[Guide] Intel Framebuffer patching using WhateverGreen

[nicksoph]

Is there a dumb human readable version of these instructions?

Thanks, it wasn't clear that you would not benefit from other patches and whether your need platform ID at all if you match your smbios.

Were you able to make it work? If you still need help, just post your config.plist (but remove your serial number from SMBIOS section).

For everyone with high end kaby lake, take in account to use smbios 14,1 and not 14,3 (dual gpu). For me it did the trick and at least minidp works .... without audio still.

To continue investigating, here is my clover configuration
and what I have un Hackintool...
I don't understand since I think I am really following every instruction...

Your config.plist looks good. However, you are right that Lilu/WhateverGreen do not seem to be loaded. When you Run Hackintool, first thing you should do is this:



To check which non-Apple kexts are loaded, run Terminal and type:
kextstat | grep -v com.apple

Hello again... Attached debug for a strange problem. I got minidp to work (HDMI gives kp) . With 00040000 I get pink tint. With 00080000 it is normal and correct. What am I doing wrong? In both cases audio doesn't work.

All right, I’ll check that
Thanks

all right, now I get information in Hackintool, but it still does seem to be actually applied.
Lilu and WhatEverGreen are running.

• First, let's confirm this: When you make a framebuffer change, save it to your config.plist, and reboot the system, does Hackintool successfully show the new settings

Sadly, no, apparently, my config.plist is not loaded as I would expect...
but for instance, if I check verbose or not, this is taken into account...

Two things must be done in Hackintool:

• From the menu bar, choose Framebuffer --> MacOS 10.14 (same as my previous post).
• From the menu bar, choose Patch --> Apply Current Patches (this "shows" the patches currently in effect; it does not actually apply new patches)

Then check this page again:

Also, please note that Lilu and WhateverGreen should be installed in /Library/Extensions folder. Simply use Finder to copy the files there and download/run Kext Utility to rebuild kernel caches (required). In fact, all kexts should be installed in /Library/Extensions.

Then change Inject Kexts to Detect as shown:



Reboot and check Hackintool again...

Hello
This is weird because hackintool now shows Lilu and Whatevergreen running (yes and yes like on your screenshot). I chose both « macOS 10.14 » and « apply current patch » in Hackintool menus.
But still no luke in getting video acceleration and increasing video memory (still 3 mo). Maybe I have video acceleration but still only 3mo vram. I am not able to read an gd video in VLC for example.
I have a recurring message during boot : weg device-Id 0x0A16 you should change it to 0x0412...
It is getting hopeless
Thanks for your valuable help
