:excl: This guide is currently undergoing a major change. Will take a few days to finish everything. If things are broken or messy, sorry for the inconvenience. :rolleyes:

:excl: This guide was made for users who have a computer with a 2010 1st Generation Intel Core i Series processors with Intel HD Graphics. Check your computer before proceeding.

This guide is an all in one place to find information about your computer with a 2010 1st Generation Intel Core i Series processors with Intel HD Graphics. This guide focuses on OS X, Apple's most advanced desktop operating system.

Before we begin, I want to give all credit to iWin32, RemC, Mehdymehdy, Verteks, mnorthern, and voidRunner from the InsanelyMac community, and Orlian, dmazar, Slice for their discoveries as well as all of the InsanelyMac community members who continue to tinker around and helping the community out to make our affordable Macs (well in our community we call them hackintoshes) fun and stable to use.

If you are interested in installing OS X on your PC (the world apparently uses the term "PC" to stands for Windows computers) because your tired of Microsoft and Windows or because you want to experience Apple's most advanced and clean operating system, then look around the InsanelyMac forums for guides and ask questions. Come back here to read this guide when your computer has everything working on OS X except for the Intel HD Graphics IGPU.

IGPU: Integrated Graphics Processing Unit. Your 2010 Intel Core i Series processor contains an IGPU called Intel HD Graphics.

The primary purpose of this guide is to help you to enable the Intel HD Graphics IGPU. Again, this guide is only for computers with a 2010 Intel Core i Series processors.

In 2010, Intel released its 1st Generation Intel Core i Series processors with Intel HD Graphics (codenamed Arrandale for laptops and Clarkdale for desktops). Apple later in mid 2010 released MacBook Pros with these processors that included the Intel HD Graphics IGPU and a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce 320M or NVIDIA GeForce GT330M graphics card. These MacBook Pros included a device called GMUX which allows OS X to switch between the power efficient Intel HD Graphics IGPU or the powerful NVIDIA graphics card.

PCs do not have a GMUX device, which means that if your computer has a dedicated graphics card (ATI Radeon or NVIDIA GeForce) you will not be able to switch to it on OS X. You will only be able to use the Intel HD Graphics IGPU. Check your BIOS settings to see if it has the ability to disable the IGPU.

GMUX: A device on MacBook Pros that helps OS X switch from the dedicated graphics card to the IGPU and vice versa.

For computers that only have the Intel HD Graphics IGPU, it is important to enable it on OS X so that you can utilize its full potential when working with hardware accelerated applications. Keep in mind that a dedicated graphics card will always have a better performance than an IGPU. For the average user, the Intel HD Graphics IGPU is sufficient.

In order to get the best experience in OS X, it is important to enable the Intel HD Graphics IGPU. Without the IGPU working, everything will be software accelerated, which means that everything that requires hardware acceleration will put complete stress to the CPU and cause your computer to run slow.

There are two technologies in OS X called Quartz Extreme and Core Image. To make things simple, Quartz Extreme accelerates the overall desktop experience, so that means that animations, games, and hardware accelerated applications will be rendered by the IGPU. Core Image on the other hand accelerates image processing which also is rendered by IGPU.

The Intel HD Graphics IGPU is fully compatible with Quartz Extreme and Core Image. However, because of some differences between computers, not everyone can enable Quartz Extreme. Look in the Hardware Requirements section for more details.

Apple calls OS X as the world's most advanced desktop operating system. Not only is it advanced, but its clean and beautiful. By enabling Quartz Extreme and Core Image, the Intel HD Graphics IGPU will run at its fullest potential, making OS X run smoother and faster. With QE/CI enabled, a wide range of applications are available to install and use.

This guide currently supports OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3.

1. 2010 1st Generation Intel Core i Series processor (Core i3, Core i5, Core i7)
2. 2010 1st Generation Intel HD Graphics IGPU (Already integrated with 2010 Intel Core i Series processors)
3. Minimum of 2GB of RAM
4. Minimum of 8GB hard drive space
5. OS X compatible webcam for FaceTime and Photo Booth
6. OS X compatible external or built-in microphone for Dictation

:excl: If your not sure if you have 1st Generation Intel HD Graphics IGPU, go to System Information and click on "Graphics/Displays". In Device ID, it should either say 0x0046 or 0x0042. If it's completely different, then this guide is not compatible with your computer.

