My apologies I was thinking AMD CPUs for Hackintoshes. This aggravates me that AMD could work yet nVidia GeForce 320M is left in the dust by Apples Propietary Code.
In VM there is not hardware acceleration, so it is the unresponsiveness.

If there’s anything any of you need me to do on my MacBook Pro to try and get this to work, just let me know. Tell me what to do and I’ll do it.
All the devs who are trying to bring back openGL support, thank you for your hard work!
Yes, thank you!
Okay yeah, but in the screenshot the guy had it working, and I have better specs than them?
You have an Intel HD Graphics former to HD3000. I guess that it would load the Intel kexts, but I don't know if it would be effective. Remember that the kext load is a requirement for starting to work in OpenGL compatibility.
You can use Mojave with VMWare, but remember that it's slow currently.

Interesting question, yes. I would want to know what method used to do this.
oh i see then, i will use mojave with vmware fusion until the kext loads compatibily.
had no problem with the installation, but then after a reboot i got stuck with a gray screen.
then i replaced the IOAcceleratorFamily2.kext from mojave with the one from HS (don't know if this is the right way of solving this problem, but after another reboot i could finish the setup of mojave).
at that moment the finder app crashed always, if i tried to open up a folder.
so i booted into safe mode, replaced the IOAcceleratorFamily2.kext back with the original one from mojave and installed vmware tools.
now finder doesn't crash anymore, but running mojave is relatively CPU heavy and not very smooth on my old MacBook because of the missing hardware acceleration.

Guys, thank you for great work!
I just want to recap, is it currently possible to run Mojave on mac mini server mid 2011 (i7-2635qm with only HD3000) ? What's needed for that?

is it possible to get this working on the MacBook5,2? since it has an Nvidia 9400M GPu in it
i dont have IOAcceleratorFamily2.kext from high sierra. could you upload it?
That's what I was thinking... That's how I backported BDW to Mavericks on my BRoadwell Macbook Air... (plus adding AppleHSSPISupport and AppleLPSS for the spi keyboard and trackpad) It's just dependencies... to get the initial kexts to actually load. Everything that happens after loading though, is a whole different dilemma...
[doublepost=1528474396][/doublepost]I betcha 100% that Apple will recompile the kexts without AVX so that MacPro4,1 and 5,1 can use an aftermarket GPU. I am extremely sure of this.
How can we help out? There's a lot of knowledgeable people here... Someone might know a random fact about macOS that saves the day... Ultimately, we're all in this, and we can all help, even the littlest facts could make a difference. Just a brief update on where you are in loading the kexts and what issues there are, and I'm sure someone, someone of the hundreds of people will know how to fix it.
The updates have been really great, and we appreciate the awesome work going on, but I am just a tiny bit confused on the whole "roadmap" if you will, how many issues on the kexts are left to fix, and what glitches are to be worked on fixing.
Great things in business are never done by one person, they're done by a team of people.

You mean that Apple uses only GPUs from AMD, not CPUs? Or that Apple will now use only AMD GPUs, not Nvidia GPUs?
Both.
[doublepost=1528483305][/doublepost]
Maybe but we're concentrating on the computers which are newly unsupported.

We're not sure yet. It seems harder but still possible.My apologies I was thinking AMD CPUs for Hackintoshes. This aggravates me that AMD could work yet nVidia GeForce 320M is left in the dust by Apples Propietary Code.
Here is the current status:
We can boot the OS on Nehalem and newer CPUs. It crashes on older CPUs. We don't know why. We're investigating.
We can load the AMD graphics drivers and have 2D acceleration but not OpenGL yet. We are still trying to load the Nvidia drivers.
There are some other issues to fix such as Atheros WiFi (the driver is gone) and sound (missing configuration files).

I have a Nvidia GPU that does not support Metal. it works good with High Sierra. I am thinking into buying a new GPU that supports Metal, in case I can not get Mojave to work with my current specs. Would you advise me to go with Nvidia or AMD?

How have you installed VooDoo HDA Audio? Copy-paste into Clover EFI or pkg ?
They did. Nvidia gt650m in 2012 macbook pro and GT7xx series in several macs in 2013.
so all this means that i could run Mojave on dad's MacBook Pro Late 2011? I am getting more and more happier
Hey guys I have a question , have iMac 27 from 2010 is it possible to install 10.14 on this machine?
I have map pro 2,1 from 2007 with running El Capitan gtx Nvidia 960 running.
It’s easier install on my iMac with and graphic card or on my good old Mac pro ?

Right now it won’t work with iMacs older than 2012. We’re probably going to have to wait until close to the official release before we know for sure if a workaround can be done for unsupported Macs.
Ok thx for your fast answer. Than I try it on my Mac Pro 2,1 problem I must use modify 32 bit kernel for boot after install ... or I try it with the patcher -high Sierra for older macs
Hello I have a macbook pro late 2011 could you please help me how to install macos 10.14 mojave? I am using 10.13.5 and I have Parallels version 13.1.0. Thank you very much.
