High Sierra 10.13.2 Broke Sleep

[Squuiid]

In 10.13.4b1 is framebuffer generic AMD for all RX cards and Orinoco for the eGPU Sapphire RX 580 Pulse 8GB only?

Thanks for the reply, is the 'sleep' function working normally with the 10.13.4 update?

I hooked up another monitor to my Gigabyte RX460 4GB (HDMI + DisplayPort/mDP) and now the time-set sleep does not work as before (Sleep after XX nb of minutes as set in System Prefs). The monitors goes to sleep but the computer continues to run. But I can set the computer to sleep manually but choosing "Sleep" in the top left Apple menu.

Anyone try Beta 2 of 10.13.4 and can report if the sleep issue is still fixed like it was in Beta 1?

Mine does not go into sleep mode with 10.13.4 v1. AMD HD7970. Monitor sleeps, computer runs.

Sleep is still working for my RX 580 Nitro 4GB in 10.13.2 Beta 2 (in a MacPro5,1).

My Graphic card is "AMD Radeon R9 M370X", and have same issue (sleep broken) with high sierra 10.13.3.
Also I noticed with Battery mode, sleep mode works perfectly. However, with Power mode，even click sleep option with apple icon on the left top, the screen turned off, but os continue work.

UPDATED: A temporary work around for my issue, after disable Wi-Fi, even with Power mode,
when clicking sleep option, it works expected. I refer to this article but really have no
idea about why...https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201960

I'm seeing the same issue but with an NVIDIA card (NVIDIA GeForce GT 120). Actually did sleep on some of the release versions but will not sleep now and will not sleep on the beta's at all even the latest.

Great News! Sleep is back and working in the latest MacOS 10.13.4 update!!!!

Also, "About this Mac" now correctly shows GPU model as "Radeon RX 460...."

And, in System Report... PCI information now shows PCI devices without showing an error message when a non-EFI GPU is installed...

Great job, Tim!

Works again for me now, with an RX580.

This is good news, they also closed my ticket about it.

I am still having issues with freezing waking up from sleep in 10.13.4.

I have a 2010 MP and a flashed AMD 7950. I only started having the sleep issue with the 10.13.2 update.

My log does not seem to give me any hints as to can be causing it.

10.13.4 is working with my Radeon 7970. But I have to force both display and full sleep. Never starts on its own.

 

[PBookPro]

I'm on 10.13.4 and find my MacBook Pro 2017 has issues waking from sleep while using an eGPU. Most of the time I have to pull out the Thunderbolt cable or hard reset. Not exactly ideal.

This is the Mac Pro section, not the MacBook Pro one. It is possible that your issue is related the one described in this thread, but you're probably better off posting in the correct forum section.

I have a RX480 card which has the sleep problem in 10.13.2 and I chose to go down the "edit plist" route, as it seems more straightforward and more importantly I don't have windows.

Here is my process, incase it helps anyone. There is probably a simpler way of doing it, if so maybe someone can enlighten me.

By following the advice give in various threads...

1. Make sure SIP is disabled and download a copy of Kext Utility
2. find this kext: /System/Library/Extensions/AMD9500Controller.kext and make a duplicate of it in case you need to replace it
3. find this file: /System/Library/Extensions/AMD9500Controller.kext/Contents/Info.plist
4. copy Info.plist to your desktop and then open this copied file in Text Edit
5. search for this text :<key>CFG_FB_LIMIT</key> <integer>0</integer>
6. change it to :<key>CFG_FB_LIMIT</key> <integer>4</integer> The number 4 is the number of ports on the back of the card. I have the reference 480 card if you have a Nitro 480 then the number should be 5 because the Nitro has an extra DVI port on the back.
7. save the edited Info.plist file to your desktop
8. go to /System/Library/Extensions/AMD9500Controller.kext/Contents/ and delete the original info.plist file
9. copy the new version from the desktop to replace the deleted file.
10. run Kext Utility to repair permissions

restart and enjoy!

Also this fixes audio over Displayport.

This seems to work for RX 4xx/5xx cards, in another thread someone tried to do a similar process to fix sleep on their RX Vega 56 but it just ended up with a black screen.


edit 25 jan 2018:

Installed mac OS 10.13.3 from App Store and my edited Kext survived the update. SIP remains disabled.

Does this system work with HD 5770?? Or there is a similar method for this card?
Thank you

HD5770 didn't have sleep issues in 10.13.2. It only affected Polaris GPU's in 10.13.2 in cMP. But, was fixed in 10.13.4.

Also, HD5770 is an official card for cMP and were the stock GPU in 2010 and 2012 Mac Pros.... And, in my experience, never had sleep issues with my own HD5770. I still have it, in case, I need an Apple EFI GPU....

I have 10.13.6 and i can say that HD 5770 have sleep issues...and many other users on the forum have sleep issues with HD5770 and 10.13.6.

So i am asking again...is there a fix for AMD HD 5770 sleeping issue with 10.13.6? Thank you in advance
