Yes, setting DVMT is a prerequisite.

You can also install Clover to your External drive with files for Sierra. When you launch Cloverxx.pkg, select change install location and select the external drive, then customize to set your option. Reboot system. Select F12 during boot and select boot from your external USB drive and it'll load Clover from that drive.

Is this 128 or 256GB Liteon SSD? There's suppose to be some firmware upgrade. http://www.dell.com/support/Article/us/en/04/QNA42708/EN or http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=T7R1K

See here for building Installer. Read here for more info and bootpack. Does your system have the Nvidia graphics too?

Indeed there's an ON/OFF switch on the right side for the E7440 system.

Not running 10.12.1 PB4, so can't tell you. you could try this sudo pmset hibernatemode 0 sudo rm -f /var/vm/sleepimage sudo pmset hibernatefile /dev/null

Why not just install Clover to the external drive and update the EFI/Clover files there?

Even with Legacy Bios, you should still have EFI partition. Check to see if you have Corestorage. in terminal, enter diskutil cs list or diskutil list and you'll find a virtual drive if exist.

Boot into OS X, mount the EFI partition, you'll see that /EFI/Clover/ACPI/Origin has all the extracted raw files. Compress the folder and attach it here.

Looks like you have full QE/CI, what is the issue?

Try this DSDT

Boots off USB fine on my end. Please upload your Clover folder. Probably just need to enable USB: inject, Add ClockID, and FixOwnerShip in the Config file.

Most likely you have the newer BIOS version. Known issue for Dell Exx30 models where BIOS version over A12 causes artifacts. If you have something newer, you'll have to downgrade to A03 and then upgrade to A12.

No file attached.

Looks right.

R5beta1: The infamous trackstick mouse jumping 45 degree to the right is back when you lift your finger. Middle button scrolling is no longer working Can't click and drag window with trackstick Can't right click or select cuz trackstick keep jumping to the right 45 degree Can't highlight with trackstick

The kext I linked is for your keyboard/touchpad. Sorry, I thought that was implied.

This Lenovo has an Elantouch touchpad, try this. Remove any PS2 controller kext you may have installed. Just place the kext in /EFI/Clover/Kexts/Other or 10.11 depending on what you're using. As for Wifi, if you have an Intel, it's unsupported. Either use a supported USB wifi or a supported card that's not whitelisted by Lenovo. I think I saw one with Lenovo branded DW1560 somewhere.

See Hervé's guide here for his E6440.

Your config has patches for ALC282, your system has ALC668. Take a look at my Dell Optiplex 9030 AIO bootpack. it's also Haswell with ALC668 running on Clover.

You need to restore a vanilla version of that file, it's needed for this wireless device to work. The hot patches are done with the Config.plist file. After replacing the kext and fix permission/rebuild cache, then reboot. See if it shows in System information.

Screen distortion usually came after "waiting for root device" which is a USB detection issue. Try the combo USB/Esata port.

that might be due to the patched AppleHDA which I didn't create. Wern has a different version with layout-id set to 0. Have not personally try it.

Replace with this config updated boot glitch patch for Sierra added addition HDA patch for Sierra config.plist.zip
