Hi All,
I've managed to hack my Dell, the specs can be found here:
8th gen Intel i7 8565U with UHD 620 Whiskey Lake (late 2018)
The main issue is that after the verbose (or the apple loader), the screen remains dark (black screen). For minutes...
I can attach an USB C dongle with an HDMI port and a monitor to get myself logged in, the system shows 2 monitors, laptop display and external display.
After a few minutes the screen turns on and functions as normal.
I've tried various configs, but I'm not sure what the exact problem is.
I believe it's either:
- Race condition, certain kexts not loaded soon enough, too late or in the wrong order
- Touch Screen issue? It functions normally after the screen is turned on
- Incorrect framebuffer ? Graphics acceleration is working...
- ?
Please advise...
