Biso007 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I guess I 'm able to tell the difference between VGA and DP ports Anyway, I was surprised too the 1st time I got the VGA output without any patching. I thought the VGA port has a DP-VGA converter wired on the motherboard However, if you need any other info I would be glad to help Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/310886-vga-on-hackintosh/page/2/#findComment-2217072 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micky1979 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Bro , now Hervé need a video with the running PC showing the monitor and the VGA connector, w/o without trimmed frames joke, but should be nice 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/310886-vga-on-hackintosh/page/2/#findComment-2217108 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biso007 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 The evidence is very simple You see that my external display is HP L1908w ... if you refer to its specs you will find it has only one connector which is VGA. As for the built-in display icon, I only used SMBIOS generator from Clover Configurator. If you have any propping script or debugging kext plz send it to me to run it and provide you with the output. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/310886-vga-on-hackintosh/page/2/#findComment-2217127 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosakgroove Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 Oh well, here I attach proof of VGA working on my ASUS X550LDV with a ancient Samsung 800x600 VGA TV. ç Here goes the ioreg as proof. I dont know why it works but it does. As a side note I have been trying HDMI audio patches and they havent been working, although I do get HDMI video working. Who said it couldn't be done? VGA working.zip Well, I only tried the "would-be" VGA connector types 1000/0100/0001 on existing connector numbers found in the vanilla Azul frame buffer (0105/0204/0306). I never tried a made-up connector number such as 0602 (or otherwise) for instance. Agreed, Haswell GPUs do support VGA, just not in OS X as far as I'm concerned. And I never even loaded a Linux OS to check the IOReg when VGA output was used. I'm sure that far more clever people than me would have found out by now if it were possible. Even if connector numbers that applied to SNB and Capri FB differ in Azul FB.

kosakgroove Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 I am using vanilla system kexts, unmodified, except for AppleHDA, i use hdmi 0212 clover patch from rehabman and only hdmi video works, not audio My Asus X550LDV has intel hd4400 and NVIDIA Geforce 820m disabled with acpi patches.

kosakgroove Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 But what about the VGA, I think we can claim it works in HD4400 right? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/310886-vga-on-hackintosh/page/2/#findComment-2233156 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosakgroove Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 Haha well yeah, and i would like to be able to help further the community by debugging why it works OOB with mine. Maybe then we can apply the knowledge to similar cards, just like your hd 4600 Enviado desde mi XT1068 mediante Tapatalk Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/310886-vga-on-hackintosh/page/2/#findComment-2233227 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosakgroove Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 HERE GOES MY Clover folder.. I belive IGPU is defined somewhere in SSDT10- 12 and in DSDT as well.

mssmison Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Did anyone get anywhere with figuring out why this works? I've come across an HD4000 based device on another forum that claims to have working VGA in el cap as well.\ On my system I'm able to get the VGA monitor detected, but there is no picture on the display.

b0fh Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 What are you using to activate it? something in your config or dsdt? nothing at all, it just works. i suspect it may not be a 'real' VGA port but some internal hack that clones/converts the signal from displayPort... just speculation of course. not complaining tough DP out in this laptop is in a horrid location, rear-right corner interfering BADLY with mouse usage (other ports that side as well like power/ethernet and 2 USB , but oh well at least ethernet and pwr are further to the back. VGA is in the middle of the left side, a perfect location to attach such a cable. It's even surprising that this zbook has the VGA anyway, as it is one of those 'slim' ones that huge connector spreads across the whole height and looks weird Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/310886-vga-on-hackintosh/page/2/#findComment-2240360 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trupetiago Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 My laptop HP Elitebook 840 has Haswell HD4400 integrated and VGA works fine. #######. Yesterday the VGA out of HP Elitebook 840 G1 worked perfect with all extend, mirror, change resolution, screen position after i installed macOS Sierra. But it worked once. I'm 5 hours trying to make it work again and the closer i got was get the laptop screen blinking when i push 'Detect Display' button when the VGA is connected. Could you please help me get it stable? Its a i5-4310m with Intel 4400 and 1600x900 native res.

Do you have Windows on this laptop ? .. if yes and the VGA port works then it's something with your macOS part. If no then something happened to the VGA port itself. I have mine still working with High Sierra now.

Gen_ Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Let's just clear this up because it appears this thread hasn't been seen to by the people that made the whole 'VGA is unsupported' statement all that time ago: It was T who shall not be named. Considering the fact that they are quite reliant on ad revenue from actual hardware manufacturers (what do you think Customac guides was charity?), removing VGA as an option essentially ensures that you do not have to support anyone who hasn't got a new screen.... chances are they don't have a new computer either. Cue Custo-recommendation. VGA WORKS on most setups, sometimes you need to add an NVCAP value that includes an analog output to the plist in order to get it to work. Doesn't seem to matter that NVCAP is for Nvidia cards. What it doesn't seem to work with is multiple displays, VGA+Digital and VGA+VGA. Unsupported GPUs I have personally got VGA working with on HS: HD530, HD4400, GTX970, GTX560Ti, GTX550Ti, GT240, HD6670, HD6450 (XFX, which is bad for Hacks and needed DSDT edits). The vast majority work first time, but immediately black out on boot if a digital display is connected simultaneously. I believe this is DSDT fixable and relates to connector values, but as already mentioned because there are no VGA macs, we would need ReactOS levels of reverse engineering to do it in any other way than trial and error.
