Thinkpad T460P Mojave -- almost perfect (no sleep, brightness control)

[metropolis]

Attached -- I have a few different configs, the one you provided is config_web, which I used right before generating this debug file. It should be in the zip.

try resetting nvram

 

sudo nvram -c

 

[metropolis]

Just gave that a shot -- ran into some issues though, it kept giving me errors about `iokit/common` being missing. Tried to just nuke the backlight-level variable while in single user mode, to force that to reset, but it didn't seem to work -- when i run `nvram -p` now, it looks like this

Shows backlight level = 0%

Try this, remove SSDT-PNLF.aml from Patched folder. Enable AddPNLF in Config.plist file

 

[metropolis]

Worked well! Waking from sleep when connecting to an external monitor, and initial boot while not connected works. However, I don't have a brightness slider present, and booting from sleep without an external monitor present results in a black screen on the onboard display. I'm not able to adjust the brightness of the onboard display after sleep, so it's a black screen.

 

NVRAM output is below:

and I've attached the debug log -- thanks again for all the help @Jake Lo

could be issue with your drivers. Remove these from drivers64UEFI

Sadly, didn't seem to work. I'm gonna need to buy you a beer when we're done here -- I've attached the latest debug log.

Something I noticed while doing some poking around with this new config — seems that the sound is not working. I’m going to keep hacking on this to see what might have gone awry here. Something suggests to me that one of the patches in the original config (with notes in Chinese) may have been added to fix the audio layout.

 

Gonna keep poking around at this — it feels so close to done, thanks to all of your help, @Jake Lo, and I definitely want to share this config with others (with caveats of course) once this is good to go. The T460P is an interesting machine and it’s blazing fast with an SSD on Windows.
