SMBios 19.x - iMacs 2019

[TurbineSeaplane]

It's new video card drivers. The Radeon VII and Vega users are also having great success with 10.14.5 betas.

It’s so great! Makes me a happy happy camper

@pastrychef what is your IGPU framework? is it CFL?

@pastrychef what is your IGPU framework? is it CFL?

I don't understand the question... I'm using the IGPU on my i9-9900K.

@pastrychef I've successfully installed the imac 19.1 10.14.4 special build (couldn't wait for 10.15.5 lol).

Was just wondering, what are your recommended settings for boot args, and the "AAPL,ig-platform-id" in the devices tab?

I'd like to run my iGPU in headless to mimic the real imac. How do I set that up?

If you are using iMac19,1 and macOS 10.14.4 (18E2034), you can just leave ig-platform-id and device-id blank. You don't have to populate any of those fields. Clover does it for you automatically.

You can confirm by checking IORegistryExplorer to see how ig-platform-id and device-id are set.

Confirmed that I'm on macOS 10.14.4 (18E2034). in clover configurator, my graphics tab is blank. In Devices, I don't have a device-id set (removed the device-id line altogether), but I do have an ig-platform-id. See the attached screenshot.

Is it safe to also remove the ig-platform-id line?

Even all of that is not needed. You can delete that.

Oh interesting. I'll try it!

Is that the only thing I have to do for headless? Currently (according to videoproc) both H264 and HVEC are operational.

Yup. That's all you have to do.

Yup. That's all you have to do.

IORegistry looks the same as yours now for the iGPU. Thanks a lot.

Unfortunately my CPU (i7-9700K) isn't recognized in 'about this mac'.

Tried CPU Type: 0x0709 and FakeCPUID: 0x0906EC with no luck. Not too bothered by it, but I do wish it worked. Can't expect it to work though with an i7 9th gen :\.
