Now use F11 & F12 for Brightness, use F1, F2, & F3 for Volumes Control (Keyboards with same/similar layout will work with custom xml above too) Note1: Personally use SmartScroll for Trackstick scrolling with Inertia. Don't really use Touchpad, 2 fingers scrolling and tap and drag does work. Note2: Please use this beta version of ssdPRGen.sh generate SSDT.aml for Skylake system Note3: If you're installing Sierra, there's a known artifact issue on the upper left corner!

Try the config in the E6540 bootpack

How did you manage to fix the boot issue? For audio, did you install codecCommander & AppleHDA_ALC255 to /L/E and repair permission and rebuild cache?

check DVMT again, make sure it didn't revert back to 0x01 or 0x02 it's definitely not loading your graphics

Try booting without cache...

Check network preference, see if you could add a Wi-fi profile.

Did you set the DVMT to 96MB (0x03)?

Check to see if you have only 1 memory stick, move it to Slot A

snoopers, Make sure to go to the Update section post #4 for the latest AppleHDA_IDT. You need the SSDT for power management and sleep. The reason you don't have SSDT.aml probably because you're missing IASL. Download this . Uncompress and save it to /usr/bin. Run the SSDTPrgen.sh again.

Apply these for brightness OS X Check Fix (Windows 8) Brightness Fix

If your DSDT is working so far with DropOEM enabled, try adding these to your DSDT: Rename B0D3 to HDAU = for HDMI Audio Rename GFX0 to IGPU = power management OS X Check Fix (Windows 8) USB series 7/ series 8 RTC fix Fix Mutex

See here for info. Add the patches to your Config hot patch.

Can you post the error when using the DSDT with dropOEM enabled? I think you mean Karabiner with the private.xml file didn't work? Did you reload the xml and enable them? Remap Brightness Key' & 'Remap Volumes Key'

You must not be using my E7450 update bootpack, it has all the hot patches for hand-off

What Bronxteck said to go to your BIOS and add a new boot option under UEFI and point it to /EFI/Clover/Cloverx64.efi Make sure to copy Kexts folder (mainly FakeSMC) and Drivers64UEFI if you have additional files other than the default like HFSPlus.efi.

I updated to 10.11.6, no issue with audio.

Hmm, you might me missing some other system files if IOBluetoothFamily was missing. I see you're on 10.11.3, why don't you upgrade to the latest 10.11.6, it might replace all the missing files. Beyond that, you might just have to reinstall.

Check here under Core Storage. If in fact that's what you have, follow it to revert. Reboot with USB installer, selecting your HDD. Install Clover again. Copy your Clover folder from your USB installer to the EFI partition of you HDD.

Here, try this. In config file, under SSDT, enable DropOEM. I believe your keyboard has similar layout as my E7450. Follow the post install to change the Fn for audio and brightness control themightyquinn.zip

Remove all files in Origin and Patched folder. Reboot to Clover GUI, hit F4. Then boot to OS X, compress and upload Origin folder here. I'll patch them for you. Issue with my files could be due to different BIOS version. If you want to figure out how to patch them yourself, see here for some basic help.

Yes, it's safe.

You'll need ACPIPoller.kext as well along with the patches in my DSDT

My apologies for not doing a better research. Thanks Hervé. It would be interesting to see how well it'll run MacOS on it.

Install these to /L/E or /S/L/E, then repair permission and rebuild cache BrcmPatchRAM2 BrcmFirmwareRepo
