[GUIDE] General Framebuffer Patching Guide (HDMI Black Screen Problem)

I follow your manual and this. is result:
That is very strange...why is Index 3 listed two times!

In my screenshot (Post #166 above) we have the last row like this:

Index -1, BusID 0x00, Pipe 0, Type DUMMY, Flags 0x00000020

If you make this change, copy the XML into your config.plist, and reboot, then what does Hackintool show when you select Framebuffer --> MacOS 10.14 and Patch --> Apply Current Patches?
 
Yes, I tested all 3 ports (DP,HDMI,HDMI).

Now I try your settings for the sleep and I will tell you if they work.
Very good. Your board has been added to the Guide.

Nothing to do for sleep :(

Anyway I want to tell you that you are a monster, you wrote one of the best and clear guide I ever read!
Very compliments and thank you :)
 
Problem is that all current data from Hackintool are fake. Similar to Framebuffer memory Hackintool shows not reliable informations for unknown reason. I checked my config with Xcode and last line is dummy ffff. That is what I wanted to report that there is a bug in Hackintool.

You're right -- your config.plist configuration is correct.
  • Do you have an older version of Hackintool, such as 1.7.6 or 1.7.4? I've seen good results with those versions.
  • If old version looks correct, but new version does not, then we can report the bug.
 
Sorry, all deleted.
I can upload v1.7.4 later tonight. If the problem only happens on new version but not on old version, then I can report the problem.

Attached is Hackintool 1.7.4. Please see if this version behaves any differently. I will delete this file after about a day.

Edit: File removed because I could reproduce the issue.

Hello @headkaze,

A number of users including myself are seeing some issues with the Connectors page of Hackintool:
  • We're running Mojave 10.14.2 and 10.14.3
  • We select Framebuffer --> MacOS 10.14 and also Patch --> Apply Current Patches
  • When we look at the Connectors page, however, it seems Index 3 is changed to Index -1 and the red highlighting feature is unavailable for any of the connectors.
Please refer to the attached matrix screenshot of 6 versions:
  • The three versions of Intel FB-Patcher (top 3 images) are behaving correctly.
  • The three versions of Hackintool (bottom 3 images) seem to have this problem.
  • The bottom 3 images should be identical to the top 3 images.
Thank you for looking into this!

What are your settings in ioreg? Do you have framebuffer-portcount set by any chance? If you do then the Patch->Apply Current Patches will apply this to your connectors. So if you have it set to 2 it will disable connectors 2 and 3. If a connector is disabled it won't show your monitor connected to this port.

Unfortunately I think Patch->Apply Current Patches setting is confusing a lot of people.
