Hello!
After my build on my pc and laptop, my friend asks me if i can help him to build the hackintosh on his XPS15.I'm a little excited.:clap:
His build is:
dell xps15 9550
i7 6700hq
1080p fhd
pm951 512g
And i see that xps15 has a good compatibility with hackintosh,that sounds good.
So i follow this topic:
http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-dell-xps-15-9550-skylake-gtx960m-ssd-via-clover-uefi.192598/
The install is good,so i comes to the step 3.1,DSDT/SSDT Patching.
Firstly i extract the files with Clover F4 and use iasl to get *.dsl,then make a rename _DSM patch with MaciASL, save to aml and copy to efi/clover/acpi/patched. It runs, but the backlight is not working.The screen is very dark and with flicker.But it seems like the gpu works,because the graphic RAM is already 1.5g.
So i continue with patching and comes to 3.1.3. But with the new ones i get Panic..
i check the files and think i carefully follow the guide.
I also follow the guide
http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-patching-dsdt-ssdt-for-laptop-backlight-control.152659/
and install the IntelBacklight.kext, but because of my fail at patching the dsdt it won't work.
Could anyone help me find the problem?
Thanks!
My original Clover F4 extracted files,config.plist,first try and second try files are below:

Add:another question,with clover f4 i don't get ssdt.aml file,only ssdt-0.aml file to ssdt-18.aml files.Is it a problem?

add:i forgot to patch the Brightness Fix in ssdt. Now i patch it and the backlight works.
Very sorry for my careless!
But the dsdt is still a problem.
And more problems:
1.Brightcontrol:lower than 1/4 brightness the screen will suddenly turn black.
2.Whether i fix the shutdown or not,the system will reboot when i tell it to shutdown.
3.Whether i add this code or not, i will not get 5G Wifi.
3.3.3 5ghz patch
