Hey everyone,
I have purchased a new laptop that is more modern than the Elitebook 8770w I was using prior. I now have an Acer Nitro 5 Gaming laptop that I plan on dual booting Windows 10 and macOS 10.14. As the title shows, I almost have everything working on this system. Let me attach my hardware specs and what is/isn't working :
Intel Core i5-7300HQ (2.5Ghz-3.5Ghz)
Intel HM175 Chipset
Intel HD 630 Graphics and nVidia Geforce GTX 1050 Ti w/ 4GB GDDR5 VRAM
A-Data 8GB DDR4 2133Mhz RAM
Intel 256GB NVMe 600P PCI-E SSD (Windows)
Seagate 480GB SATA III SSD (macOS)
Windows Trackpad using I2C Bus (Synaptics Based Pad)
Broadcom BCM943602BAED Wireless AC + BT 4.1 NGFF Card (Dell DW1830) (On order, using older BCM94360CS2)
Realtek 8111 Based Ethernet
Realtek High Definition Audio (ALC256 Codec)
Clover UEFI r4674 running macOS Mojave 10.14
Power Management: Working. Don't hear fans speeding up. Followed PM guide.
Sleep: Working. Used the _PRW DSDT patch 0x6D for Skylake.
Video: Working. Used latest Lilu/IntelGFXfixup and Prealloc Fixup. Full QE/CI/Res. Disabled nVidia Graphics w/ DSDT edit.
Audio: Working. Used layout-id 13 in conjunction with AppleALC kext's 1.2.8 version + CodecCommander.
NVMe: Working. Intel Drive is recognized by the system and can read/write to it but I'm using that drive for Windows.
KB/TP: KB is working w/ VoodooPS2 V2018-0922. TP is working with VoodooI2C V2.1.4 and disabling of Apple's I2C drivers.
WiFi: Working. Used AirportBRCMFixup.kext to resolve speed issues. Airdrop supported
Bluetooth: Working. Used BRCMPatchRAM2.kext and BRCMFirmwareRepo.kext to enable BT. Handoff/SMHS supported.
Ethernet: Working. Using the Realtek Ethernet kext.
Battery: Working. Used Rehabman's ACPIBatteryManager.kext
Brightness: Working. Used the Brightness patch from the AppleBacklightInjector.kext
Shutdown/Restart: Working.
USB: Working. Created an SSDT for USBInjectAll and ensured only ports installed are active.
