Something I noticed while doing some poking around with this new config — seems that the sound is not working. I’m going to keep hacking on this to see what might have gone awry here. Something suggests to me that one of the patches in the original config (with notes in Chinese) may have been added to fix the audio layout.

Gonna keep poking around at this — it feels so close to done, thanks to all of your help, @Jake Lo, and I definitely want to share this config with others (with caveats of course) once this is good to go. The T460P is an interesting machine and it’s blazing fast with an SSD on Windows.

Sadly, didn't seem to work. I'm gonna need to buy you a beer when we're done here -- I've attached the latest debug log.

debug_14135.zip

Worked well! Waking from sleep when connecting to an external monitor, and initial boot while not connected works. However, I don't have a brightness slider present, and booting from sleep without an external monitor present results in a black screen on the onboard display. I'm not able to adjust the brightness of the onboard display after sleep, so it's a black screen.

and I've attached the debug log -- thanks again for all the help @Jake Lo

Just gave that a shot -- ran into some issues though, it kept giving me errors about `iokit/common` being missing. Tried to just nuke the backlight-level variable while in single user mode, to force that to reset, but it didn't seem to work -- when i run `nvram -p` now, it looks like this

Attached -- I have a few different configs, the one you provided is config_web, which I used right before generating this debug file. It should be in the zip.

debug_29659.zip

Good call. Just tried again with this new config -- brightness keys aren't working, but upon connecting to an external monitor via HDMI, both displays seem to wake up. Just tried to see if the same happened upon waking from sleep as well, but it looks like the onboard display stays black, while the external display works -- at least we know sleep does work! At least this feels closer.

Thanks again for taking a swing at it -- no dice, sadly it's consistently booting to a black screen.

Ah, seems like we're getting somewhere -- thanks for the help @Jake Lo. Changing the value from Clover (tried removing it, as well as `-applbklbeta` on subsequent boots) forces it to load to a black screen on boot. I'd guess then that something having to do with the graphics or device id is maybe misconfigured? Any ideas?

Thanks, @Jake Lo.

Sorry I missed this reply until now. Just did so, cleared kextcache, and rebooted, without a change. Any other ideas? Added the new output below.

Hi everybody --

I've got a T460p that I've got *almost* perfect -- for the life of me, I really can't get brightness control, or sleep working. Would love some help if anybody is able to give it! I've attached the EFI folder etc.
