macOS High Sierra - Final Release is out! (17A365)

Hi @mnfesq

For me the Brightness Slider.app from App store made the exact same work as the slider in system preferences

I have not seen diferances

 

I have that app too.  The thing is, even though I have a slider and I can move the slider button, doing so does not change screen brightness.  That's the problem.  I'm beginning to wonder if, for some reason, the patched AppleBacklight.kext is not loading properly or if the patch is not working for me.

Ha ok 

The Brightness Slider.app works for me but not the one from the preference System

I have installed Sierra 10.12.3 today to see the diferance because in 10.12.3 it works

I had the injector kext in L/E.  I tried the one you posted (thank you very much) in S/L/E.  No change.  I still have the slider but it doesn't adjust the brightness of the screen.

This is my clover folder that i use successfully to boot High Sierra with working brightness, battery etc...

Is anyone having issues with the instant reboot from wake on Browadwell cpus?

Thanks for posting it.  It looks pretty similar to mine but mine is an Ivy Bridge (old, like me.). I'll have to try some of your patches/kexts but I don't think they will make any difference.  I'm wondering if I am missing some OEM SSDT that defines BCL, BCM, etc. that I haven't found and patched to replace GFX0 to IGPU.  There must be something about my setup that keeps it from working when I follow the instructions for the tutorial to the letter.  That was why I started with a new DSDT.  Maybe I should try extracting my OEM ACPI files from scratch and start over with everything fresh.  Tomorrow is another day, and with another day, new things to try out.

Thanks a lot man unfortunately I ran out of my quota for positive votes 

rx 580 works fine on my rig..it is time to use amd graphics..

I always was a fan of AMD graphics but the black screen issue forced me to switch to nVidia (it was before I knew that the WhateverGreen kext is being developed); But know that the AMD GPUs are back in the game it seems logical to switch back to them.

disable csm on bios or delete csm.efi from clover can solve black screen problems....

Need to try. After short sleep no issues

Hm could be my cpu/motherboard then. What clover version?

4233. And it's not just Clover, it's about DSDT and SSDT and some kernel patches. Check EFI from my page about ASRock x99m Extreme 4

without the need of the whatevergreen? You mean AMD GPUs are working OOB?

Slider from system preferences works fine for me in Sierra 10.12.6 and High Sierra.

It looks like a DSDT/SSDT issue to me.

DSDT needs to be opened with ACPI 6.0, otherwise you'll get errors.

I'm thinking this OEM SSDT (revised to change GFX0 to IGPU) is the culprit.  I have PEGP turned off using the REG patch for DSDT and the INI patch for SSDT.  Still, this SSDT is designed to enable GPU switching.  If I remove the PEGP scopes, I get about 140 errors because the IGPU sections make numerous references to PEGP in "if-then" arguments, which I assume is to enable switching.  I don't know if I can drop this SSDT and still get video to load.  I'll keep on experimenting.

Installed hSierra using APFS on another partition from a Single Disk with Legacy-GPT Partition Scheme.

I just got "Unknown" Partition Map Type shown on SysInfo. Am I the only one here?

Nope you're not the only one.

I'm on UEFI on a HDD with APFS

Same here on my laptop with UEFI+APFS. 10.13.1 Beta 2.

Nope you're not the only one.

I'm on UEFI on a HDD with APFS

Ah OK, glad to know   LoL.., though it just works well.. NP at all.

BTW, are you using single shared EFI partition to be used for all ur OSes on one mach?

I remember, recently full erased empty HDD to an APFS with it's own EFI for hSierra only.. but got no "Unknown" partition map type.

Yes there is no effect on the performance, and yes I use a single EFI partition for all my OSes, although I have another backup EFI partition on another HDD just in case along with another one on USB disk

Also on SysInfo - Graphics/Displays section >> anyone get it 'Yes' for "Automatically Adjust Brightness"? For Laptop user, with Intel HD Graphics maybe?

