macOS 10.13.4 Update

Would you take a photo of this and post it here for review ?

It's not news - Mieze has no love for this site and includes that message in her drivers.
I think that the one available for download here has had that line removed.

Hello:
Apple's recent macOS 10.13.4 update is causing some havoc among people using screen extenders like Duet Display and Air Display, as well as USB DisplayLink-connected monitors.

This is probably not the place to ask this, but why is my IntelMausiEthernet kext saying "Don't support Tonymacx86.com" in boot? I mean, whatever issue is here, placing it in user's boot messages is kinda, super ****ing wrong IMO.

Use the IntelMausiEthernet kext in the Downloads > Kext section as it doesn't have that embedded message.

It's as you quoted above.

It takes a good 30 seconds before I get any signs of life from my screen after sleep. My computer turns back on, I can hear new emails and such, but no video until I wait about 30 seconds. It seems like the computer is waking up and trying to access my IGPU first, when it sees that it doesn't have a signal from that, it switches over the the RX 480. If I disable the IGPU in the bios, this issue disappears. Problem is, I have to have the IGPU enabled, otherwise I get quicksync issues and my graphics performance drops in half after watching videos or playing a game. Putting whatevergreen back seems to resolve this issue, but I'm not sure if it's causing any overlapping driver issues.

As far as Injecting intel goes, I'm not entirely sure what you mean. I simply have the flag ticked in Clover Configurator. I also have ig-platform-id enabled, along with IntelGFX Fake ID so that it picks up my IGPU. This means the operating system can see both graphics cards and I don't get any quicksync issues. Just the sleep issues if I remove Whatevergreen.

I also can't wake from sleep using my bluetooth devices (keyboard and mouse).

OK. But your machine sleeps. I am also experiencing this delay with 10.13.4 (without Whatevergreen) but I'm not treating it as a biggy. We're both on Skylake with BIOS Intel enabled and I'm injecting Intel 'headlessly' with an ig-platform-id of 19120001 not 19120000, and the Intel card does not show up in System Report > Graphics/Displays, which I like, just my AMD. I have video Hardware Encoding. Sorry if you know all that.

As for not waking from bluetooth I assume you have 'Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer' true in advanced bluetooth settings?

Yeah, my machine definitely sleeps. I'm using the exact same ig-platform-id. What do you mean by "headlessly"? Do you experience the graphics card performance degradation after playing videos in VLC or playing a game? Is your IGPU disabled in your bios? And how would one go about enabling video hardware encoding? And OMG, I had no idea that the wake from Bluetooth feature was an option. I'll have to check when I'm home, although I'm a little worried because ALL of my USB connections disconnect during sleep.

Sorry for all the questions, you've been extremely helpful!

Everything works great. Audio worked as well. Maybe it's because I didn't use Toleda's script in the first place. Since High Sierra, NVidia's automatic upgrades haven't worked for me. Someone posted here about a script where it chooses the best Nvidia driver for you. That fixed all the display problems. Although, before running the script, I had to install the Nvidia driver update in Sys Pref.

Hadn't noticed this.

"Still waiting for root device" (which becomes the prohibited sign if you don't boot with -v) This line comes right after the HID Legacy shim 2 line.

Did you have HFS+ before the update? In that case, it must have converted your installation to APFS. You need apfs.efi https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/how-to-update-current-and-past-apfs-efi-downloads.236103/

No, I'm not on HFS+, I have this computer on APFS and have had it on for a while......and I do load the latest APFS.efi as recommended.....but thanks for trying.......

If you think it's USB related, try to remove all related patches, connect the mouse and keyboard to USB 2.0 ports are don't connect any other USB devices.
