Thanks @Jake Lo

Ive been using v3 of the bundle for months. Only upgraded to get the brightness key patch I wasn’t able to complete myself. Went back to v3 all works fine  (except my big monitor res of course).   Shouldn’t v7 be a drop in same as previous versions?

I wiped the clover folder this am, clean install of clover and version 7, having issues with graphic (menu isn't clear so I don't think metal is working).

Attached - ran really slow too?

These are all attempts to use the original documentation. I can remove all that and it won't matter.

This one is part of the original bundle.

@MatiWaldi  Personally only have the tint issue on HDMI with a TV.   For the screen res, I've tried changing EID manually, I've tried hackintool.  I still cannot get the machine to respect the aspect of my monitor.   

HDMI or USBC, doesn't matter.  I pulled the info from windows, which of course goes full screen perfectly.  I'm also now getting a dump if I leave it overnight, so I reboot daily.  When it comes back from sleep the USB Dell dock's NIC is DOA and reseating doesn't work, just a reboot.   @Hervé maybe you can look at it?  Am i changing the EDID correctly?  I attached clover, monitor info and the dump file for your inspection.

This screen is immediately after my AM boot, as this is my daily driver.

Model is correct, specs are ignored.  Ram tune is correct. 

Profile matches.

...and thanks for the note. It's summer, been busy.  Would love to figure this out and happy to share logs, data, etc.

@muttonhead411 the video issue I have is I'm using a USB-C hub from lenovo, and that goes via DP to my monitor.  Of course when booting windows I get full resolution.  When booted to macos the highest res I can get is 1920*1080.  this is a 4k monitor. Note the screen below - I've got plenty of memory, no amount of tuning has mattered. I've tried various utilities (switch res) etc.  This is a WQHD+ 3840 x 1600 monitor.

Hi all. I've been using the machine daily for a couple weeks, traveled with it. Fantastic. Even has decent battery life.  I need to fix the display brightness buttons, but that's it functionally.

Still have the issue of the large monitor however. I've tried the hotpatches etc from the various sites. Any ideas on how to get my high res running?

Thanks, JM

I didn’t experience the WiFi slowdowns. Maybe it’s random with that card. 

Anyone have time to look at a 4K monitor issue?  @Hervé this has been my daily driver for two weeks. It’s going well. 

Small update:

Re: bluetooth with my "almost-recommended card" is working fine. I only use a BT mouse, not mobile hotspot.

Re: camera, decided to start working on its own. Initially not detected by zoom or Webex, but after I received an incoming FaceTime call it unexpectedly has been working fine. I wonder if I had to start FT and assign a camera for the rest of the apps to work properly?

IOReg file. @Hervé perhaps you could diff this against yours so I can see if I've got a different version of camera. Pls thanks.

I purchased this one, not realizing the Model matters. Wifi works OOB, BT no.  It's got a nice "genuine" hologram sticker covering part of the info on the front so I know it's genuine. /grin . Using a BT dongle for now. 

Haven't had time to look at the BT. @Hervé the time spent last week was worth it, running well. Not hot (but warmer then windows, I run fusion and a bunch of other stuff) and I need to figure out the key maps for the brightness. FN lock, Audio, sleep FN keys work.  Presenting has been fine too. Need to test HDMI on a TV, lower quality monitors. Yesteday in a presentation the screen was perfect but purple toned. Also the camera isn't working but IO reg sees it. 

Ahh... got it. Don't apologize, you're doing work few can accomplish!  Anyone have an opinion if you were to buy a new Dell today for daily driver and no limitations which would you pick? Don't see a thread on that.

Also, please verify the shasum matches your expected pack.

I deleted the files form EFI entirely and placed yours there. Same result, no trackpad at installer.

Not being obtuse... I dd my usb and am seeing the same thing as @muttonhead411  no trackpad at all.

This is my USB. 

@muttonhead411 does you keyboard light up when you touch the pad?

this is what mine did prior to adding the Kext to /L/E

Thanks @Hervé  I did use #4. The TP didn’t work until I copied the next to /L/E 

I formatted the drive - any chance I missed a partition or something?

@Hervé

Update, had to install kext to L/E. Trackpad works, 3/4" at a time. Not usable for daily driver, hence the recommendation I assume for an external one. 

Any others that might need this?

DP over USB-C works too, but at default resolutions. I had this working at full 4k at one point, but don't recall how I pulled it off.

JM

@Hervé Should I assume I have to install i2c manually?

Your install works fine ( I erased my USB3 SSD and started from scratch) so thank you for that but my trackpad still isn't working. The keys light up when I touch it, so the system does recognize the device to some level.  What data can I provide?

CLOVER.zip

Got it. I’ll reload mine, and report back on the video output (DP over USB-C). 

That's hilarious!

Do gestures work?

I will help u to try this this week.

BTW, have you meet any panic about I2C kext? 

Hi. I figured out I had removed (somehow) the voodoo kext and fixed the keyboard.  Did you have specific I2C satellites you used for the trackpad?  I'll have time to poke at it in a few hours.

At this point I have three issues, the USB-C nic doesn't reconnect after sleep, the trackpad and most important to me is the external monitor issue - I've made a transition and have loaded the machine up with work and am on it daily now (even using docker and fusion), it's been reliable.

I still don't know what to look at deeper for the USB-C DP video issue. Any ideas? It's detecting my monitor incorrectly.

Umm... oops?   Took a look a min ago an noticed the voodoops2 driver was gone somehow was missing and readded  it so fixing the builtin keys.

Update: I think the reason is ssdtPRGen.sh, in this repo, there is no info for i5-8250u, i will try to find the related info and run it.  

 

Update +: Generated ssdt.aml and place at paych,  it did not work, the CPU frequency also maintain at 3.1G. 

Mine is running low and ramping properly. @persistz if you try the efi I just uploaded do you have the same problem?

Hi all, update: USB audio seems to be fine via Dock, as is the USB-C nic in my dock. Driver from realtek site was necessary as 8153 is not part of AppleUSBECM afaict.

The onboard NIC also works fine using  i219 driver. I did have some trouble getting onboard to "built-in" status but the EFI string added to config.plist seems to be doing the trick.

I seem to have broken my onboard keyboard however... Yes the trackpad was jittery but now neither work. Not sure what I did to hurt it.  EFI attached.

Also, the app store no longer works and iMessage locked me out. I'm looking for a used mac to grab a guid from. /wink.
