  1. Fn-DOWN/Fn-UP don't work, no. Use Fn-F3/Fn-Insert instead.
  2. Yup, normal; those key combinations are not supported under OS X/macOS. Use the Display PrefPane to control your displays or install Display Menu app (free off the AppStore). The app supports screen res change, display mirroring, etc.. You could find that Fn-F1 shuts down the computer or engages hibernation, rather than sleep.
  3. IntelGraphicsDVMTFixup.kext ? Not required afaik on this Latitude model...
  4. You can re-use mine since you too have a i5-4300M CPU...
  5. Which is why OP should boot Enoch with option & flag KernelBooter_kexts=Yes -f ...

Copies of the kernels are available here. 2) 10.12 installation Boot the 10.12 USB installer (it may take a little time to kick in) with -f -v boot flags If/when prompted for USB keyboard and/or mouse at installer startup, just press [SPACE] or [ENTER] key At macOS installer main screen, open up Disk Utility in Utilities menu If applicable, partition your target disk in GPT/GUID scheme Create your target 10.12 partition and format it as OS X Extended (Journaled) Close Disk Utility and proceed with macOS 10.12 installation as usual 3) Post-installation fine-tuning Reboot the 10.12 USB installer (it may take a little time to kick in) If/when prompted for USB keyboard and/or mouse at installer startup, just press [ENTER] or [SPACE] twice At macOS installer main screen, open up Terminal in Utilities menu Verify CoreStorage installation disk mode: diskutil list If CoreStorage activated for Fusion drive, revert to legacy mode: diskutil corestorage revert <device> (for example: /dev/disk1) Identify your freshly made 10.12 partition name df Copy the Extra folder from the USB installer to your identified 10.12 disk partition cp -R /Extra /Volumes/<your fresly made 10.12 partition name> (for example: cp -R /Extra /Volumes/OSX_disk) Reboot the 10.12 USB installer, press a key at delay bar (or [F8]) to interrupt boor process and select your freshly made 10.12 disk partition. You'll then be booting Sierra for the 1st time Complete the 1st boot installation finalisation Once at the 10.12 desktop, run the Enoch r2839 package from your USB installer to install Enoch on your HDD; it should be installed on the 1st partition of the disk Eject the 10.12 USB installer and put it aside Copy all kexts from /Extra/Extensions to /Library/Extensions (ignore and acknowledge the permissions-related error messages) Repair kexts permissions and rebuild cache (if you end up with "Error 77..." message, repeat the touch + kextcache commands) sudo chmod -Rf 755 /L*/E* sudo chown -Rf 0:0 /L*/E* sudo touch -f /L*/E* sudo kextcache -Boot -U / Edit /Extra/kernel.plist and set KernelBooter_kexts parameter to No <key>KernelBooter_kexts</key> <string>No</string> Disable hibernation (can be done later, but should be done): open up Terminal and type the following commands sudo pmset hibernatemode 0 sudo pmset hibernatefile /dev/null sudo rm -f /var/vm/sleepimage Sierra can subsequently be updated through AppStore updates or combo updates without further tuning action Please note that: Sierra requires a Penryn CPU with SSE4 instructions set (e.g. T6xxx, T8xxx, T9xxx with FSB 800MHz). Merom CPUs (e.g.: T5xxx, T7xxx) do not have such instructions set and do not allow Sierra installation. Sierra installation is not supported with MBP5,1 SMBIOS profile (although Sierra can subsequently run with that SMBIOS). Hence the switch to MBP7,1 profile. FakeSMC SMC keys + AGPM tuning revised accordingly (GPU (i.e. AGPM) performance tuning has been injected into FakeSMC kext and no longer requires additional action at this stage). the DSDT was modified to rename USB2.0 controllers to EH01/EH02; failing that, Sierra does not recognise any USB2.0 ports/devices. USB ports all functional thanks to D830-specific USB_injector kext (DSDT-described ports injected to MBP7,1 profile). VoodooHDA + AppleHDADisabler kexts have to be placed in /L/E in order to load (they don't load from /E/E). Injecting kexts from /E/E with boot option KernelBooter_kexts=Yes is slower than loading cached kexts placed in /S/L/E or /L/E. After any kexts modification, whether to /S/L/E or to /L/E, repair permissions and rebuild cache as detailed above.
  7.

