First of all, congrats for the great work on this, I'm seeing a lot of users reporting success using nootedred kext.
Please, when you have some time, please take a look on my issue. Maybe solving this will help someone else with similar problem.
I'm using the last build.
Describe the bug
I used the NootInc Guide, then Dortania's opencore guide, and some other guides/forums on the Internet.
I've installed MacOS Ventura using whatevergreen kext, and it boots fine using it, no acceleration of course.
When I change to nooted red, after the debug messages (I've verbose mode enabled), when it tries to go into GUI mode, the screen turns off/goes black.
I'm using 2GB shared memory to vram, and enabled above 4g decoding, both using UMAF tool.
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Install the system after creating custom opencore EFI, with usb mapping, and boot-args disabling dGPU and using ncpi=0x2000. Secure boot disabled. ACPI mapping was done using Windows SSDTtime, added kext to turn dGPU off as well.
- Use UMAF tool to enable 4G decoding and set 2GB to VRAM, check on windows that its working (need to keep bios setting for vram as auto, or it will use 512MB otherwise)
- Check it still boots fine and have GUI using whatevergreen.
- Disable whatevergreen, enable nootedred, and boot.
- Now after the boot messages, the screen is black.
Expected behavior
We expected to see login screen instead of black screen.

Additional context
Sorry to bother you with this one, but I've tried everything that I could. I've seen similar but not same issues reported here, like issue #52 , #120 and #124 . But with what was said I was not able to make it work. Please, let me know if you need more info, I can run commands using the ssh access or using VNC access, one weird thing is that using VNC when nootedred is enabled is more responsive than using whatevergreen.
