware in my signature below (Old, yes, but still works great).

 

The test for Shiki used to be if iTunes could playback trailers ok which is working fine so does that mean WhateverGreen is at least doing something?

 

 

Rebooting using the USB stick everything seems ok but I have yet to add anything more to my Config.plist so I am doubtful it is correctly configured?

 

 

Kexts seem to be loading ok:

I also removed IntelGraphicsFixup.kext which leaves this extra Kexts (In the FakeSMC.kext plugin folder):

This is basically my Config.plist (All the important bits shown I think):

Been trying to figure things out and my Config.plist now looks like this but as bluemaP1E says above, do I need any more (I am going to create a small partition on here later to try and install Mojave on)?

EDIT: I have to just say Mojave installed first time with no issues at all using the above settings.

Hi,

This guide is a awesome post and I got almost everything I need from this. Thank you for your  dedicated work :)

I followed the instructions in this post and got 2048MB VRAM of UHD630 (i7-8750H Coffe Lake). And the code I used as follow, 

framebuffer-patch-enable Data <01000000>
framebuffer-stolenmem Data <00003001>
framebuffer-fbmem Data <0009000>
framebuffer-unfiedmem Data <00000080>
AAPL,ig-platform-id Data <0900a53e>
framebuffer-con1-enable Data <01000000>
framebuffer-con1-type Data <00080000>
framebuffer-pipecount Data <02000000>
framebuffer-portcount Data <02000000>
framebuffer-con2-enable Data <01000000>
framebuffer-con2-index Data <ffffffff>

Now, the problem is my HDMI port has no video signal. So I got my internal monitor work, but without my external one working.  How can I fix it? Please give me any pieces of advice.  Thank you :)
