on the low budget side the HD4870 runs well enough for lowered expectations
I thought all of the ATI drivers were broken due to the use of the SSE4.2 instruction set?
Got a tip for us?

Only the ones for 5xxx series and newer require SSE4.2. Older AMD cards (4xxx series and older) will work just fine.
Amazing. I had always figured this was a good option and never understood why it was impossible... because apparently it's not. You rock
Now I am confused. Does that imply that you can use patched Mojave with the HD2600 XT as well? If so, do you still get accelerated video or is it reverting to some generic non-accelerated driver?
Yes, you will get full accelerated video on any Radeon HD 2xxx, 3xxx, or 4xxx series card with my patcher under Mojave.
Ok. Looks like they're definitely getting close to final betas and even GM as test, debug and instrumentation code is being stripped away or rebuilt with release in mind...
Can you check the all important CoreDisplay? I won't have access to my old machines for a couple of days and am really concerned they may remove many of the internal private APIs I am fooling around with (to control display functions inaccessible via preferences or anywhere else for that matter). In fact, PM me the latest CoreDisplay and OpenGL if you have time. Thanks.

Not only is OpenGL deprecated in Mojave, but we've noticed that the shipped framework is significantly different than the HS version. As we know, Apple and Adobe are not on good speaking terms right now. Was this running under a previous beta? Is this an After Effects trial beta?
13" or 15"/17"? If 15"/17", is AMD GPU disabled? If not, there's your issue.
It's AE retail from Creative Cloud (I'm on a monthly plan) with the latest updates.
I didn't know AE uses OpenGL besides for hardware accelerated UI panels (which I disabled)...and some plugins do use OpenGL (which I disabled). This happens on launch and it freezes after I import any clip.
Curious to see if CC2019 will fix this? I think it will be announced in November.

Forced iGPU via gfxCardStatus 2.4.4i
It shows that iGPU is selected when apps are open and system doesn't slow down to a crawl which is typical to AMD drivers being not fully loaded.
I've already upgraded my Mac Mini 4,1 to Mojave using this tool, it was on APFS before I updated it so I didn't touch the APFS tool.
I'm considering upgrading my MacBook 5,1 which isn't on APFS. Is APFS required for the installation of Mojave or can I leave it on the default file system?

Nope, disabling dGPU via GFXCardStatus isn't going to work. You need to set the necessary NVRAM variable, which is shown on my webpage here.
Just resetting PRAM will revert it.
Just tried your workaround.
It didn't work unfortunately for my situation.
EDIT: Actually I have to use gfxCardStatus (forcing to iGPU) and workaround DID work. If I reboot without gfxCardStatus auto loaded, I get the same error.
Thanks!!
Hi, apologies to come late to the AMD discussion...this is my first post. I have a 2011 17" MBP with AMD 6770M GPU and am interested in the "no acceleration" problem. Pardon my ignorance - I'm not a macOS driver/KEXT guy...
I presume that the "no acceleration" issue happens in a Mojave configuration that includes:
- native Mojave Intel graphics drivers and...
- High Sierra AMD Radeon drivers
but am wondering if it happens in a Mojave configuration that includes (if possible):
- High Sierra Intel graphics drivers and...
- High Sierra AMD Radeon drivers
Thanks for everyone's advice.

Apple Bug Reporter seems to be down for scheduled maintenance after a reply about the menu bar issue. Guess like we have to wait for the maintenance to finish. Could be a while.
All kexts for pre-Metal GPUs are taken from High Sierra, which includes nVidia, Intel, and AMD kexts. The AMD kexts for the Radeon HD 5xxx and 6xxx series are the problematic ones though, that simply do not load under Mojave for some unknown reason. All the rest, including the AMD kexts for Radeon HD 4xxx series and older, load just fine. To get acceleration on your machine under Mojave, you'll need to disable the dedicated GPU. You can do so by following my guide found here, or performing my hardware modification.
I'm sure they (Adobe) will. Mojave will never go Live without fully functional Core Adobe Apps. There's a big push at Adobe right now to tune their apps for metal.
I am wondering why..?
I know metal is a completely different thing(?) but when I search for OpenGL and OpenCL
which makes me think that there must be such no huge difference
even intel hd3000 doing great on Mojave, Strange!

Not sure if you guys have seen this but I thought you might find it cool. Off-topic, I know, but neat! Already used it on a couple apps.

Unfortunately Dosdude's disable GPU has broke 2 things for me:
1) Sleep doesn't work (ie close shell doesn't go to sleep) or even via apple > sleep
2) Brightness control is gone from keyboard and in settings
