@lostnfound (1) Does your Acer Aspire 5 have just the Intel 620 gpu that's part of the motherboard, or does it have an Nvidia gpu? (2) What is the cpu model & which Intel family is it in? This is important because config.plist settings depend on it. (3) What's the WIFI card model? (And is the...

@richardchiu sorry to bother you again but is your touchpad working by interrupts mode or only by polling?

@richardchiu You may be able to control the built-in screen backlight using function keys by the following. (1) install AppleBacklightFixup.kext to /Library/Extensions https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/applebacklightfixup/src/master/ (2) compile SSDT-PNLFCFL.dsl to SSDT-PNLFCFL.aml and add...

Were you able to get touchpad interrupts mode to work with GPIO pinning? Or do you just use polling method?

Richard, what touchpad model do you have?

What terminal command(s) can be used to completely reformat a USB flash drive that was used to install macOS? I tried using, for example, diskutil eraseDisk ExFAT Blank disk2 for flash drive mounted as /dev/disk2, but this leaves the EFI. What do I need to get rid of the EFI?

Basic keyboard & mouse work fine, but trackpad is unresponsive and trackpad does not show up in System Preferences ("no trackpad found"). Trackpad seems to be an Elan1203 I2C HID device. I have installed VoodooI2C and VoodooI2CHID kexts to /Library/Extensions to try for polling mode, and I...

I have an Asus GL703GS laptop (it has a dedicated Nvidia 1070 with no integrated Intel gpu), installing to Samsung SSD. When the install reaches the "about 2 minutes remaining" point, it stalls/hangs/gets stuck. Keyboard and mouse become unresponsive. I can hear the fans blowing fairly loudly...

Which config settings will work for the initial install? RehabMan's Guide to Booting the OS X Installer on Laptops with Clover is written for laptops that have an Intel gpu, and it advises selecting one of the configs from his repository at https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Clover-Laptop-Config...

Oh, ok. Thanks for the info. The OP mentions "NO INTEL GRAPHICS. i can't even enable them even if i want to." I have a somewhat similar Asus laptop design that has a dedicated Nvidia gpu with G-Sync and no Optimus. As far as I have been able to tell from looking with Device Manager and HWInfo...

When you say install the nvidia web drivers, where did you get the web driver and what location do you install it to? Does it go into EFI/Clover/kexts/other? Is it just copy-and-paste?

Is that Clover's GUI? Where did you get those background images? They're great.

I didn't even notice. I was just using Tab-autocomplete. Thanks. That fixed several problems.

I am trying to install ACPIBatteryManagerKext.kext. It appears in /Libary/Extensions/ as "Contents". Last login: Wed May 16 13:43:18 on ttys000 wartys-MacBook-Pro:~ Home$ sudo cp -R /Users/Home/Desktop/HighSierraHelperFiles/ACPIBatteryManager.kext/ /Library/Extensions/ Password...

Two questions on installing kexts: (1) For 10.11+, kexts can be installed by just issuing these two commands back-to-back? sudo cp -R /path/to/kextToInstall.kext /Library/Extensions/ sudo kextcache -i / (2) Are there some kexts that when installed to /Library/Extensions/ show up in the list...
