Sorry, you misunderstood me. I meant whether you had the same two problems especially ..display target mode... I reinstalled the patch updater. Now audio is working again but not the target display mode via thunderbolt.
Thanks for your help.

Do you think this will be working also for AMD 6xxx series?
Oh great, never noticed that, it works even with non-beta release.
I am running a supported Mac (MacPro5,1) with an unsupported video card (AMD Raedon HD 5770). Does anyone here have any idea how I could get this combination working with Mojave? Thx everyone!!
No fixes or workarounds so far. Even if you could get it to run with that card, the experience judging from my iMac with a 6790M is not much fun.
I got a notice for an update to Mojave last night - launched it before I headed to bed last night. It completed overnight and I just signed in. I don't see any beta numbers displayed on the About screen - could it be the final release?? MacPro 4.1 flashed to 5.1 with some upgraded wifi, graphics card and processors. So, "Native" install.
Ah, one of the mac sites says its the final beta - a "Gold master" - and that Final release is due Sept 24th,
but it does seem unusual to not show a beta number!
Edit: And as Vyzantion said below- a click reveals - (18A389) - apparently the 11th beta.

Earlier on this thread you got an answer: click on „Version 10.14” to see the build number.
[doublepost=1536830667][/doublepost]I have downloaded two times the installer from Apple, via System Upates (I prefer to avoid downloading from the Dosdude1 patch, for legal reasons.), I have got an installer app with the same version as Public Beta 9 (Developer Preview 10) each time. Can someone confirm this is, actually, PB 10, not PB 9? Someone said earlier something like that.
It really sux!! I hate throwing good hardware to the wind, but what can I do? I'd love a replacement video card but they are just too expensive for such an old machine
I predicted on September 6th: macOS 10.14 Mojave App Store release date
It's officially scheduled on 9/24 : https://www.apple.com/macos/mojave/
The beta 10 installer was released as 14.0.21. Apple hasn't released a full installer for the GM yet.

They really aren't. Either a HD7950 or a GTX680 is readily available for <£100 apiece and (depending upon model and output ports) both can be flashed to give boot screens. I paid £71 for a R9 280X recently that I flashed without issue. You can offset the cost 100% by selling the 5770.
14.0.21 was the installer for PB 9. So, if I download it and see that it has the same number, it is safe to assume it is beta 9, not beta 10. If it were beta 10, it would be visible. So, this means that, the only way to get PB 10 legaly is to install PB 9 and then update it from System Preferences, no clean install. Right?
This just might be a versioning glitch on Apple's part. The beta 9 installer was 14.0.19 and the beta 10 jumped to 14.0.21 so they probably forgot that the 14.0.21 version number was already used for a released installer.
And I would do it now. I assume the value of the non-mojave gpus will decrease soon.
Legal reasons? The tool literally downloads all files straight from Apple... How is that illegal in any way?
Hallo
does anybody know, which GPU (MXM) I could put in my imac 27" 12.1 mid 2011. The machine has got 32GB Ram 1TB SSD and it works so fine that I really do not want to buy a newer one. There are no problems for me to disassemble the imac as I have done before. In ebay I found several mxm cards from nvidia (GTX 660) for low money. I also thought for a egpu solution but that is not what I am wanting to spend money for. Thanks for your answers

Currently, if u replace the original MXM cards with something that does not contains Apple's EFI ROM you lost the ability to change backlight (backlight will be always on full) and the boot screen (without the boot screen you can't see the boot process, can't see anything in recovery mode or can't seen anything in the installer). Nearly all of this cards are the DisplayPort output are also broken, so u can't connect any external display. Sometimes target display mode will broke.
If u attach an eGPU, it is only works when u connect the displays to the eGPU (because of the internal screen is hardwired to the Radeon GPU), so u need an another display to work with it.
Macvidcards long time ago promised a metal compatible MXM module with boot screen and backlight control support, but it is still not available.
If “legality” is that important to you, quit now. It is technically “illegal” by your definition to install macOS on unsupported hardware
Hello everyone,
Do you have this display Bug at the bottom of the popup window when right clicking on any dock icon?
This Bug appears in both light and dark modes.
Hoping that it will be corrected at the next release of 10.14 ...

If you have metal running with Appe’s Mojave drivers provided you have a card works with The menu bar should be a light translucent gray. It’s still kind of crappy in my opinion as it’s lighter than previous menu bars.
My video card in safe mode shows menu bars as white in light mode and black in dark mode and no weirdness or artifacts which is nice if you are doing anything where you don’t want the accelerated drivers to load and need to do some maintenance to your system.
Real happy with the Titan on a 2008 even if I can’t get 5.0 GT/s.
I got the X4000 kext’s to manually load for my AMD card using Intel SDE. But no change in to the video after it loaded. I restarted the window server and no luck. Used kextload, kextutil and kextstat to check it. I’m missing something but about to call the quits it. Getting a NVIDiA card to cooperate is much easier.

No. Not work a Kepler card thst supports Metal and Mojave drivers.
Once Mojave is released to public there will be NVIDiA web drivers. So most of use that use NVIDiA and have cards should be in great shape.
Anyone using patched drivers may I ave to fight whatever changes Apple makes.
I am not sure if I will run Mojave on my non metal macs or not. I may keep em at HS.
This what it looks like with reduced transparency off which is not bad maybe can figure out how to just turn on transparency for the dock I would be happy with this

Let me add to that, with Mojave sleep is completely broken when waking. It has been like that all 11 builds. I'm hoping that Nvidia web drivers will fix this issue. Or I can mail my 780m to MacVidCards to be flashed. Also with my 27" 2011, one of my displayports do work and I can output 4k@60hz.
The Dosdude1 app downloads the Developer Preview, right? If so, I do not have a paid developer account, so I need the Public Beta, that is freeware for all. That is the point.

It depends. In some parts of the world, it is ok to hackintosh for personal use only, as long as the OS comes from legit sources. I subscribe, mostly, to the Tonymacx86 code of conduct regarding piracy and hackintoshing, as I this quote: ”This site does not condone piracy or the use of illegally acquired software. (...) Piracy is illegal and not tolerated. (...) Building a hackintosh is not illegal as long as you have legally acquired macOS. However by installing macOS on non-Apple hardware is a violation of the Eula. In most countries, violating the terms of the Eula is not illegal as it is a contract. You are advised to consult your local laws before continuing. ” (https://www.tonymacx86.com/rules/) .
