This looks superb! Thank you for sharing this.  Whew.... no mas tinkering around for this.

Hi - can you post your config.plist after removing your personal data so that I can make a comparison to my own because even though I use the above command script, I am not getting the same results as you. Thanks.

 

I had no idea about this and it worked for me

Yes I have the same but I would like mine to read 'Built-In'. Yours does not say Built-In, yours says Slot 1. Have another look at his.

 

I use SMBios from MacPro7.1 I guess it should be ok? 🤷‍♂️

Here you go.

Ventura behaves like a puppy chasing it's own tail and enjoying it.

Thanks to everyone, I'm ready to run Ventura on my laptop (Skylake's X260, T460 equivalent Japanese laptop: NEC VK23VB-T).
Special thanks to WhatEverGreen.

The stage manager feels good.
However, the pad is still too small to launch a launcher with four fingers.😄

No Luck on Gigabyte Z690. Tried SMBIOS 1,1 - 7.1-19.1 and 20.1 constant boot loop. I even tried with Xmp disabled and nothing. 

[Irish_Man]

Same here, bootloop

All these messages "same here" are useful  to understand where is the fault as we all have very different hardware and different bootloaders and tunings.

よかった！

 

Have you experienced intermittent flickers? And are you able to play HEVC encoded videos?

[Guest 5T33Z0]

installation of beta 3 failed for me as well. Even with OC build from dp3_inject_fix branch.

 

When booting macOS Ventura disk it recovered to 22A5286j in a few minutes and notified me that some updates couldn't be installed.

 

I also had to revert to the last OC build from the master branch to boot into Big Sur.

On my laptop I am stuck at “virtual boot IONVMeContraller::start(IOService *)::831:Successfully initialised NVMe drive”

No further progress on Beta3

There are (maybe at least) two faults, one in OC and (probably at least) one in Lilu due to Apple doing weird voodoo with KC again. The former is identified, but the fix is rather involved and needs thorough testing (including old versions of macOS) and the latter was not yet identified (this causes the KP). There is nothing for the general public to test, nothing to see here.

Any log or detailed problem report? The branch may be buggy, hence it's not in master.

EDIT: @5T33Z0: Pushed another fix. Ideally, it now behaves as follows:

- All macOS versions before Ventura Beta 3 behave as they did before, no changes whatsoever

- Ventura Beta 3 KPs when loading Lilu, same KP has shown here multiple times

- Ventura Beta 3 without Lilu should behave like macOS does when it lacks Lilu (and especially VSMC)

- This new fix should perform more or less the same as the very first fix from yesterday (if you didn't try it, no need to, its design was flawed)

The problem with Lilu is not concerning me. I am booted always without it.

"nothing to see here" to you.

[Guest ricoc90]

Same here (Did I do that right?)

 

On another note, it wouldn't let me do the incremental update: "Couldn't prepare the update for installation". It then offered me to download the full installer instead. However, exitting System settings and reopening the software-update panel offersme the incremental update which again fails, offers me the full download again and the circle continues. I feel like a child in a carousel.🎠

New development for Skylake users: 

As tested and observed, currently (as of beta 2) it is possible to achieve iGPU acceleration on SKL with help of KBL kexts/profiles (spoofing) however this came with caveats, as expected; specifically with regards to codec(s) hw-decode support. The first noticeable issue was YouTube-playback on Safari, which was resolved by simply dropping the VP9 flag from the KBL profile, since SKL does not have VP9 hw-decode support. All credits to @dhinakg and @PMheart for their collaborative work implementing a robust patch into WEG while maintaining KBL kexts untouched as possible.

Upon further testing, it seems there is actually one more codec-related issue still lurking; this time with HEVC encoded playback  even though VideoProc/VDADecoderChecker do report "full" acceleration status (enc/dec) for HEVC codec. Those spoofing to KBL may test this out by playing a HEVC encoded video via VLC, QuickTime Player etc. you should see garbled/half green frames.

After performing a few tests over the past week, I was able to track down the problematic HEVC flag in KBL profile that causes this incompatibility with HEVC playback on SKL and managed to implement a working patch in a test branch of WEG that fixes this issue. I must admit the code implemented is not exactly perfect but it does the job as far as my testing goes; no more HEVC codec issues seen.

 

SKL users on Ventura may choose to test below attached WEG 1.6.1 SOLELY for testing HEVC related issues or as a temporary solution while waiting for official support from Acidanthera members. CC @PMheart

Almost the same here! And corrupted BIOS settings on every reboot. 😝

As you know, Clover uses OC, and OC doesn't work right now, so same difference. "Nothing to see here" was to the people who pull code review and debugging branches and complain they do not boot.

What sort of voodoo? I’m Always interested in what Apple changes…

KernelCollections have no spec, so it was always not easy to guess what their intentions are. It looked like some container format (that had the kernel and in separate segments), but it really is much more of a composite format. When they started doing now was referencing segments that precede the Mach-O header of the inner kernel (i.e., inside a KC segment) in said inner kernel. As we treated the inner Mach-O files as separate, this causes issues (basically a negative offset from the header to reach the preceding segment). Though it's now clear, they are not separate, it is one (weird) composite image.

 

I also found the issue with Lilu. It used a deprecated marker segment over the actual segment for the inner kernel. Supposedly for backwards-compatibility of tools, Apple preserved segments that were used by the old prelinkedkernel to still somewhat work with KernelCollections. This specific marker (__PRELINK_TEXT) now broke. Fixes are queued but untested.

Green screen is indeed a problem which I heard from users, while I have no idea...

 

But now thanks! Where may I find your patch?

Good morning. 

This is what I have in deviceProperties related to the Intel 630. Nothing related to the AMD (really I have agdpmod=pikera needed for my 6600 but not for your 580). iMac19,1 SMBIOS. iGPU enabled (not Auto) in BIOS.

 

Spoiler

 

After running defaults write com.apple.ActivityMonitor ShowGPUTab -bool true both GPU are in the new GPU tab and both are built-in.

Show me your current config.plist.
