Partial success. Please check post #2

With the much appreciated help from Feartech, I finally was able to successfully get my HD530 configured patching the Framebuffer.
Now I am trying to connect 2 monitors. My computer has 1 HDMI 2.0 port and 2 Display Ports.
Port 2 (HDMI) and Port 1 (DP) work, but one at a time. I tried hot plugging, but with no success. I've been reading around the forum people messing with the bus id, port types, port count and pipes on FB Patcher, but all the systems are different from mine. I also don't understand the logic of it.

To add to the confusion, another user claims to have full acceleration with dual monitors on his HD 530. He shared his EFI Folder on another thread, but I can't make any sense of it. It seems like a mix of pseudo solutions.

have dual monitor on Mojave 10.14.2, no hot plug needed. works well. HD 530 i5 6500, HP EliteDesk 800 G2

Can anyone with experience try to make any sense of it?
Thank you

Update:

Using the mentioned plist, I was able to get 2 monitors on HD 530 on Mojave 10.14.1 with full acceleration.
Caveat: While on apple logo boot I can only see 1 monitor. After boot, 2nd monitor wakes to black/ white and I get arrangement on System Preferences. If I disconnect the monitors from the DP ports and reconnect, I get dual screen working 100%.

Can anyone try to understand what the plist does, fine tune it to make it permanent, without the monitors disconnect and reconnect and without the unnecessary garbage from the plist?

Debug files attached.

Thank you

Did you manage to solve this issue? I have the same problem with HD 530. Only one monitor at the time works it can be DP or DVI-D or HDMI but no success with two.
 
I also need help with this. On my MB there are two HMDI outputs and one DVI. I cannot get the DVI to work.
