PROBLEM:
External monitors are not working on DisplayPort or HDMI. I understand this may be impossible because the ports (HDMI / DP) may be directly connected to the GTX1060. I have a two adapters on order (TB3 to HDMI and TB3 to DisplayPort) to try the TB3/USB-C ports to see if they can support DisplayPort Alternate mode in Sierra.
SYSTEM:
Alienware 13 R3 i7-6700HQ HD530 Optimus GTX1060 with Sierra 12.2. Vanilla installation, all Clover injected kexts, no S/L/E kexts. Dual booting Windows 10 on second NVMe drive.
WORKING:
Intel HD530 1536MB (Metal OK, QHD 2550x1440)
Disabled Optimus Nvidia GTX1060 (DSDT patch)
NVMe (PikerAlpha Kext Patch)
Audio (AppleALC.kext / inject layout 13)
Ethernet (Killer e2400 / AtherosE2200Ethernet.kext)
WiFi / Bluetooth (swapped in M.2 DW1560 [BCM94352Z])
BT4LE / 5Ghz (FakePCIID)
Keyboard / Trackpad / Gestures / Scrolling (VoodooPS2)
CPU Power Management (Sierra 12.2 with i7-6700HQ / SMBIOS 13,3 seems natively supported)
USB3 (native all ports are OK, haven't tested thoroughly though)
NOT WORKING:
Brightness (broken in Windows too though, may be OEM firmware/ACPI issue with OLED, I see a lot of support requests for Lenovo/Dell laptops with OLED displays having similar problems, waiting on Alienware/Dell to see if they toss out a BIOS update or some type of direct firmware update)
HDMI/Displayport video out
POINTS OF INTEREST:
2x NVMe slots, both working (OEM Toshiba 256GB and Intel p600 512GB)
32GB RAM installed (2x16GB DDR4 2133mhz)
Stock M.2 NGFF WiFi (Killer 1435) was A+E Keyed M.2 card, but fortunately the motherboard slot is E-Keyed, which fit the DW1560 (E-keyed)
UNKNOWN / DON'T CARE:
TB3 (assumed not working)
Sleep (don't really care)
Touch (shows up as USB HID, but no response)