All computers are able to enable Core Image. However, Quartz Extreme does not work for all computers due do a difference in internal display connections.

Core Image Requirements (CI):

1. Internal LCD uses the eDP or LVDS connection

Quartz Extreme Requirements (QE):

1. Internal LCD uses the LVDS connection

If your computer uses the LVDS connection, then you can enable Quartz Extreme with Core Image (QE/CI). If your computer uses the eDP connection, you can only enable Core Image (CI) at this time.

For computers that use the eDP connection, follow the steps in Enable Only Core Image (CI) section. For computers that use the LVDS connection, follow the steps in Enable Quartz Extreme with Core Image (QE/CI) section.

If you notice, there is a folder called "Choose Framebuffer". In here, you will select a framebuffer to install that you feel is right for your computer. I have prepatched these for you so all you have to do is install them with the other Intel HD Graphics kexts. If you prefer to patch your own framebuffer, use Vertek's Framebuffer patcher. It's already included in the ZIP file and instructions are provided.
Posted Image
SingleLink: Choose a SingleLink framebuffer if your computer's native resolution is 1366x768 or lower.

DualLink: Choose a DualLink framebuffer if your computer's native resolution is higher than 1366x768.

Alternate: An alternative framebuffer has all the plist values set to zero. Some computers may need to use an alternate framebuffer if the computer freezes with the normal framebuffer.

Alternative 2: An alternate 2 framebuffer has all the plist values set to zero and a slightly modified IOPCIClassMatch code. Some computers may need to use an alternate framebuffer 2 if the computer freezes with the normal and alternative framebuffers.

:excl: If for some reason your computer never boots to the desktop when trying all these framebuffers (spinning wheel spins forever in boot screen), then you may need to install Natit kext. This usually happens when the OS-Info from the framebuffer fails to inject itself. An alternate approach is to inject the OS-Info in the DSDT. More information in the Extras and Hacks section.

:excl: If you have tried all framebuffers and the computer continues to get stuck in a white screen, then you may have an eDP display and not an LVDS display. In some unfortunate circumstances, the LCD may not be transmitting its EDID to the framebuffer either.

3. Install these kexts with Kext Utility or some other kext installer. Rebuild cache and restart your computer.
Posted Image
4. When you log into the desktop, you will see that your computer's native resolution is already working. You will also see a transparent menubar.

If you still want to confirm that you officially have QE/CI working, open DVD Player, click on the "Help" menu and click on "Show Supported Features".

:excl: This section contains information that may make your OS X experience better when using the Intel HD Graphics IGPU. Again, this section is optional.

1. Natit

Sometimes, if a computer does not have Natit installed, the framebuffer will make OS X not boot to the desktop. In other words, the spinning wheel will spin forever and you will be stuck in the boot screen forever. This usually happens when the OS-Info from the framebuffer fails to inject itself.

Natit will also add Intel HD Graphics information to your System Infomation>Graphics/Display section. This is useful for users that still have an "Unknown" graphics name in About This Mac and System Information. Click on the image below to download.

Install this kexts with Kext Utility or some other kext installer. Rebuild cache and restart your computer.

2. Native Resolution on Boot, Bootloader Screen, and Desktop using Chameleon
(Discovered by iWin32 and RemC)

:excl: The Intel HD Graphics framebuffer will automatically detect your computer's native resolution when you boot into the desktop. This is only useful if you want to have a native resolution on the bootloader screen and on boot using Chameleon.

:excl: Clover also achieves the same effect without the need of this module and patches the vBIOS automatically.

Please follow iWin32 and RemC's thread for their work and any questions you have regarding the Resolution.dylib module.

http://www.insanelym...6-and-00468086/

Computer Requirements:

1. OS X Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion
2. 2010 1st Generation Intel HD Graphics IGPU (Already integrated with 2010 Intel Core i Series processors)
3. Chameleon Bootloader (Your version of Chameleon must support modules. You can use Chameleon Wizard to install the latest release.)
4. Resolution.dylib module (Download the attached Resolution Module ZIP file.)

