ASUS VivoBook S530Fn - iGPU Performance Issues + HDMI Fix about hackintosh-asus-s5300fn

[Jie2GG]

Regarding the HDMI interface not working:

1. using model “MacBookPro 15,2” or “MacBookPro 15,4” (I recommend the latter) in Laptop
2. Change the “BusId” of Index2 Port to 0x02 and type of HDMI

Regarding other the “FrameBuffer” some advices on patch :

• Advanced

  • DVMT pre-alloc 32MB
  • Disable eGPU ( using “SSDT-DisableGPU” cut off the power of GPU)
  • DP -> HDMI
  • Use Intel HDMI
  • Hotplug Reboot Fix
  • HDMI Infinite Loop Fix
  • Spoof Audio Device ID
  • VRAM 2048MB
  • Enable HDMI20 (4K)
  • GfxYTile Fix
  • USB Port Limit
  • DPCD Max Link Rate
  • Framebuffer Port Limit
  • Inject Fake IGPU

• LSPCON
  OFF, Laptop not support device

Let me explain why:
1. Laptop of HDMI port is 1.4 protocol, unable using 4K@60Hz. but “HDMI Infinite Loop Fix” + “Enable HDMI20 (4K)” can Enable 4K@50Hz output, so I recommend.
2. using 0x3EA50009 in iGPU, can solve HiDPI error display.

Thanks for your feedback

When I set my iGPU to "Intel iris 655", my HDMI works well at 2K / 4K resolution.
But I didn't know it was bring a performance issue.
When I try to set it to “UHD”630, the HDMI output 2K / 4K resolution will a flower screen appears.
Lead to can’t using HiDPI resolution.

so I proposal your should first test HDMI output is normal working. My also will test my iGPU work frequency is it normal.

Thanks again for your feedback

Hi. When I plug an HDMI Cable into the Port the Laptop Reboots. It reboots each time I connect the HDMI Cable and even if I boot with the HDMI Cable inserted it doesn't recognize anything (it's like there's no cable attached at all). I tried to boot with the HDMI Cable inserted and went to Hackintool to see if the System was detecting the Cable and it wasn't showing up.

Also, I forgot to mention 2 things: that the screen sometimes shows these wierd lines in Telegram App. It doesn't happen in Linux or in Windows 10.

And that the F6/F7 keybindings to control the keyboard led's don't work but the led's themselves are always lit. I tried to remap them using Karabiner (since I use it to remap some missing buttons on PT-PT keyboards) and it's showing this:

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks once again for all your work 😊

EDIT 1: i noticed i had some kexts that weren't updated. I'll update them and see if it gets the thing going

EDIT 2: every kext it fully updated and I can't control the Keyboard LED's. I tried to uninstall Karabiner to see it would help but it's still not working. It's strange because a few days ago it was working and Yesterday when I booted it up in the morning i couldn't control them

Hello, I have looked at your problem and suggested the following solution

Question
Your HDMI is not working of Notebook

Solution
Because our notebook models are similar. I think your computer HDMI interface located ‘index: 2’ (0x06 of physical port). so, your can set the “busID” of index 2 to 0x02 and set the “Type” of index 2 to HDMI in Hackintool.
As shown in the following figure.

Question
Your Fn+F6/F7 Unable to adjust keyboard led of Notebook

Solution
Your need to use ‘AsusSMC.kext’ and ‘SSDT-AsusSMC.aml’ to modify the keyboard mapping (It doesn’t work perfectly on Catalina). These files exist in my EFI. At the same time, in order to make SSDT effective. your must refer to my ‘config.plist’. Add the corresponding patch to your config.

PS: Before using ‘SSDT-AsusSMC.aml’, you need to undo the changes to the keyboard backlight in the DSDT.

Hi. I only got the Laptop with me since yesterday.

The Keyboard Backlight started working again using Fn+F6 and Fn+F7 [Decrease / Increase] and required 0 workarounds - I guess it was due to some old kext version...
Regarding the HDMI: I tried what you advised me (switching Port Index 2 to "HDMI")

and I removed some options to make it not reboot after HDMI Cable plugged in using Hackintool:

• Disabled "VRAM 2048MB" + "Enable HDMI20 (4K)" - I don't use 4K External Display

By doing so now the Laptop won't reboot each time I try to plug the HDMI Cable... But now theres something good: the External Monitor now detects that there's something connected but theres still no HDMI Output to my External Monitor...

Anything else I can try here? Thanks for everything

Thanks! It's finally working!!!
I forgot to change Busid to 0x02 and once I plugged in HDMI Cable it started to appear in System Information as NVIDIA (meaning it was pointing at Disabled MX150).

Once I sorted it out I got it working (except that Magenta Color which I'm about to fix next using Forced RGB Mode/EDID Patch)

Screenshots of Everything Working:


Once again, thank you for everything

Final Picture of Everything Working:

@Jie2GG You can add to the "Working List" the following: Instant Hotspot, Handoff, Universal Clipboard, AirDrop and Apple Watch Unlocking. They've been working without issues on my side for over 3 months 😉

Your can using “SSDT-OffGPU” GPU of power off, ACPI file in my EFI.
