Well, I just tried out an Apple Magic Mouse 2, and it works perfect with my hackintosh. It must be that the Magic Mouse 1 doesn't do so well with this build using the Broadcom wif/BT card. Now, if I can only get sleep to work...

This is a persistent problem for me, and there seems to be no solution. If I leave my case cover off, my BT works fine. But, as soon as I put it back on, BT becomes flaky, and my Magic Mouse is useless. Really frustrating.

Yes, I did that with the attached screenshots in the first post. The hackintosh screen shot looks the same on my 2017 MacBook Pro with Mojave and Retina display as it does on the hackintosh with Mojave and Philips display. Thanks for any suggested resolution (pun not intended).

I was hoping someone might have suggested solutions. As it is, Mojave is unusable on my hackintosh.

I'm having trouble with fonts in Mojave using UHD630 graphics (ASRock Z370M-ITX/ac motherboard with Coffee Lake i7 8700 and 16 GB RAM) and a Philips 27" display (i.e., non-retina). As you can see in the attachment, the Mojave fonts have aliasing issues (top panel) whereas under High Sierra they...

Attached are screen shots comparing my hackintosh with Philips display and my MacBook Pro with its Retina display. Clearly some aliasing issues with the fonts on the hackintosh with a non-Retina display.

Thanks much. Yes, I have font smoothing enabled. I tried with and without and neither does the job. I have a Philips 27" display.

How do your fonts look?

I've tried both of these and they are not working. Coffee Lake i7 UHD630 with 16 GB RAM. Is there a solution to fixing font rendering for non-Retina displays?

OK, back to Mojave but now I have the font pixelation issue. I have tried changing smoothing in System Preferences > General and these two commands, but neither solves the problem. defaults write -g CGFontRenderingFontSmoothingDisabled -bool NO defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain...

AND you have to increase the port limit. The Broadcom WiFi/BT needs USB for the bluetooth module.

Ugh. This is terrible. I did a clean install, got BT and WiFi working, then did Migration Assistant to move my applications over to the new Mojave SSD. Now, when I reboot, the progress bar gets about halfway then the screen goes black and appears to be off. Same in safe mode, too. Verbose goes...

It's on the SATA bus. I think I discovered the problem - it was MBR instead of GUID partition table. Rebuilding the installer now.

No idea WTH is going on now. I made a Mojave installer USB stick (8 GB) and I get "Error Loading Operating System" in post. Nothing is plugged in except the USB stick and the new 1 TB SSD.

Great, thank you very much! I will give this a try later this week.
