<< Solved >> Garbled Graphics HD4600 - Haswell laptop

[kungfukid]

Hey Guys,

Firstly I just want to say thanks to all the contributors to this forum, it's a great place to learn a lot.

I've been trying to setup my laptop on Mojave, I used to have it running Sierra but stupidly deleted my EFI folder about a year ago and cannot remember how it was setup. Things seem to have moved on with clover and patching since then!

Please find attached my problem reporting files.

Ideally I'd like my HD4600 to work with acceleration at present it's only showing 7mb?


Thanks in advance

Will

check the laptop guide for updated config.plist for Mojave:

[Guide] Booting the OS X installer on LAPTOPS with Clover

Overview One of the first challenges you'll face in installing OS X to your laptop will involve getting the OS X installer to boot from USB. This guide is for those wishing to use Clover (and in fact the only bootloader supported here). Both installing using Clover UEFI and Clover legacy are...

Hi FearTech,

Thanks for replying, I have used the plist from 'booting osx on laptops with clover' for my HD4600, I have moved all my kexts from /clover/other to s/l as mentioned in the guide and I still get a garbled screen on boot up. I can only bypass this and get to the desktop by disabling the device properties for 'AAPL,ig-platform-id - 0600260A' and 'device-id 12040000'

I have tried using FakePCIID.kext & FakePCIID_Intel_HD_Graphics.kext installed in L/E I have also tried using Lilu.kext and WhateverGreen.kext and neither seem to work, I understand it will be my misunderstanding but at the moment I'm just going round in circles.

if you could shed any more light on it that would be great.

Many Thanks,

`Will

I did find an old copy of a config.plist in which the graphics are detected but the screen glitches. I'm struggling to see what the difference is between them?

Would you be able to identify what I have done wrong.

Many Thanks

try MacBookPro 11,1 system definition

also 1 of your config,plist has a lot of useless information

also you have disabled change GFX0 to IGPU in your config.plist

best to try the config.plist as is

 

[kungfukid]

Thanks for that
The plist I'm using is everything but hd4600 works.plist.

I have tried using MacBookPro 11,1

I thought I need to have disabled change GFX0 to IGPU as I have a 860m discreet card?

 

[kungfukid]

Do I need to change

GFX0 to IGPU to 'enabled' to get my hd4600 working.?

I thought all references of gfx0 needed to be disabled as they refer to my discreet graphics card?

Many thanks for the tips

no because you will be using your intel graphics and then use the guide to disable your nvidia card:

[Guide] Disabling discrete graphics in dual-GPU laptops

Overview The purpose of this guide is to show you how to disable the discrete graphics device with DSDT/SSDT edits in "switched" dual-GPU laptops (eg. Intel+Nvidia[Optimus] and Intel+Radeon). Because only the Intel device can be used in these laptops, the discrete device is generally left...

no, use the config.plist as is, leave it enabled
