[Guide] Intel Ivy Bridge HD2500 Full Resolution and QE/CI (10.8.3+)

Status
Not open for further replies.
Hey all, I hate to revive a dead thread if there is not much activity in here anymore, but I have haven't had much luck.

Here is a rundown of what I've accomplished so far:
I am able to boot in regular mode, full resolution. I get no QE or CI.
At first my card was being recognized as an HD2500, this was with GraphicsEnabler=No.
I now have GraphicsEnabler=Yes, and for some reason it is being recognized as an HD4000, with a different device ID. It was 0166 with GE=No, it is now 0152 with GE=Yes. Confusing?

I tried using the EFI device properties with Chameleon, it didn't seem to change (or break) anything.

Any ideas? Anything specific I should upload for you to see? Thanks in advance!
 
I also had problems getting this to work...

I run a MSI Z77A-GD55 board with an i5 3450 Processor (HD 2500)
I have bought a new Video card which seems totally unsupported in my Hackintosh pc. ( Radeon R7 260x)
Since I also run Windows8 which can switch in realtime to the Radeon card, I added an hdmi switch and decided to use the
build in HD2500 card for Mac Os Mavericks...

I have tried for day's to get it to work, but with no success... but hey, this guide is for 10.8.3 (Mountain Lion)
and I'm running Mavericks ! ?

So I reverted back to Mountain Lion 10.8, did a upgrade to 10.8.5 and tried again..

this time with Success! HD2500 now works 100% in Mountain Lion.

seems that something goes wrong in Mavericks, I'm now going to try to upgrade to maverick, to see if the card stops working again...

Maybe this info helps someone...
 
upgrading to Mavericks is not even possible, it fails on the videocard when the installer is at 15 minutes left...
Tried a new installation on the ati card, everything goes well until I enable the hd2500 in the bios...

The grey screen with the apple logo shows up every time, and the system halts...

So i'm giving up on Mavericks, and go back to Mountain Lion for now...
 
Just wanted to add my unsuccessful notes:

I'm hackintoshing a Samsung All-In-One DP700a3d-a01us with Mavericks and have most everything working. Even the touchscreen is functioning via Touch-Base drivers. The integrated HD2500 just won't get recognized fully. I have the card recognized by name using the device id injection method, but the AppleIntelHD4000 kext won't accelerate QE/CI. System Information notes that the kext is not loaded while kextutil seems to think it is.

I've tried the device-properties method with only screen blank or no-boot results. Also attempted to compile a DSDT patch, but was unable to get correct compilation errors. I'm a programmer and still the process eludes me. If anyone has any suggestions on fixing the following compile errors I'd be very grateful:

"1/20/14, 8:51:20 AM, iASLamIv7r.dsl(10612) : error 6136: Non-hex letters must be upper case (pnp0c14)"

"1/20/14, 8:51:20 AM, iASLamIv7r.dsl(8944) : error 6084: Object does not exist (DTGP)"

"1/20/14, 8:51:20 AM, iASLamIv7r.dsl(5273) : error 6105: Invalid object type for reserved name (_PLD: found Buffer, Package required)"

Something I tried just now was to unload the kext and then reload it manually, it caused a kernel panic associated with that kext so perhaps this is just not meant to be? Seems strange that there are reports of full 2500 support out there, but so many of us are getting such poor results.

Anyways, just want to keep the topic alive so that we can hopefully eventually find a cure.
 
can someone help me to inject my hd2500.
i have tried anything with efi injection in chameleon but doesnt work
what do you need to upload here?
i have the platform ig of my hd2500 is 01660003

I'm assuming the problem come with HD2500, but i can't find the solution :(

Any help ??

This worked for me: Delete AppleIntelHD4000Graphics.kext from /System/Library/Extensions.
 
I am struggling with getting this to work as well. Chocoholic, can you give me some recommendations based on my system (graphics and ioreg attached).

I am running a i3-3220 CPU and a H77N-WIFI motherboard with Mavericks. Everything seems to work fine except for graphics acceleration which makes using Safari somewhat painful.

In answer to your frequently asked questions:
-Set your SMBIOS to macmini6,2
YES
-Remove the EFI string and disable the graphics enabler.
HOW DO I REMOVE THE EFI STRING?
-Restore all stock 10.8.3 kexts.
HOW DO I RESTORE STOCK KEXTS? I am running 10.9
-Enable the IGPU in your BIOS (enabled and given priority)
DONE
-Set vram to 32MB
DONE
-Remove the nvidia card (unplug from motherboard)
No card installed
-Connect your monitor using HDMI
DONE
-Boot using -v to see if any errors occur during boot.

This doesn't look like it works on 10.9

What looks like it doesn't work on Mavericks? HD2500 graphics or the solution proposed here? The graphics work fine on my system, just acceleration is not working....
