[Guide] Intel Framebuffer patching using WhateverGreen

[CaseySJ]

Nothing. Tried that one as well System boots but no acceleration working.

Thank you so much for your help.

Here's my EFI folder.

Please backup your existing EFI folder and completely replace it with this one. You had 2 incorrect kexts installed which I removed, so let's see whether it makes any difference.

I tried your EFI but still it boots without acceleration. Is there something else I can upload to diagnose better the issue ?

Please upload a screenshot of the files in your /Library/Extensions folder in Column view. Also try the modified EFI folder attached.

Here you go. Sadly not working even your newest EFI.

I was wondering about installing Mojave at this point, I just need this acceleration to work and maybe on Mojave everything would be easier.

Thank you for this message.

Which one of my Kexts is 3rd party? Tbh I can't understand whether one is 3rd party or not.

You can check my EFI folder in the previous post and the screenshot I've posted a few mins. ago.

I have two questions about whatevergreen patch mechanism:

1. What does "framebuffer-con1-alldata" will be changed to? For example, from the plist provided by Rehabmanguide, config_HD4000_1600x900.plist, data in "framebuffer-con1-alldata" is 02050000 00040000 07040000 03040000 00040000 81000000 04060000 00040000 81000000, so these are about connector type, port, flag etc, right? What will they be changed to? Doesn't these contain three connectors' data?

2. What if i inject a different ig-platform-id in config.plist->Graphics->ig-platform-id than that in "AAPL,ig-platform-id" field, will all whatevergreen patch lost its effect? Put it another way, is whatevergreen patch be specific to the ig-platform-id?

Thanks!
