Dell latitude 7480: trouble with multiple screens and TouchPad under Catalina

I've checked IOReg of my 7490 today with built-in LCD + HDMI & DP off the Dock. Observation: when each output port is used individually (i.e. without the other plugged in), both register against FB@2/port #6. When used simultaneously, this does not change and only 1 display registers under that output port! I've tried to add patches for FB@1/port #5 too but to no avail.

 

I guess this is the reason why both external screens display the same picture, knowing that HDMI appears to take priority (it's the HDMI screen that shows under PrefPane/About This Mac/Display Menu app, never the DP screen, no matter the manner in which the displays get connected.). It's a hardware mirror, not a macOS one!

 

'pretty sure this is the same for your 7480 and more troubleshooting time is required here...

There you go, not supported!

See here for list of supported devices...you'll need an M.2 card.

Atheros are no longer supported, stay away from them.

I have personally tested DW1560, DW1830 and DW1820a.

All working for wifi and BT.

For bluetooth, i have found a working kext. not it only works for intel bluetooth and supports the AC-8256 which is exactly the one i have.

The same person is working on a wifi kext but says it will take some time.
