I am reposting this from a couple months ago hoping someone can help me out in understanding what is going on with my Hackintosh.

My main issue is random freezing of my display (i.e. cannot move my mouse) and nothing being displayed after my monitors go to sleep (i.e. lock my screen, wait a few minutes, try to move mouse/type on keyboard. My displays wake up but display "no signal"). I have to reboot in order to use my Hackintosh again.

Another issue that I am experiencing is that, every time I reboot my system and login initially, my right and left vertical displays do not display correctly until I turn one of them off and back on again. It is kind of hard to describe what is wrong, but basically the dimensions of the display and the orientation (horizontal vs. vertical) is wrong, and my mouse does not display in the correct place on the screen.

Either way, after some research it looks like this all may be due to my Framebuffer being incorrect. However, I am having a hard time trying to determine whether that is the case and, if so, how to fix it.

I did manually try to add a Framebuffer ("Kamarang") into my config.plist below, however that did not seem to make a difference.

Any help with this would be much appreciated! Also, please let me know if I should upload anymore information.

Currently, My setup consists of 1 Dell U3415w and 2 Dell 2415 monitors in an "H" configuration (both 2415s setup vertically on either side of the U3415W).

This is all being powered by a SAPPHIRE Radeon RX Vega 64 (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202326) with each monitor plugged via a DisplayPort.

I am currently running the latest version of macOS Mojave, 10.14.4.

I am also using the latest version of the Clover boot loader (4920) with the following kexts located in kexts\Other:
  • AppleALC.kext
  • AtherosE2200Ethernet.kext
  • Lilu.kext
  • USBInjectAll.kext
  • VegaTab_64.kext (since my fan to high)
  • VirtualSMC.kext
  • WhateverGreen.kext
My config.plist file contains the following:

Also, for what it is worth, sleep is disabled on my system:

Again, thank you all for taking time out of your day to help a fellow hackintosher out!
 
A while back I had issues until I enabled the iGPU. I don't know if you still need to do this. You should upgrade to the 10.14.5 public beta as they have massively fixed the drivers. I would remove the vega tab kext before you do this and then tweak from there. The fan issues have been fixed.

Ah ok gotcha, thanks I will have to see if the Beta works any better for me.

Quick question though: when you say you "enabled the iGPU," do you simply mean in your BIOS settings?

Turns out, looks like this solved my issue.
After I updated to 10.14.5 beta my issue seems to have disappeared.
Thanks for your suggestion!

Have you upgraded to the latest Beta?
I have and, unfortunately, my issue has reappeared. Has the same happened to you?
 
I don´t know about you, but, in my case, Im still having the issues, once the screen goes into sleep mode, the Vega fan goes at 100% and can't wake the hack again, it needs to be restarted. I'm updating some kexts (apple ALC, Lilu and WhateverGreen) I'll report what happened. I'm running Mojave 10.14.6.
