A Details Information about buying a Desktop Component or Laptop for Hackintosh.Making Hackintosh is not easy but you can get nearly supported hardware to run as fine as possible.Compatible Hardware will make your Hackintosh 90% close to a real Mac. CPU: Intel: All CPUs starting from Intel Core 2 Duo upto newer CPUs are supported. AMD: Most AMD CPU are supported but its required modified kernel(legacy kernel) GPU: Most important part of the Hackintosh IS GPU aka Graphics.But with Dedicated or Intel iGPU you can have what you want.For laptop has dual GPU you have to use either one.
Integrated GPU (iGPU): With Mavericks, these iGPUs are native support: Intel HD Graphics on 1st Generation Intel Core i Processor (Arrandale, need some kexts editing ) Intel HD 2500 (Rarely works,use pjalm dsdt patch ) Intel HD 3000 on 2nd Generation Intel Core i Processor ( Sandy Bridge ) Intel HD 4000 on 3rd Generation Intel Core i Processor ( Ivy Bridge ) Intel HD 4400 (laptop only) /4600/5000/Iris on 4th Generation Intel Core i Processor ( Haswell ) Please note that desktop HD4000 and above only works with QE/CI if you connect by DVI/HDMI/DP ports, no QE/CI on VGA port. These iGPUs are not supported by OS X. Intel 4500/X3100 and earlier Intel HD Graphics on 2ndGeneration Intel Pentium/Celeron and later Intel HD 2000 Intel HD 4400 Desktop (Rarely works) Discrete GPU: Laptops with AMD Switchable Graphics or nVidia Optimus with both Intel HD + AMD/nVidia card will only be able to use Intel HD, unless you have the option to turn off Intel HD in BIOS.
Guys i need help i installed mavericks 10.9 distro and everything went well i even updated to 10.9.3 and everything working smoothly the problem i had from the beginning is graphics my processor is intel pentium B960 sandy bridge motherboard i googled and it says it have intel hd graphics that is based on the clocked at 650 / 1100 (with Turbo Boost). It shows device vendor 8086 and device id 0x0106 is there is any chance or hope to get QE/CI support on this device? Or should i just give up please!! Guys i tried allot of forums and they just ignored me.
If you have a Hackintosh running Mac OS X Lion, it's pretty easy to. However, Mac OS X Lion doesn't natively support Intel's HD 2000 graphics, so Hackintoshes with HD 2000 have been out of luck- until now.
Intel Hd Graphics 2000
Thanks to recent developments, it is now possible to enable HD 2000 graphics on Hackintoshes running Mac OS X Lion, by replacing several default graphics kexts with modified versions and installing a modified version of Chameleon bootloader. To make things clear, this is not full support.
Mac OS X does not work with HD 2000 graphics natively, so the best you can do is trick OS X into thinking that it does. This allows HD 2000 to display Mac OS X at full resolution, but graphics acceleration still doesn't work.
Intel Hd Graphics 2000 Resolution
Without graphics acceleration, you can't run any games, or apps that require serious graphics power (like video editors). Find out if your processor is supported. If you want to find out whether your Intel processor uses HD 2000 or 3000, you can Google the model of your processor. For example, if you search 'Core i5-2500' on Google, the first result is. According to the 'Graphics Specifications' section of that page, the Intel Core i5-2500 uses 'Intel® HD Graphics 2000'.
If you have 'Intel® HD Graphics 3000', check out. If your processor only has 'Intel® HD Graphics', it isn't supported by Mac OS X. Additionally, your computer's motherboard has to support integrated graphics.
P67 motherboards are the only type of motherboard for Intel 2nd-generation processors that don't support integrated graphics; all other types of motherboards should work. Install Chameleon Bootloader Chameleon Bootloader is the most popular bootloader for Hackintoshes. For those of you who don't know, the bootloader is the program that boots Mac OS X. Chameleon is an open-source project, meaning that there are a lot of different versions of it (including Chimera, which is tonymacx86's version of Chameleon). For this guide, you need to download a version of Chameleon that has been modified to inject the device ID of your HD 2000 graphics into Mac OS X Lion's graphics drivers. Go to /System/Library/Extensions in your Hackintosh's hard drive, and delete all of the files that have the same name as the files from your downloaded folder.
If you don't want to delete them, you can also just move them to somewhere else on your hard drive (as a backup). Then, copy the files from your downloaded folder into /System/Library/Extensions. Fix file permissions/install a system definition If you don't already have it on your Hackintosh,. You have to register on tonymacx86.com first to download it. Open Multibeast, and install 'System Utilities' and 'Mac mini' system definition.
'System Utilities' fixes the permissions of the new files that you added in the previous step. A system definition pretends that your Hackintosh is a real Mac. When Mac OS X Lion sees that your Hackintosh is a 'Mac mini', it enables the built-in HD 3000 drivers (which you have modified to work with HD 2000). You can also use the 'Macbook Pro 8,1' system definition, though 'Mac mini' is generally recommended.
I'm on a hackintosh laptop running Yosemite 10.10.1 w/ X3100 graphics. I found X3100 64-bit kexts that do appear to load, and are shown loaded in kextstat. I see QE & CoreImage seemingly working; screensavers Flurry & LotsaWater are smooth & normal, Chess.app has full functionality in 3d, so I'm assuming I have QE & CoreImage. OpenGL doesn't appear to work. OpenGL Extensions Viewer tests show horrible frame rates in single digits. Maps crashes, VLC has no video, only audio.
