WhatEverGreen Support Topic

WhateverGreen received some fixes to improve the situation for mid-level Polaris and 7xxx GPUs as of 10.13.4.

The changes are reflected in the changelog: https://github.com/vit9696/WhateverGreen/blob/master/Changelog.md

I'd suggest you to compile the current kext (yes, it has been fully open source for some time now), and report if you got new issues that were not present as of 1.1.4 version.

 

I wrote a reasonably complete changelog for AMD 10.13.4 drivers in Russian, but as a TL;DR if Google TL is incomprehensible:

 

For those who wonder whether 10.13.4 fix the black screen issue, the answer is: partly. It does fix it for X4000 GPUs, but not for X3000 GPUs. It also brings several new issues like not working HDMI and DP ports and brings sleep issues (due to enforced 6 connectors) to all Polaris GPUs, which have less, instead of just 560 like in the past.

 

 

If your GPU works perfectly fine without WhateverGreen, framebuffer injection, hacky patches, plist editing, and alike, you may indeed not use it. Otherwise I would recommend sticking to WhateverGreen than experimenting. There unfortunately is a lot of misunderstanding on how AMD GPUs should be used, and the manuals are often very misleading.

hi,vit9696,,rx580 can work oob wihtout whatevergreen but its device name displays pegp not gfx0..so in this case, whatevergreen is still needde? thank you

For correction of PEGP to GFX0 it is necessary to include FixDisplay and AddDTGP in clover

@Hackmac101 i now use 1.1.5 whatevergreen and no problems...

test it but no success

You have to compile the DEBUG version of Lilu and place it inside the root directory of Whatevergreen then edit the scheme to build release version of Whatevergreen.

Thanks! 

I downloaded the debug version of lilu https://github.com/vit9696/Lilu/releases and copied in root of Whatevergreen source . Also worked to compile WEG  

[robertr]

I keep boting to black screen and would like to try Whatevergreen 1.1.5 but don't know how to compile or where to find it.

 

I'm using an Asus rog strix RX580 TOP on an HP Z800 motherboard (BIOS 3.60).

The ACPI doesn't seem to be in order but I will need help to fix that too.

Still booting to black screen, probably not a Whatevergreen problem anyways.

[xtddd]

Haven't tested myself.

i use 1.1.5 whatevergreen for rx580 and boot faster than before..

[robertr]

I don’t know what the problem is. I could get my old GTX 970 to work easily but the RX 580 just turns black.

Getting these messages towards the end of boot but don’t know what it means:

 

How do I get the debug logs for whatevergreen?

Have you tried removing the Nvidia drivers it look old like they are still loading which could explain things. Also update clover for latest VHBox drivers?

I uninstalled the Nvidia web drivers and checked with Clover updater.. it's version 4392. Should I change something about Clover?

U try a 1.1.5 version?

Here we go

Ur DSDT full patched, take a shot

Wow, thanks a LOT for helping. ??

It looks a lot better now, attaching screenshot.

Graphics card looks like it's in the first slot (Slot0) when it's in the second (Slot1).

The screen is still black but it seemed to me it blinked more (twice, quickly?) before going black.

Do you want me to upload some logs or something?

In that case, please be quite specific about what and how to produce them.

via PM, here is a whatevergreen topic

[jalavoui]

idk if this already done in WhatEverGreen but i've done a patch that works for bugged bios connectors

 

i've got a bios with gaps in connectors

 

the problem is it as only 3 conn but they're out of order  (1,2 and a gap - conn 3 is at 6th position)

 

this makes a great black screen at boot

 

maybe u guys wanna check it and apply the patch (check my ati debug thread)

 

this if for 10.11 and 10.12 only

[Marovincian]

Could anyone suggest how I can address this?

Hey guys,

 

I have a RX 560 with macOS 10.13.

I get a freeze every few hours. The mouse can be move and i can listen music but screen is freezing. Its very strange.

 

maybe one has a idea how to fix, i add my clover config.

Did you find a solution for this? Experiencing the same problem here

[Un!x]

Did you find a solution for this? Experiencing the same problem here

 

Yes, change your SMBIOS to MacPro6,1

[4l3x88]

Yes, change your SMBIOS to MacPro6,1

 

Oh ok, will try it! Now I've 17.1 since matches my Skylake 6700K, thank you!

[Un!x]

Oh ok, will try it! Now I've 17.1 since matches my Skylake 6700K, thank you!

 

Okay  

[inequals]

Just updated to 1.1.5 released a few hours ago, and I'm pleased to say my RX 460's HDMI port is now working for my secondary display (recently I had to stick to using the DVI port - my main has always been a 4K display via DP). Erm, great! Thanks! I still can't quite get over how well my Hackintosh works especially as I bought some of the parts so blindly (in particular, I feel I lucked out choosing this GPU, not for power obviously but for lack-of-headaches. One day I'll need an NVIDIA GPU for some hardcore VR stuff, and damn in some ways I'm not looking forward to it!) Ramble over 

[vit9696]

idk if this already done in WhatEverGreen but i've done a patch that works for bugged bios connectors

 

i've got a bios with gaps in connectors

 

the problem is it as only 3 conn but they're out of order  (1,2 and a gap - conn 3 is at 6th position)

 

this makes a great black screen at boot

 

maybe u guys wanna check it and apply the patch (check my ati debug thread)

 

this if for 10.11 and 10.12 only

Hi, do you mean this topic? http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/322146-ati-radeon-unsupported-cards-debugging/

A connector gap you meanioned, will it completely prevent AMD kexts from reading it? Or will they just mess some stuff up?

In WhateverGreen one could pass custom connectors and set connector-priority to workaround such issues, but I am not sure if that works in your case.

[Hackmac101]

I have HD530 + iMac17,1

With 1.1.5 and above, if I use ig-platform-id 0x19120000, I will boot into black screen. If I use 0x19020001, no problem.

 

No such problem before 1.1.5.
