What did I miss? Trying to make it working for a week or two but with no success. Pls help.

 

 

Read a manual: https://github.com/acidanthera/WhateverGreen/blob/master/Manual/FAQ.IntelHD.en.md

 

 

UHD620 0x5917 not native, use 0x5916

Delete # in device-id and set 16590000

I read this manual every day for last 2 weeks lol )))

Man, thank you so much! I could swear this is the first thing I tried, got no 4k and no transparency with it, and began to try other options then. There's even my first config with these 2 options only left! And it was not working!

It's probably you influenced so, I bet it afraid of you! Now I returned to this config and everything works just fine! Except sleep - screen is still black on wake, will try to find why.

Thank you once more, I cannot explain how it could happen )))

Нет, серьезно, как такое может быть???? Пипец. Спасибо огромное!

Have it working now thanks to the two simple settings you suggested, but still have black screen on wake. Could you point me what to read about that? So far I found some guidelines, tried to follow but with no success:

According to the ioreg and weg log, there are: unknown connector 0, hdmi connector 1 and dp connector 2. There's also connector 3, dunno what is it:

But after wake, screen is black. Everything is working, I can connect remotely but cannot turn display on although I see it in the ioreg, it is exactly the same as after clean boot:

 

Cannot find any further info to read about that. Please help.

Hello.

 

Thanks for all the great work you've done.

 

The first go at using this on an hd4000 laptop it cancelled the built in. Further investigation told to use RM's config section under

devices/properties. This fixed the original problem however, the first time the HDMI display worked with HDMI audio and this now does 

not have it.

 

Maybe you know what I'm missing?

 

Thanks again 

 

EDIT : I see what happened the configs injection for port 1 where the HDMI cable plugged in

had a pound sign in front that canceled it. The ioreg was showing DP on that port!

 

Thanks again for all the help and good work.

OK I have a weird one which is killing me. 

Machine is an Asus Chromebox (desktop) i7 8550U, UHD620 16GB

Latest Clover, Latest WEG and Lilu

Firstly Hackintool does not show me intel Generation in Catalina, which I thought was weird (2.8.7 shows the same).

NOTE: The new working Mojave patch shows me Coffeelake shown below. 

Mojave works 100% with Acceleration + HDMI Audio with the patch below. 

In Catalina the system hangs on boot at "render compression for IO surface is enabled" if I load with my working Mojave config.plist. 

Native ID should : 0x59178086 however coffeelake appears to work the best after some trial and error, however loads as Iris Plus Graphics 

 

 

Mojave Working patch below:

Please note that according to Intel documentation for i9-9900K for Intel UHD Graphics 630 device id is 0x3E98.

[Babiloe]

I have msi notebook i7-9750h with uhd630  3e9b 0009

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_3E9B&SUBSYS_127E1462&REV_02

 

I use method 1 with Enable Clover DSDT fix AddPNLF. Enable SetIntelBacklight and SetIntelMaxBacklight

Works well with backlight keyboard fn left and fn right.

however the max backlight is not very light. how to adjust it to more max backlight.

Do i have to change id to 0x3EA50009 (A53E on clover device id?)

 

is boot-arg -wegnoegpu changing -nvdisable=1?

 

where i can download gfxutil? what is for?

i saw acceleration check app in several post. what is it? where i can download it

Intel HD Graphics 5500/6000 Mojave.[Solved]

To enable hd graphics download hackintools and patch display by selecting your card type and model ,generate patches and from menu export as bootloader config.plist file.Then open clover configurator and navigate to devices /properties and add the patch from downloaded config.plist.After go to kext installer and download lilu, weg etc kexts in efi/clover/kext/other folder.Graphics -> insert ig-platform-id and inject intel and change smbios. Restart pc and graphics will work fine.

