Intel HD 2500 iGPU partially working with Mojave

[msrx386_64]

Fixed installing intelHDFix kext for Mojave and turning off injectIntel

Hi-

Can you please share the intelHDFix kext for Mojave, which you used to enable the Intel HD graphics 2500.

 

[msrx386_64]

Where did you place the intelHDFix Kext L/E, S/L/E or Others Folder on EFI.

@trs96 I'm back I think I have a DSDT.aml you can try. I have my hands on a 6300 if you are up for some fun.

@sonicman66 & @trs96 im almost done now with the fixes and optimizations for HP Elite 8300 MT & SFF/HP 6300 Pro.

If you guys are up i will try to assist into making HD2500 to work with macOS Mojave as i will be writing the guide for these machines very soon.

@sonicman66 if you could upload problem reporting files 1 more time completely i can take a look and create a new config.plist & SSDTs with WhateverGreen method so @trs96 can give it a try on his machine.

Not a good idea. Shouldn't share DSDT, as you can cause more harm than good, i.e. different BIOS versions, different BIOS options, different hardware etc. Everyone has to patch their own DSDT on their own machine to have success. SSDTs created with the same hardware can be shared, not DSDT.

I'm only interested in HD2500 if it can work for anyone with an Ivy Bridge CPU that has it. Not just for specific hardware configurations, custom DSDT's etc. I haven't seen the HD2500 graphics kexts, plugins or bundles in HS or Mojave so it's clear that Apple doesn't officially support it.

@trs96 i will post here the files and maybe you can give it a try and see how it works.

Theres is pretty much everything working as expected, only some minimal adjustments needed like possible Fan RPM reading etc.
I added two config.plist files, config-1 & config-2, they are both the same but just different ig-platform-id for HD2500 and see which one works.

Personally i don't use unibeast or multibeast as i personalize Clover for personal PC/Laptop use.

Kexts that i use:
- Lilu.kext
- WhateverGreen.kext
- VirtualSMC.kext (you can use FakeSMC.kext instead, just personal choice).
- AppleALC.kext
- IntelMausiEthernet.kext
- FakePCIID.kext & FakePCIID_XHCIMux.kext

i always install all kexts into /Library/Extensions, usually i create a desktop folder lets say called kext and put the kexts that i will install on that folder and then i open terminal and write the command:

sudo cp -R *.kext /Library/Extensions/

this command will copy all kexts with correct permissions into Library/Extensions/
then i rebuild caches with:

sudo kextcache -i /

into EFI/Clover/ACPI/Patched:
- SSDT-XOSI.aml
- SSDT-LPC.aml
- SSDT-SMBUS.aml
- SSDT-EC.aml
- SSDT-IMEI.aml
- SSDT-ALC221.aml

No need for SSDT.aml generated from the CPU PowerManagement guide via the script as everything is done into config.plist

For HD2500 it is described even on Headkaze Guide which should be supported:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-intel-framebuffer-patching-using-whatevergreen.256490/

Give my files a try, test if config-1 or config-2 gives you Graphics Acceleration on HD2500, im curious for someone to try as it will be a game changer for the people who can't yet afford a DGPU on their i5 models.

Will soon publish the Mojave guide for these machines thanks to your phenomenal Sierra/High Sierra guides for these Golden Desktops.

I have it working now, I'm booted to El Capitan and working fine. I went a different route all DSDT edits. I used the ("audio") info from @trs96 posts.

can anyone show me
I've a 5mb with intel hd2500 and no follgraphics
any suggestion is accepted

Tried both .plists and the SSDTs in EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched and the newest Lilu, AppleALC and WEG in /L/E still the same black screen at the desktop result as before. Boot times slowed way down too. I won't be attempting any more HD2500 trouble shooting. Don't plan on ever using it. HD4000 CPUs are very affordable these days. Anyone can buy one on Ebay and swap out their current HD2500 CPU quite easily. Others can still try this approach for HD2500 graphics and report their results here.

Thanks for the testing, just wanted to make sure that if it does work, to have the option for people who don't need a dedicated GPU an even more affordable choice, but it's still as affordable as it can get by just replacing CPU or purchasing one of the cheap models listed on your guide.
