Hello All,

Thanks to your help able to boot El Capitan on a Thinkpad P50. I have followed the advice of folks and am still having issues with the following things:

- Battery: installed the battery monitor kext and a battery icon is now on the menu, but it has an x inside of it
- Graphics: the bottom part of my 15 inch screen remains blank/cut off. it display flickers quite a bit when i login, and the 'about my mac' says there's only 31MB of VRAM available. i have installed the fakePCIID and intel graphics KEXTs, as well as stuck in the fakeID, and still have no luck fixing this. I am also unable to connect any external displays via HDMI or mini-displayport
- All USB ports seem to work fine
- Purchased a wifi G/N thumb drive which works perfectly

Clover attached. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Intel P530 requires FakeID. set config.plist/Devices/FakeID/IntelGFX=0x191e8086.

For battery status, see guide: http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-how-to-patch-dsdt-for-working-battery-status.116102/
 
Should i also keep "inject intel" and "0x19160000" as the ig-platform-id? so far, it makes no difference

config.plist/Devices/FakeID/IntelGFX has no effect without config.plist/Graphics/Inject/Intel=true.

Although there is a default ig-platform-id for Skylake, you will usually want to select a different one appropriate for laptops.
 
so should i set the default ig-platform equal to the same value as the fakeID, or do i need to find another platform ID?

ig-platform-id is a different setting from FakeID.

Use the ig-platform-id that works.
 
0x191e0000 – Skylake ULX GT2
0x19160000 – Skylake ULT GT2
0x19260000 – Skylake ULT GT3
0x191b0000 – Skylake HALO GT2
0x19120000 – Skylake Desktop GT2
0x19160002 – Skylake ULT GT2
0x19260002 – Skylake ULT GT3
0x191e0003 – Skylake ULX GT2

Tried all of these, and still doesn't solve the issue. going to keep looking for more to try
 
before i spend all the time trying to test these, does anyone have an idea of which will definitely not work?
