Docxavier, I noted that the InfoPlist file as I received it, was set up for a Radeon RX 560, but I assume that all this is doing is giving the GPU a name i.e. you could call it 'Buggs Bunny' and it should stick, along with the ports value (5 in my case as I have 2 x DPI, 2 x HDMI & 1 DVI = 5 ports).
Sorry for the long post, but this has problem has occupied the last 1.5 days of my time and I'm banging my balding head with this!
WHAT I'M TRYING TO ACHIEVE
I have a SAPPHIRE Radeon NITRO+ RX 580 OC graphics card that was working with sleep in High Sierra 10.13.1. just using the RadeonInit=YES in my Config.plist in my Clover folder.
I updated to HS 10.13.2, and noticed that sleep was not working (Black screens with fans whirring) and also my two DP Audio outputs had disappeared.
My understanding on the issue is it's a bug that Apple introduced with 10.13.2 in that they, Apple, put a magic figure/constant of 6 ports in the AMD9500Controller.kext. This stopped sleep from shutting down (unless you had 6 ports?), hence my problem.
I was then informed of the AMD9xxxControllerPatcher.kext (which is a dummy.kext) that is supposed to patch the AMD9500Controller.kext with the model and number of ports for your card after you modify the Info.plist file included in the AMD9xxxControllerPatcher.kext.
I can't get AMD9xxxControllerPatcher.kext to work. What I have tried today is:
TEST 1
With Lilu & WhaterverGreen in /L/E, with RadeonDeinit = NO in EFI/Config.plist.
This set-up at least gives me my two HDMI/DP audio outs to my DELL P2415Q monitors. Not a big deal for me though, as I use a Soundblaster Play! 2 USB sound card.
DPCI reports that I have a 'Radeon Pro 580', (close to my SAPPHIRE Radeon NITRO+ RX 580 OC card, but no cigar!), with the 6 ports (my card only has 5. With ioreg looking for CFG_FB_LIMIT gives:
Code:
iMac:~ jb$ ioreg -lw0 | grep CFG_FB_LIMIT
| | | | | "CFG_FB_LIMIT" = 0
| | | | | "aty_config" = {"CFG_INT_SSPC"=25,"CFG_USE_SRRB"=No,"CFG_NO_MSI"=No,"CFG_NO_SLS"=No,"CFG_FORCE_MAX_DPS"=No,"CFG_USE_DPT"=Yes,"CFG_NO_HDCP"=No,"CFG_CAA"=0,"CFG_APER_MODE"=1,"CFG_PULSE_INT"=Yes,"CFG_FB_LIMIT"=0,"CFG_USE_FEDS"=Yes,"CFG_USE_STUTTER"=Yes,"CFG_PAA"=0,"CFG_USE_FBC"=No,"DALUseUrgencyWaterMarkOffset"=0,"CFG_NODM"=Yes,"DALReadDelayStutterOff"=4,"CFG_USE_LPT"=No,"CFG_USE_REGAMMA"=Yes,"CFG_USE_AGDC"=Yes,"CFG_GEN_FLAGS"=0,"CFG_FORCEMAXDPM"=No,"CFG_TRANS_WSRV"=Yes,"CFG_NO_MST"=No,"CFG_NO_PP"=No}Sleep does not work, same as before.
Using ioreg looking for Radeon model confirms the model that DCPI and about Mac gives:
Code:
iMac:~ jb$ ioreg -lw0 | grep "Radeon "
| | | | | "model" = <"Radeon Pro 580">TEST 2
With Lilu, WhateverGreen and AMD9xxxControllerPatcher in /L/E, with RadeonDeinit = No in EFI/Config.plist.
Along with this in the Info.plist within the AMD9xxxControllerPatcher.kext:
Code:
<key>aty_config</key>
<dict>
<key>model</key>
<string>Radeon RX 580</string>
<key>CFG_APER_MODE</key>
<integer>1</integer>
<key>CFG_CAA</key>
<integer>0</integer>
<key>CFG_FB_LIMIT</key>
<integer>5</integer>No Sleep!
TEST 3
Removed all except Lilu, WhateverGreen, AMD9xxxControllerPatcher and FakeSMC from /L/E and with RadeonDeinit set to No. Was worried I'd break macOS, but hey WTF!
Nothing changed from previous 2 tests! No sleep!
Conclusion:
AMD9xxxControllerPatcher.kext is not working for my card, or I've made a mistake in configuration, which is possible. Usually in my 43+ years of electronics/software experience, it's the little things that get you!
I don't know where to go further with this as having sleep is a nicety but won't be a deal breaker at the moment.
Any help or guidance to enlighten me further on how this is supposed to work will be very helpful!
The following is my /Library/Extensions directory
(I used the tree command I've installed from the "ports" package manger, if you are wondering how I got this).
Code:
iMac:Extensions jb$ pwd
/Library/Extensions
iMac:Extensions jb$ tree
