    Big Sur Enable FirePro W5130M Tropo (682b) GPU

    Thanks for the reply! To be honest, I do use this boot arg on my other machine to disable Nvidia graphics. The bios in this laptop doesn't allow me to disable iGPU or set GPU priority. No MUX switch either. I tried -wegnoigpu to only use the dGPU graphics since I know this card is supported...

    Big Sur Enable FirePro W5130M Tropo (682b) GPU

    I'm setting up a second Hackintosh (different from my account settings). This is a Dell Precision 3510 / 6820HQ / HD530 / AMD FirePro W5130M. I feel like I'm missing something incredibly minor. I've installed Big Sur 11.4 and I'm almost 100% running! I have activity and acceleration already on...

    Alienware m15 R3 2020 | macOS Catalina Keyboard Troubles

    We can wrap this up as Solved! @jamesst20 provided an RHUB aml that I was able to drop into my ACPI folder, OC snapshot, and reboot with a working keyboard. He also has the m17 R4 tutorial here if anyone else comes across this issue with these laptops...

    Alienware m15 R3 2020 | macOS Catalina Keyboard Troubles

    Tilda character (~) in terminal. If I remove the voodoops2 from loading in the config plist it won't do anything so I know that kext is doing something anyway.

    Alienware m15 R3 2020 | macOS Catalina Keyboard Troubles

    I can't get any keys to register except for the FN + F12 combination. I've tried just about every configuration and order of Voodoo controllers possible in my OC folder & config plist. I've thumbed through other success posts for older model Alienware laptops, and it seems like they could get...

    Alienware m15 R3 2020 | macOS Catalina Keyboard Troubles

    @Feartech, do you have any problems leaving the VoodooInput.kext enabled in both VoodooI2C and VoodooPS2Controller? In Dortania's guide it says to disable one to avoid conflicts.

    Alienware m15 R3 2020 | macOS Catalina Keyboard Troubles

    I installed the KeyCastr app on macOS, and the FN + F12 key combination was reported as an F18 key press even though no other keys appear to be detected. On boot the menu bar displays input devices with a US keyboard when only the built-in keyboard is attached. This makes me think that the...

    Alienware m15 R3 2020 | macOS Catalina Keyboard Troubles

    Thanks for the reply @Feartech! Is it possible the touchpad and keyboard could use both HID and PS2? The reason I ask is the Windows device manager tree shows both PS2 and HID for both touchpad and keyboard with only built-in devices attached. Also with VooDoo PS2 or HID kext removed and config...

    Alienware m15 R3 2020 | macOS Catalina Keyboard Troubles

    I believe these are the relevant parts of the ioreg output regarding the built-in laptop keyboard. The output is confusing because my understanding is PS2 and HID were separate devices. I did have to boot with a USB keyboard to enter my password and login, but these screenshots were pulled after...

    Alienware m15 R3 2020 | macOS Catalina Keyboard Troubles

    @Feartech, sorry for the delayed response. I hope you are still willing to help out! I tried to run IORegistryExplorer in Catalina and received an error. I went to the AppStore to download XCode, and found that I needed Big Sur. I've upgraded to Big Sur through about my mac > system update, and...

    Alienware m15 R3 2020 | macOS Catalina Keyboard Troubles

    Thanks for being patient with me. I'm fully installed with Catalina 10.15.7. Most everything seems to work well, except for the built in keyboard and I think WiFi. An external USB keyboard does work. I have the flag -wenoegpu set in the config.plist to disable my nVidia card. Running solely on...

    Alienware m15 R3 2020 | macOS Catalina Keyboard Troubles

    I'm looking for any advice to get Catalina to detect the keyboard on an Alienware m15 R3 from 2020. After booting to macOS, the keyboard is completely unresponsive. This is the standard keyboard with 4 zone LED. Touchpad seems to work great with the Voodoo kexts. I'm including a screenshot of...
