sleo Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Hey guys, I new here. I have the same model of Dell E7440 as in the post https://osxlatitude.com/forums/topic/13071-dell-latitude-e7440-catalina-10154. I just install Catalina 10.15.7 using the guide from the link. Everything works fine, expect below things: - Highlighting contextual menu links - Rollover and magnification effect on the dock - Drag and drop - Trackpad Right click (flickering effect) & scrolling problem - Hot corners Those things are really frustrating, and I have the same problems also on Mojave. Any idea how to manage them? I will be really appreciated. Below, also screen recording to this case. 480_Screen Recording 2021-03-15 at 20.42.01.mov.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted March 15, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 15, 2021 You did adjust the relevant PrefPanes for Dock effects and Hot corners, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleo Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 Yes, sure. I also playing around Accessibility -> Pointer Control -> Trackpad Options, but without success. Strange that mostly none before me noted those bugs in their E7xxx guides. Googling unfortunately also not give a hope, only old dated & not solved posts as: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/help-dock-magnification-menus-hot-corners-not-working.322786/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleo Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 I ataching also my EFI folder & config.plist. I didn't not copy any additional kexts to Library -> Extension, or System -> Library -> Extension; just copied EFI folder to EFI mounted partition (as in guide).

sleo Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 Update: I playing around: - VoodooPS2Controller.kext - VoodooPS2ControllerR6.kext - ApplePS2Controller.kext & - VoodooPS2Trackpad.kext - VoodooPS2Keyboard.kext Conclusion: 1. VoodooPS2Controller.kext with external mouse works great: all above mentioned problems with dock, hot corners, drag and drop, etc dissapear. But unfortunately, trackpad with this kext not working at all. 2. ApplePS2Controller.kext - trackpad works, but only with left button. Right one, not working, scrolling, drag and droping, and other gestures also not working. An External mouse with this kext works, but with dock, hot corners, etc. problems. 3. VoodooPS2ControllerR6.kext - problems mentioned in my first post: Highlighting contextual menu links, Rollover and magnification effect on the dock, Drag and drop, Trackpad Right click (flickering effect) & scrolling problem, Hot corners. External mouse works with this kext, but with this additional problems. So, actually I stay with solution: VoodooPS2Controller.kext + external mouse, without trackpad.

sleo Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 Thank you for response. Unfortunately this kext not solve the problems. Similar effect like with VoodooPS2ControllerR6.kext, described in my previous post point 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baio77 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 @sleo Your configuration seems to have I2C in ACPI test https://github.com/VoodooI2C/VoodooI2C/releases/tag/2.6.5 post Ioreg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted March 17, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 17, 2021 Not looked into the provided Clover EFI folder and config in details but I can see that the patched DSDT already contains several/many of subsequent patches offered through the accompanying SSDT or set in the config. Not quite certain of the benefits of duplicating things here, in fact, possibly the contrary. Example #1: iGPU device in patched DSDT: iGPU properties injection & Graphics in config: Example #2: EHCx and XHC devices in patched DSDT: SSDT-EH0x/SSDT-XHC injected tables: I would suggest returning to a more basic setup without duplicates (especially ACPI patches) to begin with.

sleo Posted March 17, 2021 Author Share Posted March 17, 2021 Ok, thank you for your replies. According to @Baio77 - I downloaded and installed all VoodooI2C kexts (the core VoodooI2C.kext + all satellites kexts), but in effect neither the trackpad, nor the keyboard work. But anyway, I export ioreg: "sleo’s_E7440_Voodool2C" with this setup. I also downloaded actual version of VoodooPS2Controller.kext (which is the best for me so far, even with dead trackpad) and also exported second ioreg with this kext: "sleo’s_E7440_VoodooPS2". Both attached below. @Hervé - To be true, I never playing around DTST/SSDT. So I just downloaded and instaled Iasl, MaciASL; disassembled my DSTD/SSDT *aml to *dsl and I have located inside of them the lines of the code from your screen shoots. So I'm not sure yet exactly which lines of code I should remove ... I need to analize the code in depth. I will be really grateful for any advise on this matter. sleo’s_E7440_Voodool2C.ioreg sleo’s_E7440_VoodooPS2.ioreg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
