Lost Graphic Options - Says no kext loaded in Graphics/ Displays

[baryw]

I am using a AMD Radeon R9 270X which (I am hoping) is still supported. When I booted into Ventura - I lost my 4K options. Any ideas on what I need to change?

Thanks!

latest whatevergreen.kext ?

Good guess but yes.

I dropped back to Monterey and everything works fine again.

Maybe something like whatevergreen needs to get updated. It looks like I will need to be patient.

This is what it looks like in Monterey. Perhaps the AMDFramebufferSI dropped support for the R9. Bummer if true.

I also have an R9, Ventura did drop support for it. Maybe there will be a better solution in the future but right now I got it working fully using the OCLP root patcher. Go here and expand the section at the bottom that says `GPUs requiring patching in macOS Ventura` and you'll see the R9 there: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore...ALL.html#applying-post-install-volume-patches

You'll need to disable sip partially to `03080000` and also set SetBootModel to Disabled I believe. Then run the root patch using the OCLP program

You are correct: Some changes to make. I will have to temporarily (?) update my config file to be able to install.

It won't be temporary, after patching root I don't think sip can be turned back on. To disable AMFI, (I did this too but forgot to mention) add "amfi_get_out_of_my_way=0x1 -no-compat-check" to your boot-args config

I am having trouble turning off SIP. I booted up in Recovery and turned it off through the Terminal. Maybe my csr-active is incorrect. you suggested '030...'. It didn't work for me. I will try it again.

UPDATE - I am nervous about changing my main drive so I am using an USB to test. Maybe an issue?

This video could be helpful when trying to use OLCP in Ventura.

This video is more about getting OCLP to run on an older Mac. Not applicable to this discussion. (sorry about that but interesting if you have an old unsupported Mac and you want to upgrade it to Ventura)
