armino Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Hi there, i have installed El Capitan on my E5440 following this guide und treating it as a E7440. https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/8506-dell-latitude-inspiron-el-capitan-clover-guide Basically everything is working out of the box: QE, Sound (after sleep), Camera, Ethernet, Battery info, ... The only things that is not working are card reader and the external display connectors. Here's what the system report says: Intel HD Graphics 4400: Chipset Model: Intel HD Graphics 4400 Type: GPU Bus: Built-In VRAM (Dynamic, Max): 1536 MB Vendor: Intel (0x8086) Device ID: 0x0412 Revision ID: 0x000b Displays: Display: Resolution: 1600 x 900 @ 60 Hz Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888) Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Built-In: Yes When i plug in the HDMI connector the system freezes and when boot -v with the HDMI already connected i see a kernel panic... Q: Is it even possible to make the VGA connector work? Thanks, Armin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted July 18, 2016 Moderators Share Posted July 18, 2016 You shouldn't use DSDT from a different system. That's why your SD card reader and HDMI are not working. Boot to Clover GUI, hit F4. Then boot to OS X. Mount the EFI partition. Compress and upload /EFI/Clover/ACPI/Origin. I'll patch it for you. Run IOReg IORegistryExplorer_v2.1.zip and save the file, compress and attach it too. No, VGA is not capable in this model, last known working VGA is on an IvyBridge system.

Moderators Jake Lo Posted July 19, 2016 Moderators Share Posted July 19, 2016 Try this. Replace the Config file too armino_E5440.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armino Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 HDMI works now, thank you! However, in your config.pst AppleHDA#4 was disabled and i had no sound. I have enabled it and now everything works perfectly well. Internal sound, audio via hdmi and audio after sleep. -Armin e5440_everything_working_.10.11.5.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted July 20, 2016 Moderators Share Posted July 20, 2016 Oops, missed that. Was originally used for Yosemite and didn't need that patch. Is the SD Card reader working too? Your signature shows E7440, do you have that too or typo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armino Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 The SD card reader is now listed in the system report...so i suspect it is working: Built in SD Card Reader: Vendor ID: 0x1217 Device ID: 0x8520 Subsystem Vendor ID: 0x1028 Subsystem ID: 0x05de Revision: 0x0001 Link Width: x1 Link Speed: 2.5 GT/s I have no card available right now...so not a single byte actually transmitted...but in the unlikely event the thing does not work, i will complain here See my updated signature for the complete device list.. -Armin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted July 20, 2016 Moderators Share Posted July 20, 2016 I see you have E7470 too, so you skipped a generation. Going from Haswell to Skylake skipping Broadwell. Honestly my Broadwell E7450 so far works the best. E7470 is coming around, but have no HDMI Audio support and SD card support yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
