How do i test with Windows? I mean how will i notice the difference when i connect a USB 2 device or a USB 3 device, thanks

You can use Device Manager to see how/where the device that you plugged in is connected.

Reverted to 10.12.3 installed intelbacklight, then in SSDT-HACK. dsl BKLT type i changed to 0 that's using Intelbacklight after that ./build.sh and everything is okay now

IntelBacklight.kext also works with Brightness by bergdesign in the scenario you mention on 10.12.4.
./build.sh does nothing regarding your EFI/Clover/ACPI/patched without ./install_acpi.sh (you didn't mention it).

 

[RehabMan]

what if I don't revert to 10.12.3? BTW Can you explain clearly? I don't understand BKLT meaning

The purpose of BKLT is documented very clearly in the comments within SSDT-HACK.dsl.

Would you be willing to modify install_acpi.sh to support some local customizations? I have been using the following change to insure my SSDT for NVMe gets included when I run install_acpi.sh.

I am sure there are other/better ways to do this, but this is how I have it working right now.

No.
You can simply name your SSDT-NVMe.aml to SSDT_NVMe.aml, and then it will be preserved.

Dual boot is covered in the main Clover laptop guide, post #2.

You probably don't have the correct configuration for IntelBacklight.kext.
Must not forget to set BKLT=1 in SSDT-HACK.
And if you have an issue, must include "Problem Reporting" files (why do I have to repeat that?)

You do not have to repeat that! You should look at my post regarding backlight issues. I included my Problem reporting files there. See https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...i-hotpatch-10-11.189416/page-583#post-1473394

My answer "no that is not an option as it stays dark" is related to the fact if I have installed backlight by bergdesign, this tool does not help at all. And BKLT is set to 1 in SSDT-HACK, as you can see in my posted troubleshooting files in the post mentioned above.

So your answer use AppleBacklightInject + backlight by bergdesign does not help at all.

Just to get it clear, my configuration is still the same as in post #5829 (see link above). Display is very dark and brightness by bergdesign cannot make it brighter, as it is already at the brightest setting. But if I remove AppleBacklightInject, the display is bright enough to work with it and I can dim it slightly (not much, but enough for me). So for me removing AppleBacklightInject fixes my brightness issues.

Hi Rehabman, after update to 10.12.4 and run beta installer I have brightness controls working but only at 50% or less of it's maximum capacity, the screen is darkness with brightness at maximum.

The tool backlight by bergdesign works well with Intelbacklight change SSDT-HACK .dsl BKLT 0.

Just open SSDT-HACK.dsl you will find it, guess it means backlight

I copy SSDT.aml from EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/Patched. When parsing SSDT-HACK.aml to SSDT-HACK.dsl, I got this warning:

Is that normal? And should I change BKLT like this:

When I try to save SSDT.dsl to SSDT.aml, I got this error:

How can I fix this? I upload my ACPI (origin and patched), please take a look.
Note: I use iasl compiler version 20161210-64(RM) and MaciASL version RM-1.31 (252.3)
