Lilu kext should be at the top of your list in your config.plist

AppleALCU
SMCDellSensors
is not needed

try setting both of these to -1 for testing:
Code:
<key>MinDate</key>
            <integer>20200306</integer>
            <key>MinVersion</key>
            <integer>1412101001000000</integer>
reset nvram when you make any changes to your EFI

Im getting the same “unsupported screen” after changing these settings.

Ivy Bridge on the guide showed it didn’t have Nvram or at least had a N/A.
