First generation Intel HD Graphics on macOS

This repo contains information regarding first generation Intel HD Graphics and macOS.

Update: WhateverGreen now can be used instead of manual kext patches, please use it. For historical purposes, the old instructions are archived here for reference.

Requirements

• Laptop with first generation Intel HD Graphics that uses an LVDS-connected display (eDP is unsupported). Desktop systems cannot be used.
• Mac OS X 10.6.4 to macOS 10.13.x.
• OpenCore (0.6.0 or higher)
• Lilu
• WhateverGreen (1.5.1 or higher)
• SMBIOS set to MacBookPro6,1 or MacBookPro6,2

Configuration

Refer to this section in the WhateverGreen manual for full details.

To enable patching, add framebuffer-patch-enable under your iGPU device in the config.plist. For displays that are 1366x768, or as needed, you may need to enable single link mode and set the link width with framebuffer-singlelink and/or framebuffer-linkwidth. framebuffer-linkwidth defaults to a link width of 1.

All properties should be in proper 32-bit data <XXXXXXXX> format.

Installation

Install macOS as normal.
