Hi,
I had attempted installing High Sierra on MSI GS73VR 7RF with 17 inches 4K screen.
This config from
https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Clover-Laptop-Config/blob/master/config_HD615_620_630_640_650.plist
seems working, however I had to change ig-platform-id to 0x12345678.
With this invalid id the system boots without graphic acceleration.
Installing
LiluFriend, CoreDisplayFixup, IntelGraphicsDVMTFixup, IntelGraphicsFixup, Lilu kexts
seems to allow booting with the valid (0x591b0000) ig-platform-id.
However, the notebook screen is not showing anything after laptop fully boots.
There are just some leftovers from the booting process are displayed on the screen.
Laptop itself is working fine even though nothing is displayed on the screen -
I can connect with VNC Viewer and see that the display is something like 1024x768 or so.
This laptop BIOS does not have the settings for DVMT pre-allocated.
Even if it does, by opening the BIOS with AMIBCP_v5.0.1,
I see that it is already set to the max value (64MB) for this platform
The value is "DVMT Pre-Allocated" in
Root->Setup->Advanced->System Agent (SA) Configuration->Graphics Configuration
What helped is changing the "Replace" data in the KextsToPatch section
<string>0x591b0000, 32MB BIOS, 19MB framebuffer 9MB cursor bytes (credit RehabMan)</string>
from 19MB for framebuffer to 64 million bytes (64MB causes Kernel panic).
The right-side value (cursor bytes) I have changed to 0:
Therefore, the Data is
<0090d003 00000000>
Or, when viewing the config.plist in the text editor
<data>AJDQAwAAAAA=</data>
I hope, this will help somebody setting up the Hackintosh.
