Hi,
So I'm at the final stages in my build, and I'm reading that the APGMInjector.kext from Github might be able to help me avoid some DRM headaches, and also supposedly it will allow my RX580 to report as an RX580 in IOReg. Right now its reporting as GFX0@0 -> AMD9500Controller -> AMDRadeonX4000_...

I had a look at the documentation I could find, and I'm not any more enlightened. Can someone tell me if this method works on Ventura? Supposedly it's supposed to do the following:
1. Make DRM function as native (I have tested after implementation, and still no netflix playback on Safari.
2. Make the RX580 look like an RX580 in IOReg. (not AMD 9500Controller)
Another thing I've noticed which is a bit funny, is I get a slightly worse Geekbench score on this card with the kext enabled.
- Should I keep the kext?
- Does anybody have an alternate solution I can try?
- Maybe, I need to do something I haven't to get it to work properly? I should mention that X86PlatformPlugin shows as enabled in IOReg; and that 'about this mac' has always shown the RX580. (see screenshot)

+ - I've heard that maybe I can run this system without whatevergreen because it's a 'native' card. I get a graphics crash on boot when i remove the kext. Do I need to make this the 'Pulse' Firmware variant to implement a 'no whatevergreen solution'?
