Problems with Kaby Lake Graphics
There are some currently known issues with Kaby Lake graphics:
- Connecting HDMI display or TV causes the Internal Display of the laptop to have very low refresh rate "look like" and laggy cursor.
- Unplugging the HDMI display or TV will leave your internal display of the laptop stay black and you will be forced to Hard Reboot by holding power button and then to boot again.
- Shadows, Backgrounds, Blurry images and Windows will appear pixelated and ugly looking.
Thanks to @RehabMan we have a solution for this by using Skylake Spoof.
As an example for this i will take my Lenovo V330-15IKB (KabyLake R) laptop.
In normal cases i would use AAPL, ig-platform-id 0x591B0000 or 0x59160000, which used to work fine in macOS High Sierra 10.13.6, prior to 10.13.6 i also needed a patched EDID to fix the issues listed above.
Now thanks to WhateverGreen.kext this process is much easier, all we have to do is to use: lilucpu=8 kernel flag by adding it into config.plist /Boot/Arguments
Next step is to change AAPL, ig-platform-id and device-id to skylake laptop
- from 0x59160000 / 0x591B0000 to 0x1916000
Here is an example in the picture down below:
