Hackintosh Guide - Disable Discrete Graphic Card - Notebook - Nvidia or AMD

[erroruser]

[ref]cm0270[/ref], as for your smbios it should be imac 18,3

[ref]erroruser[/ref], [ref]cm0270[/ref], if its a laptop use the macbook series smbios. Choose the one closest to your cpu type.

Got the smbios listed as MacBook Air. Closest thing to my Haswell i7.

Still trying to figure out how to disable this Nvidia 950m dedicated graphics card.

I just clicked the link. No problem here.

Ok got the video to play. To say I am completely lost is an UNDERSTATEMENT. I am not a programmer in any type of sense. I have tried following that video but confused as can be. RP05, PXSX, IOREG, etc is foreign language to me. I have not a lick of sense of what I am even doing. How do I know which SSDT to use? How do I find them on my system? My ACPI folder in the EFI folder is blank. I don't see anything there. All I have is copies of the files, which I hopefully and successfully extracted from my system, in a folder which is attached. That has my DSDT, SSDT-1 through SSDT-6 and a few others.

EDIT: Also just wanted you to know I do appreciate all the help. This just gets frustrating. lol. I have a wireless card that will be here in a few days that I specifically ordered to make it wireless. All I need now is just sorting out this graphics issue so it doesn't kill my battery when I am mobile with it.

My ACPI folder in the EFI folder is blank. I don't see anything there.

 

Why are you not using the patched DSDT prepared by Maldon for your system here http://Olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=75323#p75323 ?

I have the dsdt that Maldon sent me in the ACPI/patched folder in the EFI in the clover folder. I even ran Hackintool again. This does seem to disable the Nvidia card but it goes back to the same thing for the HD4600 graphics as showing only 7mb instead of 1536mb. I have tried redoing it again and again and get the same thing.

What am I doing wrong? Is it me or something else?

Attached is screenshot and config.plist file. All the changes that Maldon said to make in the ACPI part of clover configurator have been done as well. Could it be the version of Clover configurator I am running by chance? It is version 4.42.1.

ok. I have never had any success in installing the Olarila Mojave 10.14.3 image for some reason. I redid the USB and voila it managed to install this time fortunately. Got it booted up and had to use usb keyboard and mouse, downloaded the chipset for notebooks 5,7,8,9. Went through all steps and installed Clover v2.4k r4895. Went through all the steps even when it said to reinstall clover again after replacing the EFI folder. Done. Laptop now boots up with the keyboard and mouse working along with ethernet. At the verbose bootup screen it tells me to change the Intel ID to 0412. Tried doing that with Clover configurator by choosing inject EID and Inject Intel. Put the ID: 0x0d220003 for the ig-platform-id and in the Graphics tab and put the ID: 0x04128086 in the Devices tab in the IntelGFX section. Saved it and rebooted. I do not see the Nvidia in the system information but the Intel still shows ID of 0416. This reference keeps popping up for Whatevergreen.kext. I do not have that installed. Even hackintool shows it installed. Whatevergreen: Yes (REL-126-2018-12-28)

All of this is done with the Olarila image install and dropping the DSDT.aml that Maldon sent me and putting it in the EFI/Clover/ACPI/Patched folder. I have tried using Hackintool as well but when I use Hackintool and choose the Haswell on the pulldown I don't see 0412 ID in the right pulldown. All I see is the 0x04160000 id. I do see 0x04120004 and 0x0412000B in the pulldown list.

I was finally able to get the Olarila Mojave 10.14.3 image reinstalled on my system. Ran Hackintool and edited the config.plist and pasted the new one into the EFI folder. Graphics now show Intel HD4600 2058mb. Is this correct or should it be the 1536mb? Or does this matter?

Upon boot up I was getting the glitchy screen like this screenshot someone else posted. Managed to get into the system after I was able to put it to sleep and the graphics came up. Saw a post that said to enable uefi/csm in my bios. Did that and the glitch on startup went away.

Now just need to work on the USB power issue. it shows up on boot up but boots fine, but when using usb on the laptop it still says USB accessory needs power. Is there a file that needs to be edited and how if there is? Right now no usb drive will work when plugged in.

 

 

but now I get this glitch when trying out the chess game on the laptop but tried watching a video on youtube to see how it did and played perfectly fine.

[ref]cm0270[/ref], this usb problems is about device EC

[aryaone]

[ref]MaLd0n[/ref], i just want to confirm. my dsdt is already patched by you (thanks again ), do i still need to disable my dgpu? or may be you already disable it when patching my dsdt? because when i check ioreg file, there is no NVDA (FYI, my laptop use nvidia mx130 DGPU)

[MaLd0n]

[ref]aryaone[/ref], check in "Graphics and Monitors", if u se only IntelHD, ur dgpu is disabled
