How to Fix Black screen at login unless I unplug a screen

This mini-guide provides a structural approach to troubleshoot and fix the issue.

Prerequisites

  • Confirm your hardware specifications (CPU, GPU, Motherboard).
  • Ensure you have a bootable recovery USB and backup your EFI.

Fix Steps

  1. Check if your GPU requires WhateverGreen or specific boot-args (e.g., agdpmod=pikera).
  2. Ensure Metal acceleration is fully supported for your macOS version.
  3. Update Lilu and WhateverGreen to the latest versions.

Verification

  • Reboot and verify if the functionality is restored and stable under typical usage.

Original Question:

  • Asus Prime a x299
  • Intel i7 9800x
  • Amd w5500 gpu
  • Big Sur 11.2.3
  • OpenCore 0.6.7

I installed via the guide. And I have a working system. Except for one annoying issue.

I've two monitors hooked up via displayport. Boot messages show up fine. But when I get to the login screen I get black screens. The computer seems to be working aside from the video output. What resolves it is if I unplug one screen and then replug it in. That gets the monitor output working and all is well.

But this is annoying to have to do every time I start my computer. Is there any fix to this?
