<< Solved >> GPU acceleration issue?

[LOQuence]

My mouse is sluggish and some kind of artifacts happen as you can see on the video. Is this an issue because of GPU acceleration? Since I use iGPU of my Intel i5 7500 processor I thought I don't have to make special adjustments for the graphics except the BIOS where I've selected 64 mb.

Here is the example of my problem:

Thank you in advance!

Hi there.

Two things:

1) Yes, you are correct. You do not have hardware acceleration for your iGPU.

2) Your config.plist might be malformed. Double-check your upload. It failed to parse correctly.

@LOQuence, UtterDisbelief was being polite, your Clover config.plist is a complete mess.

You need to create a new config.plist that contains useful entries that will work with your Kaby Lake system and IGPU.

Wow, I just checked it because I uploaded the file from my phone and I'm shocked by how messed up it is. I figured that it because I use a CCO instead of a normal CC, for some reason it kept bugging my config. Anyhow, I followed the guide from hackintosh.github and manually did the config.plist and I'm 99% sure I did everything exactly as it's written but now when I boot with it my screen goes black after the Apple logo loads up. Any suggestions?

EDIT: Somehow I got it to work, miracoulously I would say because I've no idea what exactly I done but it works. Only thing that doesn't work right now are display Hz but I can live with that to be honest, it won't let me choose, its gray ed out on 60.

EDIT 2: I can't go over 60 hz because I am using a dual link DVI-d, it can only do 1080p120Hertz but I'm on a 1440p monitor so I'm limited to 60 Hertz so I guess I solved the problem.

Thank you both for your assistance!

That is a better config.plist but you have the IGPU settings in the wrong section.

You have the IGPU settings in the Devices > Arbitrary section:



When they should be in the Devices > Properties section:



I think you need to check the USB port limit patches for Mojave, as they don't appear to be correct either.



There are 4 x USB port limit patches required for Mojave.

Highlighted USB PLP's for Mojave

Your Kaby Lake system only requires SSDT-EC-USBX.aml and SSDT-PLUG.aml to work with macOS. You can create custom SSDT-EC.aml and SSDT-PLUG.aml for your system using your system DSDT.aml and Corpnewt's SSDTTime python script. And then add a separate SSDT-USBX.aml if you prefer not to use the generic (catch-all) SSDT's that are commonly used.

I would recommend you read and follow this guide for USB configuration created by UtterDisbelief - https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/the-new-beginners-guide-to-usb-port-configuration.286553/

Oh god, and I thought I had it right this time. But atleast it works now. I'll fix it, thank you a lot!
