DisplayPort Problem

Q: What is a Hackintosh?

A non-Apple computer configured to run macOS using compatible PC hardware combined with a custom bootloader and configuration files to emulate a real Mac environment.

Q: Is building a Hackintosh legal?

Installing macOS on non-Apple hardware violates Apple’s End User License Agreement (EULA). It is generally not illegal for personal experimentation but not permitted for commercial use.

Q: What hardware is best for a Hackintosh?

The best hardware closely matches real Apple systems, with Intel CPUs (6th Gen to Core Ultra), AMD Radeon GPUs, compatible chipsets, and Intel-based Wi-Fi cards offering higher success rates.

Q: Can I build a Hackintosh with an AMD CPU?

Yes, macOS can run on AMD Ryzen CPUs using kernel patches, but Intel CPUs provide better native compatibility.

Q: What is OpenCore?

OpenCore is a modern Hackintosh bootloader that provides near-native macOS behavior and is the recommended bootloader for new installations.

Q: Is Clover still supported?

Yes, Clover is still supported but less recommended compared to OpenCore for modern systems.

Q: Which macOS versions support Hackintosh?

Hackintosh systems support macOS versions from Leopard up to recent releases, depending on hardware compatibility.

Q: Do NVIDIA graphics cards work on Hackintosh?

Only older NVIDIA GPUs work on older macOS versions; modern NVIDIA GPUs are incompatible with current macOS releases due to lack of driver support.

Q: What is an EFI folder?

The EFI folder contains the bootloader, drivers, kexts, and configuration files required to boot macOS on a Hackintosh.

Q: What are kexts?

Kexts (kernel extensions) are drivers that enable hardware functionality such as audio, Ethernet, USB, and graphics.

Hi guys,

I'm having issues with my displayport. recently installed SwitchResX and accidentally selected the wrong resolution for my monitor. Right after my monitor went blank and shows "input not supported"

After following instruction from SwitchResX by deleted monitor profiles, the problem still persist.

Strangely, when I connect an HDMI cable to my GPU, I'm able to login pass the apple logo. (unable to do this using displayport)

I've tried various things and nothing seems to work even in safe mode.

I've attached my bootlog.txt for your reference and also video link. Would appreciate some help.

GPU: Sapphire Nitro+ RX580 8GB

Monitor: Acer ED273

OS: Mojave 10.14.1

SwitchResX is not required for rx 580 cards only lilu + whatevergreen are needed as like Maldon mentioned you'll have to reinstall

Here's the link to the solution I used:
