Guide How to Patch AMD Framebuffers for High Sierra using Clover

Status
Not open for further replies.
I'm very sorry, Im rather new to all this.
Attached is a ZIP which contains my clover folder, ROM file and info exported. I've edited Pablo's 1st patch he posted as that nearly worked for me, then I rebooted and rebuilt my cache and rebooted again. I'm still getting boot to black screen, however :(

Desired framebuffer: Baladi

What I see from your config.plist:
  • too many fixes in ACPI DSDT section, I don't think you need them all;
  • since you're not using nvidia card you dont't need nv_disable=1 checked in boot section
  • Try to disable SIP completely by putting 0x67 in CsrActiveConfig in RtVariables section
  • If you're using i5 2500k I think iMac12.2 smbios is more suitable for your configuration
  • Did you disable your IGPU in BIOS ?
  • Post your ioreg so I can see more detailed info about your GPU port assignments
  • Be prepared for lot of experimenting, trials & errors and failed boots :(
  • I may propose new patch with proper edit of hotplug ID's from your BIOS rom:
    00040000 04030000 00010100 00000000 12040201 00000000

It's ok to be new. We all were at some point. Now typical High Sierra > 10.13.2 framebuffer patching with clover involves these steps.
applying patch to clover find and replace KextToPatch
rebooting into single user mode with -s boot flag
running the following commands when you see root
Code: 
mount -uw /
touch /System/Library/Extensions/
kextcache -Boot -U /
exit
Note: use exit command not reboot, may need to do it a couple times before getting caches rebuilt properly.

Can't say I disagree with any of this

Hey guys,

I got a bad performance when I use a frame buffer, this is normal? I hope not. Probably I made something wrong with the patch.

Geekbench comput results:
With ATI Inject: 59474
Without: 103384

My graphic card have 4x DP and 2x DVI, this one: Asus 7970 Direct CU.

Here is the output of bios decode:

I rebuilt the caches 3 or 4 times, but still unable to boot up with it (get to black screen). I used -v and -s to get to the root screen to input the text, and that seemed to work fine. :(

Thanks you two for your support so far :)

Your injectATI=true with FBName=Baladi isn't working suggest renaming PEGP to GFX0 in ACPI tables add this to your config.plist in ACPI patches section

Find:
50454750

Replace:
47465830

Does your system work without injectATI=true and using the RadeonFramebuffer? If so why are you experimenting? Your patch looks ok from just a glance. What framebuffer are you trying to patch?
