hi @kgp ,
If I use Sapphire Nitro+ RX Vega 64 do I have to input "PP_PhmSoftPowerPlayTable", etc in the SSDT Vega aml? and if I'm not misunderstanding in tutorial you still flashing your sapphire nitro+ Vega 64 to this https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/200283/sapphire-rxvega64-8192-180125 ?

Because I recently installed the same sapphire nitro+ Vega 64 (air cooled) but having problem with my display (dual display actually) when waking up from display off (energy saver in system setting) my monitor just blank screen, BIOS code is still AA, not having kernel panic whatsoever. I have to push the reset button or power on/off button. if display off for after around 20-30 second everything still can wake normally, but after 1 minute or more my display won't wake up.

in Clover/Kext/other I use whatevergreen, lilu, TSCAdjustreset, FakeSMC, AGPMenabler, IntelMausEthernet and AppleALC kexts.
this condition happened with or without SSDT Vega aml applied.
Tried also reset NVRAM within clover with pressing F11 but still no luck.
I have even try to fresh install but still happen.
BIOS setting CSM disable and everything else still exact the same with your guide.

Really stressed with this condition, any help will be very appreciate
and here is my config.plist :

In which way do you have your GPU connect with your Display? HDMI or DisplayPort?

Try to see if you find within your Display settings options for enabling/disabling HDMI or DP port compatibility. This should fix your black screen wake issues.

There should be one option for HDMI compatibility and one option for DisplayPort compatibility, depending on the connection in use.

Hey KGP,

Not sure where the best place to chat about this is. but i do not believe that usb functions 100% and i have been stuck trying to figure out this issue.

Without using the KGP-ImacPro-XHCI.Kext i am unable to supply enough power to charge an ipad. however all other functions seem to work. (aside from the obvious external drives showing as internal)

When i use your kext the ipad charges (and it appears im not getting any disconnects on my external raid box's either) however if i have the ipad charging and connect a usb3 hard drive the machine does not have enough power for it and i get a pop "this accessory needs power"

If you are willing to help with this problem that would be great. if not thats totally cool as well. i just know that you have a good relationship with others who may be able to help such as @RehabMan

Did you ever use my SSDT-X299-USBX.aml, which usually fixes the USB power assignation?

Of Course!

(just a quick side note, when i updated to Mojave, i started from scratch with a fresh install following the new guide, so all files are updated to the recent version)

And if you use KGP-ImacPro-XHCI.Kext you still witness USB power issues? I mean without this kext you do not have a well defined XHC USB configuration. BTW.. you seem to use an old version of this kext, as the bug showing external drives as internal should have been removed quite a while ago.

Below I attach the most recent version I am currently using myself.

I regret, but I am not able to reproduce your issues, as in my case XHC USB behaves as expected. I can connect my iPhone X via one of the USB3.0 ports and it charges without any issue. It is commonly know that iPad devices different from iPad mini do not properly charge on USB ports of PCs (these iPads require much higher USB voltage as usually provided on USB ports of PCs). They do load but too slowly.. therefore you will receive the message "not loading". Else your iPad will be fully accessible from iTunes, while connected via USB. Your iPad should properly load via USB when switched off.

If you still think there is a power issue within the current XHC USB implementation, you are free to address your issue to RehabMan in one of his threats. Maybe he is able to help. I really don't know how to do it better. Please let me know in case you figure out that I am yet missing something.

Cheers,

KGP
