Hi,
I get the new Alienware Area51M R2 with an RX5700m! as eGPU. I get the AMD GPU because the possibility to get OSX working.
This was good choice - the rx5700m working out of the box! I get for now in Big Sur near everything to work :
eGPU,WLAN,BT,LAN,Keyboard,Touchpad,USB,TB, DP/HDMI out etc....
Only 3 Devices make problems:
1.) Display is an 144HZ 1920x1080 FHD and - under Windows - the only resolution is 1920x1080 with 144HZ! (?????!!!!)
I create individual Resolutions with SwitchResx - only 1920x1080 (without HDPI)with 144 HZ works. I got it with this
app to change the resolution after login. With HDPI I get an 960x540 too... but no luck to get it at login screen. With an fake Monitor Kext I get login screen - but only with an 4K Profile and I can't see login field...... EDID Insert not work.... All WEG boot args are not working. I'm searching for an Possibility to get login screen working and Desktop without this app.
2.) Audio - the codec is an ALC215 - with Layout 18 i get the Audio device up and can change volume. But no sound from internal speakers.....
3.) TouchPad - working with ApplePS2smart....kext. But not good. Any ideas for this Alienware Touchpad ?
Thanks for Help.