Hi all. My DVMT is locked in bios at 32Mb (Thinkpad X250 bios). I’m currently using the same settings for patching as in the example (32MB BIOS, 19MB stolen (framebuffer) 9MB fbmem (cursor)), it’s working but I have a few glitches when HiDPI is enabled. Now, I’ve read a few threads on the subject but I don’t yet fully understand the relation between the DVMT, the patches, and how everything is calculated Do you know of any good documentation on the subject? The one at Whatevegreen doesn’t really explain what is « stolen » and « cursor » for instance. Also, does these patches really allow using more than the BIOS allocated DVMT limit ? Or is it more of a way to squeeze the FB in the allocated memory? In the example 19Mb + 9Mb = 28Mb ? Is it 32Mb (allocated) + 28Mb « stolen » now ? 

Please help !

I've replaced the first post with links to WEG's Github documentation which is up to date and easier to manage

I am running a 4k display (BenQ EW3270U) on a hack-mac using i5 8600k with UHD 630 graphics using an HDMI 2.0 cable. The operating system is macOS 10.14.6 Mojave, the mainboard is a Gigabyte Z370 HD3.

 

Unfortunately, 4k does not work on my device currently the way I've set it up and i am starting to think, that the fix is discussed in this thread.

 

Is that a plausible assumption? I am gonna start playing with this frame buffer stuff. Would you please let me know, what software you use to display/edit your config.plist files? It does not look like clover to me. I'd appreciate that, thank you.

Did you use the Debug version of OpenCore?

Were also all the other kexts compiled to the latest version?

BUMP! @ardentwheel

[makk]

it works on this Asus K53E BBR5 I bought about 10 years ago with macOS Sierra 10.12.6.  trying to understand the layouts when time permits. Takes a lot of hours and days. 

 

Prior to understanding what Whatevergreen.kext  has, -had to patch using many methods which took along time to comprehend, mixing and matching.  Really! Lots of hacking.

But with everyones help and all the community out there, was able to run this hack. 

 

the "CPU unsupported" during boot shows up 3x when installed and running 10.13.6.
-screen locks and have to reboot.  went back to 10.12.6 Sierra-

even under Sierra after long duration would lock up.  

 

Since all of these are relatively new to me, VirualSMC.kext, Lily.kext, AppleALC.kext, RTCMemoryFix.kext. SMCBatteryManager.kext, I would like to find the right source of information that is not too hard to comprehend? Where would all these be talked about?

 

Thank you

0x158 "172.8 MHz CD" is the minimum valid value for "CD Frequency Decimal" of "CDCLK_CTL" but Apple expects one of the two maximum values - 0x50e "648 MHz CD" or 0x518 "652.8 MHz CD".

I have a hackintosh with iMac 19,1 SMBIOS and

• i9 9900K with headless iGPU set up
• AMD Radeon RX5700XT

I added the igfxfw=2 boot argument to my OpenCore 0.5.8, and sure enough, it boosted my iGPU performance to almost twice, but I don't see the

kernel: (AppleIntelCFLGraphics) [IGPU] Graphics Firmware Version: 2.14.0.0
kernel: (AppleIntelCFLGraphics) [IGPU] Graphics Firmware Version: 2.14.0.0
kernel: (AppleIntelCFLGraphics) [IGPU] Graphics accelerator is using scheduler: Apple Firmware
kernel: (AppleIntelCFLGraphics) [IGPU] Graphics accelerator is using scheduler: Apple Firmware

Instead, what I see is

kernel: (AppleIntelKBLGraphics) [IGPU] Graphics Firmware Version: 2.14.0.0
kernel: (AppleIntelKBLGraphics) [IGPU] Graphics Firmware Version: 2.14.0.0
kernel: (AppleIntelKBLGraphics) [IGPU] Graphics accelerator is using scheduler: Apple Firmware
kernel: (AppleIntelKBLGraphics) [IGPU] Graphics accelerator is using scheduler: Apple Firmware

Does only the Kabylake accelerator kext load currently, or is there something I can do to change things to where the Coffee Lake accelerator kext loads up?
