Intell Broadwell i5-5300U, no graphics acceleration for HD 5500

[theokeist]

Laptop: PANASONIC Toughbook CF-MX4

CPU: i5-5300U (vPro)

GPU: Intell HD Graphics 5500

OS: 12.7.1

OC: 0.9.6

------------

Hi guys, Im trying for several days to fix graphics acceleration for my machine, but it just dont wanna work.

Followed tutorials and add framebuffers, so far tried only few combinations of device-id & ig-platform-id (usually suggested default one 02001616, but tried some combination of different device-id last hours.. no success) I always ended up with: Intel HD Graphics 5500 7 MB (ofc. reset the NVRAM)

In BIOS I don`t have anything related to DVMT 😐 ..to that case. I always ended up with 7 MB.

As I started with hackintosh, 3days ago, so far a wonderfull experience I feel like repairing luxury car (thanks to OpenCore)

Successfully patched DSDT , IRQs, finaly Audio is working enough for my use (Realtek ALC269, alcid=138), WiFi only using HeliPort.app but this is somehow ok (Wireless 7265).

In general, I think that I have "normal" EFI for me... I hope 😅  😅

Other things on my list to be fixed, that are NOT WORKING at the moment are:

• Brightness control
• *mby battery management* battery goes down quite fast IMHO
• Native WiFi ?

Included scrapped EFI folder for my setup

And Thanks for Your Help .

Hi thanks for quick response, on my GitHub

https://github.com/theokeist/CFMX4-EFI

[MaLd0n]

Check if work

https://easyupload.io/z8qy43

-Delete old EFI folder and paste new. Don't use merge files
-Don't use Drag and Drop into EFI partition. Use Copy/Paste instead
-Reset NVRAM one time - with OpenCore use entry "Reset Nvram" / with Clover use F11 key on boot screen

i have error 🥲

Maybe I shoud check with OCAuxilaryTools first ?

[theokeist]

I recover originál EFI using linux. Thankfully its working.

 Will look at it again with OCAuxiliaryTools

Should I update the .kext first ?? I mean its still showing newer versions in OpenCore Configurator but old one in

OCAuxiliaryTools .... im confused

UPDATE:

so i manage to check your versions of kext files and keep their version, confog.plist check was OK.

BUT i got different error now:

Refusing new kext ru.usrsse2.SMCBatteryManager, v1.3.2; a prelinked copy with a different executable UUID is already present.

— NOT WORKING

Sorry to bother you again.

[theokeist]

Any recomendations on wifi issue?

[MaLd0n]

Use itlwm instead AirportItlwm if cause kp

[theokeist]

Im not sure how to repair the Sleep / Wake up function. In my case when i either close the lid or click on Sleep than display turn black ofc but in both cases im unable to turn on again I have to restart pc.

Followed the Post Install guide and no diference. 

Just black screen with some “line of graphics” literaly, once a time

I will give it a try, but for info.. I downgrade to Catalina and after inital install, with the last EFI from the thread, Sleep/Lid work, but then I updateed OS for some security patches and THEN It stopped working again (macOS 10.15.7 (19H2026) - current)..

I found adn will try this kext https://github.com/acidanthera/HibernationFixup
