I'm having the same issue at 10.12.6- At random times the mouse pointer enlarges a bit and returns back to normal
---edit
missed that this is a feature, lol

A small update on the HD630 issues that I have been facing..wow.. thanks a lot!! previously I only had -shikibeta flag.. after adding -shikigva, quicksync got enabled
But I still have the following issues:
- Artefacts on the top right of the screen. It happens after login and whenever an application is maximised and again resized.
- Boot screen garble!
Any suggestions for these?!!
- Boot screen is sometimes not garbled (observed during a new start after a shutdown). But this is not consistent. Most of the times the boot screen is still garbled.
- The artefacts on the top right corner of the screen are still present.
As already mentioned, I have lilu.kext, IntelGraphicsFixup.kext installed..
I have also been noticing Intel HD630 hangs/freezes at random times (at least once after every login). It's just for a few seconds and everything returns back to the normal state. And finally I have been able to capture the log info after such a freeze.
Code:

All the latest files are already attached to my post in that thread (https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...-power-management.222982/page-15#post-1565001).
Anyone else facing such an issue with Intel HD630 (or internal graphics)? Is there any solution for this?
edit: I have attached a screenshot of Intel power gadget during the graphics freeze. The GT frequency reaches around 1.3 GHz during this issue. Could this be somehow related?

@RehabMan Do you have any idea on how to resolve my issues(especially graphics freeze)? Or could this be a hardware issue?

Could someone explain how to extract the platform ids from the kext binary?
Is that IDA being shown? I assume that videoCardInfo is a struct? Is there a more appropriate place to discuss this?

Install Hex Fiend.
In Terminal:
Code:
open -a "Hex Fiend" /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelKBLGraphicsFramebuffer.kext/Contents/MacOS/AppleIntelKBLGraphicsFramebufferEach ig-platform-id is 184 bytes (in this kext and SKL).
It helps to expand the Hex Fiend window to 23 columns (need a big screen, 184/4/2=23), because then you can see each ig-platform-id lined up vertically (every other row).
You will find the table starts with 0x591e0000 and the last is 0x591b0106. The 0xFFFFFFFF signifies the end of table.

Thanks RehabMan,
That got me started— I found you can get the offset from
.
iamsidhu,
I'm experiencing the same momentary freeze, but no garbled boot screen or artifacts. I am unable to boot properly with two monitors plugged in, but plugging in the second after boot results in a normal display. On Coffee Lake (0x3e92 set to 0x59120000). Interestingly, 0x3e92 is found in AppleIntelKBLGraphics but not KBLFramebuffer. Coffee Lake Macs incoming?
I'll let you know what I find.
