P.S: Sleep/wake also works fine with the exception of having no sound after wake which I guess can be resolved with CodecCommander and changing the darkwake settings.

Dr. Hurt Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) I have a strange issue that I'm not sure is related to clover. In MacIASL, I have 2 FACS tables. I tried to have clover drop FACS with no difference. Another possibly related issue. System POST takes very long after a shutdown from Mac. I tried RTC patch (binary and DSDT), but same. InsydeH2O legacy. Restart seems to work fine.

apianti Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 @Cyberdevs, @xtddd, Did you read the discussion I linked? Also did you read the second to last post about changing the count of output ports? Only the RX580 has the possibility of being detected correctly without injection but you should probably still use injection or WhateverGreen, are you using WhateverGreen? You'll probably get better results since it has more updated list of GPUs.

Just use the regular iasl, https://github.com/acpica/acpica/releases, and edit with text editor. Also the FACS table can't be dropped as it is part of your firmware and needed (it contains the startup machine hardware signature, wakeup vector and global lock), so unsure what you're trying to do....

Yes I did read the article and it was interesting, I changed the CFG_FB_LIMIT from 0 to 5 and I lost the acceleration and even though my GPU was detected correctly it only detected 7MB of memory. This whole experiment for me is to determine whether the new release of macOS can fix the issue on AMD GPUs on hackintoshes or not with the help of the amazing clover bootloader of course. WhateverGreen is doing a great job to resolve all the previous issues on AMD GPUs and it even activated the HDMI audio that's been missing in 10.13.4 beta versions but if and only if we can have more native support for AMD GPUs without having to go the extra mile to create a custom frame buffer or use a SSDT (which I couldn't get it to work with the 10.13.4 betas so far) or need to use extra kexts that would be interesting, don't you think?

So then you should have gathered from the first post that only one specific RX580 can be detected correctly by macOS. And no, WhateverGreen basically does what clover does plus some extra stuff that is needed for specific GPUs. You should use it - Clover should actually get away from such specific injection as it's hard to maintain and breaks very easy. Which means that upgrading might break your entire boot, where something like WhateverGreen can be replaced with the previous version. Clover is starting to become more like a monolithic kernel and but should try to be a modular boot loader, the current code is not sustainable as it's scope is entirely too large. Also your card wasn't really working which is why you had connectors that didn't output, you would not have working sleep. Do you actually have 5 connectors or did you just set that because of the post? 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/284656-clover-general-discussion/page/672/#findComment-2606095 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attached: clover table dump No, it's not injected twice. It's just in your firmware. If you look that is one table at the same address, Xsdt is 64bit, Rsdt is 32bit, only difference. I see no issues besides that you probably need to patch a lot of that stuff to get actually working PM, because VAIO's ACPI tables are among the worst. 2 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/284656-clover-general-discussion/page/672/#findComment-2606096 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes I know that the post is talking about two specific cards which are different from mine, besides I don't want to change the VBIOS on my GPU at least not yet and as I mentioned earlier it's now working just fine and macOS detects it correctly if I use only 1DP and 1 HDMI port, I haven't tested two HDMI ports without injectATI yet but soon I'll test that too to see if it works or not without injecting ati with clover. Edit: Sleep actually works, I don't know why you say it doesn't, I also tested two HDMI ports and they both work without InjectATI. The problem is with the DP connectors.

As long as you have the correct amount of connectors, that's all I was making sure. You need to patch the connectors in the driver in order for all of them to work, which then causes sleep issues without setting the correct connector count as well since it defaults to 6. Have you used Lilu+WhateverGreen? You haven't said, because pretty sure it will do all this for you automatically.

Yes I've been using Lilu and WEG for macOS 10.13.3 but ever since 10.13.4 beta came out with the promising changes for the AMD GPUs I'm not using them. I have nothing against using WEG but in these tests I'd like to see how much macOS is changing in that regard. With WhateverGreen everything is working as it should all the connectors are working (I haven't tested the DVI port). I'll try to patch the connectors later and see if that gives me my DP's back or not.

Your card will only work without injection of properties if it is the exact RX580 model that is used in the EGDK. Clover does not have proper injection for polaris (or after) cards. WhateverGreen properly injects the properties needed for the device. You need to use WhateverGreen. Clover CAN NOT inject the correct properties to get your card working because it doesn't even take several of them into account. In fact there really is no need for clover to even do any of this as the kext method is much better anyway and allows the device to be setup properly in the OS as well, which is something clover can never do.
