high sierra (but even sierra) black screen after wake amd

[xelanaiznac]

hi guys.
as @VioletDragon suggested me, i am opening a new thread here.

this is the issue, and i have seen that a lot of people are suffering by it.
situation: black screen after wake from sleep using amd gpu card (vega in my case) if waking the hack trough peripheral (usb mouse, bluetooth keyboard etc).
waking from sleep is working, with correct video signal if waking by pushing the power button.

someone said that is normal with amd and there is no fix here. but a user @bub505 in this thread https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/unable-to-get-rx-vega-working-with-high-sierra.232764/page-4 said that for him it is perfectly working.

i am attaching here my files and even bub505 files

tried with different dark wake values, same situation

Kinda have a strange config here. Your using Radeon Graphics and have onboard iGPU enabled. Its either the one or the other. Radeon Graphics is known to have (Black Screen) issues. Other than that I cant see anything else wrong here.

yes, i am using intel + amd for quick sync.
but even @bub505 has this configuration. as me, he has peg as primary graphic card in bios, and he assumed that sleep and wake are working.

adding info:
as suggested here https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/skylake-flawless-sleep-wake-on-asus-boards.194292/ i am using this bios settings:

Advanced/apmconfiguration
erpready: enable s4+s5
power on pci: disabled
power on by etc: disabled

some users suggested to use intel as primary for correct waking from sleep.
the issue is that if i set igfx as primary my pc won't boot after enabling thunderbolt. if i disable thunderbolt i can set ogpu as primary (it's very complicated and very strange).
by the way bub505 has peg as primary and working wake from sleep.

i want to underline that waking is perfectly working if i press the power button.
it's not working only if i wake it trough peripheral

Well I cant see anything wrong. Probably a issue with Radeon Graphics. Radeon Graphics is known to have Black Screen issues on Wake state. What happened if you leave it? Probably a reboot?

nothing, it doesn't reboot.
Asus post code is c6 (or cb)
i have to reset it or force shutdown

Sounds like a issue with Radeon Graphics. (Typical Black Screen). Have you tested with just onboard iGPU?
Plug the monitor to onboard IGPU then Wake. What Happens?

thank you for you time violet.
i have not tried with just the ogpu because I have read that for someone it was working.
some info just collected:


Motherboard q-code is bf (or 6f) after booting and the same is after wake from sleep (successfully or unsuccessfully)

power button Led is blinking when hack goes sleep

Without whatevergreen.kext I have always black screen (both peripheral and power button waking up method)
note: Black screen but Hackintosh is working (I can enter trough display sharing with my laptop)

With whatevergreenkext.com I can make my hack sleeping and waking trough power button.

With whatevergreenkext.com I can make my hack sleeping only once.
I mean, after having waking it up once (trough power button of course), if I try to make the hack sleeping again, it doesn’t work. Monitor goes black but hack is awake. the same as waking it up trough peripheral

hope it helps

is whatevergreen fault? I don't know but bub505 isn't using it and it has sleeping working.
is usb related? Is cpu power managment related? I'm guessing just speaking about differences from mine and bub505 clover folder

Blinking Power LED indicates sleep. My Desktop does the same. Test with onboard iGPU. Personally I think its due to Radeon Graphics.

Do you have the latest lilu.kext installed?
I have an old AMD card that wakes up and sleeps perfectly. Can wake up with mouse or keyboard and will sleep again. Many people have this working, even on newer cards without igpu used. I don't think it is a radeon graphics issue. Are you sure the kexts are loading? Possible bad card? Something else might be interfering with the card on wake, though I don't know enough to say what that could be...

You will notice that older Radeon Cards Sleep & Wake perfectly fine. The Radeon 5450 I had worked fine with Sleep & Wake.
