How to Fix DisplayPort doesn't wake up from sleep (Catalina)

Graphics issues usually stem from an unsupported GPU, missing acceleration patches, or incorrect boot arguments.

Quick Fix Steps

  1. Verify GPU support: Check if your GPU model is natively supported in your target macOS version via WhateverGreen documentation.
  2. Update kexts: Ensure Lilu and WhateverGreen are current and loaded before other GPU-related kexts.
  3. Check boot arguments: Add -v keepsyms=1 debug=0x100 for debugging, or agdpmod=pikera for modern AMD cards.
  4. Test Metal support: Open About This Mac > System Report > Graphics and confirm Metal is listed.

Verification

  • Graphics acceleration is smooth (not CPU-bound).
  • Metal is reported in System Information.
  • No GPU-related kernel panics on boot.

Original Question: "DisplayPort doesn't wake up from sleep (Catalina)"

I've just set up a Lenovo M720Q Tiny using Dortania's Opencore guide. The system works perfectly... with one exception.

After a short sleep, the external display (via DP) will wake up along with the rest of the system when I hit the keyboard or click the mouse.

After a longer sleep (presumably it goes into a different type of sleep), the display doesn't wake up. I have to unplug and plug back in the DP connector to wake it up.

A few details:

  • I'm running Catalina 10.15.4.
  • Intel i5-8400T with UHD 630 iGPU.
  • OpenCore 0.6.1
  • Hibernatemode is set to 0.
  • I've tried the boot argument igfxonln=1 but this hasn't solved the problem.
  • I also tried adding a acpi-wake-type key to DeviceProperties - no improvement.
  • config.plist is at https://pastebin.com/R86vqe73 (with PlatformInfo removed)

Any hints gratefully received!
