Or anything else that may be crashing?
I tried searching on here, but i couldn't find a result. Has anyone tried this on a Macmini5,2? it says 5,x is supported, but then goes onto say the radium hd 6xxx isn't supported for those other devices, but has no such warning about the HD 6630M in this device. I understand that it should work either way, but will t suffer from the same "unusable performance" problems?

I know you guys are doing a lot on the patcher for Mojave and now Catolina, but I want to know if there was any patches for Final Cut Pro running on Mojave.
I have a 17" 2011 MBP i7 2.2GHz with shared Intel HD Graphics & AMD Radeon HD 6750M card.
When I try to start FCP, I get a message "Graphics configuration not supported". Also adds "This graphics configuration does not support hardware acceleration, which is required to run Final Cut Pro".
Any feedback or help here would be fantastic.
Also, you guys are doing a great job, and I wish the people putting up whinging comments that aren't contributing to your development would go and hide! (to put it mildly).

Well, in that case I can confirm it atleast doesn't crash the OS. Wether it's working is another story, as I run a GTX 670 in my MCP3.1.
Here is your answer right there. You must do an official High Sierra install first before proceeding any further.
Hello,
Not sure what exactly to search in thread to find answer. Was not too successful. On MacBookPro 2008, guess 4,1 the silver one I experience typing and cursor/system freezes. Currently on 10.14.4. Witch all patches that appeared on online.
Sometimes it just freeze during typing and resume after while, sometimes appears popup bubble offering some special characters and sometimes happens that before resume screen shakes a bit.
Dosdude suggested me HW issue with graphic. It was exchanged several years back.
I still hope it is not hw issue. I happens randomly, and rare when not typing. And I found difficult to make it happen intentionally. Long typing to catch the moment resulted into no issue.
Can someone please point to some posts relevant or share any other insight or confirmation it is HW issue.
I had this issue in previous Mojave versions as well and HS as well but in HS it was solved I guess. To long to remember. Or it was in last supported macOS version on MBP 4,1. So not sure about HS now.

I believe demux flash is a permanent solution(you don't have to do it again). That's the big plus.

I think it is a mistake to assume that your issue has anything to do with the "unsupported Mac's" in the first place. The mere fact that you can't find a similar issue in this thread should speak large volumes to you already. It is easy enough to install HS or El Capitan on a partition and see how it behaves. Experimentation is key here.
You do not have graphical acceleration, that's it.
no patch for Final Cut Pro
Solve the graphical acceleration that will work.
Major Issues
AMD Radeon HD 5xxx/6xxx series GPU acceleration"]
Currently, it is not possible to get full graphics acceleration when running Mojave on a system with a Radeon HD 5xxx or 6xxx series video card. Mojave will be almost unusable without graphics acceleration. This includes the 15" and 17" MacBook Pro systems (MacBookPro8,2 and 8,3). If you want to enable GPU acceleration on these machines, you'll need to disable the AMD video card (This will work on MacBook Pro 8,2 and 8,3 systems ONLY. You CANNOT disable the AMD GPU in an iMac.) Weird colors will also be produced when running Mojave with one of these video cards installed/enabled. To disable the AMD GPU on a 2011 MacBook Pro 8,2 or 8,3, follow the guide found here.
I did not notice any difference from the .6b1. CPU diode usually runs at about 50oC, when I watch 4K and 8K videos in IINA player the temperature goes up to about 70oC. I am using Macs fan control.
I'm also having issues with the gpu drivers, after a lot of testing and creating quite some usb's i presume something has changed between the 1.2.3 and 1.3.0 patcher (10.13 patchers work fine as well). I have a 2008 MP3,1 with a efi flashed gtx680 (working boot screens), and only patcher 1.2.3 using up to 10.14.3 create a bootable usb installer. When booting a 1.3.* patched usb stick, the boot progress bar shows fine, until finished, it then kills all video output instead of showing the installer. Same for verbose/safe mode (so no errors), in single user mode video output works fine, since it doesn't seem to initiate the gpu drivers.
Using 1.3.3 with 10.14.5 and removing the nvda*.kext's from /s/l/e on the usb at least allows it to boot the installer with vga output (so i can create a working usb with some modification).
The post installation tools seems to work fine with both the 1.2.3 stick, and 1.3.3 (after removing kexts) to patch a 10.14.5 installation.
I haven't looked into what changed exactly, but My 2010 MBP doesn't have this issue (all usb's work fine without modification). So it seems to be related to something happening with the (patched/older?) nvidia drivers and the gtx680.
Here's what the MB5,1 on .5 sits at but got to 88oC briefly during a transcode fans at 3K, native fan control. Have you re-applied CPU paste?
Yes, I re-applied the thermal paste about 6 month ago. Native fan control is geared more towards quiet operation unfortunately. I only recently adjusted the fan curve and I am very glad I did. The bottom plate of the MacBook does not get hot even after 10 hours of operation. I believe it will help the longevity of the Mac as well.
When extracting the MoBo from the MB which of those connections are the most trouble? I suspect Arctic Silver is overdue for this Macbook w/88oC peak temps? Will try MacFanControl, too - thanks for the tip.
This was the first time I ever done it and the only connector I actually broke is the heatsink temperature sensor(luckily I was able to reattach it to the board). Obviously being very careful is important and give yourself plenty of time. MBP9,2 was actually easier to do but I had to reconnect the keyboard twice(for some reason it might look like it is in but it is really not). Following a youtube video is a good idea but it always looks easier in a video than it is in reality.
Obviously, the person who made the video had done it, previously. Thanks for the tips. Really appreciate the help.
MP3.1 here with flashed GTX 680 (evga one). I used the software update in preferences to move to 14.5 and then patched using usb 1.3.3. All went smoothly but I did not do the full install like you using the usb. Have you got any other card in a slot like the GT120? This can affect Mojave. Also, what GTX 680 are you using? There are some flashed cards that lose one of the video outputs with Mojave and maybe 14.5 triggered that. Did you try to see if one of the other output had the video?
My MacPro 3,1 with EVGA GTX-680 2GB flashed to EVGA official Mac ROMs has no issue with full installs using any of the recent Mojave patchers. As mentioned in the other reply, make sure you aren't accidentally installing the legacy video patches because you have a second non-Metal video card install. The changes that makes to support non-Metal cards will mess up the supported Metal card drivers (because it regresses frameworks to the High Sierra ones).
