Enable intel HD 4000 full QE/CI

[The_Village_Idiot]

Motherboard is Asus P8H77 M-LE with i7-3770. ML 10.8.4 on latest Chameleon Release, SMBios 6,2.

I have been through a lot of tutorials from this site and others on how to enable QE/CI on intel hd 4000 graphics card.

 

1. tried the AAPL inject method as mentioned from the first page of this website - no go

2. tried the already identified hex strings from this and other sites - no go

3. tried generating my own hex string using gfxutil - no go

4. DSDT patching - i can't make head and tails of what i'm doing, so that's a no go also.

 

I am attaching a DSDT which was extracted from my Windows 7 installation as per tutorials, if that helps.

 

what I have noticed was that the device ID was changing from 166 to 162 (should be 162 as reported by device manager in Windows).

Thanks for this, I'll give it a go when later today.

 

As an aside, I think the AppleIntelFramebufferCapri.kext (and all intel graphics kexts) was having some conflict and not loaded. I removed temporarily the Capri.kext last night and will take a look if my device ID is included in that (tried so many kexts so it's messed up).

Gives my  a report if its work or not  

[The_Village_Idiot]

Gives my  a report if its work or not  

still no go. i installed the chameleon version you have given, and modified my org.chameleon. as suggested.

 

i have noticed that the intel kexts are loaded anyway:

I can't find the entry for the AISNBGraphics.kext though.

[chris1111]

 try with the aapl ig platform id  

 number 0 to 9

 

  delete the string and device propertie

 and ad this  on your boot plist 

 

 

<key>HD4000PlatformId</key>

<string>5</string>

 

 

 try to find the right number  0 to 9 

 

 used the same bootloader 

[The_Village_Idiot]

After several tries (hours) this problem is simply not going away. Now even my AppleIntelFramebufferCapri.kext is not being loaded. I have tried to remove, reinstall, repair the caches, etc, my screen goes blank showing the activity of the pc in text format instead.

 

Downloaded some untouched intelHD.kext from osx86, does not work also. For now, what seems to be loaded is the HD4000.kext only.

 

as a last attempt, i even installed the latest Chimera which almost broke my usb ports and had to reset the BIOS to default.

 

Any other ideas that i can try?

[chris1111]

are you on HDMI or DVI because VGA not working 

[The_Village_Idiot]

I am on DVI. even hooked up HDMI too for double checking :-)

[The_Village_Idiot]

I corrupted my IntelAppleFramebufferCapri.kext, anybody has a working one? I know it's being loaded as I can see the text activity on the screen on both HDMI and DVI monitors.

[chris1111]

here ML 10.8.4

[The_Village_Idiot]

Thanks for the file. Apparently, it exhibits the same behavior as my other kexts. There must be an issue with my installation. It conflicts with AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB.kext, loads the screen but mouse is frozen.

 

I will do a fresh install sometime tomorrow and will update how i get on with it.

[The_Village_Idiot]

Update:

 

1. Reformatted, reinstalled then re-applied kexts, full resolution at 1920x1080. All graphics related kexts loads without a problem, still no qe/ci.

2. Re-applied the bootloader mentioned above, results in the screen going blank. Same with latest chameleon release.

 

Plan: reinstall again (i'll take note of the chameleon version) and apply the EFI string if that solves me issue.

[chris1111]

didi you try all number aapl-ig platform id  ?

[The_Village_Idiot]

yeps, tried them all :-)

Just an hour back, i again reinstalled 10.8.4. booting with chameleon svn 2.2/2235 which came with the usb installer works fine. updated all drivers and kexts, got full resolution but without QE/CI. Once i install the bootloader using the same exact svn and version number to the MBR, then the screen goes blank.

 

i may have to wait for an oppurtunity to get another HDD to try it on some other day.

 

thank you very much for your time and help, i'll surely come back with a vengeance :-)

[The_Village_Idiot]

Partly, same symptoms http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/288710-cant-boot-with-recent-versions-of-chameleon/

Any solutions other than keep on booting from a USB stick?

[The_Village_Idiot]

Update:

I have reinstalled on a separate hardisk, booting off chameleon latest 2262. using graphics-id no 5 (162/5 for desktop) i have a semblance of the desktop being loaded as the screen flashes with the desktop then goes back to the prompt. 

 

doing a kextstat, i found out that AGPM does not get loaded, same as the topic http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/281405-applegraphicspowermanagementkext-not-loading/

 

any advice on what i should do now? will installing latest chimera solve the issue?

i am on smbios 6,2 macmini as i think that is the best possible approximate compatible specs for this desktop (i am open for suggestions, too).

[The_Village_Idiot]

started fresh using pandora to make a fresh install, same issues with graphics.

[chris1111]

What is the  Internal Graphics memory setting in your bios  ?? take a look on this folder 

This is the firts technics but can be works for you 

 

[The_Village_Idiot]

i've set the video memory to 32/64/96 all the same result.

 

i will try yet another fresh install today (yes, i have that much time in my hands when i'm at home, lol) just to avoid the complexities of a 'dirty' filesystem.

[The_Village_Idiot]

I know people must be getting tired of my rants here.

1. Reinstalled 10.8.4

2. Used Pandora post installer and used enoch bootloader

3. created my org.chameleon.Boot.plist
4. created smbios for iMac 13,1
5. installed graphics driver
6. edited AGPM to match my iGPU

 

I GOT QE/CI!!! sound, network, and my usb3 external hdd is recognized properly!

now, how do I test if i really get all the performance i should be compared to my fully setup windows 7 OS?

I have seen that darwin dumper has generated SSDT, etc when it made its report, can I use that?

Hello! Congratulations! Can you help me to edit the AGPM for this video card?

I have QE/CI but my mouse pointer disappears few seconds after log, but if I zoom it appears.

 

Thank you!!
