At least @AudioGod offers a helpful answer in addition to the laughs  

 

 

We need more info, buddy. Is it a bluetooth mouse? I had choppy mouse when my BT+WIFI PCI card was on the wrong PCI Slot. If that's the case for you then move your Fenvi or whatever PCI card you have on the most bottom PCI slot.

@WizeMan it’s written into my DNA to take the mick now and again and sometimes I just canny help myself. Would you prefer me to be more like the lovely people over at the angry thread? I can do this too if you prefer but I don’t recommend it. 

@neramirez In all seriousness, only use the last two slots on your board for the combo card and one of them should work right for you.

A choppy Mouse is usually a result of lane sharing via the slot your using.

 Heheheh, All right, is a wireless Logitech mouse, one of those with USB dongle, I finally fixed it by switching the dongle port, thanks guys

Guys this is a polite request and plead for help for two main reasons - Reason 1, I still suffer an acute affliction of 'CLOVERTITIST'  and 2, I am planning long term, as I get older this feature will stand me in good stead (Audio Assist), Here goes - I have Boot-chime in Clover but for the love of me, I cannot seem to get it operational in the official OC Fork. I've been at it for around two hours and just cannot get it even after reading the sparse posts around and the OC PDF. Believe it or not, I managed to get it to work at one point but in cleaning up the config.plist, I borked something and no matter how I retrace my steps, I cannot get it. I am hoping some kind person will post (minus personal data) their EFI folder or config.plist for me to see where I am going wrong. I am too scared to post this on the angry thread for the answer unless someone sneaks over there on my behalf and bring me the loot   

 

Go and ask and brave the fire You Pussy.... Meowwwwwwwwwww

Good afternoon guys. I apologize for the language)

Thank you very much for being here, especially AudioGod. Thanks for the work you've done.

I want to inform. I started macOs 10.15.3-10.15.4 with Clover ‘HD630 Z390 Pro F12d EFI macmini8,1’

10.15.4  with -wegnoegpu, black screen (I see the password entry and the screen goes off, remove the hdmi cord, then insert it, the screen works, I see the input picture) 

Without input -wegnoegpu everything works, (completely disabled the manufacturer nvidia)

The only thing does not work sleep.

Mojave everything works with igpu.

High Sierra 10.13.6 Everything is working) So I stayed her. And suffer from 10.15.4 since 1060 acceleration does not work with webdrivers

I am new to this torment, do not judge strictly)

My spec :

i5-9600K

Z390 Aorus Pro

GeForce GTX 1060

550w Corsair RM550x

Ssd 860 and 850 evo 500gb

HYPERX Predator DDR4 3200MHz 16GB

Question: can i get traktor audio 2 with 10.15.4?

@xkrw To set up Your system for igpu only use follow the following instructions. This will not only set you up properly it will fix sleep too.

I found the solution for IGPU Only mode. It is a common issue with OS X 10.15.4. The following allows the usage of your EFI for IGPU only:

 

- Get the normal EFI Download from 1st post.

- Adjust the config.plist:

1. Remove shiki bootargs

2. add igfxonln=1 bootarg (prevent HDMI issues after wake) and -wegnoegpu (Disable dedicated gpu)

- Add the right Framebuffer settings for the IGPU under Devices - Properties

 

For i9900k with Intel UHD 930 its: plattform-id 3E9B0007 and device id 0x3E988086. Patch can easily created with Hackintool.

So this EFI can be used with IGPU only also!

You can just try the attached clover config. If its not working out of the box you might have to use other frame buffer settings. But since the CPU has the same IGPU it might work.

Just generate the serial numbers in SMBios. I removed them.

I think your little description that I pasted to him is spot on perfect buddy as it’s simple to follow and people with a 8700k for instance will need a different frame buffer so your mini description really does sums it up nicely. 
 

also you have a z390 master and my configs and ssdts are different on my pro EFI so that config will cause problems for a pro user.

Good Morning. 
I'ts me again, the Guy with the Z390 Pro Wifi and Steinberg UR44C stuffs...

I now decided to give the 5700XT another try, as i was horribly unsuccessful with it before, but giving up isn't an option, right?

First of all, my F11c setup with the RX 590 works like a charm, thanks to @AudioGod <3 

 

i now put in the 5700XT (Sapphire Radeon RX 5700 XT Nitro+ Special Edition), and on booting of MacOS, after the apple logo and loading bar, i get a blank screen. the system is running,  because if i 'blindly' put in my password,

the machine is audibly doing something. Also, the screen isn't off or anything, it looks like its running but it's not rendering the OS.

I suppose this is to be expected when using the iMacPro1,1 smbios with the 5700XT?

I am connected via DP, alltho i also tried HDMI which bears the exact same result.

 

So my first step was to come back here, and see if there's any updated packages, which i can try, and there are (from May 4th), but as i'm using the Z390 Pro Wifi, i don't have a F12d Bios update yet.

and the regular Pro one won't install on my board.

 

i have tried using the new package, and changing back the Bios Version and Board-ID to what i had in my previous config, but that also didn't work at all.

 

So i suppose my main question is: does anyone have any pointers as to if/how i would get this fancy fresh 10.15.5 ready setup with the Z390 Pro Wifi F12c ?

