GUIDE Intel UHD Graphics 620 (Whiskey Lake) on Laptop [Clover/OpenCore]

[EliteMacx86]

Sorry, forgot to mention yes it's a 4K panel. Dedicated video memory in Windows shows 128MB, so I don't think DVMT allocation is a problem? Did try using the patches though, no effect that I could tell

Often DVMT pre-alloc is needed for that. I've not checked your files yet. Will check them soon.

Hey have you had a chance to check yet?

Hey have you had a chance to check yet?

Yeah. Just checked it today.

• Here are some of the issues.
• The IOReg is corrupt.
• No kextcache output attached.
• The configuration is not upto the mark.

I am trying to use this guide for my laptop, but I don't see all those device properties in my config.plist that are shown in the first post screenshot, both lists are empty there. I tried to use Hackintool to generate patch, but it also just generates a one line patch after selecting the options. Any hint on what I could be doing wrong please?

Hi!

first, thanks a lot for this post and of course for the time dedicated to answer the questions and resolve the problems.

Now, my case, will be great if you can help me

1. I have installed on my Dell Latitude 5500 Catalina following the guide indicated in the 1 post (laptop guide).
2. I used as base the config.plist from the repository indicated (config_UHD630.plist).
3. I modified this config.plist to include the SMBIOS info to select a MacBookPro15,2 with invalid serial number.
4. I installed the "Original Graphics kexts" in S/L/E. But the guide does not says the kext, so i guessed "FakePCIID.kext" and "FakePCIID_Intel_HD_Graphics.kext". Maybe i was wrong.
5. I modified the config.plist to include the key "AAPL, ig-platform-id" with the value "0900A53E" in "Devices/Properties"
6. I modified the config.plist to include the key "device-id" with the value "A53E0000".
7. I don't have in my BIOS an option to modify the DVMT Pre-Allocated, but i read that config.plist used has a patch to fit DVMT in 32 Mb so i changed nothing about that.

After all of that, i restarted my computer, booted and in the middle of the process, the system stop and reset. So i am not able to boot, only if i return to my "safe" config.plist that is the original one, i am able to boot.

Maybe the values used for ig-plattform-id and device-id are not correct? Are the same values for all the Intel Ultra HD Whisky lake of the market?
Or maybe the problem is with the DVMT Pre-Allocated patch?

I know that i have yet a lot of work to do:

- fix sound
- fix ethernet
- fix wifi
- install clover in the hard disk
- dual boot with windows

etc, but i wanted to fix first the thing about graphic card, becouse without that it will have no sense to make the hackintosh.

Thanks in advance!!!

(sorry but i was not able to upload all in 1 zip of 3Mbytes, so i have done in 4 zips)

Intel i7 8665U has Intel UHD Graphics 620. But you're using wrong .plist file. Use HD 620 config.plist
Remove the FakePCIID and related kexts.
The configuration is not upto the mark. Start here:

Thanks again for your help.

I followed your guide to install osX but was not possible to make exact the same becouse (at least for me), was not working and i was not able to install Catalina. I needed to use the last clover and the UHD 630 config.plist.

I have tried to replace the config.plist from UHD 630 for the one that you says (config_HD615_620_630_640_650.plist) and also delete the 2 kexts ("FakePCIID.kext" and "FakePCIID_Intel_HD_Graphics.kext") but i have the same result: rebooting. With the UHD 630 at least i could boot with the default one before use your patches (and then i get the rebooting problem), but with this one config.plist is rebooting with the default version and with the one that include the 2 patches.

Another question: if i needed to delete these kext ("FakePCIID.kext" and "FakePCIID_Intel_HD_Graphics.kext"), what means in your guide the requirement

• Original Graphics kexts in S/L/E

Is necesary to install another kexts and not this 2?

Thanks!
