Hi

 

Black screen on first reboot OS Installer screen. Can't install 10.15.1 Beta 2 on my Z390 rig for now :(

 

EDIT: I've to disable latest WhateverGreen 1.3.3 in Clover GUI. boot-arg -wegoff don't work ---> RX580

@Matgen84 test:

 

bot-arg --> -wegoff

flag --> inject ATI 

framebuffer --> orinoco

FakeID ATI --> 0x67DF1002

optional --> agdpmod Pikera

 

 

Ok. I already test without success: -wegoff  and agdpmod=pikera. Normally, RX580 is OOB, I think. All works fine in Beta 1.

 

I test other in few hours. Thanks

I don't know if the following will help with the boot to black with AMD cards, but this is what happened to me with Beta 1.

I'm on Clover, and have not had any issues with Catalina prior to 10.15.1 beta 1, Radeon VII and WEG, using Clover basic stuff and SMCHelper. But upon installation of beta 1, it booted to black screen. If I did not touch the mouse or keyboard, I could see the mouse cursor, but otherwise the screen was black. I had a beta version of Clover, newer than the official, and recent versions of the plugins (if not the newest, very close to it).

 

I could not understand what was wrong. However, I tried to compile the very latest versions of all plugins, and I also changed from SMCHelper.efi to VirtualSMC, and then it worked - I got image on the screen.

 

I can't for sure say that the switch to VirtualSMC was the right thing, and what made it work, it could also be some version in the plugins. I haven't installed beta 2 yet, but will try. Anyway, it would be interesting to know if there is a correlation between black screen and SMCHelper. If it is not, then we can rule that out.

That did the trick. Thank you. :)

 

Confirmed to be working on RX 580, Catalina 10.15.1 Beta 2.

 

 

 

 

Did not the trick (strangely) for me. I do more test after lunch :yes:

Mat, I saw your message. That's exactly why I decided to post my results. :P Cause we've got very similar GPUs. So...in theory, it should work for you, as well.

 

How did you add that boot argument? Did you add it to config, or did you set it up from Clover GUI, upon boot?

 

Cause, what I did, was to use Clover Configurator, went to Boot section, right click on Arguments section -> WhateverGreen -> agdpmod=pikera. Save and exit.

 

I think it should work the same way from Clover GUI though, in case you don't have another way to edit that config (like from another installation of MacOS, or an external machine). Not sure why it didn't work for you...

Thanks. This temporary solution works now. I forgot to disable the patch in config.plist when using agdpmod=pikera. It do not work with 10.15.1Beta 2.

Hello Gigamaxx, do you have available HEVC acceleration without WEG and with disabled IGPU? With iMac Pro SMBIOS... thanks.

According to VideoproC yes.  My IGPU is disabled in bios and it shows all hardware enabled.    I didn’t decode anything though as I haven't had time.

hi Chris, do you mean radeon VII no longer need WEG and native support by beta 2?

There never was any need to use WEG to get the Radeon VII working. Just AGDP patches to get all connectors working like on most AMD cards.

Update: I tested to update to beta 2, and it worked well. For me there was no need to use agdpmod=pikera. H264 and HEVC ok.

May I ask what patches are needed in order to get the Radeon VII working without WEG?

 

Thank you in advance,

Cheers,
