you may have to inject your EDID to get the correct colours

may have to add the property:
AAPL00,override-no-connect
into PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0)

this may help:

Not sure I know how. I generated the EDID using Hackintool. Use it like the attached screen capture?

Edit: I see a change in IORegistry, but no change in colors.

I got it working. Full acceleration and colors. I had to configure the connectors per attached screen capture. Thank your for your help.

nice! well done!

Thank your for your help.

What you can do in post #1 of this thread is write a short summary for others to see there. You can put a picuture and a link to one of these HP G3s on Amazon and then it will qualify as a User Build. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09D42KF3N/?tag=tonymacx86com-20 People will need this to know that the i5-7500 or better Kaby Lake CPU is required to get Ventura supported HD630 graphics on the chip. Skylake i5s and i7s don't have HD630 iGPU. I know that spoofing is possible but having a KL CPU makes it less complicated.

At a low price of $147 this is a perfect entry level build for Ventura. Dual boot with Windows will work too.

I'll move it to User Builds once you feel that it's ready. If you need any removal of posts not relevant to the install just let me know. Take as much time as you need as in all things hackintosh related, slow and steady wins the race.

I got a DP-Dp connector and used my 2K monitor to test. Same result. There seems to be some acceleration because I can rotate the Chess board smoothly, but dock is not transparent, and it takes (literally) seconds to minimize/maximize Safari window and the animation is slooow. However, dragging windows on the desktop is pretty snappy. The colors are still wrong. I attached my EFI file, screen captures of the Graphics/Display windows with both monitor connections. I also attached IORegistry. Not sure what to look in there for.

Edit: I took a picture of the screen with wrong colors with my phone. When I attached it I see that the colors on the icon on my screen are correct.

I really appreciate your help @Feartech @trs96. Thank you. It seems so close.

The only other unresolved issue are POST error (005) which is a minor inconvenience and sleep, with which I could live with.

Thanks for this! I was able to repro through this EFI and got the same behavior on same machine as you got. Was the only change from here to get full acceleration and the RGB fix the PCIRoot config you updated by “configur[ing] the connectors” per your latest image?

Yes, that did it. On my G4 mini I did not need anything else except the recommended frame-buffer.

Is there any cache I need to update after adding those props to config file and rebooting? I updated, but am seeming to get same results.


The values in IORegistry seem to match up with the values in your screenshot and the ones I added to my config as well.

 

[taskrov]

I did not, but you can learn from/use the attached EFI. I used SDTTime to generate the .aml and OC patch files and USBToolBox to make my USB mapping.

@trs96 I would write a summary of what I did, but I would not call this a total success. I finally gave up and returned the system. Perhaps the title should be changed to "partial success."

Install Ventura on the HP ProDesk 600 G3​

You did successfully install Ventura. So it qualifies. Some people don't use sleep at all so that doesn't matter to them. The RTC error is not a big deal for those that don't reboot frequently. I'd call it a success. I don't really see any other guides for this HP model here so it might be worth a brief write up so you can share what you discovered. It probably won't get golden build status but no one expects that. As a User Build it's worthwhile. You can write a note about the G4/G5 minis probably being the better choice for a completely working pre-built.
