lubeats Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) I want to know How to get the VGA and HDMI output on the Lenovo Z70-80 laptop with Core i7-5500, my graphics card is Intel HD Graphics 5500 with macOS HS 10.13.6 I read several guides to do it, but it's for Intel HD Graphics 3000 and I tried to do it for my graphics card, looking for similar values and replace them. Where we should patch the AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB.kext file A few small examples are here 01 02 03 In another site I found a different file to patch that is AppleIntelFramebufferCapri.kext, and I searched and replaced the values and tried it with my macOS but nothing. This guide here And finally I tried this KextsToPatch in my config.plist file Name: AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB Find: 01020400100700001007000005030000020000003000000002020500000004000007000000030400000004000009000000040600000004000009000000 Replace: 01020300100700001007000005030000020000003000000006020000020000003000000002050000000800000700000000000000000000000000000000 commentary: HDMI + VGA But nothing again ... In my long adventure to try to make it work, I found different config.plist files to fix the functionality of my Intel HD 5500 graphics card, and I tried differents KextToPatch values, and with a bit of luck I found these values Name: com.apple.driver.AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy Search: BA050000 00 Replace: BA000000 00 Comment: prevent AGDP from loading With the above values I can sync VGA & HDMI output automatically VGA: In my ViewSonic VX1945wm with 1440 x 900 res HDMI: In Samsung TV UN32EH4500G with 1366 x 768 res (the worse resolution) and when I try to change to full HD I can but it has unfocused image, out of frame and with sound without volume control. My TV is full HD native. Please I need support from someone who could help me to fix this. Thanks in advance. PD. I attached my config.plist file and pictures config.plist.zip Edited September 2, 2018 by lubeats more info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lubeats Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) Hi Hervé, Capri framebuffer kext is for IvyBridge HD4000 iGPUs Azul framebuffer kext is for Haswell HD4200/4400/4600/etc. iGPUs BDW framebuffer kext is for Broadwell HD5500/etc. iGPUs SKL framebuffer kext is for Skylake iGPUs and so on... I didn't know about this info and I have don't remember read this info before in any site, but big thanks for this. Hervé, Did You remember that I wrote that with this KextsToPatch Name: com.apple.driver.AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy Search: BA050000 00 Replace: BA000000 00 Comment: prevent AGDP from loading I had VGA & HDMI output without problem. So, I started to do many changes one by one. First. - Update my SMBIOS to MacBookPro12,1 and disabled the KextsToPatch above. Surprise, I had the same functionality as I had before with KextsToPatch but with this info into AppleIntelBDWGraphicsFramebuffer 06002616 01030303 // layout 0x16260006, 3 x display ports 00000800 02000000 30020000 // FB@0, port #0, LVDS (connector-type 0200 0000) 01050B00 00040000 07050000 // FB@1, port #5, DP (connector-type 0004 0000) 02040B00 00040000 07050000 // FB@2, port #6, DP (connector-type 0004 0000) When I connected my VGA Display, it taken port #6, DP (connector-type 0004 0000) and when I connected my HDMI TV, it taken port #5, DP (connector-type 0004 0000) Second: - Deleted several lines of KextsToPatch. I deleted in special the AppleIntelBDWGraphicsFramebuffer because I unlocked my UEFI BIOS last year and I can change my dvmt manually and that KextsToPatch was in vain. Third: - I patched my AppleIntelBDWGraphicsFramebuffer.kext and replaced in S/L/E Rebooted and after that the current config is 06002616 01030303 // layout 0x16260006, 3 x display ports 00000800 02000000 30020000 // FB@0, port #0, LVDS (connector-type 0200 0000) 01050B00 00080000 07050000 // FB@1, port #5, DP (connector-type 0008 0000) 02040B00 00040000 07050000 // FB@2, port #6, DP (connector-type 0004 0000) To finish I tried VGA & HDMI and it works like a charm o better say with the same functionality as it made the KextsToPatch before, with audio but without volume control and with 1366x768 res default and when I change to full HD res, I lose the main menu in border. That's normal or maybe is possible to get the main menu border like my display laptop with full HD? Would be possible to get volume control with HDMI or that's impossible? I read in another site that is impossible but maybe someone knows like to do it work. Edited August 30, 2018 by lubeats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lubeats Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 Ok. Thanks for your confirmation. About the underscan setting on my TV, I didn't do it but I think that it hasn't that function. In my LCD monitor I had the same problem and I adjusted it with automatic size functions in the same display. I'll review my TV more late and I confirme You. Thanks for your support.

lubeats Posted September 1, 2018 Author Share Posted September 1, 2018 Hello @Hervé, like you told me, If I wanted to get full HD in my external display, I just had to change the setting into my display. I had not taken that point. Thanks. Maybe Could You help me with my other post? here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
