When I set the boot option to native (no hybrid, no CSM), clover starts the boot menu at full resolution of 1920x1080, however when system boots up to login screen, it becomes distorted. This issue was reported in other threads and the solution there was to add the fixes below to boot.plist - however in my case this does not work. I also changed the graphics card RAM size in Bios without any luck. Is there a new fix for this?

Code:
            <dict>                <key>Name</key>
                <string>IOGraphicsFamily</string>
                <key>Find</key>
                <data>
                AQAAdRc=
                </data>
                <key>Replace</key>
                <data>
                AQAAdBc=
                </data>
                <key>Comment</key>
                <string>Second Stage patch 10.11</string>
            </dict>

My install is a default HP-CE Install, except changing back to OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi:

That patch is only for the momentary "glitch" that happens mid-way through the boot process. It does nothing for any kind of graphics issue you may have after booting.

Enable CSM in BIOS.
 
... How can I check QE/CI when the screen is distorted?

Boot with config.plist/Graphics/Inject/Intel=false. Enable screen sharing. Take note of VNC address. Boot with Inject/Intel=true. Connect via VNC from another computer. Collect ioreg....

Note: HDMI monitor may work too.

Post ioreg: http://www.tonymacx86.com/audio/58368-guide-how-make-copy-ioreg.html. Please, use the IORegistryExplorer v2.1 attached to the post! DO NOT reply with an ioreg from any other version of IORegistryExplorer.app.

Thanks
PS: The workaround of setting a (lower) display resolution in plist.conf seems to workaround the issue.
 
IOReg with distorted screen:

Looks normal, but without EFI/Clover folder, I cannot tell which PNLF patch you have.
A photo of the resulting screen might help too.

IOReg without InjectIntel (no QE/CI):[/quote]

QE/CI not expected to work without Inject/Intel=true.

+ screen shot of verbose boot with errors for that case:

Normal/expected.

Typical.

It can also be related to "Fast boot" (it should be disabled).

It's the untouched CLOVER from the HP post installer (Version 6.4.2 (September 14th 2015)), except that I changed to OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi per your advice.

Let me know if you want me to re-upload that.

Jep I understand. Let me double check fast boot.
 
You did not. This EFI is using OsxAptioFix2.

Well my point was, that the uploaded EFI directory is not reflecting this change. Or where did you get the information from? :problem:

Posting a EFI/Clover folder that you're NOT using is not helpful.

The config.plist is created from a bugged PBI CE. Please remove Screen Resolution in GUI section of config.plist. It's not needed in 1600x900+ screen.

EDIT: Look like it's not related to your problem. Can you take a screenshot of garbled screen?

So you have to set 1024x768 in config.plist or enable CSM to fix the garbled screen?