 

any help is greatly appreciated!

I don’t know what you mean there fella as I have pre built EFIs for the 5700xt and also a bios profile for your pro WiFi board as well as the standard pro.

sounds to me like you haven’t read any of the notes on either the update guide on page one or the update notice so start again and read carefully and read twice and it will work like it does for everybody.

 

FOR CLOVER USE THIS EFI

Clover Z390 Pro Navi Vega EFI 040520.zip

 

FOR OPENCORE USE THIS EFI

OpenCore 058 Z390 Pro 19,1 040520.zip

 

use the unlocked profile for your exact board and read the notes.

p.s don’t forget to read the notes.

 

oh and one last thing.....READ THE NOTES!

yes, so this is quite embarrassing. you guys are right, let me have it

i believe i now have read everything, and now have done:

1. used the Clover Z390 Pro Navi Vega EFI 040520.zip as base

2. re-loaded the unlock from page 1 into my bios:  F12c Unlock.zip - Use with Z390 Pro WIFI Bios Revision F12c ONLY -  by following the exact steps mentioned there.

3. tried both DSDT fromfrom Page 1: DSDT.VEGA.NAVI.zip The one for F12d and the one for F11 (i didn't see one for F12c)

 

unfortunately all with the exact same result as before. it all boots up, and once it should 'render' the OS, the screen stays black(ish).

 

i am still running 10.15.2 at this point, would that pose a problem?

come up to 10.15.4 and don’t change the dsdt that’s already in the Efi as it’s already correct for your board.

try again buddy

 

using a fresh EFI just add your sn uuid and mlb and nothing else needs to be done at all if your using the bios profile as well.

 

p,s one other thing to do before using the new EFI is to clear your nvram and if you can be bothered but it’s not so important open hackintool and rebuild your permissions and clear your cache.

Edited May 7, 2020 by AudioGod

[stavidawg]

Two quick questions.

 

1). Is switching from your clover to Open Core EFI as easy as as implying changing those three parameters (i.e. MLB, System Serial, System smUUID)?

 

2). If so I tried that, however Open Core boots into my windows drive (have dual boot/2 separate NVMe drives). Is there a simple way to get OSX to boot first, aside from pulling the windows drive out? Reason I ask is that my GPU fans are hanging over my windows NVMe drive just enough that I can't easily get unscrew it with out taking the GPU out (I know I'm lazy)..   

 

Otherwise, I'm perfectly content with clover as it stands now but just got some down time and figured I would try "the future" lol.

thank you for the quick response.

 

I've done all that, and the problem still persists.

 

clearing the nvram via sudo nvram -c in single user mode didn't work, as i got the error: error clearing firmware variables ..iokit not permitted
I did tho do nvram -d for each entry in there, but it didn't seem to have helped.

the nvram entries left are:

security-mode none

flagstate. a bunch of %00%'s

EFILoginHiDPI. a bunch of %00%'s but less than flagstate

wake-failure a bunch of %00%'s but a bit more than EFILogin...

csr-active-config: g%00%00%00

 

i've tried both with internal gfx enabled and disabled in bios. -> same result.

 

this error seems to me as if all is working, but the brightness of the screen is just set to 0.

1. Yes its as simple as per my instructions and diagram. SN UUID and MLB plus ROM is your Mac Address

 

2. Two ways to default what drive you want, 1, At the bootlicker select the drive you want to default to and press control and enter or 2, in MacOS open System preferences then open StartUp Disk and select what disk what want to default to from there.

Both ways work a treat.

Have you removed the boot argument agdpmod=pikera by anychance?

Is the same thing happening on different outputs on the card?

 

Clear the nvram from the BootPicker (F11 via Clover)

 

only other thing I can think of is you have traces of an old way of doing things EFI wise eg like using UltraCrap from the red apple site and its left a load of mess in there.

the 5700xt or any navi card works Ott using my navi or OpenCore EFIs with no exceptions that I know of.

 

Quote directly from the OpenCore Manual......

"Black screen after IOConsoleUsers: gIOScreenLock...on Navi

Add agdpmod=pikera to boot args

Switch between different display outputs"

nope, agdpmod=pikera is still in there. i didn't change anything in the config but the numbers you suggested for the board and computer serial

 

same problem on all HDMI or DP ooutputs.

i've done the F11 from clover bootpicker, it's not giving me any info on what it's done, the screen just flashes and the mouse pointer gets really big.

haha, nope  i've put it in just in a regular way.

 

i've also tried a different monitor just to be sure, with the same result.

 

so since i've loaded that unlock bios file into my bios, i wouldn't need to make any additional changes, right?

Correct all the correct settings are dialled in by Texem. Double check it if you like but all should be fine.

 

your 5700xt works normally via windows?

 

you could try changing agdpmod=pikera to agdpmod=ignore or remove it all together. Maybe the special edition is different to the standard sapphire in that respect.

didn't help. i had the exact same problem back then with the powercolor red devil 5700xt.. thought maybe changing the brand would do something.

it sure is weird. i mean, there aren't any gfx related settings in the bios besides the internal gfx on/off/auto that should relate to this at all, are there?

i've set up everything exactly like in the documentation.
