Final Few Issues Regarding High Sierra on Lenovo Miix 720

PS2 kexts will not help you with a USB device.

I believe I have the USB and Backlight working properly now (will post Problem Reporting files tomorrow to check).

As far as the touchpad goes, do you know of any way to get the trackpad to be recognized properly?

You should first determine which kind of trackpad you have (how it is connected, PS2, I2C, or USB).

Ok. What would be the best way of doing this? I have both Linux and Windows on the laptop already. I believe I can chalk it up to not being I2C. I know the touchscreen is though.

in wondows, device manager, will tell you your trackpad

So, I'm assuming this is what we are looking for. Says that is "on USB Input Device". I have another that is a Wacom Device which I am assuming is the touchscreen.

Nope. This is the type cover itself. (Forgive the mess. I need to clean it sometime.)

If it is detected (eg. your USB configuration is correct, and you see it in System Information->USB), but not working, then you likely will need a custom kext (which will require documentation on the USB protocol and a developer to create the kext).

I suppose this will just remain something that doesn't work then. It's really quite sad given how well the computer performs with macOS.

Though, it isn't required to use this keyboard, so I can just look into a small form factor mechanical keyboard along with a mouse/trackball.

Well, I suppose I will move on to other issues, and I will post my PR files. It is still finicky on boot. The Apple logo still has to scale up half way through the load, and one it does, there are still times where the screen will go black until I disconnect/reconnect the type cover. Works perfectly fine after that though.

Also, I know the USB is still using the patch, but that is because I am waiting on a USB C dongle for testing before I start blacklisting unused ports.
