Hello together,

I managed to get (except of bluetooth) the basic parts working, but I am struggling with getting the HDMI out to work. When I plug in the HDMI cable, the notebook screen goes black for 1 few seconds and comes back. The OS doesn't regocnize the external monitor. This "flickering" only appears with the boot flag agdpmod=vit9696. Without nothing happens at all.

I testet several configurations and with the current AAPL,ig-platform-id und device-id I got full-screen resolution and graphics acceleration working (according to the VDADecoderChecker). I watched several videos, read guides and still no success after many hours.

I uploaded my EFI and hope you can help me. This fails are very devastating at the moment :(

agdpmod=vit9696 is for desktop system

"and" does not belong in boot arguments

igfxonln=1 my help

igfxdump
igfxfbdump
can both be removed
 
Thank you. I've done your changes, but still no HDMI out. I mapped my USB ports and tried different AAPL,ig-platform-id, here are my results

With IORegistryExplorer I can see that framebuffer 1 und 2 are activated and the connector-type of both is set to the hexkey for HDMI. I just have not enough experience to figure it out myself.

Here is my current zipped EFI (deleted AirportItlwm.kext in the zip file to make it a bit smaller for uploading).

you could also try the different SMBIOS as per:
 
Any recommendations which alternative SMBIOS I could try?
try all those from the link

also then test each ig-platform

Everything else I have set up is correct then?

Edit: No luck so far. I testet my HP G5 USB Dockingstation with both only 1 Displayport or HDMI connected. Power and USB are working. Installed Displaylink Drivers for testing. USB Port is mapped as "typeC+SW". No Display output aswell, maybe the problem is somewhere else?

WoW you are a genius!! HDMI is working now, thank you so much!

Please tell me, there are several numbers at framebuffer-con1-alldata=01010900 00080000 C7010000 02020A00 00040000 C7010000

What do they mean and do?

Because con1 can't be recognised with the usual frame buffer it as to be changed with alldata=.I had the same problem with my HP Laptop. now I use thunderbolt with a Apple thunderbolt to HDMI work great plus I get High Dynamic Range.
