Thanks Acidanthera for the AppleBacklight code and UnfairGVA patches in WhateverGreen.
Prerequisites
- Your system must not have a GCN 5 or RDNA AMD dGPU, as this kext will conflict with them; we are mixing AMDRadeonX5000 for GCN 5, AMDRadeonX6000 for VCN, and AMDRadeonX6000Framebuffer for DCN. Disable them using
-wegnoegpu
(yes, this works here too) or by adding thedisable-gpu
device property. - Increase VRAM size; otherwise, the device will fail to initialise. 512MiB VRAM is the minimum, 1GiB or more for proper functionality
- Disable Legacy Boot, also known as CSM; otherwise, you will experience various difficulties, such as a kernel panic with "Failed to get VBIOS from VRAM" as the message.
- Remove
WhateverGreen
; this kext conflicts with it. - Use
MacBookPro16,3
,iMac20,1
oriMacPro1,1
SMBIOS.MacPro7,1
often results in black screen at the moment. - Do your macOS updates (The minor ones, not necessary to go Big Sur -> Monterey)
Recommendations
- From this repository, add
SSDT-PNLF.aml
, andSSDT-ALS0.aml
if you have no Ambient Light Sensor, along withSMCLightSensor.kext
for backlight functionality. Usually only works on laptops. AddBrightnessKeys.kext
for brightness control from the keyboard
