When only usable GPU is IntelHD3000 in MBP8,2 is it possible to use an external monitor - in Mojave...?

Thanks for your answer.
So I suppose we will have to re-apply that patch after every system update
Yes - without CoreDisplay it would be game over post .4 (smile)
I just wanted to clarify that the Hybrid patch frameworks are delivered separately and only depend on functioning acceleration via any of the patchers out there (including your inspired method)
Any critical differences so far with .6b1? I haven't had time to peel through the frameworks again? I believe a lot of what's happening in .5 and now .6 is prepping/field testing some 10.15 technologies - especially with marzipan based apps like News - because there are numerous changes in some critical frameworks.
MacBook5,1 is great on 10.14.5, I am comparing its performance against the MBP9,2 and it is identical(The Dark Mode at least). No KP's whatsoever.
Once the 10.14.6 Public Beta becomes available, I will attempt to update MB5,1 without using a Patcher at all(maybe just Legacy Audio Patch).
I can understand that's the most logical explanation, but if there wasn't anything weird going on I wouldn't be posting it. Yesterday I had to boot up from a USB Mojave Installer (clean) to reinstall my system once again because the text scrolling had come back when booting my 2012 iMac. Not even sure it actually created a clean install, Apple has made it much more difficult than it used to be.
No I am running smoothly with 10.14.6 beta 1 so far no KP's News+ still crashes though I have it on both my iMac 9,1 and MacBook 5,2 next week getting a ssd drive for my MacBook 7,1
Thanks for the reply on MB5,1 going to .5 soon. Still waiting for .6b1 to appear on enrolled iMac11,2 CP.
Works fine on my MacBook Pro 8,1 using the same procedure as before.
I am using a patched version of Mojave on my MacBook Air mid 2011 and it works well.
I have a Mac Mini of the same vintage (5,2) that I am using as a headless server. Currently I do not see any reason to upgrade it to Mojave.
Does anybody know of any reasons that makes the upgrade worthwhile for this application?

No. In fact you're better off sticking with High Sierra if you use MacOS Server.
Is there any way to customize the original High Sierra NVIDIA drivers for Mojave?
The standard Mojave drivers for my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 running on a Mac Pro 3.1 work well, but the real NVIDIA drivers for High Sierra were much faster then.
I use a DJ program from Pioneer called rekordbox. In High Sierra with the NVIDIA drivers, this was very fast and without any graphical delays. But now with Mojave, scrolling through the tracklists is very sluggish and slow. The general performance is nevertheless fine. But I miss the original drivers from NVIDIA very much.
My Mac Pro also comes with a 2 TB SSD drive, so there should not be any delays here.

Hi Zab - my response was not meant sarcastically or facetiously at all. Apologies if it sounded like it.
Now, for sure your source system got affected in some way since it's booting differently. Unless you turn on some nvram bootargs or boot up in single user, the startup should be scrolling text free.
On a patched unsupported system with APFS you get some scrolling text from the patched EFI. That's normal.
What text is scrolling? Can you tell?
If you wiped your disk before doing a full install it is clean. Overwriting is usually good enough, but some of us muck around with the base system, bootlegs, nvram kernel etc. enough that a clean wipe + nvram reset is the easiest way to start back at square 1.
Good luck.

