Unsupported graphics is not death warrant

[Slice]

Hey all,

We are all very sure that without supported graphics card Hackintosh is impossible. But I want to say it is not a verdict.

See.

 

The notebook is ASUS X200CA with CPU Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU 2117U @ 1.80GHz. No discrete video card.

There is only HD2500 which is not supported whatever WEG setting you will use.

I install here Mojave 10.14.6 and test.

Yes, the graphics memory is 4Mb which mean unsupported.

Safari is full of artefacts but I am using Yandex.Browser which is Chromium based. And it works as you see on the screenshot. It also shows video.

QuickLook opens JPG files.

Next test is Chess.

It is playable and without artefacts. Remember this is OpenGL application.

Next  OpenGL Extensions Viewer.

Yes, it is shown and the cube rotates with a framerate 8fps. Slow but works.

The explanation is at a top of the picture. Apple has a technology of Software OpenGL and it is here.

So.... the hackintosh on the hardware is possible and not so bad as we usually tell.

My question is still; does Graphics Power Management work? I doubt w/o it, the heat will shorten "Soldered CPU's" life.. but, #CMIIW

Sleep is not working. Brightness is constant.

But AGPM is attached
