Sometimes when running for a long time plugged in, it decides it is not plugged in. Unplugging the power and plugging it back in corrects it but rebooting does not. It does not immediatedly happen just as the battery icon reaches 100% but can go hours plugged in so I'm not sure "Logic bug with...

I just upgraded from High Sierra to Mojave. (I had been using layout-id 3 with a Mirone AppleHDA-patched AppleHDA.kext and injecting the layout-id=3 in SSDT-HDEF.aml.) Before upgrading, I saved the patched AppleHDA.kext and made no changes to SSDT-HDEF.aml. After upgrading, I backed up the...

I have a number of laptops with wonky power buttons: you have to push them several times before anything happens, whether starting the system or waking it from sleep. For some strange reason, Linux sometimes needs a power button press to wake and other times just pressing a key will cause wake...

The screensaver "Word Of The Day" works fine on the built-in laptop display. It runs slow and messes up the screen if I use my external HDMI monitor. Unplugging it does not help: the laptop screen remains black and flashes once in a while but there is no way to get back to the desktop. I'm...

I'm using the rehabman config_HD520_530_540.plist and the only thing I have changed is setting the ig-platform-id to 0x191E0000 and adding PNLF for IntelBacklight.kext + BergDesign Brightness.app. Lilu and IntelGraphicsFixup are in /S/L/E and QE/CI seems to be working fine (Desktop eye-candy...

Maybe it should be in the probook/elitebook guide somewhere that it is impossible to shutdown this system without disabling Wake On LAN in the BIOS? Took me a while to find this info in the forums and it might apply to other hp laptops. I just replaced the intel wifi with a $5 broadcom 34xx...

I updated to 10.11 from the last version of Yosemite and everything seems fine except for this minor problem. I tried putting this from rehabman's hd4600 config.plist in my clover config.plist under KextsToPatch but it did not help: <dict> <key>Comment</key>...

I've always used VoodooPS2 because the keyboard/trackpad on my laptop do not work at all without it. I followed the simple instructions at the git repo to install it. After the startup screen, once the desktop appears, the mouse cursor freezes for around 10 seconds and then everything works...

I have the latest version of iPhoto and it only shows the full picture when I click directly on the thumbnail. If I try to navigate with the arrow keys, only big black squares appear. I tried repairing permissions and rebuilding the iPhoto library but it does not help. iPhoto worked fine in...

I recently upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite and the installer created a Recovery Partition, which I didn't want, and did something wacky to the partition table. I dual boot Linux on a separate disk and USED to be able to access my OS X Home directory from Linux. Now Linux will not mount...

I know this question isn't Hackintosh-specific, but the quality of the responses here is vastly better than most Apple support sites. .DS_STORE and various bits of spotlight crap make annoying clutter on devices like Kindle and Nook and even corrupt the filesystem on the DSO Quad, a...

Is there a way to get Yosemite Spotlight to NOT SEARCH THE INTERNET and to just search my ENTIRE HARD DRIVE, including various messy Developer, System, and Macports (/opt/) directories? For example, if I want to find some dumb header file that is causing Macports (or Fink or Homebew) to fail to...

I have a second hard drive in place of the optical drive I never use. I mostly only use it for backups and Linux experimentation. It is usually not spinning when I am in Yosemite. I have checked the "put hard disks to sleep" in Energy Saver pref pane. (pmset says it waits 10 minutes before...

I have a mobile Intel HD4600 in what appears to be a Clevo W670SQZ laptop. I say "appears," because the people at System76 claim Clevo only made the case. Funnily, in the BIOS screens, it nevertheless says "clevo W670SZ 1.03.05," just like an unofficial BIOS version I see online. Anyway, they...

Sleep works from the Apple Menu. There's no more "Computer sleep" slider in the Energy Saver pref pane. I'm not sure this is Yosemite-specific, as I have read elsewhere online that this has happened on earlier real macs. The only helpful suggestion I saw was: Go to Terminal and type: man pmset

I have upgraded to 10.10 and I'm BIOS booting Clover and I still have to login/logout/login to get rid of the menubar corruption problem. (Still no reply from System76 about getting the original BIOS: I think they removed UEFI from the BOOT menu.) VoodooHDA, VoodooPS2, Brightness, Sleep, TRIM...

My laptop does not support UEFI booting so I followed the Clover guide to boot legacy BIOS. First, I got my USB stick with the Yosemite installer booting fine. Then I installed Yosemite over a Mavericks 10.9.5 install which had been booting Chimera in the EFI partition. (I'd had some...

I have exactly this issue with the battery status indicator from post #1 of this thread http://www.tonymacx86.com/mavericks-laptop-support/123611-mac-os-x-compatibility-clevo-w670szq-system76-kudu-professional.html My battery is new and lasts a good few hours running Ubuntu, so a faulty battery...

These are the brightness keys I use in Linux and I want to make them the same for OS X. Currently Fn+PgUp increases brightness and Fn+Ins decreases in OS X I tried the Rehabman ACPIDebug Kext + DSDT patch, but nothing appears in the log console when I press Fn+F8 or Fn+F9. So then I tried...

I've got a new System 76 "Kudu Professional" laptop and I have a slightly messed up menu bar. I installed the 10.9.4 multi beast. Hadn't noticed there was a newer one. I have not patched ssdt or dsdt for anything yet. But I have installed rehab man's voodooHDA, backlight, and battery kexts...
