What could be that i need to do make this new "platform" i should move as developers moved here.. to get intel hd4600 working with this? I have fakeID on and DSDT injection of IGPU and Inject Intel ON and IntelGFX = 0x04128086.

 

 

What basic working setup could be?

@vit9696 Was looking over your sample SSDT and not seeing anything that I could use to make a SSDT for my Vega 64 card, now WEG does name the device (GFX1) correctly in the IOReg but I was wanting to add properties using the example you have. Here is what my IOReg looks like using WEG for Vega 64. Any suggestion for making a SSDT to match its devices?

This is what I have came ups with, but most of it is not getting injected.

The SSDT example is quite outdated. Now that Clover finally supports injecting device properties in a simple form via Properties in config.plist, you are supposed to stop using ACPI and use device properties similarly to Apple.

 

Yet, if you still want to inject device properties via ACPI, you should use the original name of your GPU, as WhateverGreen only renames the macOS internal device name, preserving ACPI intact and avoiding many issues people cause by attempting to edit or patch their ACPI tables.

 

Also, what you try to inject is utter nonsense, good for you it failed. PP overrides should be named as PP,PP_… and I do not think the connector fields even work like this. And slots/models for HDAU is logically insane.

thank you Pavo. I found out that if I use vega64, my hardware acceleration is fully supported.

[bonilla]

Hello,

 

Could somebody help me ?

I'm on High Sierra 10.13.6

I have a Vapor-X Radeon HD 5770 (Vervet framebuffer).

I can only boot with kext/other -->lilu+whatervergreen+fakesmc, and with the boot arg -radvesa

 

Could someone kindly tell me what clover config should I put ? (or boot args or additionnal kext in SLE or other?)

 

Thanks and have a good day,

 

[123456789323]

Is there any way to let WEG automatically set everything correctly as well in high Sierra and not just by default if you use Mojave ? For example if we use the new MacBook pro special macos version, we also have the newly implemented coffee lake stuff in there... @vit9696

Hello,

 

I recently updated to 10.13.6, and with it I updated all my Kext to the last version, however, I'm getting a pink/magenta tint on my second display. I have been playing around both multiple configurations and I haven't been able to remove it.

 

So far:

• Older versions of Kexts: Gave black screen
• Newer WhateverGreen with latest Shiki, and Lilu: kernel panic, and reboot (even when setting the no reboot option on clover)
• Newer versions, disable Whatevergreen: Pink/Magenta tint
• Newer versions, disable IntelFixup, and Shiki: Pink/Magenta tint.

Mac seems to recognize correctly my Graphic Card: MSI RX 560 AERO ITX 4G OC

 

Any help would be great!

Is there a solution to get the internal display working with a kaby lake HD 620 and an eDP connector on mojave? Currently only backlight works. i found a workaround is to use SKL intelgfx and ig-platform-id but that's only a workaround because i get rare glitches that i don't have with KBL framebuffer.

 

I tried turning off CNConnectorAlwaysConnected but then the screen was all black, not even brightness works.

Edited August 6, 2018 by JHeartyP

[Vampirexx]

with last version of this amazing plugin is it possible to run both discrete gpu (intel + nvidia) on kabylake cpu? Or at least turn off intel and use nvidia instead?

Thanx

[N01r]

i9 7980XE, Geforce 1080ti + 1080ti + 1080

Web Driver 378.10.10.10.25.106

10.13.5

HDMI output

 

Whatevergreen 1.2 + Lilu 1.2.5 always result in random kernel panic (TIMED-OUT WAITING FOR NMI-ACK, PROCEEDING).

Have to remove Whatevergreen to ensure stability.

 

What's the possible solution? My system will run without problems in the absence of Whatevergreen but I'm just curious about this.

(Also with 387 drivers OpenGL won't work at all on my system, have to stay at 378)

What is the exact syntax in Clover to use the enableHDMI20 setting to have working HDMI audio on my card.

[Pavo]

HDMI20 setting isn't for audio, it too support HDMI 2.0 protocol in order to allow 60+Hz frequency for monitors that support 60+Hz frequency. macOS has only supported 30Hz frequency for HDMI until Mojave (10.14).  So in order to be able to use HDMI above 30Hz frequency on your monitor in say High Sierra you would need a GPU that supports HDMI 2.0 and that bootflag enabled for WhateverGreen in order to allow HDMI for 60+Hz frequency.

hi guys. very strange issue here.

I put here the link with a short video. https://mega.nz/#!1AA1nQRA!HEOtRSXE-p9ZPnpCN8AC_NsvBzM0614iKdrzV26JDg4

 

so the issue is this:

I am on 10.13.6.

with my Vega 64 liquid (and even with air version) I can't turn on my projector (linked to Onkyo receiver) because it gives me intermittent signal.

no issue with same setup and gtx 1080/1080 ti

if I remember well, I have no issue in the past with older version of lily and whatever green + shiki.

any idea? any help?

 

edit: just tried with weg 1.7, same situation

edit 2: tried without weg, same situation

try shorter cables to the projector or shielded type cables.

thank you, but this is not the solution.

with my cables, everything is working if I plug it into my MacBook Pro or if I plug it into hack with Nvidia.

