Asxetos Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Hi all, As the title says, i have a Latitude 5580 - i5-6440hq Skylake cpu with HD530 graphics, plus discrete Nvidia 940MX graphics and Thunderbolt-3. I have already swapped intel wifi with a DW1830, and have a Catalina VM installed on VMware for creating the install drive. I searched the forum but a haven't seen a similar setup (most are for the "U" cpu's with HD520 graphics). Can you point me to a suitable bootpack? Thanks... (I am wondering if Nvidia-940mx and thunderbolt can work...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted February 14, 2020 Administrators Share Posted February 14, 2020 Nope, GeForce 940MX is Maxwell, so it's dead in the water (on top of the well-known lack of support for Optimus) ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Jake Lo Posted February 14, 2020 Moderators Share Posted February 14, 2020 You can try with my Clover guide here and use the attached bootpack. Files goes into /EFI/Clover replacing the old 5580_DiscreteDisable.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asxetos Posted February 15, 2020 Author Share Posted February 15, 2020 Thanks Jake Lo but your bootpack panics on my laptop. Searching and reading around, i assembled this: CLOVER-Boot.zip Which at least boots and let's me install. However only graphics, wifi (dw1830), ethernet, sound (only speakers, no headphones out), and battery work. I have not: Keyboard (LOL) Bluetooth (probably because i didn't copy the kexts to lib/ext, i wanted the basics first) LCD brightness SSD trim Freezes on shutdown (haven't checked sleep yet). Other stuff i didn't bother to check yet. All the clover setup, kexts, ssdt's etc is mindboggling... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted February 15, 2020 Moderators Share Posted February 15, 2020 Remove the following kext: ApplePS2Controller.kext AppleBacklightFixup.kext Install the kexts found in CopyToLE to /L/E especially CodecCommander to fix the headphone The other 3 kexts are for Bluetooth. Add the attach *.aml to /E/C/A/Patched. I2C = touchpad ALC256 = fix audio after wake Replace Config file, made a few adjustment. fixes.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asxetos Posted February 15, 2020 Author Share Posted February 15, 2020 Thanks a lot Jake Lo, A lot got fixed with the changes you made: Keyboard (incl. function keys), Touchpad (incl. buttons and nub joystick), Bluetooth, SSD Trim. LCD Brightness and Sleep are not working (doesn't sleep, the fan keeps spinning and wakes up in a few seconds), and shutdown and reboot are let's say unpredictable. Still had freezing on shutdown, and panic on reboot. This is the reboot panic screenshot. I have no idea how to fix those... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted February 16, 2020 Moderators Share Posted February 16, 2020 Does this occur before the changes on reboot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asxetos Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 I honestly can't say for sure, I can undo the changes and find out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asxetos Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 All i can see is unpredictable behavior. Even though some things get fixed, the system behaves weird. I have freezing on shutdown AND reboot (on the down faze of the reboot), panic on restart, but NOT always. After some use and some restarts i lost sound completely so i reverted. Then reapplied and sound was present, but the last weird thing was when i tried to check sound on headphones the system froze completely. And now i have a headache ... PS. On another post i saw you advise (for a 5580 also) changing the sound layout to 13 or 56. Mine is 11. Perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
