Update to High Sierra AMD 7870 Black Screen

[veames]

Hi all,

Since I've updated to High Sierra from Sierra I have no video past the apple screen. I've tried a number of things from various forum posts including using the X4000 kexts in CLOVER/kexts/Other

I currently have the Intel onboard GPU enabled, but have tried disabling it for kicks with the same result.

Here are my current kexts.

I have no problems with a Sapphire HD 7870 GHz edition on my older build. It works with Mavericks / Yosemite / El Capitan / Sierra / High Sierra, all latest versions updated with the latest security updates.

WhateverGreen.kext should not be necessary with the 7870. I don't use it on my older build. There should be also no need for those AMDRadeon kexts and bundles. High Sierra has native support for the 7870.

@Jamesbond007 I will try that and report back. Thanks!

@Jamesbond007 I've removed them and rebooted, still a black screen and only able to get into the system via VNC

Bump. Must appreciated if anyone has some suggestions on how to resolve this.