 

now I have just tried to connect the projector directly into vega (so monitor + projector) and everything is working.

i have the issue when I connect the projector to av receiver and and then connecting av receiver to Vega (av receiver mandatory for the 7.1 audio)

so it's not the hdmi cable between projector and hack the issue.

tried using hdmi to display port from av receiver to vega, nothing changed

I tried replacing hdmi short cable between av receiver and Vega, nothing changes. now I'm going to try with rx 580 8gb to see what happen

 

 

edit: further data.

no issue with rx 580 8gb (as with 1080ti)

so the issue is related to Vega 64

 

just tried with Vega 64 and windows, everything is working. 

so no cable related, no av receiver related.

 

my conclusion is that it is related to Vega 64 osx driver of 10.13.6 because with or without weg nothing changes

 

@Pavo @vit9696 any idea?

 

nb just to be sure, I just updated the av firmware receiver...nothing changed

 

further data:

Just tried to put my Vega 64 into my x299(iMac pro 1,1) hack (yes, I have a lot of hardware here). no smbios related or platform related

hope you have all the informations needed

As detailed in this official post  Coredisplayfixup, Shiki and IntelFixup are now all depreciated as those functions are now merged with Whatevergren.

If you read the latest realise notes for Whatevergreen it specifically states that use of those kexts in-conjunction with Whatevergreen will result in KP's and display issues.

 

Delete them and just use the latest builds of Lilu + Whatevergreen.

 

Cheers

Jay

[PliSsK]

Both Whatevergreen v1.2.0 and 1.2.1 caused my system to restart towards the end of the OS boot sequence (kernel panic?), just before the log in screen should appear. I noted what the release notes said about merging Shiki with Whatevergreen, and Jay's post above, so I tried removing the Shiki and IntelGraphicsFixUp kexts and using the latest Whatevergreen kext and it worked. Cheers.

Hey guys

 

I finally got around to replacing NvidiaGraphicsFixup with WEG on my desktop hackingtosh system:

 

Specs:

 

ASRock Z97 Extreme 6 Motherboard

i7-4790K CPU / 16 GB RAM

Gigabyte's GT 980 Ti Extreme WaterForce GPU

LG 21:9 Monitor connected via DP

MacOS 10.13.6 with Nvidia WebDrivers Installed ( 287.10.10.10.40.105) Which is the current release according to the Nvidia Driver Manager

Using iMac 13,2 System Definition

 

All 3rd party kext's installed in /L/E

 

Unfortunately the system KP's (bootloop) with Whatevergreen installed (ver 1.2.1) + Lilu 1.2.6 and yes i removed  NvidiaGraphicsFixup, i do not have Shiki installed.

 

I tried the previous versions lilu V 1.2.5 + WEG 1.2.0 but same result (KP)

 

After removing the Whatevergreen kext the system boots fine,

Reinstalled NvidiaGraphicsFixup (V 1.2.7) with Lilu 1.2.6 and system still boots ok.

 

I read that a few other users also had issues with WEG + Nvidia GPU, but was not clear on what the solution was.

 

Whilst the system is running fine with Lilu + NvidiaGraphicsFixup i would like to get to the bottom of the issue as NvidiaGraphicsFixup is no longer being maintained and at some point would like to update to Mojave which will require the use of Whatevergreen. I'm using Whatevergreen with no problems on my laptop and other mini hacks without any issues but they all have Intel IGPU only.

 

Any advice or possible way forward much appreciated

 

Cheers

Jay

 

Update: Found the issue .... rouge copy of NvidiaGraphicsFixup found in Clovers Kexts Folder .. my bad

Hi Support Team (WhatEverGreen or Shiki)

I can't play DRM-protected video on iTunes. iTunes shows black screen and stops position of playing marker at '0'.

Here is my spec:

NVIDIA Geforce 1060 GTX

Intel i5 8400 + UHD 630

 

I have turned on iGPU + Discrete GPU setting on BIOS and seems to work on playing video using iina with hw-decoder perfectly (Imgur)
I also checked VDA Decoder if working using VDADecoderChecker and, it shows 'Intel plugin detected. HW Decoder is fully working' (Imgur)

I try to make it work with the following: I installed the kext WhateverGreen.kext and set boot args with shikigva=12.
Force AppleGVA to use Intel or Nvidia decoder and reset DRM But none of them makes it to work.

It still doesn't work. How do I work on it? Thanks!

Edited August 14, 2018 by awert_65

[laatmaarzien]

With Intel HD 630, it works perfectly for the stock resolutions. But while I could get 1920x1080 at 60Hz in HiDPI with Shiki, IntelGraphicsFixUp; I can't get more than 30Hz in HiDPI with Whatevergreen. Wonder if I am missing a setting.

nvm - should've read more carefully. Sheesh 12 years of Hackintosh'ing and I still don't RTFM.

Figured it out.

With the latest WhateverGreen1.2.1 there is no use in CoreDisplay Fix with high resolution support.

 

I downgrade the WhateverGreen to 1.2.0 and get the CDF Patched support again.

 

Or i tried to add CDF + WhateverGreen1.2.1 together and it works well.

 

So i confim the WhateverGreen1.2.1 have problem in CDF patches.

 

Thanks for your and i hope the new release.

 

Thnaks more.

 

 

Update:

Now i tried to add bootarg with [-cdfon] and the cdf patch come back and works well.

But it was juest said this was a HDMI2.0 Patches.

Or it was disabled the whole CDF patched include high resolution cdf patch by default now?

 

HDMI2.0 disabled by default and i think the cdf for high resolution patch may enable by default and this two function with no confict.

 

Hope the normal cdf patch enable by default.
