Thank you, now everything is working properly. I cleared a couple of (old) errors in my DSDT, added the "Brightness Fix" and your IntelBacklight.kext and now the brightness is perfect, also in Mavericks (I got a dual boot laptop). Also, following you guide, I fixed my DSDT for battery status, added your ACPIBatteryManager.kext and now the battery status works smoothly. Great.

i have a T440s and was hit by this issue. i solved by taking an someones EDID for 1600x900 14in monitor that was OK. and replaced the essential timing information (descriptor 1) from my non-working-in-sierra EDID. and then clover injects it.

Note: it was not about screen size - i tried that. i am not sure which exact param made the diff - i suspect the basic parameter line to be the problem. 11 78 02 -> 11 78 EA

Note: i didnt bother to copy the chroma information - but may do that later on. as i use a EDID override with custom white point etc. example of before and after as it may help some else as it did for me.

Attach ioreg as ZIP: http://www.tonymacx86.com/audio/58368-guide-how-make-copy-ioreg.html. Please, use the IORegistryExplorer v2.1 attached to the post! DO NOT reply with an ioreg from any other version of IORegistryExplorer.app.

Provide output (in Terminal):
Code: 
kextstat|grep -y acpiplat
kextstat|grep -y appleintelcpu
kextstat|grep -y applelpc
kextstat|grep -y applehda

Attach EFI/Clover folder as ZIP (press F4 at main Clover screen before collecting). Please eliminate 'themes' directory. Provide only EFI/Clover, not the entire EFI folder.

Attach output of (in Terminal):
Code: 
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions && sudo kextcache -u /

Compress all files as ZIP. Do not use external links. Attach all files using site attachments only.

Open the DisplayVendorID-xxx file "inside" of the folder with same name with "TextEdit.app" and save it with any name.

Hi, I'm lost here, I open the file inside the folder with same name with TextEdit.app but when I try to save its just saving exactly same thing, I mean nothing is changed in file and no option to rename or change extension or anything. I do not understand what exactly to do or to save how?

The fix here does not involve a display override file.
You can inject EDID with Clover.

I;m trying to follow this:

Using "DarwinDumper", extract the Display EDID info from laptop into a folder
Use "FixEDID.app" to create the custom EDID from the EDID.bin file. (see previous post)
This will generate three files on desktop.
Open the DisplayVendorID-xxx file "inside" of the folder with same name with "TextEdit.app" and save it with any name. <<Here I open the file with textedit app and save....what to save? opening and saving have no result
Using PlistEdit Pro.app open the saved text file and copy the converted EDID info to Clover Custom EDID section.
***Note: you cannot use the edid info from the text file in Clover Configurator.app as is.****

Copy the same DisplayVendorID and DisplayProductIDs integers as hex values (eg) 0x????) to Clover's
VendorID and ProductID also.
Select "Inject EDID" in Clover and reboot.
Now injection is through Clover only...no kext required.

Using Clover_3786

Of course you will NOT install the kext.

Not necessary. Read post #1.
