  1. Would this be relevant if I'm trying to enable gestures on an e7470 on High Sierra? 2-finger tap and 2-finger scroll work, but more than 2 fingers don't seem to work. Is it perhaps a hardware limitation? When I go into System Preferences, the Trackpad pane says "Looking for a trackpad, no trackpad detected"
  2. Thanks. I think we can call this topic solved. I’m not worried about the mic-in on the headphone jack. My main headset is USB anyway. Thank you for all the help!
  3. I did indeed attempt to switch it manually to the external mic via sound preference pane. The option for "line in mic" did not show any movement on the sound meter. Whereas with Bluetooth and built-in mic they both showed movement, and testing through various applications confirmed that there was no input detected from the external mic. In an unrelated topic, I am trying to follow this guide but I can't get the link to download the m6700.zip package. I keep getting an error message from the website. Does someone have that file somewhere? I have an M6700 I'm also attempting to install on (will make a separate help topic if I run into issues) and my setup is identical to his. So figured I'd give it a shot. Would rather the m6700 be my hackbook pro than the e7470.
  4. Alright. Confirmed. 1366x768 is native resolution. So how was it able to match resolution of TV? That's odd. So I guess only issue I have then is the headphone jack not detecting mic-in on hybrid headsets.
  5. Alright. Here's where I'm at. Audio jack works, but is not recognizing headsets with mics on the same device (only one headphone jack, I'm sure you know this lol). Sleep seems to work fine, no issues with sound/wifi/anything afterwards. bluetooth works. Tested with an audio device, registered both mic and audio output on the headset. HDMI works, including HDMI Audio, however when I was testing that, I found a weird issue. I realized that my laptop is currently only running at 1366x768. When plugged into the TV, it switched scaling for both the TV and the built-in monitor to 1080p. I know from when windows was installed that the laptop is natively 1080p, but when not plugged into the TV, it refuses to give 1080p as an option to set the display to. Can't test DisplayPort, as I have no way of doing so currently, Will test that another day, however I don't think I'll ever use it. TL;DR Scaling on the internal display won't get to 1080p (the display is capable) Audio jack is not recognizing mic-in on headsets. Otherwise everything is fine.
  6. Purchased and received a DW1830, installed it with literally zero changes to any of the settings and everything just worked OOB. So now, I am looking at what seems to be a fully-working install on this e7470. Is there anything else I should check? What are the typical "ok, I'm set" check list items? I haven't tested sleep, I haven't tested external displays. What's working: Wifi Mouse (both track pad and track point) Keyboard Sound Backlighting Booting from internal Webcam Hotkeys (although they're mapped to a Mac keyboard, not a huge issue, and I'm sure this can be changed later) What else should I be checking for functionality?
  7. That makes sense. Well, in any case, once the wifi card comes in, what will need to be changed? The whole thing? or just bits and pieces?
  8. You are a master at this. if I may ask, what did you change? What do you look for? How do you edit your files/configs? I've always been fascinated by this world but never have had the time to dig into it very deeply. To give a status update, I am successfully and typing from a seemingly fully-working instance of High Sierra 10.13.6 with clover v2 r4449. As far as I can tell it's working as well as I'd hope. Now just to wait for the WiFi card to come in. Thank you so much!
  9. I'm attempting that now. Currently, it's been sitting on the attached screen for the last 10 minutes...how long should I give it before I call it a failed boot? Also, Should I be modifying the config.plist or should I be leaving it as-is? I saw a few changes that were mentioned in the tutorials I was attempting to follow, but I couldn't see exactly where I was supposed to modify what and the versions of configurator were different so mentioned locations weren't the same.
  10. Hi folks. I've set Bios to defaults, enabled AHCI, disabled virtualization options. I was never able to get the createinstallmedia option to work, so I've been using the macOS High Sierra Patcher to write the image to USB drives and then proceed from there to install clover. Bios version: 1.17.5 Specs: i5-6300u 1x8GB DDR4 Module Intel 8260 (waiting on wifi card purchased to replace this) 256gb m.2 Sata Used the method for High Sierra here and the E7470_1.17.5_HS.zip boot pack found in This Post. Using a USB 2.0 drive, installed clover v2 4k_r4429, setting up for UEFI and selecting the necessary driver as notated in the above guide. if I leave things stock, I get various kernel panics. I have tried various versions and mixes of different kexts and config.plist modifications, and it either get's stuck somewhere, or it KP's with various kexts loaded. I'm in the process of starting over with a completely different USB Drive from scratch. I've attached my current compressed EFI.zip folder that includes the latest DSDT extraction from clover. Thanks in advance for any help! EFI.zip
