Thank you for giving the dump of Intel FB-Patcher, in fact thanks to this, we might be able to fix Intel HD Graphics 2500 for other HP elite users that have only IGPU.
There are benefits but as for now, it’s not properly configured.
Are u using WhateverGreen.kext or not ?
Will give this one a try and post a testing config for whoever wants to test this.
Thank you.
Yes, I am using WhateverGreen and Lilu's most recent versions. I tried some experimenting with
the Idiot's Guide to Lilu and its Plugins and the Intel FB Patcher (New called Hackintool 1.7.4). I
tried to follow their guides faithfully.
To start with, I disabled the config.plist patch to rename GFX0 to IGPU and allowed WhateverGreen
to manage that renaming as recommended.
Second, I tried two different AAPL,ig-platform-id's, and with each, I added the deivce-id to set it to
0152 for Intel HD 2500 graphics. I tested with my i5-3570 8300 with an MSI RX650 graphics card.
With AAPL,ig-platform-id set to 01620007, the Intel FB patcher recognizes it as headless, but does
not recognize MacMini6,1 as a valid model number. IO registry explorer correctly reports it as Intel HD 2500.
The boot has a longer delay with integrated graphics enabled, and I have a slightly lower score on Geekbench4
wiht Metal graphics on GPU performance with IGPU enabled in BIOS. The patch generator doesn't give me any additional info to add to device properties. With IGPU disabled in BIOS, it doesn't seem to care about the
added platform and device -id's, and I get the best Geekbench4 scores, comparable to disabled with no
ig-platform-id defined.
With AAPL,ig-platform-id set to 0166000A, the Intel FB patcher does not recognize it as headless, but does
recognize MacMini6,1 as a valid model number. IO registry explorer correctly reports it as Intel HD 2500.
The boot has a longer delay with integrated graphics enabled, and I have a slightly lower score on Geekbench4
with Metal graphics on GPU performance. The patch generator shows connector info, and if I modify it, the patch
generator produces various connector configuration properties. I tried to set all the connectors to dummy type
for headless, and imported the generated connector info into my config.plist. I didn't see any improved performance,
and lost some control of the ALC221 like headphone output, but HDMI was still working.
When I get back to it, I'll try running a DVI input display from the display port with integrated graphics as the
primary display and report back.
