[Guide] Intel Framebuffer patching using WhateverGreen

[pinktank]

Do I understand correctly that if I want to run connectorless on a hd 630(7700k) to provide quicksync with a Radeon RX560, all I do is plus Whatevergreen and add 0x59120003 (03001259) under config.plist/Devices/Properties/PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0)? Would I benefit from any other of the FB patching?

I am to remove all other inject and not have -disablegfxfirmware?

It’s still not working...

Please search this forum and other forums for experiences of people with similar or exact specs as yours. You may also want to create a new thread in the Mojave laptop support section with a clear and complete description of the problem you’re facing.

If running in headless or connectorless mode, there’s no need to configure anything beyond platform ID and SMBIOS. Posts 1 and 2 of this thread contain all the requisite details.

Please check whether you are setting "device-id" to 0x0A16 in Devices --> Properties. As you can see below, that is not valid, so you should change it to 0x0412 or 0x0A26.

From Post #1:

Gen 4: Haswell (Intel HD Graphics 4200-5200)

• S/L/E/AppleIntelFramebufferAzul.kext
• Support started with OS X 10.9.x
• device-id: 0x0D26 0x0A26 0x0A2E 0x0D22 0x0412
• AAPL,ig-platform-id (desktop): 0x0D220003 (default)
• AAPL,ig-platform-id (laptop): 0x0A160000 (default), 0x0A260005 (recommended)

Thank you for your reply
So I need to add a property line :
device-id 0x0412
Should i enter 1204 or 00001204 or anything because I can find anywhere people requiring to define this value...
This is what the error message suggests... I’ll try that

Thanks, it wasn't clear that you would not benefit from other patches and whether your need platform ID at all if you match your smbios.

Hello,
I have tried with device-id = 12040000 but still not success in Clover Configurator.
Maybe I am doing it the wrong way.
I do that in Clover and I change the config.plist of the EFI Partition.
it looks like whatevergreen and Lilu Are maybe not loaded (in Hackintool)
what should I do.

Hi, @headkaze thank you for this amazing post. It's a cure for newcomers with Intel Graphics.

Just one question, in Gen 7: Kaby Lake (Intel HD Graphics 610-650) part:
You write AAPL,ig-platform-id (desktop): 0x59160000 (default)

However, in the sheet of the 2nd floor, it writes
0x59160000 (mobile, 3 connectors, no fbmem)

Since 0x59160000 is for mobile platform, should it be recommended for desktop instead of laptop?
If I make some silly mistakes, please correct me.
Thank you all for these amazing instructions again!

To continue investigating, here is my clover configuration
and what I have un Hackintool...
I don't understand since I think I am really following every instruction...

Hello everyone. I tried most available port for miniDP(which is my first concern) but with the stock hackingtool configuration I have only black screen. Changing ports results in kernel panic upon hotplug. Is there any solution to be certain about the configuration? Attached gen_debug debug informations. Machine is a Thinkpad t470P with i7 7700hq and hd630 with a whqhd display (which works fine). Hope to get some help, Thanks!

Hello, did you meet the same question? I use the SystemInfo tool to view, Lilu.kext, Whatevergreen.kext has been load. But there was no load in the Hackintool. How did you fix it?