  8. My E6440 has 2 x 4GB SODIMM. But if you want to verify that point, remove the 4GB module and make sure to keep the 8GB one in 1st slot/Slot A. You can use my E6440 Sierra bootpack and make the following adjustments: remove all SSDT-x files from /Extra (they're used to turn off the AMD dGPU). You can keep i5-4300M CPU PM table SSDT.aml (you have same CPU as mine). replace the DSDT file in /Extra by the new patched DSDT I posted above The rest remains unchanged.
  9. No, none of the SSDT tables need patching. This being said, you have to use a generated CPU power management SSDT for your i5 CPU using Pike R Alpha's famous generator script. This will go to /Extra folder under the name SSDT.aml. Since you have the same i5-4300M as my E6440, you can re-use the SSDT.aml table of my bootpacks.
  10. JakeLo beat me to it but here's your DSDT patched with: Minor syntax corrections (e.g.: renaming of "_T_x" to "T_x", renaming of "*pnpc13" to "PNPC13") EHCx USB2 controller devices renaming to EH0x (for USB2.0 ports) B0D3 device renaming to HDAU (for HDMI audio) GFX0 device renaming to IGPU (for integrated HD4600 GPU) _DSM method injection to IGPU device to fake desktop HD4600 id 0x0412 and inject Azul FB #12/layout id 0x0a260006 "Darwin" check injection to ensure XHC/USB3.0 controller native recognition IRQs 0,8,11 exclusion off HPET device to fix USB issues _DSM method injection to HDEF device to declare ALC292 audio codec There are probably a few more patches to inject to fix Sleep/Wake eventual issues, but you can already give that patched DSDT a try... DSDT.aml.zip When you 1st boot, use the following options and flags: KernelBooter_kexts=Yes -f -v CsrActiveConfig=3
  11. Well, it's only a plist patch, not a full blown kext per sé. So you won't see it as a loaded kext indeed.
  12. Sounds like you forgot to repair permissions before you rebuilt the cache. Look at the dedicated thread in the FAQ section.
  13. Try and extract your BIOS tables so that we review them. This can be done in Windows with tools such as Aida64 (can't remember the extact version but I think Engineering should do) or Clover by pressing F4 (if you have a Clover bootable USB key; tables will then go to EFI ACPI/origin folder).
  14. Use Clover Configurator app and read up the Clover wiki to learn on the tool, what it does and how it works. This glitch does not prevent booting the USB installer or the installed OS in any way. It's just that, a display glitch. If your system fails thereafter, you have an issue elsewhere, probably at graphics initialisation. Boot in verbose mode (-v flag) to see where the boot process hangs/fails. You can also follow my Enoch-based E6440 Sierra guide available in the Guides section.
  15. Good old "2nd stage/final stage boot glitch". Fixed either by installing/injecting IntelGraphicsFixup.kext + Lilu.kext or by applying the following Sierra on-the-fly patch in Clover: Find: 0100007525 Replace by: 010000EB25 Target: IOGraphicsFamily kext -
  16. The key difference between the E6220 and your E6420 is that the former is limited to LoRes 1366x768 LCD whereas your laptop has a HiRes 1600x900 LCD. As such, you absolutely need to set/activate/tick DualLink in your Clover config (or set this through DSDT) if you run on the HD3000 iGPU. Once you've done that, you'll find your screen will work fine.
  17. In your Clover config: APCI section/tab: there's a reference to load a SSDT-6 table that's nowhere to be found SMBIOS section/tab: you use MacBookPro8,2, I think you should use MacBookPro8,1 (you have a dual-core i5-2520M, not a quad-core 2nd gen i7) Your DSDT injects SNB layout id 00010000 and Dual Link, so you should be Ok once you correct the above. If you still have issues with graphics, you could try to switch to MacBookPro8,3 SMBIOS and SNB layout id 00020000.
  18. Look at the DSDT I posted in my E6230 guides. You'll see that there can be extra code to inject in addition to the PWR method.
  19. re: instant wake on sleep, it's probably due to missing power-related ACPI code under the USB controllers in your DSDT. Did you check that out?
  20. Guys, I just got in touch with Dinesh. He's busy on finalising the forum/server migration right now but he'll update us on this driver by the end of next week.
  21. Dell Latitude E6440 with Kingston SA400S37/240G A400 240GB 2.5" 7mm SSD (SATA-III connection @6Gb/s):
  22. I guess you need to inject the SNB platform id as suggested in my previous answer. But you can also try the following settings as mentioned here at IM: fake iGPU is 0x01168086 inject snb-platform-id 0x00010000 use SMBIOS iMac13,1 (you may also try iMac12,1 or iMac12,2)
