Using the files from Jake's Clover guide I have 2 USB 3.0 ports on the right side working, and one USB 2.0/Esata on the left side.

Have you installed Clover onto the HDD with El Capitan and pointed the BIOS to CLOVERX64.EFI in the EFI partition? I followed Jake's El Capitan Clover guide for my E6430 and it worked well. There is a DSDT for the 1600x900 in the second post (under ivy bridge).

Those screen artifacts were exactly what I was seeing on my E6430 (no s) in this thread. I had to downgrade to the earliest available bios, which for that model was A03. At that point the laptop would no longer boot from my EFI Clover install. Didn't matter, I then upgraded to A07 and graphics glitches were gone. I've left it at A07 (if it ain't broke, don't fix it). Also, I am using the E6230 DSDT Jake provided in this post on my E6430 (low res) as well. Works fine.

Just tested it. It works on my E6430 1366 x 768. Thanks! Also, I would like to suggest an update to your El Capitan Clover guide for those who wish use to the Messages app in OS X. In step 10 of your post-installation section, I would add: -run "uuidgen" in terminal and paste the result into the SmUUID block in the SMBIOS page of Clover Configurator -on the same page, copy and paste the contents of the Serial Number block into the Board Serial Number block, adding 5 random HEX characters (digits) to the end -if Messages still doesn't work (for example, messages won't send because Messages claims your contacts aren't registered with iMessage), then perform the steps to reset the iMessage configuration files listed in this post.

Actually, my E6430 is the 1366 x 768 display. Can I use this DSDT for it as well? I noticed you don't have an E6430 1366 x 768 DSDT on your El Capitan guide.

Yep. That fixed it. Thanks very much Jake! Is this issue something specific to the E6230, or will I need a similar fix when I upgrade my E6430 to El Capitan?

Jake, It sounds like this is the same issue I posted in the pinned E6230 thread. Can you provide a little more detail on the fix? Do I need to manually patch the DSDT contained in E6230.zip in your guide? (Note - the strange thing is my E6230 will sleep properly on battery power - the instant wake is only when it's plugged in) Thanks-

check out this thread for help with the battery status

Did you ever get sleep or USB to work properly with the port replicator? I have the E6430 that I use with the port replicator under Chameleon. Everything works fine except for the audio jack on the port replicator (so I use the jack on the laptop itself). However, I want to use Clover so that I can use iMessage. But if I boot with Clover, the USB on the port replicator no longer works and the laptop will not sleep (wakes immediately). Are you using the GenericUSBXHCI kext?

In my initial attempts to fix the problem, I only flashed to older and older BIOS (16->12->11->07->03) but never back up like you did. So when I got to A03, I gave up, wiped the drive, and installed Ubuntu. That's the reason I needed to re-install Yosemite. In hindsight I was too pessimistic - I should have waited a bit longer for this community to come up with the solution!

OK, well I can't quite figure out how to do that in this forum, but maybe one of the Admins would be able to do it. Would help the next E6430 owner that stumbles across the thread as many of the units out there will likely have BIOS >A12.

I think the issue with A03 is it doesn't support UEFI boot in the same way as later bios, and my system was set up booting Clover UEFI. But I followed what you and leppy did and flashed back to A07 from A03 and then re-installed Yosemite (this time with Chameleon). And no more artifacts! Thanks leppy for your valuable suggestion. I'm going to mark this thread as solved.

When I got to A03 and failed to boot, I gave up and installed Ubuntu. So in the interest of science I will give this another try - upgrade from A03 to A07 and re-install. I'll let you know how it goes...

Unfortunately, I have tried A3, A7, A11, A12 and A16. The artifacts are present under OS X with all of them. I have also run Windows and Ubuntu on the laptop - no artifacts with those.

At first it didn't help, but then I noticed that I could boot with Chameleon and the battery status worked. I had installed ACPIBatteryManager.kext in both /E/E and /S/L/E, so I removed the copy in /S/L/E (was version 1.55) and left your version in CLOVER/kexts. That fixed the problem and I have my battery status working under Clover again Thanks for your help. There is conflicting guidance on various forums about what kexts should be installed into /S/L/E vs what should stay in the boot loader folders. I guess one just has to be patient and experiment with both options. But hopefully this helps others with the same issue I had.

What Clover config are you using? Take a look at this post for install, drivers, config.plist and kexts

Got it. Thanks. CloverConfig.zip

This is a bit embarrassing, but how exactly do I attach files in this forum? I can browse something called "My Media" which is empty, and also "manage" attachments from Profile->Settings, but do not see any way to upload files...

Hi Jake, I am using the DSDT, config.plist and kexts from this post. I believe the battery manager is v1.53. The only thing I have changed is to apply the patch from your post #5 above to the DSDT. I'll attach these files as soon as I get back home. Thanks-

That patch got rid of the battery with the "X"... however, the Energy Saver panel shows "Current battery charge 0%" and will not let me check "Show battery status in menu bar"

Like the title says, I have a 6430 1366x768 HD4000 (not Nvidia) running 10.10.5 and Clover r3193 on BIOS A12 with screen artifacts. They look just like the picture in this post. Unfortunately, that thread was "solved" with the original poster replacing the motherboard I have also tried BIOS A16 and A11. I believe I have the Clover setup configured correctly as I use the same setup (with appropriate DSDT/SSDT) on my 1366x768 E6230 HD4000 with BIOS A12 which works beautifully. Before I re-load windows and sell the thing, does anyone have any suggestions of what I might try?

I also have a 6230 and a 6430, and battery status does not work on either (was working on the 6230 until I updated to 10.10.5). Neither are dual boot, so I don't think that's the problem.

I have a 6430 i5 3340M with Intel HD4000 1366x768. BIOS A12, Yosemite 10.10.5 using the 10.10.5 kexts from Jake Lo's guide. I am using Clover, with the settings, kexts, and config.plist from this thread. Like those above, I can't seem to get rid of the display artifacts. I've even tried slide=0 boot arg - made no difference. Is there something other setting in the Clover config that I need to pay attention to? I have also noticed that the battery indicator does not work ("X" in battery) although kext wizard shows org.rehabman.driver.AppleSmartBatteryManager (1.5.3) is loaded. Is that symptomatic of something I'm missing?

Finally figured this out. What works is option 3 (slice's applePS2controller). After restart, you will have a functional trackpad settings pref pane. Here you will be able to turn down the cursor tracking speed (the default is insanely fast). To enable side scrolling, you need to select "use two fingers to scroll" under "Trackpad Gestures". Just make sure before you run the EDP, you replace the chameleon boot file that is in /Extra/storage with the one from v2170, or you will either fail to boot or KP on boot.

Well, that may be the issue. How do I un-install the voodoops2.prefpane that the edptool installs? I can't find it in either System/Library/PreferencePanes or /Library/PreferencePanes.
