To be clear, these are the three methods to get your video card recognized:
You can use one of the above methods, not multiple. My understanding is that Radeon Deinit and WhateverGreen.kext do essentially the same thing. The big difference with the DSDT/SSDT method is that it injects a FrameBuffer name. I do not know how this affects how the Vega works/performs.
- Use Radeon Deinit in config.plist
- Use Lilu.kext and WhateverGreen.kext
- Use a DSDT/SSDT
As I'd previously stated, I thought that the stabilization issue was a driver issue.
You said that iMac Pros with Vegas don't exhibit the timeline scrubbing issues with the same sort of video files, I think that it's safe to assume that your timeline scrubbing issues are not due to a drivers issue. I have not seen anyone else report this issue. So, what remains is configuration.
- You can try changing SMBIOS to iMacPro1,1 since they ship with Vegas. But I do not know what issues using this system definition will bring since the CPU/chipset you are using is very different. If/when you try this, you should probably disable the IGPU since, as far as I know, the Xeon W CPUs don't have one.
- You can try keeping the existing system definition and just disabling the IGPU. This will break Quick Sync and probably AirPlay.
- You can try different shikigva flags. Search around for the different settings available. I am unfamiliar with all the settings.
Thank you for the detailed information.
I only have whatever green (i added now) and the lilu (which came in the efi you provided)
Ah ok, so it was the update to 10.13.3 that fixed the stabilization.
I think i will take this one step at a time:
1 I will try to disable the IGPU
Disabling the IGPU is in the BIOS of the Mother board right?
2 I will try to change the SMBIOS to IMAC pro 1,1.
How do I do this?
Other option is to sell the vega and get an rx580 - If I would do this, would I need to change anything from what you instructed, or would it be a plug and play?
Thank you once again for all your precious help
