I am now able to figure out that SSP1 port is the USB 3.0 port. It only gives feedback when I insert and eject a usb 3.0 drive, there is no feedback if I insert a USB 2.0 drive. I don't see any device like bluetooth, camera etc. connected to any of the other ports

USB2 devices will connect to HSxx ports.

"Problem Reporting" files are incomplete.
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.

Use the gen_debug.sh tool mentioned in the FAQ, that way it is less likely you'll omit something.

2) Although trackpad works I am not able to get it to work like it works on apple. I can get two fingers scrolls and even three finger swipes to move desktops(I did that by setting up a keyboard short cut command + '[' and command + ']', but four finger swipes don't work, I can't go to the previous page in safari using two finger swipe. Or, is this the best I can get a hackintosh touchpad to work? Also, I occasionally see mouse jumps and safari zooms text while surfing

Is there any way to make trackpad behave exactly the same as on Macbook ?

Native gestures will be available in a future release of VoodooI2C (If you have multitouch support with the current version, which I think you do, anyway).
 
Decided to take a look at Sierra, i had no luck with intelBacklight.kext for brightness, I decided to remove it from L/E and repair cache, and implement the suggested
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...rol-using-applebacklightinjector-kext.218222/
until reboot procedure.

just don't forget to add SSDT-PNLF.aml to your SortedOrder
got the slider working, and now I use the brightness from bergdesign (page 3), fn b (increase) and fn s (decrease) brightness

update 19 July
(addition to brightness) to save previous state of brightness i applied AptioMemoryFix-64.efi (to replace EmuVariableUefi-64.efi) and delete nvram.plist on EFI mount. This EmuVariableUefi-64 doesn't seem to work with xps 13 9343.

updated to latest High Sierra without APFS conversion, the provided SLE Kexts (which I installed manually with terminal to L/E) except IOHIDfamily work (it causes External Mouse to stopped working and during kextcache build, it results many errors).
Forget to mention: I check every kexts update, replace all of the Kexts in clover and L/E with the new one. google for the files

I may upload my Clover and the installed kexts in L/E in the future after some other implementations are achieved

I have just updated from sierra 10.12.6 to high sierra 10.13.6. I know my all files are converted to apfs format and I need apfs.efi or apsfdriverloader.efi in EFI clover driversUEFI64 folder to load partition. I have dual boot Windows 10 as well. Once I place either of those files to that folder, clover won't boot as all. Without those files I can only see Windows partition. So now I am stuck half way. Is there a conflict? What could be wrong? I've tried to load Clover on USB stick and it is same behavior no mac partition visible.

How did you updated to the 10.13.6 without APFS conversion? I've read that in the latest update HPS+ files are converted to APFS. Its the Apple way to force to use their newest file system.
