GUIDE How to Enable Intel UHD Graphics 620/630 on Laptop

[EliteMacx86]

I've got a unicorn laptop, XPS 13 9360 Kaby Lake with Intel UHD 620. It showed as 1 GB ram in Windows.
I have installed 12.2 via Clover, and can get to a desktop. its says I have 21 MB ram, and its is the insane native resolution of my panel, 3200x1800. I have tried a few different AAPL,ig-platform-id's but all are the same, assuming I CAN boot to desktop, it's still 21 MB

Looks like you're talking about VRAM, not the actual RAM

Well, it's normal as being QHD, you need to patch the framebuffer for 4K output. Refer to the config.plist creation guide

Ok 1 I am a moron. I used OpenCore 7.4 and yes OSX reports 21 mb vram otherwise everything works, including the touchscreen. trying to wrap my brain around how and where to patch framebuffer

Yes, a typical Kaby Lake Device Properties.

ANd what for device ID?
I added in ALL of that, and its still 21 mb :/

Along with the above properties, you need a few others properties for 4K/UHD/QHD Display.

Looks like you forgot this!

Check whatevergreen manual.

@EliteMacx86 Can you help me make iGPU of 10875h UHD630 works on my laptop?

I've tried many methods to resolve this, but all failed.

I've collected the info required and attached here.

# Help needed: how to make iGPU of 10875h UHD630 works on my laptop
## Details:

- Backlight: not done
4. Working HW
- LAN: RealtekRTL8111
- WiFi: itlwm
- Audio: ALC
- USB: mapped
5. Problem
- How to make iGPU works.
6. BIOS: I've unlocked the BIOS, and done the following
- CFG Lock: Off
- DVMT: 64MB
- and other changes according to the guide
7. What I've tried
- opencore version : from 0.6.9 to 0.7.1
- mac os version: 10.15.7 to 11.4
- smbios: MacBookPro16,1/2/3/4, MacBookPro15.1
- many AAPL,ig-platform-id
- many device-id: it seeams like only the current one can display
8. My guess
- Comet Lake caused?
- Laptop ?
- Smbios ?

You need to patch framebuffers. Check WhateverGreen manual.

Hello,

I just passed my Mojave hackintosh on my surface book 2 with Clover. But my video card isn't detected properly and I can't do it.

I tried with the HD620 config.plist settings attached, but failed (I can't even run Mojave).

Any advice? Thanks

DVMT patch is required in addition to framebuffer patching.
