I wouldnt be surprised if your touchpad was I2C. Do you have Windows on this machine still by chance? Its super easy to determine if the trackpad is I2C in device manager. If it is, check into VoodooI2C for touchpad

I have tried VoodooI2C and Voodool2CHID with DSDT patching without success

Solved it now and the track pad is working:

1. In ACPI section of Clover configurator I had to add:
change OSID to XSID
change _OSI to XOSI (please see attached file for details)
(solution comes from VoodooI2C support)

2. Two files were added to my CLOVER - ACPI - patched
SSDT-XOSI.aml, SSDT-I2C.aml
(solution comes from VoodooI2C support)

3. I removed
AppleIntelLpssI2C.kext, AppleIntelLpssI2CController.kext., AppleHPM.kext,
(not sure if it is needed)

3. Installed required kexts
CLOVER - kexts - Other VoodooI2C,VoodooI2CHID,VoodooPS2Controller.kext


4. Patch DSDT via MaciASL as per manual with
[GPIO] GPIO Controller Enable [SKL+]
[Windows] Windows 10 patch

Removing the OS kexts is not necessary, you can add CoolStar's patches to your config.plist instead

OS-X-Clover-Laptop-Config/config_patches.plist at bcd876e93df197c1cbf04ba5923b5479f94988d4 · RehabMan/OS-X-Clover-Laptop-Config

Some Clover config.plist files for common Intel graphics configurations - RehabMan/OS-X-Clover-Laptop-Config

This method is also update-proof, no need to remove the kexts after every system update.

@Lukaszjg can you please post your current EFI folder here, I am having real trouble booting up the installer on my dell 5584. I could surely use yours as a reference point. Thanks

@Lukaszjg thanks, I got catalina installed and working, only issue is battery drain. I will take a look at your clover and see if i can get a hint of improving battery life myself.

Could you share your clover folder ?
