Can you boot without -igfxvesa?

 

No, I can't boot without -igfxvesa.

If not, then you might have to follow my DVMT guide here and here for E7x70.

 

Jake, I have a few questions :

1. I already use Lilu.kext + Whatevergreen in kext folder in the EFI. Is that enough to not change the DVMT?
2. Is changing DVMT safe for my laptop?

Normally repair permissions and rebuild cache should cache should work with Lilu+Whatevergreen. You could try placing them in /L/E instead.

But if not, changing DVMT will have to be done. Yes, it's safe for all the latitudes I had done hence it's included in my guide.

Ok Jake. I've followed the first method and it didn't work. Booting still has to use -igfxvesa and still get a 4 MB display.

 

And now, after I change the DVMT,

then this seems to work (boot without -igfxvesa), but the boot process stuck like this

try disabling none essential kexts...

Assuming kext is in /EFI/Clover/kexts

Hit spacebar at Clover loader-> Block injected Kexts

Select the Folder where kext(s) resides ( Other, 10.13, 10.12…etc)

Select kext(s) to be disabled

Go back to main menu and boot with selected option

 

Just need FakeSMC or VirtualSMC, USBinjectall, ApplePS2Controller, Lilu, Whatevergreen and IntelMausiEthernet

Because when I use High Sierra (even Mojave), there are several applications (at least 4 applications until I decide to change to El Capitan again) that I use to work with El Capitan on a previous laptop, which cannot run properly in High Sierra (even on Mojave, there are around 5 applications that cannot run properly). And this is a specific application. Not an easily updated / upgraded application.

 

I really apologize if you feel like spending time on this issue to helping me.