Steps:

1. Open Finder and go to your Extra folder. Open the org.Chameleon.Boot.plist with TextEdit. Add the following code:

<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1366x768x32</string> (EDIT THIS STRING TO YOUR NATIVE RESOLUTION)

Posted Image
2. In the Extra folder, create a folder called "Modules".
Posted Image
3. Download the attached Resolution Module ZIP file below if you haven't yet. Next extract the ZIP file and inside the folder there should be a "Resolution.dylib" file. Drag that file to the Modules folder you created in the Extra folder.
Posted Image
4. Restart your computer. When the Chameleon Bootloader shows up, the resolution you added in the org.Chameleon.Boot.plist should already start working. Continue to boot into OS X and the Apple boot screen will also be at that resolution.

3. Backlight and Brightness
(Discovered by mnorthern)

Please read and follow mnorthern's thread for his work as well as any questions regarding the backlight and brightness fix for Intel HD Graphics IGPU.

http://www.insanelym...hd-gma-5700mhd/

4. Improve Core Image Performance
(Discovered by voidRunner)

:excl: This applies to users that cannot enable Quartz Extreme. If you only have only Core Image working, you might be interested in improving its performance.

Please read and follow voidRunner's thread for his guide on how to improve the performance of Core Image as well as any questions regarding his guide.

http://www.insanelym...mebuffer-howto/

5. Power Management

:excl: This applies to users that use Chameleon Bootloader.

If you have enabled only Core Image or if you enabled Quartz Extreme with Core Image, it is important to have power management working correctly. If you don't then the computer will overheat and possibly turn off without warning.

Computers that have a 2010 1st Generation Intel Core i Series processor (Core i3, Core i5, Core i7) are able to natively use the AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext without any problem.

:excl: Before proceeding, make sure you are not using NullCPUPowerManagement.kext. If you are using it, delete it and rebuild cache.

Steps:

1. Open Finder and go to your Extra folder. Open the org.Chameleon.Boot.plist with TextEdit. Add the following code:

<key>GenerateCStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GeneratePStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>

Posted Image
2. Restart your computer. Boot into OS X and native power management should now start working. You can check CPU temperature and SpeedStep processor speeds using HWMonitor.

Posted Image
*HWMonitor requires certain sensor kexts to function. All information can be found in the InsanelyMac forums.

1. I have Intel HD Graphics on my computer. Will this guide work for me?

This guide was written specifically for users that have a 2010 Intel Core i Series processor (Core i3, Core i5, Core i7) with Intel HD Graphics. To be more exact, you need an Arrandale processor. If you have a Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge processor, it is not supported here.

2. Why should I enable Core Image? Why should I enable Quartz Extreme?

If you run OS X without Core Image and/or Quartz Extreme, then it will be a slow experience and the Intel HD Graphics IGPU will not be put to good use. Even if your internal LCD is using the eDP connection, it is important to enable Core Image as it will make the Intel HD Graphics IGPU partially work.

3. I installed the Intel HD Graphics QE/CI kexts. When I boot, the spinning wheel stops spinning. Why?

The problem here is that you most likely chose the wrong framebuffer. On some computers, you only need the regular framebuffer. On other computers however you need to use the Alternate or Alternate 2 framebuffers. If you run into trouble, boot into Safe Mode and delete the framebuffer. Then install another framebuffer.

4. I installed the Intel HD Graphics QE/CI kexts. When I boot, the spinning wheel spins forever. Why?

This usually happens when the framebuffer fails to inject the os-info automatically. To prevent this, install Natit.kext or inject this information into your DSDT.

5.  I installed the Intel HD Graphics QE/CI kexts. When I boot, the internal display turns off, there is only backlight, or white screen. Why?

If your Internal LCD is using the eDP connection, this will happen. Currently, there is no fix for eDP users at this time.

6. QE/CI is working but in About This Mac and System Information, it says Graphics Unknown and 64 MB. Why?

This happens when OS X fails to get the proper information for the Intel HD Graphics IGPU. This should not affect the performance because this information is only cosmetic. You can either fix this by installing Natit.kext or you inject this information into your DSDT.

