WhateverGreen is a Lilu kernel extension (kext) plugin that applies various patches to ATI/AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA GPUs on macOS, primarily for Hackintosh systems. It fixes black screens, sleep/wake issues, connector and multimonitor problems, and enables hardware video encode/decode on otherwise unsupported cards.

Use cases

• fix black screen on boot with AMD or NVIDIA GPU on a Hackintosh
• fix sleep wake black screen on AMD graphics in macOS
• enable multimonitor support with corrected connector patches
• enable hardware video encoding on unsupported Radeon cards
• fix choppy video playback on Intel Kaby Lake and newer
• enable DisplayPort to HDMI 2.0 output via LSPCON on Intel graphics
• boot macOS without GPU video acceleration for troubleshooting
• use NVIDIA web drivers with Metal apps without transparent window glitches

When to choose

• you are building or maintaining a Hackintosh and need GPU compatibility patches
• your AMD, Intel, or NVIDIA GPU shows black screens, distorted boot, or broken multimonitor on macOS
• you need HDMI audio or DP-to-HDMI 2.0 fixes on Intel integrated graphics

When to avoid

• you run macOS on genuine Mac hardware with supported GPUs
• you need a general-purpose graphics driver rather than macOS kernel patches
• your project is not using the Lilu kext framework
