any success stories with UefiSeven ? #25

has anyone been able to use UefiSeven & install a working graphics driver (other than the default system VGA) & been able to use resolutions higher than 1024x768 ? uefiseven_vga_monitor

I highly doubt uefiseven has anything to do with your lack of drivers for your graphics card.

I am not so sure about this. looking at the issues here, there is no success story other than mine.

that's why I am looking for any other success story, which so far, I haven't been able to locate.

I understand that the UefiSeven user community is small and mainly focused on VMs.

my struggle is with a real hardware, an Intel 9th Gen UHD 600 that Snappy Driver Installer along with the DriverPacks community claim they do have a working unsigned driver (I don't know if & where it has been tested. my system is pure UEFI boot only).

my efforts so far, to successfully install a graphics driver have failed with error Code 43 even when successfully using EfiGuard in conjunction with UefiSeven in order to disable PatchGuard and Driver Signature Enforcement

thank you for the feedback enigma131.

under normal VGA, did you achieve resolutions higher to 1024x768 (I think this is not possible under UefiSeven)

where you able to find & install drivers for your UHD630 & if yes, can you share a link to them ?

Not tested resolution for Vga, and vga.sys I did rarely use it, he's not signed so no secure boot even with uefiseven. My driver is comming from here: https://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/event/H310_windowstool/win7_8th_i3_i5_Driver_2.0.rar . You need to register the .reg file for valid signature, and after it pass secure boot. My mother board: Gigabyte H310M S2P 2.0 (rev 1.0) + cpu/gpu i3-9100 (Coffe Lake) Good luck

My Acer Aspire V3-771G is fine, i3-2348M Intel HD 3000.

It seems like UEFISeven hates Radeon cards, as confirmed on my 8470p.

enigma131 commented 1 year ago

Linux hates Amd and Nvidia too, that's the story. No more material from them here.

thank you enigma131 & WeeGeeDaOne for the feedback

unfortunately I am out of luck with my UHD 600 (DEV_3185) GPU. it looks like there are no working modded drivers for this chip. I am suspecting that even manatails could not find one either. thereof, display is stuck at 1024x768 & no acceleration.

Edit: it looks like you may be able to patch your desired resolution from this forum post

I had success though on a Celeron G5905 (UHD 610) with win64_15.45.33.5164_mod.zip drivers (still active here & here). EfiGuard is your friend on installing unsigned drivers, especially on a UEFI Class 3 system, meaning no CSM capability.
