Minidisplayport Video doesn't working on lenovo thinkpad w530

[Devakuo]

Hello,

I tried to connect another monitor via mini displayport but it doesn't show nothing.

I don't find anything about that but the guide for the hdmi sound.

Thanks!

"If your discrete device (AMD Radeon or Nvidia) is not routed through the Intel GPU, then it is considered dedicated. Some laptops have the internal display connected to the Intel GPU and the external HDMI/DP port connected to the discrete graphics device. It is rare, but in that case you would be able to get the device to work with the external display with proper kexts and correct configuration, much like a dual-GPU desktop setup." - Extracted from the guide.

Is this what happening in lenovo w530? How could I know it? @Feartech @RehabMan

I tried to install whatevergreen.kext and the patch ig-platform-id = 0x01660004 and InjectEDID = Yes.

Still without video via minidisplayport. @Feartech @RehabMan

Plug external monitor. Then examine display properties.

Your image is not readable.
Look at Display Properties... Windows will indicate which graphics device is connected to the monitor.
