Any Gaming 7 owners that are using the UHD 630 igpu in headless mode ? Could you post a mini-guide here on how to do that ? Would be helpful to those just starting out with this guide.
I've been trying to make it work using this guide https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/an-idiots-guide-to-lilu-and-its-plug-ins.260063/, but it's not a complete success yet. My iGPU is enabled in the BIOS, and I cannot see it in System Report (which is supposed to mean that it is indeed in headless mode). I do see it in Hackintool. But DRM video in iTunes still won't play.
The issue could possibly be because I'm using an HDMI connection to my display. I need to find my DP cables- all I have at the moment are HDMI and DP to TB (for my old Mac Pro). The displays came with DP cables, but they're packed up in a box somewhere, and we've moved since then. Hopefully I'll be able to track them down today.
If I do get it working, I'll definitely post here what worked for me.
One more thing you'll want to do is to disable the Port Limit patch. This patch is known to cause problems, it causes access outside a fixed array bounds. I don't believe that disabling it is part of this guide. You can easily do this using Clover Configurator or just completely remove it from the config.plist. It was originally used when installing High Sierra (that's why it's part of post #1) but no longer works in Mojave 10.14.3.
Thanks! I will disable that. I did discover that my high-power USB ports are no longer high-power after installing the SSDT that I linked earlier. So now my powered USB external drives are working, but my external SuperDrive is not. So I'm back to tinkering with that again.
