I'm pretty sure that Intel HD First Gen doesn't have that much VRAM. My Lenovo G560 has the exact same GPU and it displays 288mb as well.

 

Not a glitch, just the drivers and OS X's support. Not sure if you can do anything about it.

I installed the 1st generation intel video card on Yosemite following this guide (     %5BGUIDE%5D 1st Generation Intel HD Graphics QE/CI    ) i enabled CI and QE.  

 

I have 1969MB of VRAM, however, on "About this mac"is showing only 288mb, what should i do in order to use the 1969MB?

Re-read the guide

 

2) VRAM

 

This the amount of video ram that will appear in the About This Mac information. This is only cosmetic so this won't change the actual VRAM that OS X is allowed to use. VRAM,totalsize is written in hexadecimal format and the value that it represents is 288MB. You can copy and paste this code onto your DSDT:

"VRAM,totalsize",
Buffer ()
{
0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x12
},

If your video card works with full graphic acceleration QE / CI, then the values are only cosmetic.... but if should work without graphic acceleration, then you have to work on it.

I got it. Thank you.

 

In the DVD player all features are enabled. However all the programs that uses OpenGL don't work, everything is rendered by software.

 

Example: CInebench said: "There was an error in the OpenGL Reference image test". Is possible to fix something related with OpenGL?
