I am having a hard time finding out about Intel HD P4600, which I believe is very similar to the HD 4600 and is, or was, unsupported. Is it worth me trying this, or am I still out of of luck and need to buy a graphics card? Whatever the case, well done! :)

Definitely try it. What is the P4600 device-id?
 
Will this have any potential impact on plain "Intel HD Graphics" like on G3258 or on Haswell Celeron C2955U or even Bay Trail processors like Z3735F? That would be a MAJOR game changer opening up OSX to tons of machines!

They are all GT1 devices, and GT1 support seems lacking in OS X ATM.

Certainly, someone with the hardware could play around with it...
 
Absolutely great !!! It just works with my i3 4160 on a Gigabyte Z97M-D3H , OSX 10.10.1

Thanks a lot !!!
 
Does this apply to DESKTOP HD4600 graphics as well?

Thanks, running lspci in Terminal in Ubuntu gives me this:-
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3 Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:041a] (rev 06)

It is GT2. Seems like it is worth trying following post #1.

Many thanks. Here is where I am at the moment. I installed your kexts and now am wondering about my config.plist. I use Clover rather than Chameleon.

Under <key>FakeID</key> I have added some of my device IDs, including


<key>IntelGFX</key>
<string>0x41a8086</string>

Is that the equivalent of Chameleon's <key>IGPDeviceID</key> <string>0412</string> which Tony refers to? 041a in my case.

Under <key>ig-platform-id</key>
I have tried <string>0000260C</string> and <string>0D220003<string/> and at the time of writing am about to try <string>0x01620006</string>


So far, System Information's Kernel Extension Info is still saying No Kext Loaded

Any suggestions welcome. :)

For Clover, you want: config.plist/Devices/FakeID/IntelGFX=0x04128086

Injecting 0x41a doesn't make any sense (that ID is not supported by the kext's Info.plist). The idea behind FakeID is to inject a *supported* ID when the native ID is not supported.

And yes, config.plist/Devices/FakeID/IntelGFX=0x04128086 is the same as org.chameleon.boot.plist/IGPDeviceID=0412.

Under <key>ig-platform-id</key>
I have tried <string>0000260C</string> and <string>0D220003<string/> and at the time of writing am about to try <string>0x01620006</string>

It is probably best to leave it at default (eg. unspecified). Until you discover that it doesn't work anyway...

Note: None of this does anything without config.plist/Graphics/Inject/Intel=true.
