Then check that the patch you've used has remained aligned with the plist syntax of 10.13.4's CellPhoneHelper kext. It may have changed and that patch you used was made off an earlier version of High Sierra.

You'll need to remove the VoodooPS2Trackpad kext PlugIn from your ApplePS2Controller kext for the blue TrackPoint to work. You'll lose TouchPad functionalities such as 2-finger scrolling along the way. Failing that, try DrHurt's R4 PS2 controller. I can't remember if TrackPoint worked with it on the D630 (it has V2 ALPS TouchPad). VoodooPS2Controller-R4.kext.zip Re: USB ports, make sure you use MBP7,1 SMBIOS and this kind of USBInjector.

See post #4 here. Fn-F8 does not work under OS X/macOS; that's limited to Windows and possibly Linux.

Means you do not have graphics acceleration because your settings are incorrect.

No reason why you would, must be something else... Make sure you don't use any add-on Atheros kexts like you had initially in your kexts folder.

Cards based on Broadcom BCM4313 chip are unsupported so those go out of the way and other cards based on BCM431x chips were dropped from Sierra; so these are out of the way too. That leaves you with the Atheros cards but you're highly likely to encounter troubles with the AR5B225 because it's poorly supported and so, I don't recommend this at all. Out of the 4 x cards of your list, I could only advise to go for the AR5BHB92, which also happens to work OOB.

Nope, no such issue on mine. Make sure you have generated the proper CPU-related SSDT for power management.

Ha yes, you're right, ripple effect is there when you add an item to the dashboard. And I thought that had been dropped after Snow Leopard!

Did you disable hibernation ?

Ripple effect was last seen in Snow Leopard. You can check graphics acceleration through Finder's bar + Dock transparency and DVDPlayer Features to name a few.

Not seen this model here so you're the 1st. Please post your system's specs (CPU, GPU, audio, LAN, wireless, USB, etc.) as well as a zipped copy of your Clover config file. Haswell laptops need KernelPm patch enabled.

Head over to our R&D->Wifi subsection where you'll find a non-exhaustive list of supported cards. You could also use our brand new Search facility or consult the FAQ section...

Re: VoodooPS2Controller kext, head over to DrHurt's thread in R&D section and grab R6 compiled by Bronxtech. That'll sort you out.

you just need to update, that's all.

Sorted after restoring 10.13.4's vanilla AppleHDA kext, installing AppleALC kext and modding DSDT's HDEF device from layout 1 to layout 12.

No comparison to be made with the D630. That old model does not have Optimus/dual graphics (and Optimus is not supported under OS X/macOS) but either Intel GMA X3100 or Nvidia NVS 135m. The former GPU was last supported in Lion whereas the latter remains supported in High Sierra (because it is Tesla). On the other hand, the NVS 4200m is not supported in macOS versions (because it's Fermi GF119).

Also remember that, on these laptops, audio is dead if you reboot into OS X/macOS from Windows. You'll get audio after a cold reboot.

If you go the dummy ALC292 way, make sure you: patch AppleHDA for ALC292 (see my E6440 guide for details; you can either bin mod the kext or apply Clover on-the-fly patches)) inject layout 1 in your HDEF DSDT device (or through Clover) Alternatively, keep everything vanilla and install AppleALC kext and inject layout 12 (or 28 or 29). 12 worked on my E6440. https://github.com/vit9696/AppleALC https://github.com/vit9696/AppleALC/wiki/Supported-codecs

Great, thanks. Data rates look pretty good.

Graphics artifacts are pretty common with many Hackintoshes running with HD3000 graphics. Got the same with my E6220 from El Capitan/Sierra onwards. Was Ok up to Yosemite. Things improved greatly after I upgraded RAM to 8GB but I still get the occasional lines across the screen. It seems to get worse after multiple Sleep/Wake. The patch to increase VRAM does not really help much. Could be an EDID issue; never really got into it...

Good to know. Don't be hesitate to post the list of actions you took for the benefits of others.

Clearly, I was referring to iGPU id faking + Capri layout id, as suggested in a previous post above.

Do you really use a patched DSDT file called "System DSDT.aml" ? Or is that a mistake in your Clover config file? And why did you select to drop OEM DSM "IntelGFX"? If the absence of iGPU id faking and Capri layout-id did not get you graphics acceleration, maybe you ought to try with, don't you think?
