    [solved] Alienware 15 R2 install EI capitan&install Mac Sierra Success

    I use HWMonitor to check and the CPU package multiplier changes from 8 to 39 so I think power management works for the CPU. Sleep/Wake also work. In /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched I put SSDT-CPU.aml. I generated it using Piker Alpha script for ssdt-PrGen.sh for my CPU and then I deleted...

    I think you should place FakeSMC.kext in the kexts/Other folder in Clover.

    New clover needs bundle-id in the kexts to patch section. You need to look up the name in the info.plist. Usually something like com.apple.whatever.

    Alienware 15 Radeon Graphics

    Yes, and I don't think it's switchable. This post reports success with the NVIDIA version of the laptop using the HDMI output. The problem is that I don't really know where to look for answers. Thanks.