.6b1 came out so quickly that Apple must have scrambled to fix something internally.
I will have a (beta) .5 compatible set of hybrid patches ready this weekend. Can you do some testing for me? As usual, it's safe and won't break anything but I want you to try it with your favorite 32 bit apps on all your machines. Thanks.
What is it serving? Files or is it used as a co-processing server somehow?
Yes I will I thought it was a fast release 2 days after 10.14.5 final but it was running smooth as well
News crashes within 10 seconds. Siri and Chess ok. 32bit apps still ok, performance tantamount to .5. Used Patcher 1.3.2. The Beta DL was only 1.8 GB.
That did the trick. I was trying to reinstall the legacy video patch by rebooting into the installer which didn't work, but re-installing using Patch Updater did the trick. Thank you, it works great!
first of all thanks to all those who work on these fantastic patches I have now updated my macpro 3.1 mojave to 10.14.5 today and everything is fine except one problem no longer sees the second monitor. The video card is an Nvidia gtx680 and with the old mojave everything worked. I have an eizo monitor connected via display port and an acer connected in hdmi. Can anyone help me?? thank you all
Same problem here, i have a Mac Pro 3,1 (2x 2,8 Quad, 16 GB, Nvidia GT 120 512 MB / GTX 760 2GB)
After the OTA update from 10.14.5 to 10.14.6 Public Beta 1, I was unable to boot by typing these command in cmd+s mode:
nvram boot-args="-no_compat_check"
rm -R /System/Library/UserEventPlugins/com.apple.telemetry.plugin
So I boot into the Mojave Patcher 1.2.3 and applied these patches from the post-install tool. So far, so good.
nvram boot-args="-no_compat_check"
rm -R /System/Library/UserEventPlugins/com.apple.telemetry.plugin
So I boot into the Mojave Patcher 1.2.3 and applied these patches from the post-install tool. So far, so good.
Anyone who upgrades to 10.14.5 and has a MacBook7.1 and MacBookPro7.1 should not select any USB or iSight Patch in Post-Install or later. @dosdude1 You can upgrade your patcher, please
They work but technically the "nvram variable" is to avoid "on-the-fly" the prohibitory symbol without "nano edit" any "com.apple.boot.plist", and after the OTA or full re-install it should be done from single user mode but targeting from startup manager any OSX USB Installer with CMD+S, let's say entering in a "Recovery Shell" single user more, or directly loading the USB GUI Installer and launching Terminal.
You can enter from any OSX Installer into a single user mode Shell to where type and set the nvram value.
If you intend to apply the C2D fix from a USB Installer Shell environment the command becomes this:
mount -uw /
rm -R /Volumes/YourMojaveLabel/System/Library/UserEventPlugins/com.apple.telemetry.plugin
But but as I told you, it's since .5 beta 4 that the trick of removing the GL Driver don't work more to reach the desktop, and from that release appears mandatory to replace the 3 non-metal-accel Frameworks to land in GUI Mode, then most of preliminary patches should be done from single user mode for manual patching or comfortably from the dosdude1 Post-Install.

Hello, thanks for the great work you have done with the Mojave patched version! especially @dosdude1
I've just installed version 10.14.5 in my Mid 2009 MacBook Pro (5,4) and everything is great except for a small problem.
As soon as I play a youtube video in Safari connected to my bluetooth external speakers, I get a one second audio delay! I've already checked and reinstalled all bluetooth devices, and I'm the sure the problem is not there.
Playing videos using integrated speakers go fine, the problem is as soon as I use muy bluetooth external speakers.
Anyone has faced this problem before??? Please any help or suggestions??
Thanks in advance!

Hi everybody,
I just found the solution for the F1 and F2 keys that did not change the backlight control on 20" iMac 8.1 early 2008 under .3 .4 and .5
I started by applying the "bkltpatch10.14.2" but KP.
I then put back the 3 files that I had saved and restarted without KP.
Finally I only replaced "DisplayServices.framework" of "bkltpatch10.14.2" in /S/L/PrivateFrameworks (and repaired the permissions) and now the backlight decreases with the F1 key and increases with F2.

Hello to all.
MacBook Pro 5,2 (mid 2009) T9900 model
Installed 10.14.5 (final) on one partition, and 10.14.6 beta1 on another; both via OTA pathway, using Dosdude1's Mojave Patcher 1.3.1.
Both installation went without problems, though I had to rerun post-install patches 10.14.6 beta.
Machine runs flawlessly, as long as neither News application nor Safari are launched. News.app crashes as does, predictably, Safari. That's been a long standing problem, which seems to affect some MacBook Pros.
What's new, is an inability to switch between graphic cards; I am running on the GeForce 9600M GT 512 MB, and can't seem to switch to the 258 MB variant. Hence, I can't test whether switching to the 9400M 258 MB card still causes KPs.
Has anyone noted same problem(s) in their MacBook Pro 5,2, or a machine with similar hardware ?
Thanks.
