Implicit in your description is the assertion that moving to OpenCore created this problem. If you still have the previous CLOVER EFI folder, try booting through CLOVER again to re-validate the assertion. If the problem does in fact occur only through OpenCore, then we can start by looking for differences between the CLOVER and OC EFI folders. For example:Hi everyone, I am having an interesting issue with my Designaire and am looking for some advice on how to troubleshoot/isolate the problem before I proceed down the path of simplifying my system materially.
I have updated my Designaire to boot OC and am running the latest Catalina. I am using two displays, one of which is connected to a TB2 ATEN switch and then to my Designaire. When using Zoom and on a video call using the TB attached monitor, the screen will blank out after a minute or two and then return when I wiggle the trackpad. Interestingly, this does not happen when I move the Zoom window to the direct attached monitor. I do not have this problem when not using Zoom.
Do you have any advice on how I can confirm via logs or other artifacts what is causing this problem? In parallel I am going to rebuild a simplified system to see if this occurs on a vanilla install running only Zoom.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
- Which versions of Lilu and WhateverGreen are in CLOVER, and which versions are in OpenCore?
- Are there any pertinent differences in Boot Arguments between the two (particularly agdpmod)?
- Because you have multiple monitors, have you tried various agdpmod arguments (pikera, vit9696, ignore)?
- In System Preferences --> Energy Saver, if the monitor set to sleep after N minutes, have you tried increasing N?