If I was not wrong or still remember using prev. laptop with Intel HD, if set to be "No", my PNLF for Brightness Slider doesn't work at all (but Fn Key + Brightness Up-Down both work) << this happened since Sierra 10.12.4 till (now) 10.13.1 Beta 2. But PNLF patch within DSDT for it, works under 10.11.x and below; CoreBrightness issue, or DisplayService? IDK. Thanks.

JESUS IS IT JUST ME OR ALL YOU GUYS BANNED FROM TONYMAC86 SITE ANY WAY I FIXED THE WEBDRIVER PROBLEMGREAT {censored} NEWS TO ALL MY FRIENDS AT INSANLEYMAC  THAT MEANS 

LOKI THOR ODIN LUCYF3R 4CHAN AND THE OTHER NEGGERS TOO AND KDP 

ESPECIALLY CHRIS1111 EVEN THOUGH YOU NEGGERS BANNED ME I FIXED 

THE WEBDRIVER IT WORKS ON THE TITAN-X SUPER PUTIN CARD THE 24 GB 

MODEL IT WASNT EASY YOU NEED TO PUT YOUR MACINE INTO MACPRO 4.1

DONT USE Mac Pro 6.1 AND FOLLWO THESE INSTRUCTIONS 

 

NVIDIA has released MacOS High Sierra 10.13 graphics drivers

 

These drivers are currently the only way to get graphics card acceleration:

- PASCAL NEW PROTOTYPE TITAN XP TI L8K PUTIN 64 GB CARDS 

(WHY DOES PUTIN NEED A 8K GRAPHICS CARD WHO THE {censored} KNOWS MAYBE TO 3D BUILD GUNS AND NUKES YES I SAID A 3D PRINTED NUKE  WARHEAD

-Pascal GTX 1050, 1050 Ti, 1060, 1070, 1080, 1080 Ti, TITAN Xp

-Maxwell GTX 750, 750 Ti, 950, 960, 970, 980, 980 Ti, TITAN X

 

 

 

To uninstall the old WebDriver, follow these steps:

 

1.) Open NVIDIA Driver Manager in the menu bar item.

 

2.) Click the padlock icon and enter the administrator password.

 

3.) Click the uninstall button.

 

4.) Click Uninstall and continue with Uninstall. Restart the system as shown

 

5.) Install the original version of the AppleGraphicsControl.kext kext (only if you have previously edited it) in / S / L / E / Kext Utility

 

Ignore these steps if you come from a clean installation of High Sierra

 

 

To install the new officially distributed NVIDIA 10.13 WebDriver package, follow these steps:

 

1.) Download and install the NVIDIA WebDriver HighSierra 10.13.pkg package During installation, an error message will appear, ignore it and continue the installation until you are prompted to restart the system.

 

2.) Only for those who have smbios iMac 15.1 - iMac 17.1 - MacPro 6.1 Before restarting, put another kext other NVWebDriverLibValFix.kext.zip, NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext.zip and Lilu.kext folder in order to avoid the black screen problem after booting the system

 

 

 

3.) In some cases you must set the SIP (CsrActiveConfig) file to 0x3 in the .config file

 

4.) Now restart the system. At startup, you will have the fully functional WebDriver Nvidia with OpenGL and Metal 2 support: thumbsup_anim:

 

YES IT WORKS 100% OR I WILL GIVE YOU MY EFI FILE ZIPPED WITH TIM COOKES SERIAL

SORRY THEY WONT ALLOW ATTACHMENTS HERE 

Nothing to fix..

 

Watch your language, or it looks like you might get banned here too.

My High Sierra installation suddenly stopped working this morning. I get only the stop sign, verbose mode shows this:

 

736D62F8-DF22-4F06-843D-E135CCF8F63D.jpeg

 

followed by “Still waiting for root device”.

 

It doesn’t matter how I try to boot, from SSD or USB... any suggestions?

 

I will answer to myself, maybe it helps someone down the road:

1) Don't touch UEFI options if everything works!

2) If you do, use "-x NoCaches" and rebuild kextcache, because it is corrupted

 

EDIT: replaced -f with NoCaches. Replaced kernel cache with kextcache. What the h*ll was I thinking, Chameleon?
