Did you set DVMT-prealloc as required?

Did you read all of post #19 and the related link?
 
I have read


http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...stalling-el-capitan-spectre-x360-skylake.html


and find none diff except patching dsdt .




my bios DVMT-prealloc is default 64MB.


but you said


"For the UHD model, the DVMT-prealloc BIOS setting must be changed to 128MB"


at


http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...-y50-uhd-1080p-using-clover-uefi-10-11-a.html




and because flush the bios would void the warranty, so I choose to use this patch to fix the DVMT-prealloc.




Code: 
<dict>
<key>Comment</key>
<string>Disable minStolenSize less or equal fStolenMemorySize assertion, 10.11.4 ( (based on Austere.J patch)</string>

<key>Name</key>
<string>AppleIntelSKLGraphicsFramebuffer</string>
<key>Replace</key>

after do that .


I boot osx in normal mode .


I think iokit been patched succeed and the graphics card recognized by inject with


Code: 
<key>ig-platform-id</key>
<string>0x19160000</string>






because the loading bar and apple logo size change larger when loading precent about 70% 。


but then it stuck and blinking infinite loop.


I find some crash log and clover debug log might help.




Should I patch dsdt to disable nvidia card ?




Thank you for your patient.

I was reading this thread and it is important to note this when I attempted to change the DVMT prealloc using the EFI Shell method it completely bricked the XPS 9550 so do not change the DVMT preallocation! Luckily Dell replaced my XPS 9550 but I will never do BIOS/UEFI mods again without a flasher!

thanks for your remind !

so you give up it or your find another way to overcome and finally make it works perfect ?

Patching ACPI is important, but did you also read the part regarding graphics accelerator problems and the work around?
Click to expand...

yes, i read the part

HTML: 
Fix Display (Graphics Acceleration/Resolution/Sleep/Brightness):
1. Download and install newest Update from AppStore (10,11,4)
2. Graphics Acceleration: Change Platform ID in EFI/CLOVER/config.plist to 0x19160000
3. Brightness:- Apply "Brightness Fix" to DSDT with MaciASL- Download:https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-...ight/downloadsPut kext into EFI/Clover/kext/Other/
- Remap Brightness Keys under System Preferences/Keyboard/Shortcuts/Display

but it still does not work.

Is DVMT-prealloc equals 64MB can support 4K resolution or it MUST be 128MB only ?

I'm referring to a different part... Read the entire post carefully.

Might need to be 96mb. Really unknown at this point.. I'm not certain anyone has reported 4k working Skylake.

I gave up when I bricked my XPS 9550. You have managed to get further than I have gotten so well done! And thanks RehabMan for your help and assistance on hackintoshing on laptops. It is appreciated. I would be interested if the-darkvoid could assist with the XPS 9550 as he has done such a good job with the XPS 9530! Anyway I will be trying to hackintosh my XPS 15 during the summer (Mid June onwards). Hopefully more progress will be made then and Apple will have released the Skylake refresh of the Retina MacBook Pro line.

I think it should be the AppleIntelSKLGraphicsGLDriver crushed after clover boot finished .

because I open the debug option in clover config.plist and find clover boot normally .
but when it load AppleIntelSKLGraphicsGLDriver , it crashed !

maybe there is a *.dylib to replace and solve it .

--edit---

finally I boot osx with qe/ci supported by use a mod AppleIntelSKLGraphicsGLDriver by DoiX .

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/to...00hq-intel-hd-530-partially-working/page-2#38


inject id for hd530 is 0x191b0000 .

wifi supported original.

now there are something else not properly working .

memory real size
bluetooth
audio
battery status
block optimus nvidia
sleep awake

I will try to fix them and post a complete tut .

thanks for RehabMan , the-darkvoid, DoiX and many authors of posts.

Well done for getting full acceleration (qe/ci) without the DVMT patches :D That is why they were necessary but you managed to get it working with the Skylake patch :D. Is this on a 1080p Monitor or the 4k UHD screen though as that is important obviously! In terms of getting bluetooth working I believe you can use FakePCID with a broadcom patch to get that working. Good to know wireless works out of the box as the Broadcom chip used in the Dell XPS 9550 is the same as in the new Macbook I believe. Audio will be difficult as I haven't seen any patches for the specific ALC codec that is used. Optimus blocking, sleep wake and battery status should be achieveable with a DSDT patch! Good luck you are almost there seemingly :D. Also in terms of trackpad driver would it be better to use VoodooPS2 or use the smart trackpad driver from here? http://forum.osxlatitude.com/index....-and-synaptics-smart-touchpad-driver-mac-os-x The trackpad is a Synaptics trackpad according to research I did.
