wolfie81 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) Hi guys, Cant work out whats going on. In all my years of hackintosh, haven't had this issue until now (was even stable until the last point update).I have 2x Apple 27inch Cinema Displays hooked up to my PC. I use the Apple bluetooth keyboard without issue.On fresh boot, brightness keys control the monitor brightness no problem. On wake from sleep, I either get no movement of the bars for brightness on the screen (it just shows as a circle) or I get my near full brightness with the level but it is fixed in that one position on the screen. The brightness level is fixed to the level that was prior to sleep. I dont see it as a USB issue as the keyboard works fine for everything else. It seems to be a software glitch but I dont know how for where to look. Could it be an NVRAM issue? A Clover issue?Any ideas? Thank you. I have a 1080ti on a 67700k Z170 Gigabyte Designaire board.

Allan Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Do you use the last version of Clover and Nvidia Webdrivers? About NVRam, you can try clean it: sudo nvram -c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I type this in clover boot screen or just in terminal in macOS? I have added my clover folder (minus all identifying system numbers). Im not sure if there is something related to NVRAM or EMUVariable (do I need it and is it related?) EDIT: Im struggling to upload the zipped file of Clover. It seems to hang in 'Queued Edited April 16, 2018 by wolfie81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Gigabyte has the native NVRam, so it's not necessaru you use EMUVariable driver. The command you'll run it on Terminal.app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The command you'll run it on Terminal.app Hi Allan, I have run the terminal app multiple times and rebooted to no success. Ive also ensured I do not have the EMUVariable driver. I still have the problem where brightness is fixed to what it was prior to sleep. I find it hard to believe this is just me experiencing it. Do you have any other suggestions?

Allan Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 You can try this app: NativeDisplayBrightness.app.zip https://github.com/Bensge/NativeDisplayBrightness/releases *in some cases .app don't work, check patches in config.plist inside Clover folder Post Install Source: [Guide] Sierra / High Sierra on mobos Serie 100 / 200 / 300 / SkyLake / KabyLake / CoffeeLake DSDT Credits: @MaLd0n 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie81 Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 Thanks, unfortunately it didn't work (followed instructions on system. pref. too).Thing is, brightness used to work all the time (and it still works on fresh boot). Not sure if its an High Sierra issue, Clover, NVRAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Run this app, and upload the file result here. RunMe And you're right, HS seems to be a very problematic system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Here's: CLOVER.zip Please, backup your current EFI folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sorry, it didn't work. I also had to disable 'Drop OEM' otherwise it wouldn't boot (circle with line running through it). Any other ideas? I also noticed, that when I disconnect the monitor from the 1080ti (DisplayPort) and reconnect it after it wakes up, the brightness works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is strange, that it works fresh on boot but gets affected after it wakes up. NVRAM and any sleep settings haven’t really changed. Does Darkwake status make a difference?
