ok while I did get pretty far with creating my own EFI following the opencore guide, I decided to just scrap it all and go with @blazinsmokey EFI...and HOLY CRAP it's Perfect!!! Before i wasn't able to boot with it but figured out it was the CFG_LOCK not being unlocked.
Finally got keyboard...
heres my newest efi.
having this one issue with sleep though. it seems if my laptop is not plugged and i wake it by opening the lid, the display goes on fine and it wakes but occasionally the password field in the login "fills up" as if a key is being held down. the only way i've been able to...
arghh. ok it was my BIOS setting! some how wireless lan switch settings was turned on which I DID NOT DO. could disabling cfg_unlock somehow tweak bios settings? sorry for the trouble. but wifi is back :banghead::thumbup:
ok. how about a CPUFriendDataProvider.kext? i chose the 800 ghz Low frequency mode. soon after i lost wifi connectivity. I since undid all of it but still no wifi. my windows wifi works now however with the stock intel wifi card. but my DW1560 is still a no go. thanks!
So I had my XPS working GREAT following this guide! everything was working except keyboard brightness keys to change display brightness (keyboard brightness was working) no biggie.
HOWEVER while opening APP store i lost wifi connection!! and can't get it back. I also lost wifi connectivity on...
thanks. I have SSDT-PNLF already. keyboard brightness key works, just not able to adjust screen brightness with keys f11 and f12. is this feature working for you? attaching efi if anyone cares to look.
nice. i have the same machine and got mostly everything working with Big Sur..still testing things out. So was wondering how you got brightness keys to work? I grabbed your brightnesskeys.kext and added it to my EFI, but still no good for me. I do have the brightness slider in my display...
OK. Got it working now. So the problem was because I didn't have trackpad settings i wasn't able to launch anything by just tapping lightly on trackpad. I had to cntl click on an icon and select open which made me think there was some thing wrong with FINDER.
So after updating BIOS and getting...
hmm. says no trackpad found. guess its not loading voodooI2c Kexts. no audio either.
wifi is working though. Does it matter that I have it as a part of a dual boot setup (windows)? also noticed theres a BIOS update available for this laptop.
thanks for this. that helped!! i didn't get the error of not being able to complete installation. however the install seems incomplete still as FINDER is still not working properly. opening folders just shows icon preview and dock genie effect not working for example. anything else come to mind?
any suggestions on this issue. also including my DSDT if that helps. thanks again sorry for the bump but its driving me crazy as i've tried so many things.
So been trying to install catalina on my dell xps. I'm able to boot into the osx installer using opencore 6.3. After running the installation however i get a message "the mac os could not complete the installation". Strange thing is I am able to boot into the new install of catalina but very...
yup. i can confirm. having the same issue with cc 2018. move tool, lasso, and others would make it crash. so just reverted to cc 2017. which seems way more stable. i know not much of a fix but at least i can work now.
hi guys, can't seem to get voodooi2c working at all. I think i patched dsdt correctly but it seems not to load properly despite showing up in log output. trackpad works though with sys>pref panels. but 3 finger swipe for full screen apps only gets me alert sounds. please help and thanks!!!
i'm...
Hi,
I can't seem to clear this (see pic) error with the suggested syntax patches. I've tried applying suggested patches one by one first and the trying the fix PARSEOP patches but it doesn't seem to work.
i'd like to patch this DSDT to get voodooI2C working. One way i've been able to clear...
