Nancy10 Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share Posted June 5, 2020 I am trying to figure out how to change the Framebuffer Memory in order to try and fix the KP but i ccouldn't find out what values to use, I saw this on WEG Github : https://github.com/acidanthera/WhateverGreen/blob/master/Manual/FAQ.IntelHD.en.md but couldn't find how to reverse, the bits correctly ( no standard reversing onmine could do the trick ), and didn't find how to get the initial values that they are using in the examples. these are the recommended framebuffers for laptop from the WEG GH : ID: 591B0000, STOLEN: 38 MB, FBMEM: 21 MB, VRAM: 1536 MB, Flags: 0x0000130B TOTAL STOLEN: 39 MB, TOTAL CURSOR: 1 MB (1572864 bytes), MAX STOLEN: 136 MB, MAX OVERALL: 137 MB (144191488 bytes) Model name: Intel HD Graphics KBL CRB Camellia: CamelliaDisabled (0), Freq: 1388 Hz, FreqMax: 1388 Hz Mobile: 1, PipeCount: 3, PortCount: 3, FBMemoryCount: 3 [0] busId: 0x00, pipe: 8, type: 0x00000002, flags: 0x00000098 - ConnectorLVDS [2] busId: 0x04, pipe: 10, type: 0x00000800, flags: 0x00000187 - ConnectorHDMI [3] busId: 0x06, pipe: 10, type: 0x00000400, flags: 0x00000187 - ConnectorDP 00000800 02000000 98000000 02040A00 00080000 87010000 03060A00 00040000 87010000 are the initial values one fo the last 3 lines ? To be clear i am already using the 32Mb patch (the one set up by default in the rehabman repo of config.plists). I also didn't find how to change the DVMT value in bios and i don't have windows to really try the extraction method from here : would assuming the DVMT is set by default to 39Mb and changing to that in the clover framebuffer memory, damage my hardware or it would spit out an error ?

Nancy10 Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 I am still going with my fixes and i just backed up my data in case i do a complete reinstall, but when i went into diskUtility i figured that the update process created an additional volume called APFS - Data and it didn't do anything with it afterwards, here is an image from diskUtility : Does this mean the update didn't finish correctly ?

Administrators Hervé Posted June 11, 2020 Administrators Share Posted June 11, 2020 No, what you saw is perfectly normal. You've just got some significant catch-up to do re: macOS Catalina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
