Ive been reading a lot, and a lot of people seem to say that MSI boards in particular have an issue with sleep on hackintoshes. But is there a way to make it work reliably? I have a MSI B250 Gaming Pro motherboard with i5 7600k (Intel HD 630), no discrete GPU, only thing plugged into USB is...

Ok, I started reading what EDID was... since none of the guides actually tell you what it is. And if I understand correctly doing EDID patch basically marries you to a specific monitor? Which would not work in my case since I am just setting up this Hackintosh on my main monitors but the plan is...

Follow up from previous post... guide has only one HEX block, my dump (via Ubuntu) has two... do I use both? Do I use one? How to know which to use? Also guide tells me to open FixEDID App.... where do I get that, with such a generic name its impossible to google for it. Found something on...

Following the guide, first option via IOreg I cant do because there is no Display section. Doing DarwinDumper... the dump ended up with an empty folder. Here it is attached. Going to try Ubuntu next... Why am I having so much trouble with this? its the most run of the mill processor, most run...

When I connect via VNC there is no Display section under iGPU at all. My boot args do not have "-igfxvesa". How do I inject EDID?

Yes I already have the iGPU memory allocation in BIOS set to 64Mb, it was set to 128Mb but I set it to 64Mb now. I removed stolenmem, and -igfxvesa I have set ig-platform-id to 00001259 My EFI with all the changes is attached. However now the only way for me to get into it is either via SSH...

here is the behavior when changing platform ID to the recommended 00001259

Here is exact settings as suggested above... and as I said with a screenshot above... doesnt boot with these settings. I removed -igfxvesa But now instead of being stuck on the text it goes to black screen and monitor turns off.

sorry, it was supposed to be "anyone with a link has access" I fixed it now. I put it on google because I didnt realize that I could upload files here. And I saw someone in a different post asking to upload to google. Ive tried all the changes mentioned before and none of them work, do you not...

Unfortuntely fails to boot with this config: You can check EFI I attached it also put it on google: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IohgYQ4Ka4VM-dpoROU_GB5AOq7qDC_z/view?usp=drive_link

Thanks for the link but thats for Coffee Lake (this is Kaby Lake) and more importantly that guide is for headless setup. I need iGPU to be my primary display card.

can my macos version be the problem? should I go back to like catalina or something?

I have been trying to patch the framebuffers... but all end up with either a black screen, or a screen where half the screen is flashing white squares on black background, or these teal bars... here I made a video: thats with this EFI...

00001259 leads to a black screen after boot text (when its supposed to show apple logo with loading bar)

Im going down a list and trying them all, so far, no HW acceleration. Here is a question. if it boots, but there is no hw acceleration, is the only thing I should be editing the AAPL,ig-platform-id ? Or should I be messing with other values?