7. I connected a VGA display or HDMI display into the port. Why aren't they working?

This is a known problem. This problem is related to the framebuffer. To fix this, the AppleIntelHDGraphicsFB.kext needs to be hacked but the values where these connections are located are unknown. Users of Intel HD Graphics 3000 or 4000 however have found these values. Anybody want to explore?

8. Ever since I enabled QE/CI, my computer is heating up. Why?

Now that the Intel HD Graphics IGPU is working, it will make your computer temperature rise slightly but this is normal. However, if you currently don't have native power management working, then your computer will overheat and turn off. Read #5 in Extras (Optional) section to enable power management. An alternative would be to create a custom SSDT.

9. Sometimes my computer makes this chirping or weird sound when using the Intel HD Graphics IGPU. Why?

It has nothing to do with the IGPU. This sound comes from your internal speakers. Caused by VoodooHDA or AppleHDA kexts.



Guide Version History:
2.0

Glad this guide helped you. :) I've seen in other places where users ask questions on how to do this or that and I decided put all of that information here. Any other discoveries, suggestions, are always welcome.

Remember the line "Once you go Mac, you never go back?" I've have not dual booted to Windows 8 ever since I did all of the things in this guide lol. There are more problems in native Windows than in a hacked OS X. :P

Hello,
For what OS version will these driver be working?
I got the arrandale / intel integrated / Radeon HD5000 (ATI Madison) in my HP dv7-4177 and would like mountain lion on it.
Install disk don't even boot.. :(
What's possible to do ? i used myhack to put the retail install on a usb stick.
thanks for any help, maybe just a link, one of you propably felt onto a "local apic KP" as i do, whatever the parameter i enter on chameleon?
Thanks to save me time, i suspect some myhack parameters to be able to solve my problem, but i don't find which!

the only way I can think of is by editing DSDT.aml that's if you can get the right set of numbers which enables hdmi. hdmi and vga should be enabled through appleintelhdgraphicsFB.kext since that doesn't work. there is 2 options one is for a group of developers to work on another module which enables that just like how resolution was enabled. or through editing DSDT.   for me i'm done with intelhdgraphics. because last night in a process of fixing my laptop's power jack something went wrong and a power surge burnt my motherboard. so my intelhdgraphic adventure time is over. hope u guys have more success :D

Launchpad will lag even if we have Core Image. This is because Quartz Extreme is not enabled. QE is used to smooth out the animations. Think of Core Image as the bread of the cake and Quartz Extreme as the icing on the cake. As of now there isn't a solution to enable it. However it's better than nothing.

As for your unrecognized graphics chip, you will probably need to inject that infromation to the DSDT. I don't really have time to write out how to do it but I will later on in the future and add it in this guide. Of course there are threads and tutorials around the Insanelymac community to get you started. :)

Actualy, i thought someone had already discovered this,hence i never posted about it, :(.

To go a step further if you add the hdframebuffer kext you will get a blackscreen or even grey depending on which AAPP-OS-INFO you use.I just used natit.kext to inject mine

Upon connecting via vnc you will realize that there is qe/ci, well to be more precise translucent menu bar.

But the problem is getting it to output to the internal LCD.



To be very clear,if you add the kext i have attached i'm 90% sure you will get a black/grey screen with backlight or even a kernel panic.

You will only be able to access you desktop via VNC, meaning you will have to enable screen sharing in advance,and know your ip adress.

in order for you to access you desktop via another machine with VNC client.


Side Note

If i boot from bios with an external display hooked up to vga it will result in an immediate restart after the frambuffer kext loads.
However if i plug in the external screen after the bootloader has loaded i get a fuzzy somewhat unusable screen.

I have an i5-430 cpu @2.66 w/hm57 chipset running only intel hd graphics  it is a Dell 17R n7010 laptop.  Currently i am running at 1440x900 graphics on ML 10.8.2  
i was following the initial work of Rem and got it to work with the modules edit.  What I just realized is that one of the reasons for this working was the fact that I had an external monitor connected to my laptop.  If I remove it, it goes back to 1024x768.  i will try the new kexts and see if this changes.
