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

So, there is only this variants for me :
a) Image on screen, but no video acceleration.
b) Use version < 10.15.x
c) No image on screen at all.

Is it correct ?
Correct, but if you have an available PCIe slot, then an AMD GPU would be a good choice.
 
Hello,

I can not make it work for me, I already tried all the BusIDs and the indexes in a patch .. could someone help me, I have a VGA in the laptop, the acceleration intel HD works. The laptop restarts normal but when connecting VGA there is no video, no signal. :(

When I connect the VGA none lights up.

Could someone give me an idea. I have Catalina.

VGA has never been supported on recent macOS versions (or any?)

I'd suggest plug into that nice HDMI port right next to it.

not for over 10 years!
 
Thank you very much for the help, I also have a lenovo M710s and if the VGA port works in Catalina . But of course all the hardware is not the same.

I will install in high sierra and try the laptop. Any news makes it known here and maybe someone will help you.
 
Pipe and Flags are the 3rd and 5th columns in the screenshot you posted. We don't have to worry about these items though. Just focus on Index, BusID, and Type.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding this post, but Flags were critical to my system's ability to wake from sleep. Without specifying flags, my system would wake to dark screens and I was unable to remotely login. Some of my test results are here and my latest display sleep / wake findings are here.

Those are good posts, particularly the experimentation with igfxonin=1.

We set Pipe to the same value for all ports to avoid reboot when HDMI cable is hot-plugged.

Regarding Flags, the default value in Hackintool is 0x3C7, which we keep intact. Because this is not something we change, I asked the poster to focus only on modifying Index, BusID and Type.

Thanks for the quick reply! All makes sense. I am finding that my DP ports (using DP->DVI adapters) are hot-pluggable without specifying pipes.
 
Can you help please?

Before I can use Hackintool to set frame buffer correctly, I need to get my Intel HD4000 set up right. As you can see from the attached it is not. There is SO much info out there (including here) on this topic and adjacent ones that I am confused!

Looks like none of my connectors is active?

Also, when I use apply current patches, it doesn't do anything.

Apologies if I am being an idiot.

What do I do please?
