[Guide] Acer Swift 3 – macOS Sierra 10.12.2

[Paragon]

Thank you for reply, RehabMan.

For now, I am happy that most functionality works well.

I tried to reinstall all steps again. But I didn't apply IntelBacklight.kext and ACPIBacklight.kext.

By the way, I wish the brightness control could be worked.

================================

Here are what I did to try enable brightness control.

It is a bug in the latest iasl (you must be building it from source). Use pre-built iasl from my bitbucket.
Also, read guide for instructions on using latest "last known good" iasl:

- According to your comment, I retrieved RehabMan/Intel-iasl.git and jumped to old commit before 22 Dec 2016 (the Created-date of this thread).

- I did disassembly, compile, fix error syntax, apply Skylake LPC Fix to DSDT.aml, ... everything went well and I reboot.

- The display option in System preferences showed Preferences Error.

- I used DarwinDumper and got [1. Custom EDID, 2. VendorID, 3. ProductID] to config it in Clover Configurator.

- I reboot once, and now I can access to display option. But there is no slider brightness control.

- I have attached my Clover to this comment.

Thank you so much for your kind help.

Your DSDT does not have "Brightness Fix" applied.

Oh, Thank you!

You're right. Everything works like a charm.

Thank you, RehabMan.

Hi Andrea1616,

I know that Currently, I have a lot of work. So, yes, it's planned but not now. Probably, early February. Sorry. I can, however, deposit my EFI directory and you see?

Note : On my version of laptop no IC2 driver only trackpad and no brightness for moment, ok.
