Hey there!
I am struggling to get UHD 620 working properly on macOS Mojave 10.14.2. The graphic drivers are loading and system report says "Intel HD Graphics 620 1536 MB".
I will try my best to explain the situation I am facing.
So the system boots up pretty fast till first stage Apple Logo, At the second stage, when the screen flickers for a tiny bit of second, progress bar always seems to get stuck. After waiting for a couple of seconds, the mouse pointer comes, stating the login screen has loaded.
Then I can type in the password and hit enter to login, I'll just see a spinning bar overlapping the Apple Logo and then, we can see a very faded out desktop.
As the desktop fades in to screen normally, in my case, it get's stuck at the initial fade state. At this point if I plugin in HDMI cable, the screen becomes normal and I get display both on HDMI and internal display.
Then, I get stutters and lags like, If I delete a file from desktop, it would be deleted but the icon still stays there until I relaunch Finder or Navigate the same location from the Finder window.
The launchpad opening and closing is very smooth, like it is when the graphics is working normally. The lags can be more specifically said to be rendering delays. As in, the actual stuff is happening only it is not being visually updated.
When we open System Prefs any of the sub prefs will not load or it will load and the title would say "Loading General, Loading Displays or Loading XYZ"
But we can access the prefpane if we open it directly by right clicking on System Pref icon and choosing the appropriate option.
If I type something in 'Terminal' a few letters will be (visually) shown while in the background, everything is working, If I minimize terminal or resize it's window, the text get's rendered/updated.
I have also tried with Skylake spoofing with both on HS and Mojave, The issue is the same.
Also, If I adjust the graphics brightness from the prefpane, If I directly click at the point that I want, the display behaves normally whereas if I slide gradually, entire window crashes and I am sent back to the login screen.
Same crash happens when I use the brightness keys to adjust the brightness.
One thing to note: In any case, when some freeze happens, I can connect or disconnect HDMI to get the screen back to normal.
I am being this vague as I seriously can't understand what is happening in this case.
Tried with fixing EDID, changing color depth, and what not. The issue prevails. Please have a look and guide me on what to do next.
I am attaching the full PR files for the review.
Also, here is a video in case my explanation was not quite clear:
P.S: Specs are not in my signature as I do not own this machine. Specs can be found in preboot.log
Regards
