satchitananda Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Hi Jake Low , I too have the same hardware the Dell Latitude E6540 with i7 4810MQ , Intel HD 4600 graphics , 16 Gig ram , 500gig hard drive and Radeon 8790M . My Bios is at A21 as that is the latest Bios on the Dell Support Page for the Latitude e6540 , unless I am mistaken. Using your files , just changing the serial number with clover configurator, I have for the first time successfully installed Sierra 10.12.6 so a big thank you. I use the Fake PCIID.Kext and Fake PCIID Intel HD Graphics for smooth graphic operation. My problem is when trying to install High Sierra 10.13.0 or 10.13.3 I can not get past the initial boot phase as the graphics become scrambled and unusable? Do you have any suggestions ? Also one small thing everytime Sierra boots the display brightness slider value is always at around %20 any suggestions. I'd be very grateful for any assistance , thanks.

Moderators Jake Lo Posted January 30, 2018 Moderators Share Posted January 30, 2018 A22 was the latest, it suppose to fix the recent Meltdown vulnerability. I guess Dell must have pulled it The bootpack I attached is for High Sierra. The fakepcIID kexts are inside /kexts/Other/LE which you move to /Library/Extensions during post Install Post a screenshot of the issue you're having while installing HS. The brightness level is hardcoded in the Config file "BacklightLevel", it should be 50%, but you could try changing it to a different value.

satchitananda Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Thank you for your fast reply I really appreciate your help The backlight level in the config file is displayed as " 0x0306 " I'm not sure how to understand that value , how would I go about changing it to increase the value to 100% ? Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted January 30, 2018 Moderators Share Posted January 30, 2018 0x0 -> 0xffff 0xffff being the highest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted January 30, 2018 Administrators Share Posted January 30, 2018 In other words, it's a 16bit (2 x bytes) value to be expressed in Hexadecimal in the range 0 to 65535. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunilkumar Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Dell e6540 Alps Trackpad is not smoothly working. How to fix this ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted January 30, 2018 Administrators Share Posted January 30, 2018 It should be with Bronxteck-compiled R6 version available here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunilkumar Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 I tried this version in 10.13.1. Keyboard and mouse stopped working. Do I need to replace this in /EFI/CLOVER/Kexts also ? I used this in macOS extensions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted January 30, 2018 Moderators Share Posted January 30, 2018 @sunilkumar Also??? You should replace it into /EFI/Clover/kexts/Other If you have an other PS2 kexts in ../kext/Other, /S/L/E, or /L/E, remove them. Repair permission and rebuild cache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satchitananda Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Thank you again Jake! Yes by changing the value to 0xffff the brightness issue has resolved so that everytime I startup Sierra it loads in at full brightness so happy! It's the little things like that that I feel can take away from the Hackintosh experience so when it gets resolved it's great. I will share screen shots with you of HighSierra not working soon. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and being so helpful and informative ... Very grateful ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
