[solved] HD 5500 Only Has 7MB VRAM & Extreme Screen Tearing

[thor780]

Hello,

My laptop has some extreme screen tearing when I boot (using Clover) with only Inject Intel, however when I use inject Nvidia and nv_disable=1 in the boot flags it works with only 7MB of VRAM and uses the HD 5500. Here is my config.plist that boots correctly.

nvidia optimus is not supported, only your intel graphics will will work:

When I set Intel to true and Nvidia to false there is major screen tearing, which doesn't happen with the config.plist like this.

Set Inject Nvidia to false, set Inject Intel to true, use ig-platform-id 0x16260006 and apply this kext patch:
Name: AppleIntelBDWGraphicsFramebuffer
Find: 00002002 00005001
Replace: 00003001 00009000
Then rebuild the kext cache and reboot normally.

Sorry I'm fairly new to this. How do I find and replace those two strings?

EFI/CLOVER/config.plist. Edit this file using PlistEdit Pro or Clover Configurator.
They are in config.plist/Graphics and config.plist/KernelAndKextPatches/KextsToPatch.
They should look like this.

I did this, it booted with the extreme screen tearing, reverted back to old config.plist to get back into Sierra.

EDIT: Added the edit config.plist that booted with screen tearing (Named config2.plist so I know which is which)
