Clearly, the mouse PrefPane is not going to be of any help for your TouchPad. The kexts I refered you to normally enables the TrackPad PrefPane, provided it's been installed properly. You may have done somethign wrong in that respect.
-
Erm... you did open the TrackPad PrefPane and enable "Tap to Click", right? Because that's not enabled by default ...
-
So it's the port replicator E-Port K07A001 (USB2.0 ports) or E-Port II K07A002 (USB3.0 ports), check the product label underneath. Anyway, with those docks, VGA output is a matter for graphics framebuffer/drivers only. There's nothing you can do about it since VGA has no official support on platforms starting at Ivy Bridge. There's no patch you could apply unlike DVI/DP/HDMI. In all likelyhood, for dual display with a VGA screen, you'd need a DVI-to-VGA adapter + DP or DP-to-VGA adapter + DVI.
-
If you have a V3 to V5 TouchPad, clearly go for the latest R6 (compiled by Bronxteck) available on p1. V7 and V8 TouchPads are not properly supported.

VGA is not supported under macOS, so it's highly unlikely you can get it to work as an individual display. It will either work OOB or not at all but there's nothing you can do to make it work if it does not do so properly. I don't know which Dock model you're referring to but it may well be that, like the Type-C current models, VGA only works as a clone to DP/DVI/HDMI in multiple screen arrangement. https://osxlatitude.com/forums/topic/11410-dell-latitude-7490-with-i7-8650u-intel-uhd-620-and-1920x1080-lcd-mojave/?do=findComment&comment=90288

They're in the Clover pack available in my 7490 guide. What are the PCI ids of the TouchPad/TrackPoint models fitted to your 7480? On the 7490: TouchPad = 1028:081c (Dell-renamed Alps) TrackPoint = 044e:1212 (Alps)
-
I'm pretty sure @philstopford means the actual TrackPad/TouchPad device. Unless I'm mistaken, the 7480 uses a similar Alps I2C device as the 7490 and, indeed, it occasionally fails to respond to finger. Rebooting (once or multiple times) will eventually bring it back to life. This issue is undoubtedly due to those I2C drivers we use; they're not 100% kosher yet, it's work in progress. On the 7490, the device is fully functionnal as a Mac TrackPad/TouchPad and shows as such in the PrefPane. It can just be a little awkward to use. I see no reason why it would be different on the 7480, they're basically the same laptops apart from CPU generation.

So, no-one using this High Sierra/Mojave guide?

It's been mentioned in various places on the forum and I should probably write an FAQ thread on the topic. /S/L/E is the location for Apple's own (i.e. vanilla) kexts. Ideally, this should be left untouched by Hackintoshers unless for very specific and rare reasons (eg: patched AppleHDA). /L/E is the location for 3rd party/add-on kexts. This is where all kexts we use for our Hackintoshes should go. Kexts placed in either of these folders will be cached and this aims at accelerating boot time. Cached kexts are subject to signature and be set to the correct permissions. Cached kexts will be listed/registered in SysProfiler/SysInfo->Software->Extensions. Caching kexts is the recommended manner to use add-on kexts. Clover's E/C/k/O and E/C/k/10.xx are the locations for kexts that Clover injects at boot time: E/C/k/O is used to inject kexts regardless of the OS X/macOS version. E/C/k/10.xx are used to inject kexts for the given OS X/macOS version and therefore allow different kexts to be injected for different versions. Injected kexts are not cached and will not be listed/registered in SysProfiler/SysInfo->Software->Extensions. Injecting kexts results in a slower boot time than with cached kexts (though many would arguably say it's hardly noticeable). Kexts injection operates according to Clover settings on the matter: If kext injection is set to Yes, kexts placed in E/C/K/O (or E/C/k/10.xx) will be injected. If kext injection is set to No, no injection takes place obviously... If kext injection is set to Detect, kext injection operates according to the presence of FakeSMC in the cache (from /L/E or /S/L/E). If present, no injection takes place, if absent, kext injection is performed. Kext injection is very useful for recovery purposes (like booting without cache which ignores /L/E) or when testing kexts for instance; if a newly injected kexts causes issues (like a KP), it's very easy to remove/bypass it. On the other hand, kext injection is known to occasionally cause problem because it's not the natural way in which kexts should be loaded. Kext injection is basically a form of forced loading and, sometimes (though rare these days), it does not work. My own recommendation is to experiment with kexts through injection and, once kexts are validated, to cache them from /L/E. You can Google for this kext injection matter or consult the Clover wiki/InsanelyMac forum. It's all quite widely documented.

