Catalina on Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen5 (half way to fully works)

[zvalo]

Hello, I've successfully install Catalina 10.15.1 on my Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen5, but there are some issues.

About my notebook:
Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen5
BIOS 1.42
Processor: Intel i7-7500 2.70GHz 2.90GHz
RAM: 2x4GB
Audio: Conexant CX8200 SmartAudio HD
BT: Intel
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 620
HDD: Samsung SSD NVMe
WiFi: Intel AC 8265
LAN: Intel I219-V
Connected through Thunderbolt 3 to dock.


What's work:

• Graphics (resolution OK, Intel HD Graphics 620 2048 MB)
• Sound (internal sound, headphones, thunderbolt 3 USB dock)
• USB (keyboard, mouse, wifi dongle, external disks ...)
• Battery in menubar with percentage show
• Keyboard shortcut for Volume (mute, increase, reduce - F1,F2,F3 keys)
• Keyboard for brightens (keys F5 and F6)
• Keyboard backlight (Fn + Space)
• WiFi only with USB dongle (chip isn't supported I think)
• iCloud, iMessage, AppStore

Doesn't work:

• Thunderbolt external monitor / or monitor over HDMI (when connected, notebook restarts)
• Keyboard F4 key for Mic (and no light)
• I don't know, any other F keys? (F7-F12 have any sense?)
• Keyboard CapsLock light (only blink one time when push)
• BT works partially (can't be turn off)
• Internal Wifi, but isn't supported I think (Intel AC 8265)

Clover is older: 4961


Finally:
I read a lot on this website, but I'm not sure if I understand everything. I'm afraid not understand ACPI, DSDT ... OSX boot too slow, first starts quite fast into 3/4 and then slow ... slow ... slow ... and boot finally to OSX. (I mean a white line under Apple logo)


Questions:

1. I've created own DSDT.aml, but I'm not sure ... works fine or not? (see Doesn't work part)
2. And need I any other .aml?
3. Kexts must be in EFI or in /L/E ?
4. Used I all necessary kexts?
5. What's wrong in my config?

Can someone help me with this? All logs, reports and EFI are in attached file. File "crash_report.txt" is from report after ntbk restarts when HDMI was plugged-in.

Many thanks.
