Ah you know what, I think it is dead. I don't know why checking bluetooth didn't occur to me but I just checked and that does work... So yeah it is probably dead. Fun... Thanks for the tip though!

Hello.
I've got a problem and maybe have a solution for it (at least maybe someone can figure it out).
I have plugged my XPS to external monitor via hdmi. My laptop monitor is 1920x1080x60hz just like my hdmi monitor. There is no problems until i've start two virtual machines. Memory pressure rise up (not that much actually, but swap started to rise) and macOS kick me out of session and i need to log in again. After that i check crash logs and find out that WindowServer is crashed.
I've googled it and found this issue on github. Yes i've had that "enable-hdmi20" enabled as it is in latest EFI folder from here (v 1.1). Looks like it has been deprecated for "max-pixel-clock" feature. I will try to disable "enable-hdmi20" and write here if i had a crash again.
I hope i help someone figure it out.
 
Can FakePCIID.kext be removed from the kexts folder, if I only want to use Mac OS monterey?

And thx for bringing @blazinsmokey build back to life :) I will try it, on Tuesday.

I have upgraded from BigSur to Monterey on my Dell XPS 9560 with almost the same profile above.
I have Intel HD 630 GPU.
Everything works but graphic card is not working. I could not find a proper solution on internet. Since this is the specific guide for a Dell Laptop, someone or the owner of this post can help me to resolve the issue.

As per rules, please update your hardware profile to allow others to help you easier

please read the faq for proper hardware profile setup:
 
For those who update their OpenCore regularly, you are free and clear to upgrade to OC 0.7.8 and to update your kexts. I will likely handle releases as major fixes are released - updating and maintaining your own EFI is a good skill to have. I expect to update the EFI release when 12.3 is made public with Universal Control.
 
Release Mar 16, 2022 XPS 9560 v1.2 - OC 0.7.9
  • Update Kexts to Latest
    • Note addition of Realtek Card Reader Kexts (Disabled by Default)
      • Allows use of internal card reader, but caused KPs in my testing. Enable at your own risk.
    • Support Universal Control in macOS 12.3
I have yet to test Universal Control, as this is my only device currently on macOS 12.3. Please test and report back.
As always, 1080p users please test and report back.

Hey, tks u for manual but i have a problem with opencore, when i select boot with opencore, i leave my laptop overnight then when i put power button in the next day, this cant power on. No light, no boot,... i have to disconnect battery and connect again to boot. But when i choose boot to window manager, that problem doesn't happen. Somebody can help me. Tks.
 
I also use my laptop daily so I needed to get both of my HDMI output and USB-C to Displayport working. I needed to update a few boot parameters. Also, I noticed that my WIFI wasn't full speed. I have a DW 1830 and needed to add a flag for increasing speeds.

The only apparent problem I have at the moment is my HDMI out is limited to 3840x2160 @30hz. I'd like this to be @60hz but not sure how to get it there yet. I'm not 100% sure if the Whatever flags are needed for 4k but it helped me and I needed my machine up and running as soon as possible with both screens.

I thought this may help others.

Markdown (GitHub flavored):
# Added to boot-args
`-cdfon -igfxmpc -igfxhdmidivs brcmfx-country=#a`

## Explaination
```
# Whatevergreen flags
-cdfon (and enable-hdmi20 property) to enable HDMI 2.0 patches
-igfxmpc boot argument (enable-max-pixel-clock-override and max-pixel-clock-frequency properties) to increase max pixel clock (as an alternative to patching CoreDisplay.framework).
-igfxhdmidivs boot argument (and enable-hdmi-dividers-fix property) to fix the infinite loop on establishing Intel HDMI connections with a higher pixel clock rate on SKL, KBL and CFL platforms.
```

# Enables 867Mbps speeds
`brcmfx-country=#a`
 
@InsaneCultist after the update my keyboard shortcuts are only working with the right CMD Key.
Any idea what the problem could be?
