No accelerated video - GA-Z170N - Intel HD 530 gfx

[sporkman]

I'm still kind of catching up on how things differ with this whole EFI booting business, but after some issues with audio and migration assistant copying some extensions over from a previous hackintosh, I have this thing working.

So far my last big problem seems to be accelerated graphics on the onboard HD 530. I think... For example, WebGL stuff (ex: https://www.chromeexperiments.com/webgl) works fine, screen savers work fine. But the check I see others using in this forum is to run "Mac-X Video Converter" and see if it sees acceleration enabled. My box fails that test (see attached).

I've not done much so far - I have MultiBeast setup to inject Intel graphics. With just that, the test fails. I also put in the small "glitch in the upper-left corner" fix in config.plist, and that did fix the glitches, but the test still fails. I'm attaching my config.plist as well in case anyone can spot anything weird in it.

For some reason Hardware Encoding doesn't work with iMac17,1 system definition. Change it to iMac14,1 and it'll work.

Is IGPU coming under GFX0 instead of IGPU? Attach ioreg. [Guide] How to Make a Copy of IOReg | tonymacx86.com

Ah, so just to be clear, I have, as it looks to me based on the frame rates in the webGL stuff, full acceleration. The GPU assisted encoding, is a completely different thing, right?

I also did try "iMac14,1", but still no dice.

Looks like it is - if I search for "igp", no results, if I search for "gfx", I see what looks like some kind of device tree with "GFX0" in it somewhere. File attached.

Yes, they are different things. Hardware Encoding helps with faster rendering times in apps such as Final Cut Pro X, Davinci Resolve... If you don't use them, you don't need Hardware Encoding.

In addition to the iMac14,1 system definition, you might also need the GFX0 to IGPU patch mentioned by VoiletDragon.

Will need to rename GFX0 to IGPU. Are you using a DSDT?

 

[sporkman]

No DSDT...

 

[sporkman]

Bump. Looks like only the lack of hardware encode and working iMessage are all I have left. Any further ideas?

You can use Clover hot patch to rename GFX0 to IGPU.
It is under ACPI/DSDT/Patches

Most likely you have a lot more work to do with no ACPI patches.