E6500 High Sierra 10.13.6 - Some advice please
Hervé replied to Sergiu Partenie's topic in The Archive
DW1397 card is not compatible with High Sierra. Disable it in BIOS or physically remove it in case it causes an issue (though it should not). You also need to use a SMBIOS compatible withy High Sierra. MacBookPro7,1 will do perfectly. Can you post a zipped copy of your Clover EFI folder or link to the folder you used (assuming you've not modified it in any way)? Please note that you cannot install High Sierra with Enoch; you need Clover for that. As such, my D630 Sierra guide is not appropriate for High Sierra (I really need to update that guide...). Once HiSie is installed, you can use Enoch to boot it but you'll then need to call on your Clover-based USB installed to complete any subsequent update (like the Security ones). So opt directly for Clover.- 10 replies

[SOLVED] M6800: Problems with Nvidia Quadro K2200M
Hervé replied to Narayan777's topic in The Archive
Moved from Guides section to Support! Please ensure you use the correct section for all future posting. K3100M is Kepler and is therefore expected to work OOB. K2200M is Maxwell and requires the nVidia Web Driver. It's therefore only supported up to High Sierra. You also have to take the potential issue of Optimus into account (unsupported on Hackintoshes). -
It'll be the same EFI folder as for Sierra or High Sierra. You can derive it from the initial Chameleon/Enoch bootpacks available here. Due to unsupported C2D CPU + nVidia GPU, the D630 (like the D830) requires the well-known tricks for Mojave: replacement of telemetry plugin by that of High Sierra 10.13.6 to avoid non-SSE4.2 C2D-related KP (extract it from 10.13.6 combo update available off Apple's web site) installation of Tesla kexts from High Sierra 10.13.6 (they do not exist in Mojave due to lack of compatibility with Metal). I recommend you install those in /L/E patched PlatformSupport.plist or, ideally, change of SMBIOS to a Mojave-compatible model like, say MBP9,x (this is required for Mojave updates) And, since Mojave 10.14.4, you also need: replacement of GPUSupport + OpenGL frameworks by those from Mojave 10.14.3 (extract them from 10.14.3 combo update) You can refer to these threads/guides: https://osxlatitude.com/forums/topic/10726-macos-1014-mojave-betas-releases/?do=findComment&comment=83099 https://osxlatitude.com/forums/topic/11148-dell-vostro-200-st-with-c2d-e8600-geforce-gt730-gt1030-high-sierra-mojave/?do=findComment&comment=87085

If Tap-to-Click and 2-finger tap don't work, then your best option is an external (cordless) mouse.
-
well, we require much further reading...
-
Config is completely inappropriate for your platform. Where did you get this from ???
-
By now, you should know the drill: post a zipped copy of your EFI Folder. Screenshots of backup EFI folders are useless.
-
Do not install kexts to /S/L/E, it's supposed to stay vanilla. Use /L/E instead. Kext Wizard is an old tool that's probably unsuitable to macOS versions. Once you've installed your kexts to /L/E, manually repair permissions and cache using the well-known process we documented in FAQ section several years ago.

Help installing mojave on Acer Predator helios 300 pleaseeee
Hervé replied to toussaintjames's topic in The Archive
Post-Kepler cards remain unsupported; those attempts to get Web Drivers working under Mojave do not provide any graphics acceleration and are just a waste of time. You just get cards more or less properly reported in the OS and that's about it.- 30 replies

If you want USB3.0 ports, you need to make sure your DSDT injects Darwin; no USB3.0 otherwise. Then you'll need to cache or inject FakePCIID + FakePCIID_XHCIMux kexts.
-
The seller was wrong to advertise it as a Broadcom BCM4352, I guess he did not know any better. Those cards are definitely BCM4350 chipset despite the BCM94356xxxx label at the back of them (that's illustrated in my guide). OUI 30:52:CB belongs to Lite-On just like other OUIs such as C8:FF:28 or 74:DF:BF. Nothing wrong with your MAC address.

Very strange because you clearly have the DW1820A 0VW3T3 model which works fine for most people... Yet, the behaviour you describe is that encountered with the 08PKF4 model or the Foxconn T77H649 model. I'm at a loss... You've cleaned up the kexts duplication but kept FakeSMC only in E/C/k/O, so you're still injecting kexts. Copy the following kexts to /L/E, repair permissions and rebuild your cache: AppleBacklightFixup.kext ApplePS2Controller.kext FakeSMC.kext IntelGraphicsFixup.kext (is it really needed?) IntelMausiEthernet.kext NoTouchID.kext USBPorts-E7470.kext WhateverGreen.kext Remove the following kexts from E/C/k/O: SMCBatteryManager FakePCIID You may also try the following Clover config where I've made a few adjustments to the ACPI section and, as a test, changed SMBIOS to MBP15,2 which is what I'm using without issues with the DW18120A 0VW3T3. config.plist.zip Nothing else to offer, sorry.
-
There you are: Archive.zip Rest assured those kexts are part of the vanilla installation, no doubts to be had on that front. For future reference, with Pacifist app you can extract kexts from any given combo update (like 10.14.4) available off Apple's web site. Simply Google for it.
-
You may also try the DSDT patch that re-assigns keys properly on the E6230. It may apply to the E6530 too.
