Mainly working ^_^ just some small things are not quite right
Hi
@RehabMan. Thanks for the guide.
I have Mojave 10.14.3 running on a HP ProBook 450 G5. I have graphics, sound, wired ethernet (wifi card is on its way). Even iMessage works! What is not quite perfect:
- the numeric keypad cannot be used for navigation (arrow keys, page up/down, home/end do not work)
- "smooth" transitions for brightness - the brightness changes in full steps, the lowest turns off the screen completely
- "smooth" transitions for sound - again full steps only
All quite minor but I really would like to make use of the home/end page up/down and arrow keys.
(When I first tried following your guide, I hit a dead end because the CPU was not recognised. Later, I found the necessary values for my CPU. Then I went back to your guide.)
I followed your guide after I had already tried various things to get the battery status working. When I completed the post-installation steps the battery status functioned correctly. Thanks for that - it is an important feature. As a bonus, I had the following:
- small steps for brightness and sound (as you normally get by holding OPTION and SHIFT when using the controls)
- brightness never drops to total black but behaves like on Apple hardware and just gets very dark
- the numlock keys worked, meaning I could use the arrow keys, page up/down etc.
Because most of the multi-finger gestures did not work on the trackpad I tried to get them working. (Some two and three finger gestures work but most don't.) The trackpad is a Synaptics I2C. I tried, for example, using the VoodooI2C kexts and ApplePS2SmartTouchPad.kext without success. But somehow, I have lost the ability to use the numeric keypad for navigation and the smooth transitions for brightness and sound are gone too.
I have tried undoing everything I tried but it hasn't helped. I also re-did the post-installation steps from your guide. Again to no avail. In summary:
Bash:
$ cd ~/Projects/probook.git
$ ./download.sh
$ ./install_downloads.sh
$ ./install_acpi.sh install_4x0g5_kabylake-r
$ cp config/config_4x0_G5_Kabylake-R.plist /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/config.plist
And, of course, then updating the SMBIOS section.
But I can't the navigation keys on the numeric keypad working. I can't see what I have done wrong. Can you spot anything?
Should I try using the I2C branch in the source repository?
