Alan Sojan Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 (edited) Hi, I successfully installed MacOS Monterey on my desktop but graphics acceleration isn't working.

miliuco Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 @Alan Sojan There are errors related to config.plist. Maybe not related to your graphic issue. Upload here the config.plist file saying the version of the bootloader (opencore or clover) you are using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In saying all that, that's possibly the cause of some of your problems. To fully aid you, you should zip your EFI Folder and upload it here so it can be looked at and correct any errors within.

Hey, thank you for the reply. Is there any way to update the bootloader or would I have to start over again fresh? EFI.zipThis is my EFI folder.

eSaF Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 @Alan Sojan Hi - I have updated your OC EFI Folder and kexts to the latest versions (attached) for you to try, but you have far too many Ethernet kext files i.e AtherosE2200.kext, IntelMausi.kext and RealtekRTL8111.kext. You need to pick just one that corresponds with your machine's WIFI/B/Tooth card to be able to have proper connection.

miliuco Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 @Alan Sojan Get the EFI uploaded by @eSaFÂ but I see that you don't have anything for the Intel HD 530 in config.plist >> DeviceProperties. Your iGPU needs code here to be well detected and installed. Change @eSaFÂ config.plist adding this in DeviceProperties: Â <key>DeviceProperties</key> <dict> <key>Add</key> <dict> <key>PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0)</key> <dict> <key>AAPL,ig-platform-id</key> <data>AAASGQ==</data> <key>device-id</key> <data>GxkAAA==</data> <key>device_type</key> <string>VGA compatible controller</string> <key>enable-hdmi20</key> <data>AQAAAA==</data> <key>force-online</key> <data>AQAAAA==</data> <key>framebuffer-fbmem</key> <data>AACQAA==</data> <key>framebuffer-patch-enable</key> <data>AQAAAA==</data> <key>framebuffer-stolenmem</key> <data>AAAwAQ==</data> <key>framebuffer-unifiedmem</key> <data>AAAAgA==</data> <key>hda-gfx</key> <string>onboard-1</string> <key>model</key> <string>Intel HD Graphics 530</string> <key>rps-control</key> <data>AQAAAA==</data> </dict> </dict> It looks like this in the plist editor: Â Â Try and comment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eSaF Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 (edited) @Alan Sojan Ok, try this revised EFI and see. PS - You'll have to put your ethernet kext in the kext folder and make an entry in the config.plist. EFI.zip Edited April 12 by eSaF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miliuco Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 @Alan Sojan  You can go step by step. First, get your current EFI (it boots but iGPU is not properly installed) and add into config.plist the code for the iGPU, as I see in the pic you have uploaded in your last post. Your EFI + iGPU DeviceProperties. Nothing more. Does the system boot? Do you have graphic acceleration? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eSaF Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Are you clearing the NvRAM between each trial? That is very important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eSaF Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Ok - tell me this, in your very fist post with your original EFI attached, were you able to reach the desktop albeit with crappy graphics? I f that is the case, I can modify it to give you better results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slice Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 But why you recommended frame 19120000? This is desktop frame without LVDS connector! Choose one of 0x191E0000 (mobile, 3 connectors, 56 MB) 0x19160000 (mobile, 3 connectors, 56 MB) 0x19260000 (mobile, 3 connectors, 56 MB) 0x19270000 (mobile, 3 connectors, 56 MB) 0x191B0000 (mobile, 3 connectors, 56 MB) 0x193B0000 (mobile, 3 connectors, 56 MB) I had a success with 193B0000 having LVDS+HDMI+DP 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
