What is the equivalent OC kext patch for agdpmod=pikera?

[Fortitude]

I'm trying to disable WhateverGreen for testing purposes, but can't boot without agdpmod=pikera.

I've tried writing this within my config.plist file under Kernel -> Patch, but it doesn't work.

Indeed this old patch by @Pike R. Alpha was integrated into WEG. But I don't know why it isn't working for you as standalone patch.

I remember reading some time ago that a user for whom the patch did not work as is, it did worked simply by swapping the Find / Replace values. If you try it, keep a working EFi on hand in case the system doesn't boot right, but if it doesn't work on the first boot, try at least a second boot before throwing it away.

 

I can have my RX 6600 XT working without WEG and without agdpmod boot arg on Ventura if setting SMBIOS to iMacPro1,1 or MacPro7,1. Both SMBIOS allow tho remove WEG and the boot arg. iMac SMBIOS don't allow it.

 

Your Alienware has a 5700M. What SMBIOS are you using?

 

EDIT: looking into Ventura's AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy contents

/System/Library/Extensions/AppleGraphicsControl.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.kext/Contents

I can't find any occurrence of board-id (Ym9hcmQtaWQ=) or board-ix (Ym9hcmQtaXg=), maybe is this the reason why the standalone patch doesn't work?
