Congrats!

How did you get iBooks working?

Thanks!

I detailed how to get iBooks and Quick Sync working in post #448.

pastrychef, do you use your GENE system as a work system? If so, what apps are driving you system requirements. TIA.

 

[pastrychef]

No, it's not a work computer. Just my main at home. Standard home use with a bit of light Photoshop work and lots of media consumption.

OK, so, you are using the 530 graphics and not the 1080?

No. I'm using GTX 1080 but HD 530 is enabled. No monitor is connected to the HD 530.

No. I'm using GTX 1080 but HD 530 is enabled. No monitor is connected to the HD 530.

Interesting, I was told that couldn't be done and actually causes system instability/performance problems...

Are you doing the InjectIntel, ig-platform-id, and so on as per the usual enabling of onboard Intel graphics?

Yes, it's all detailed in post #448.

Well, I'm going to have to give this a shot then - seems reasonable to me!!!

I wonder if that will solve some HDCP issues, among other things...

 

[pastrychef]

HDCP is something I never got around to testing. If you wish to try resolving that, here's a good place to start:

I have iTunes working - 'tis Amazon that's giving me a bit of an issue. Of course, there's no way to determine what the exact issue is at all...
