[Guide] Dell XPS 13 9360 on MacOS Sierra 10.12.x - LTS (Long-Term Support) Guide

[the-darkvoid]

I really liked the responsiveness of VoodooI2C with the touchpad, but got quite annoyed by accidental palm touches and the inability to disable the touchpad when using an external mouse.

These functionalities are really great on VoodooPS2Controller. Hence, I have now refactored the notification system on VoodooPS2Controller to allow interacting with VoodooI2CHID.

Compiled updated kexts are published to my XPS9360 repository in kext and CLOVER/kexts/Other/ folders.

Changes:

• Custom updated VoodooPS2Controller to allow 3rd party drivers to subscribe to events
  Pull request with technical details: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Voodoo-PS2-Controller/pull/158
  
  
• Custom updated VoodooI2CHID to subscribe to VoodooPS2Controller events:
  Pull request with technical details: https://github.com/alexandred/VoodooI2CHID/pull/6
  
  
• Updated SSDT-I2C which specifically disables any PS2 touchpad or mouse device from loading to ensure there is no conflict with VoodooI2C.

Hello,

Recently I updated my Clover and some SSDT files, kexts from darkvoid and have the following issues:

- Audio not working (Worked fine before the update)
- Touchpad not working (Worked fine before the update), if I rolled back to my backup Clover, it works again.

AppleALC, AppleHDA and CodecCommander are loaded as seen from kextstat
Running ioreg -l|grep layout-id gives me layout-id=<07000000>
I guess it is the problem but Idk how to modify it

Remove AppleALC from Clover kexts and run XPS9360.sh --patch-hda to create an AppleHDA injector.
Layout ID when using AppleHDA injector should be 0x000001

I tried looking through the entire thread and i couldnt seem to find how to change the ownership and permission of the kext inside the sle postinstall folder. Not only that but it does not specify if to change the permissions of the entire folder or just the 2 files that are added into it. It would be helpul if soemone got back to me. Ive been stuck here for the last 24 hours. I’m also running Mac OS high Sierra 10.13.6 through the clover file dark void made. I boot into Mac fine the only things that don’t work are the track pad and the audio. If this step isn’t necessary for this Mac OS please let me know.

If using AppleALC, you should be using layout ID 0x38 (56). If using my script with AppleHDA injector kext, the layout ID is 0x01 (1).

Use a kext utility, such as Kext Utility

Ok i have another dumb question and i cant seem to find the answers on here. So i made the bootsbke usb drive i installed 10.13.6 with the darkvoid clover file. Now im in the operating system and i make a clover bootloader for my hardrive and switch out the cloverfile with the one from darkvoid. Idk if this is the right procedure because i try to reboot and boot from the ssd and it enters into a kernal panic. And i have to restart all over. Is this caused because i dont install the proper kext before rebooting or is it something to do with the clover bootloader that i made? I just made a standard uefi clover booloader and i also tried the nvram one but neirher worked. Sorry im such a noob at this. This is barely my second day trying this

No one can help you when you fail to attach problem reporting files.

No "Problem Reporting" files attached.
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.
