[Guide] E7440 with Clover

Recommended Posts

So I went from trying to get QE/CI working on 10.9.3 and then recreated a boot stick with 10.10.1 and applied this > http://www.tonycrapx86.com/yosemite-laptop-support/145427-fix-intel-hd4400-hd4600-mobile-yosemite.html. I can verify that on my HD4400 gfx all artifacting is gone (after following the "Fix for graphic issues" link in the post and applying the patch. Really excited this works now. Even the 1080p touchscreen works. Also if anyone was wondering, I am running the mSATA SSD where the WWAN module originally was and now have an open SATA bay, so I would expect that you could run 2 drives at once (maybe a 1 TB :) ). I figure this was already known but in case anyone had any doubts about OS X 10.10.1 compatibility. 

 

Seems like virtually everything works except the following:

 

1) multitouch -- which I assume can be fixed by this, have not tried yet > https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2545-new-touchpad-driver-for-e6520-alps/

 

2) I can reconfirm that the keyboard keys stick occasionally as previously mentioned, as if you're still holding a key. Also FN + F3 is brightness down and FN+Insert is brightness up. Is there a way to remap this?

 

3) Audio -- seems to work on initial boot about 50% of the time but does not come back after sleep. Still getting the ocean sound in my headphones and I've tried applying the following audio kexts via the kext install wizard to s\l\e, and also followed up with a cache rebuild and permissions repair:

 

HLC 292 listed in OP post #1

AppleHDA 267 listed here in post #4: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/7478-dell-latitude-yosemite-install-guide/&do=findComment&comment=45213

I have also made sure to delete AppleHDAALC.kext and also to remove the 3 v292 patches from the config.plist file. 

 

I have built my own DSDT.aml as described in this guide and also used the one provided by Jake Lo and various other people and that seems to have no effect either. Running BIOS version A10 (looks like they pulled A11)

 

Does anyone see anything I'm missing here? (I own a i5-4300u cpu)

Hi, 

 

Now using my E7240 on 10.10.1 for couple of days, I can confirm your points  2) and 3). 

The main issue with audio is when sleeping for a long period. Then audio speaker will not work after waking up. Same for headphone, the white noise is back.

I may need to sleep again, or to reboot in order to have audio working. 

 

I'm using the AppleHDA v267.

Has anyone had an issue where everything is working fine with 10.10.1 installed with this guide and all of a sudden trying to boot doesn't work anymore.. the loading apple bar gets stuck near the middle.  This happened before and I did a repair on the osx installation dusj with the clover osx base installer usb to boot and this allowed me to boot up again. this happened to me again and now i can't boot. progress bar is stuck in the middle. :/

actually i had to do a repair disk on not the partition but the main disk for it to finally work. i just managed to boot in. Is there some kind of boot image i can load on to a usb that automatically repairs permissions and disks? Having to load up a yosemite install disk to repair disks is kind of tricky for my boss to do. ( His laptop I'm working on ) This is the second time this has prevented booting up to osx.

Thank you - David
