[doublepost=1528634023][/doublepost]How to enable acceleration on intel hd 3000 Graphics? I copy kexts for hd 3000 from 10.13, but it is loading in black screen
just managed to boot the 10.14 Beta Bootstick on a Mac Pro 3.1 with Apple EFI HD5870. Got so far the Installer tells me about an unsupported Computer.
needed
sudo nvram boot-args="-no_compat_check"
to bypass the machine check
otherwise it refused to Boot with the vorbidden sign
now: how to edit the list of compatible machines within the Installer ?

It might be more complex than that as enabling acceleration in the UI will probably be predicated by a Metal API check to decide what to do next. The question is how to workaround that check. That could be via adding cards to the supported Metal API list or hacking the check to always return true. These would likely requiring hacking some Apple framework protected by SIP.
Another thing to remember is that given this is early beta then Apple could modify the method to lockout GPUs. If it’s too easy then they might make it harder. They do watch blogs like this.
You may be right. I can say for sure the 1080Ti supports Metal. Kinda glad I still have my MP5,1 flashed 4,1. Looks like I'm going to be getting a little more use out of it for the foreseeable future.
The check IS based on whether the driver supports Metal. Interestingly, the reason Fermi GPUs work is because they use the same driver as Kepler, and Kepler supports Metal.

So if I'm right, all devices that ran El Capitan had Metal. That means early 2009 upwards at least are capable of Metal. So surely that can open a window of exploitation to get Mojave working on at least 2009.
Update:
Nvidia drivers load but the code is incomplete
Legacy USB injector was finished
We know 100% for sure that the GPU problem is in Skylight.framework (and you also need to replace OpenGL+OpenCL from 10.13.5). Does this remind anyone else of MLPostFactor?

You are not right. https://www.imore.com/here-are-macs-work-os-x-el-capitans-metal
Ahhhh right. I will have to see exactly what I have in mine as I got it given to me a while back by a mate who got it a while back in the London Riots lmao
tbh, im not aware of it's history so lmao
-edit-
I wouldn’t say “stole”, rather I’d say redeemed as I’m taking fairly (abusive) good care of it!

but old radeon graphics series 5xxx and 6xxx works with kexts 10.13 without metallsuccesfuly.
what is hd 3000? maybe need replace other kexts?
[doublepost=1528662387][/doublepost]Core2 Duo E8400 (SSE4.1 only, no SSE4.2) + GT 640 1G, after installation success, boot to system restarting on gray screen and mouse.
got it managed to install Mojave Beta 1 kinda remotely on a upgraded 4.1/5.1 from a friend with GT120.
just the rude basic steps:
- Took Apart Instal ESD
- patched OSInstall.mpkg
(Distribution File, pulled nonSupported, added Board ID)
- copied the contents of install esd in a folder plus the patched OSInstall.mpkg
- run OSINstall.mpkg
(system installed)
(installed system was missing boot.efi)
-copied boot.efi from Mojave bootstick
-swapped Platformsupport.plist from High Sierra
system run with the GT120 but laggy GUI !
on my 3.1 I got to the point as GPU Driver kicked in (or not) but I knew it was not working

if you could send me that which you made so i can test it on mine (higher processor and graphics) that would me much appreciated. I'll see if i can do anything from there to help
sip already disabled, what about this intelgraphicsfix.kext
https://github.com/lvs1974/IntelGraphicsFixup/releases ?
v1.2.7
- Add igfxgl=1 boot argument (and disable-metal property) to disable Metal support may be this kext use for it?
intelgraphicsfix.kext works only lilu.kext, on other supported intel cards it disable metall, but what do with hd 3000 . may be can works with it?
It works on 5xxx/6xxx?! Can you send me a screenshot? How did you install it?
It didn't work for me. I installed all of the AMD/ATI kexts, and then Ioacceleratorfamily2/ioaccelerator2d
That's amazing! Fermi works with the -no_compat_check and that's it? What happens if you boot without the no_compat_check arg? I've been a little out of the loop, sorry if I don't get it, but that's great! UIKit apps I'll assume still show a blank window, but that's good all aroundYes that is what I mean (ignore model; It's a hackintosh)
