Moderators Jake Lo Posted November 15, 2020 Moderators Share Posted November 15, 2020 That's the best platform-id from Skylake laptop. Check System Information, does it not show HD 540? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahalol Posted November 15, 2020 Author Share Posted November 15, 2020 i managed to use -igfxvesa to bypass the system set up. Then i changed platform-id to 0x19260000. what did you use originally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahalol Posted November 15, 2020 Author Share Posted November 15, 2020 thank you! i also noticed that the trackpad doesn't work, could it be i don't have a trackpoint? i also noticed applePS2 and voodooPS2 coexist in the kext folder. is applePS2 not used?

Moderators Jake Lo Posted November 15, 2020 Moderators Share Posted November 15, 2020 Your system might have a slightly different model of touchpad. That's why I included 2 touchpad kexts. You can disable the VoodooPS2 and enable ApplePS2, make sure to enable the plugins too. Note that with ApplePS2, it's pretty old so there's a slight issue with cap lock. You need to tap it twice to enable and twice to disable. You won't see touchpad in preferences but both touchpad and trackpoint works. For the trackpoint scrolling to work, I use SmartScroll.app to enable the middle mouse. It's shareware, but pretty cheap if you want the full version. What do you mean you don't have trackpoint? It's physically missing or it's not working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahalol Posted November 15, 2020 Author Share Posted November 15, 2020 I managed to get trackpad working now after changing to your e7470 boot pack (previously using e7270). my device doesn't have the trackpoint physically. i think my variant is not the common one. However, i found this person also made a version of the refined alps kext, although it doesn't work on my machine, you may want to try: https://github.com/1Revenger1/VoodooPS2-Alps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted November 15, 2020 Moderators Share Posted November 15, 2020 Yes, I know of 1Revenger1's version of Alps touchpad, it works fine on my E7270 without trackpoint but not work well on my E7470 that has a trackpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahalol Posted November 15, 2020 Author Share Posted November 15, 2020 that's a pity. I reached out to 1Revenger for some help. Hopefully, he can respond and shine some light on e7470. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
