[Guide] Intel Framebuffer patching using WhateverGreen

Here are my device-id and ig-platform-id from my Skylake system. I use my IGPU in headless mode which is why ig-platform-id is 10001219. If you are using IGPU for display, it should be 00001219.

I made the edit to your config.plist... But for some reason, it's still showing device-id 3412000...

Please post your EFI folder so I can have a look.

Please try this EFI. Replace your existing EFI folder.

You probably don't need the EmuVariableUefi-64.efi file in /EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI/. Please use the Emulated NVRAM Uninstaller.

Make a backup of your existing EFI folder to the EFI partition of a USB flash drive so that you can boot from it in case this one doesn't work!!!

Thanks Pastrychef, but unfortunately this does not work. I boot into a black screen with this EFI. The only way I can boot to the desktop is with the device id set to 0x1234. Also, take a look at FB Patcher. It shows my IntelGen as ????? Could this be my problem?

Can you try changing system definition from iMac17,1 to iMac14,2 using device-id 12190000?

Thanks Pastrychef for the help, but unfortunately this still does not help. I have a question.....

What if I do a fresh install, putting all of the device properties for the 0x19120000 Skylake platform id from the FB Patcher program on the install plist.......would that maybe install my video properly? This may be a stupid question, but just asking.
 
Aren't we supposed to change GFX0 to IGPU in ACPI/DSDT/Patches ?

It is a good idea.
There is some code in WhateverGreen that attempts to do the rename for you, but it doesn't get everything.

Personally, I don't think a clean install would help... I could be wrong... The ig-platform-id settings in Clover shouldn't make any changes to system files.
