Sandbender Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) If anyone has time to help with my config I'd appreciate it. I have: macOS v10.14 i7 6700k - Gigabyte z170x UD5 - 64GB RAM (Using iMac 17,1 with 0x19120000) DVMT Set to 32MB & MAX 2K Monitor - HDMI (con1 - type 8) 4K Monitor - DP (con3 - type 4) Lilu 1.2.7 Debug - WhateverGreen 1.2.3 Debug (Note I had a Nvidia 1070 installed but pulled it and removed the web drivers) Issues: 1. With or without Framebuffer patching macOS only recognizes 5MB of framebuffer 2. Both monitors work but they're at 1920x1280 and mirrored (I suspect this is because of the Framebuffer size) 3. I can't get the Framebuffer to dump using (have tried -igfxfbdump and -igfxdump) Any suggestions? clover-sandbender-24Oct18B.zip weglog.txt Edited October 23, 2018 by Sandbender Removed bad device-id setting Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/334899-intel-framebuffer-patching-using-whatevergreen/page/9/#findComment-2642664 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either use the Framebuffer menu or dump your data using the appropriate WEG boot flags (as per instructions). In future please place your FB-Patcher related questions in the official thread.

proresettt Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) Hey everyone, hoping someone can help with this - I have been pulling my hair out for weeks trying to figure it out. I am building a video editing rig for a friend running High Sierra 10.13.6 with the following primary specs: Mobo: Asus Z370-A Prime CPU: Intel i7 8700k GPU: Nvidia 1070Ti The intention is for primary video out via the 1070TI (I now realise I should have gone ATI, but that is beside the point) with the onboard UHD 630 for compute tasks (aka quick sync). I have tried a whole lot of things to get the onboard UHD 630 working with quick sync to no avail. I have tried using the standard 10.13.6 build with a Mac18,3 SMBIOS and Clover Devices properties to set a Kaby Lake IGPU with platform-id 0x59120000, but whatever I try I get the following error during boot and the IGPU isn't recognised: [IGPU] Graphics driver failed to load: could not register with Framebuffer driver! I have currently got the IGPU half-working, in that it is recognised during boot and can be used for video output, by setting SMBIOS platform to MacbookPro15,1, installing Mac OS 10.13.6 (MacBookPro15 build 17G2208) and using platform-id 0x3E920007. Unfortunately when I check with VDADecoderChecker I get the following error: VDADecoderCreate failed. err: -12473 An error was returned by the decoder layer. This may happen for example because of bitstream/data errors during a decode operation. This error may also be returned from VDADecoderCreate when hardware decoder resources are available on the system but currently in use by another process. I would try with Mojave as I know it has better native support for the UHD 630 but the lack of Nvidia Cuda drivers is a dealbreaker just now. I have attached my current EFI folder (with some SMBIOS stuff stripped). I would definitely prefer to get this working with a faked Kaby Lake platform-id if I can, as then I would be able to use an iMac18,3 SMBIOS. I have also attached an IORegistry output. If anyone has any thoughts or comments they would be much appreciated, as I really want to get this finished so my friend can get to video editing! Thanks!

Andrey1970 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) @proresettt Use model iMac18,3. Delete Devices-Properties. Set Nvidia of the first in Bios. Set DVMT: 32MB. Set DVMT Total: Max. Build 17G2208 does not contain CFL framebuffer "0 connectors". You need to replace AppleIntelCFLGraphicsFramebuffer.kext on same from Mojave.

proresettt Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 @Andrey1970 Thanks so much! Using model iMac18,3 on a fresh install of 17G2208 and removing Device-Properties + replacing that Kext did the trick. Now I have both Nvidia and UHD 630 recognised with Quicksync support! Even sleep is working, which previously would always KP when trying to wake. Just one question - replacing the native kext by dropping the replacement into /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other didn't seem to work. I had to replace the native kext in /System/Library/Extensions and rebuild the kext cache (which is not ideal as it will probably get replaced by system updates). Is there a way to force macOS to preferentially load that kext from EFI rather than /S/L/E? If not then it's OK, I will just need to write a script for my friend that replaces that specific kext and rebuilds caches in the event he installs any macOS system updates that replace the Mojave kext. Thanks again - this has really been a rollercoaster of emotions repeatedly trying (and failing) to get it working.

isleeptill12 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Hope someone can help me out here. I have Mojave installed on a prebuilt HP desktop (Envy 750-177c) with i7-6700, 16GB ddr3, 120GB ssd, and intel HD 530 graphics. There is no way to adjust the DVMT settings in the BIOS, so I followed the guide here and was able to complete the install. The problem is I have no graphics acceleration at all. The UI is extremely buggy, sometimes I have to login from the apple loading screen then logout with the keyboard shortcut to even see the login screen. When I can enter my account, all the actions like launching an app from the dock and launchpad are not very smooth. I was able to get the weglog.txt and the appleintelframebuffer file, but I can't locate the IOReg file? I'll include my EFI as well.
