[Guide] Intel Framebuffer patching using WhateverGreen

[ananthujp]

Excuse me~can you share your config for me？I'm just facing the same problem like yours before and can't work it out...if you could help,thx~

Search for the config.plist suits your configuration :

Thanks for the guide,
just wanted to let you know it worked out for me with my Broadwell IGPU HD 6200 of my i5-5675c.
I did have to rename GFX0 -> IGPU.
Also went through screwing up the config.plist with Clover Configurator once.

For me it was not perfectly clear in the beginning, where exactly the ig-platform-id should be entered.
It became clear (?) only when I had advanced to the Framebuffer patching part (that I did not need).

Thanks again,

Rudolf

Any body can help to setup HD4600 in 4k mode?

Only have 2560 x 1440.

My setup:

CPU: Intel 4670K
MB: Gigabyte Z87MX-DH3
RAM: 24Gb
SO: 10.14

THX

I have the exact same problem with my HD 4600. Can't find solution though! Anyone help please!

When I use the <Device><Properties> method, everything works great, but I can *only* use display port. My HDMI connector seems to be inactive. Using the old <Graphics><Inject> method, both display port and HDMI work, but graphics is glitchy.

I've tried configuring the ports to disable the DP connector, but then none of the connectors work.

I'm using an Asus Prime H310T/CSM thin-mini-ITX board with a Core i5-8500.

Any suggestions?

My IGPU@2 from ioreg doesn't shows any framebuffer. Its looks like this:

Also I used your guide to dump framebuffer:

Having trouble compiling?
If you're having trouble compiling you can wait for the official binaries or download my (unsupported) build_lilu.sh shell script and run it in a folder to download and build Lilu + WhateverGreen using Xcode automatically. I recommend you try the debug versions first (place them into Clover's EFI/Clover/kexts/Other folder).

complied the latest version of lilu+WEG and installed the debug version. Then I tried the following:

Framebuffer Dumps
There are two ways to dump your framebuffer data (both require WhateverGreen + Lilu debug versions):

1. Using -igfxdump boot flag to dump IGPU framebuffer kext to /AppleIntelFramebuffer_X_Y (root of your boot drive)

There are several ways of reading this dump:
- Using 010 Editor along with the IntelFramebuffer.bt template
- Using Intel FB-Patcher File->Open menu

2. Using -igfxfbdump boot flag to dump native and patched framebuffer table to ioreg at IOService:/IOResources/WhateverGreen

There are several ways of reading this dump:
- Using dump_platformlist.sh shell script
- Using Intel FB-Patcher File->Import->IOReg Dump menu

but I didn't find any dump on my root of boot device or I can't even import anything using FB-Pather's IOReg Dump Menu.

But I got a log using -liludbgall & -wegdbg. Which I have attached.

I think I have noticed from the log, my CPU in unknown. it throws warning like this:

WARNING: IOPlatformPluginUtil : getCPUIDInfo: this is an unknown CPU model 0x9e

No matter what SMBIOS I tried. I tried iMac 14,2/18,1/18,2/18,3 and Macmini8,1.

My config:

CPU: i3 8100
OS: 10.14.2

Any help will be appreciated.

Question..
I am using UHD 620 5917 on Kaby Lake refresh i5-8250u. Which on config.plist suitable? macbookpro 15,2 or macbookpro 14,1 ?
the macboookpro 15,2 using 4 logical i5-8259u like i5-8250 but different 655 UHD.
the macboookpro 14,1 using 2 logical i5-7360u like i5-8250 but same 620 UHD.

I saw for Kaby lake on [README] Mojave Laptop troubleshoot
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/readme-common-problems-and-workarounds-on-10-14-mojave.255823/

Next step is to change AAPL, ig-platform-id and device-id to skylake laptop
- from 0x59160000 / 0x591B0000 to 0x1916000

SO for i5-8250U use macbookpro 14,1 smbios with AAPL, ig-platform-id 0x1916000 ?
or use macbookpro 15,2 smbios with AAPL, ig-platform-id 0x1916000 ?

Hi Rashiki, I have exactly this board and CPU and this problem. But I also don’t get my DP connector to work either. Can you share your EFI folder or at least your config.plist to see what I am doing wrong? I would like to have your problem...

Thanks.

I have the exact same problem with my HD 4600. Can't find solution though! Anyone help please!

I got it working with a vanilla Multibeast Mojave install and a manual patch to AppleIntelFramebufferAzul.kext (HD 4600 on Seiki 4k). Not very elegant but it was quicker than the 2 hours I spent trying (and failing) to get WhateverGreen to patch the framebuffer.

This exactly match with my hardware.

I'm currently SMBIOS iMac 14,2. I have changed my SMBIOS to 15,1 according to the suggestion of Intel FB-Patcher Tool. Whenever I generate and apply patch to my config.plist I got this error.

Am I making mistake somewhere. I have download and installed all the kexts Lilu, WEG, AirportBRCMFixup.kext to the /Library/Extension and repair cache using kext utility. One thing I have noticed If i remove the device-id system will boot normally with SMBIOS 15,1 but then did not get 4K resolution. Please be advised.


Unable to boot with the patch. Can anyone please help me.

Do you want to be kind enough to explain in detail the steps to be taken to get success? I also have the same card and the same problem.thanks
