Done. Sorry for not having it up already! View attachment 138724


Edit: I'm additionally noticing I don't have a kext loaded under Graphics in System Information, and that during loading there is an error message stating it (kernel?) "could not attach framebuffer to driver".

Your SMBIOS is wrong.

Broadwell SMBIOS info: http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-laptop-support/164292-smbios-broadwell.html#post1040286

You're injecting a wrong vendor-id for graphics. I see <03 00 00 00> should be <86 80 00 00>.

Set config.plist/Devices/FakeID/IntelGFX=0.

Your device is natively supported... no need for FakeID (even if done correctly).

Does your XPS 13 suffer from graphical tearing and lag? I have everything working (wifi/audio/webcam) and the display running at 1920x1080, but the display is clearly not running at full speed, it looks to be 15 fps. Let me know!

I realized that I had patched the FrameBuffer kext wrong and repaired that and the SMBios issues, and my computer actually booted up with full working graphics. However, after a couple of restarts, it stopped working and I am receiving the same issues again (appears that gfx card might just be in VESA mode and not initialized). I reinstalled the entire OS and went through the entire setup process again and the same thing; it worked for a couple of restarts and now I cannot seem to get the card to reinitialize. If you have any ideas, that would be awesome.View attachment updated9343.ioreg

@sale, do your USB ports work?

SMBIOS problem is still evident.

Power management is not implemented.

No drivers are loaded for graphics. Do a fresh install to have vanilla drivers.
 
RehabMan,

In advance I just want to thank you for your help and knowledgeability. I'm writing right now from my XPS 13 (2015|9343, 1080p non-touch), with full graphics acceleration, working battery identifier (your kext), webcam, wi-fi, touchpad multitouch, and sound working. I narrowed down what I think might be the cause of the flashing glitch/graphics failure, because they disappeared after I disabled C-States in the laptop BIOS. I'm still not sure my SMBIOS is configured correctly, I've quoted that section of my Clover bootloader below if you could check it for me.

I still lack PM on the processor and it does not identify correctly in "About This Mac", but I'm content with living with that issue.


If this build remains stable over the next few days I'll make a write-up on how I did it and upload my bootloader folder!

Can you please post your config.plist and EFI/Clover folder? I am working on the 3,200x1,800 touch version and having some issues. I'd like to be able to compare our config.plist files as well as kexts to see what differences exist. Thanks in advance.

how did everything work out for u did u patch the bio or with out the bio patch u did your install .. i ask because when ever i use safari for my install my computer freezes but i use chrome and firefox my computer does not free and i have patch the bio successfully no problem..please let me no thanks .....
 
Yes, I did the BIOS patch. Every once in a while after maybe four or five hours I sometimes get a kernel panic or a freeze. I agree that Safari does occasionally make my system unstable until I close it so I stick to Chrome.

PS: If you are having a lot of freezing issues try disabling C-States in your BIOS settings. It made a lot of difference on my computer.
