Hi all,
I have a Thinkpad X1 Extreme whichI configured it pretty well and it is up and working.
Configuration: https://github.com/Errrneist/Hackintosh-Thinkpad-X1-Extreme
It seems like not many people talked about the Thunderbolt 3 compatibility for these laptops, but I wonder if this is possible.
We now know that the HDMI2.0 port on this laptop is hard wired to the not working GTX 1050ti DGPU, so the only hope for connecting the laptop to an external monitor or external GPU is try to make the Thunderbolt 3 port working.
It has been tested that the USB3.1 on Thunderbolt 3 port is working, I connected a USB type C to USB type A dongle onto the laptop and both ports work flawlessly without any issue. I tried to use the mini displayport inside the TB3/USB3.1 connector and it does not output signal. Obviously, Thunderbolt 3 is not working since under System Report it displays:
Thunderbolt: No drivers are loaded.
I also tried this guide using SSDT V3 but it doesn't work: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/in-progress-ssdt-for-thunderbolt-3-hotplug.248784/
So I am really stuck since I really want to connect my hackintosh laptop to an external GPU (or an external monitor at least). I have both USB-C to DP and an AORUS GTX1080 eGPU ready and I just need some advices on what to do next... Anyone have an idea on how to get it to work?
Thanks!