Google Earth works but seems to slow system, jerky zoom, etc. It seems 'so close' to fully functional, any OpenGL patches for X3100 would be extremely appreciated.
How about Safari on web sites with lots of graphics animations or CTRL-UP/CTRL-DOWN/CTRL-LEFT/CTRL-RIGHT actions? Can you open DVDPlayer? If so, check the supported features (through Help menu). If you have full graphics support/acceleration, you'll get same report as per attached screenshot.
If you have Apple Developper Tools (XCode), try & run the Quartz Debug app, that's supposed to activate QuartzGL, deactivated by default since ML I understand. But I doubt it'll change anything. For OpenGL, it's not a matter of patches, it's a matter of libraries used by the OS, most notably newer ones (OpenGL3.3, OpenGL4.x, OpenCL).
If the underlying GPU is not compatible, there's nothing to be done. Unless some sort of God pretends he can rewrite ML/Mav/Yos (this extends to apps provided with the OS) to call only on libraries previously used in say SL or Lion. But then, just run SL or Lion. Intel GMA950/X3100 support OpenGL up to v1.4/v2.1 only. You may find the following OpenGL GPU comparison interesting: SL was mostly relying on OpenGL2.1 and Lion introduced support for some OpenGL3.2 features.
From ML, Apple decided to shake up & modernise the graphics capabilities of its OS and target OpenGL4. I'm on a hackintosh laptop running Yosemite 10.10.1 w/ X3100 graphics. I found X3100 64-bit kexts that do appear to load, and are shown loaded in kextstat. I see QE & CoreImage seemingly working; screensavers Flurry & LotsaWater are smooth & normal, Chess.app has full functionality in 3d, so I'm assuming I have QE & CoreImage.

OpenGL Extensions Viewer tests show horrible frame rates in single digits. Maps crashes, VLC has no video, only audio. Google Earth works but seems to slow system, jerky zoom, etc. It seems 'so close' to fully functional, any OpenGL patches for X3100 would be extremely appreciated. I don't know?
I downloaded these 64-bit x3100 kexts from here: On my Dell Inspiron 1525 w/x3100 running Yosemite 10.10.1 I appear to have full graphics acceleration. I've checked several ways: I've looked at all the screensaver such as Lotsawater & Flurry, they're fine. Wonderful life korean drama songs.
I've used Launchpad with the Option key to jiggle all the little icons. I've played Chess with the 3d rotation in voice command. All works fine.
Acceleration seems intact. When I start, in the verbose dialog I see the driver.x3100 kext panic, and list a couple other kexts like IOPCI in the dependencies of the short panic text, but after the boot completes, with I run Terminal kextstat I see that both the x3100 driver & framebuffer are loaded correctly, and my acceleration test good in everything I can thing of, other than Flash Player. When Adobe Flash Player 16.0.0.235 or 16.0.0.240 has an embedded frame within a Safari Facebook window, the playback of the video is sometimes slightly wrong, sometimes black w/audio, sometimes white w/audio, sometimes normal. When black or white, the overlays are correct, including ads. If I uncheck the box 'Use Graphics Acceleration' in the Flash Player settings only then do the embedded windows play correctly.
Without these x3100 kexts my graphics were showing as x3100 4MB instead of x3100 144MB. AFAIK I believe I have full 64-bit Yosemite x3100 acceleration. I used Yosemite Zone installer on an AMD Desktop PC, upgraded to 10.10.1 without issues, and then cloned that system onto the Inspiron 1525 SSD, changing the kernel, the SMBIOS, DSDT, etc. To the correct ones for the Intel Inspiron instead of the AMD desktop. Right now, I believe I have 100% functionality with the exception of iMessages sign-in, and a little bit finicky ALPS trackpad. I have 100% sound, 98% video, no crashing apps. I thought this Inspiron 1525 was DONE at 10.8.5 using kexts modified by SFOTT running 32-bit, I NEVER expected to run 64-bit Yosemite on this old laptop, but so far it's cruising fine.
Thanks to the kexts from the above download. How about Safari on web sites with lots of graphics animations or CTRL-UP/CTRL-DOWN/CTRL-LEFT/CTRL-RIGHT actions? Can you open DVDPlayer? If so, check the supported features (through Help menu).

Hopefully it will be less laggy and at least wide screen resolution. Nothing to lose at this point. Will figure out that pacifist thingy.
I'm still hoping Archer will just give me the kexts. The reason is I found some and tried it, and even with GraphicsEnabler=No, IGPEnabler=Yes, I got black screen. Need to know exact kexts.
Then funny thing is I don't see the kexts / bundles in S/L/E. It's like they disappeared but still lurking somewhere and I have to do complete reinstall. Click to expand. Hello buddy Can we get a working link to these kexts As it'll b very helpfull And one thing which can come handy for everyone who are stuck with x3100 See here Now Yosemite is pretty smooth genie effect works like charm So combination of 144mb graphics + beamoff VS 3 mb graphic + beamoff I think first one is better So please guys provide me with a working link of these x3100 kexts I just wanna try it out N u can also go ahead n try beamoff N post the result here Hope this helps.
