If you have successfully enabled native resolution on your display, it is now time to enable partial acceleration.

Hello! Firstly, I would like to thank you for the explanation you have made, Thank you!
But I had some problems, the first is the same as the 1536MB ID system of my Intel Graphics 4400 it starts to give several errors in Google Chorme and Whatsapp.
These bugs are like image flaws.
And the other problem, that was using a VDA.
How can I solve both problems?
** Sorry, I’m Brazilian and I don’t speak very well
Hi. Can you explain or give me a screenshot? Is Your graphics working with full QE/CI?
Hi! So, about the system acceleration everything is great, it is super fast, I had no slowness after I updated the kext.
The bugs that are happening are these that appear in the images below. I even made a video showing what happens, sometimes everything is normal and nothing comes back.
I already checked my “Flat” cable from my computer and it is OK.

Hi. This is a problem with Kext. You should install another kext to fix this problem!
Hi, So which Kext do you need to change? Do you have a website or how can you download and upgrade?
Hello! I can’t find Config.plist in the archive. Could you help please?
You can create this file when install new bootloader. I’ll check!

I have a question this tutorial is working with a intel hd 4000 desktop and z77 chipsed with intel core i7 3770k ? thanks
I think it’s working with your card. Try!
Bro i am Really really Thankful to you………I saw several posts but it didnt work….But You saved me…Thanks So much….
I have a odd issue with this graphics card. I went thru the steps mentioned and it works only if the kext are loaded into S\L\E also only if I happen to boot with -x if I boot without it panics and will repeat the last panic error. And then to get it to boot as normal without -x being added I have to uncheck the inject Intel to get to boot normal but then it brings the graphics back to 5MB. Do you have any idea as to what is causes said issue.
What is your Bootloader? Mount EFI partition then copy your kext to Bootloader folder?
I was tired and almost giving up.. But your post saved me! TKS!
I have an N5050 laptop with an HD3000 .. I dropped the config files in the EFI/Clover folder and I see them in clover, I’ve tried them all with no success
I get stuck at IOConsolUsers:gIoScreenLockState 3, hs0, bs 0, now 0, sm 0x0
I’m running Sierra ( latest version as of 10/10/2017
The only way I can boot up is my using a fake id of 0x12345678 and it’s in low resolution.
It doesn’t work on my Laptop Lenovo z40-70
