Excellent, I'm just doing the final changes on the config.plist and will publish the files on Github.

Ok we can give this a try and see how it works, when I publish the files, replace with the ones on my GitHub so you have frame buffers working correctly and maybe VGA will work on the dock too with my files.

Excellent, I can see that the codec dump shows the pin complex nodes of the Dock as well, this might even further fix existing issues that the codec had. I will work on updating the ALC3232.kext with support for the dock as well.

Extra question, does the dock have a combo jack for headphones or separate (1 for headphones & 1 for mic) ?

Thanks, will update the files with support for Dock.

Ok thanks for the clarification, I was a bit confused there, Yes that's true, now I remember that you even mentioned that the 16 port is a ghost port, it is already commented on SSDT-UIAC-ALL.dsl
woow a big thx for your work.
i’ll install mac os new but do i still these kext

FakePCIID.kext + FakePCIID_Intel_HD_Graphics.kext + FakePCIID_HDMI_Audio.kext.

?

And i think on the dock its a combo jack.

VGA on Laptop worked already before, with your first guid.

Here are the latest files of the guide and they support macOS Mojave.

here is the link to my T440 repo:
https://github.com/BesnikRrustemi/Lenovo-ThinkPad-T440

it will be easier for you to track updates/changes/fixes on the repo by reading the commits.

Also for installation guide for macOS Mojave follow the quick guide that I created here on T440S Guide: #128
Its all the same except that you will take the files from the T440 repo instead as I posted above.
I didn't have time to Finnish writing the guide for macOS Mojave yet, im 70% done but I will Finnish as soon as time allows.

Make sure to give a try to VGA Port on the Dock & Laptop itself.

I think it should work now (at least on the laptop) and everything else.

I will try to patch Audio for Dock Support on Weekend as I will have more time.
hi,

so I update my refi with your news files, it boots to os but have some issues.


no battery shown (can't activate in settings)
don't get any SMC sensor info like Fan speed.
get a lot of ACPI resolve errors in verbose boot
and I think restart or shut down is not working as it should, because I get on every boot the error that the computer have to restart again.

audio, video are working fine,
VGA from Laptop without dock is working and if put it on the dock than the VGA from dock is working but the from Laptop stops work(I think this normal)


thx

SSDT-BAT.dsl is messed up, i will rewrite it.

Or take the SSDT-BAT.dsl from the guide here on first post and replace with the one on my github files and build new SSDT-T440.aml

If VGA Port works on dock and not on Laptop if dock is connected that's supposed to be normal.
 
think same as before zip pack. I have done same like in instruction, you mentioned above.
Will check files later as im at work im only replying from phone.

okay battery is back and also there ACPI errors on verbose are gone.
I did used the battery patch from t440s and it worked fine.
because SSDT-BAT.dsl from the guide here get me error

I think the shutdown and reboot problem that I mansion before, is related to dock.
If laptop is on the dock and I reboot or shutdown, I get error on boot.
when it goes to sleep it reboots automatic. but only on the dock.

and somehow me bluetooth is gone rebuild cache but still no bluetooth.

thx

Fixed the SSDT-BAT.dsl on Github & rebuilt SSDT-T440.aml with the fixes.
Test again and see if things work correctly now.

Also test fan RPM, if it doesn't work it should be due to the switch to VirtualSMC.kext and the other plugin kexts
I think i saw that they added a commit with the added Fan Reading code which should be fixed on next release.

However you can delete VirtualSMC.kext and its other plugins, instead use FakeSMC.kext + Plugins + ACPIBatteryManager.kext.
(keep in mind you need to delete EFI/Clover/Drivers64UEFI/Virtualsmc.efi and add SMChelper-64.efi)
Also remove EFI/Clover/kexts/other/ VirtualSMC & plugin kexts and replace with FakeSMC.kext + Plugins + ACPIBatteryManager.kext.

Rebuild caches and everything should be fine.

Dump new ACPI tables on Clover Bootloader Menu (Press F2 & F4) for dump of ACPI and logs (while Dock connected).

It might be a new Instant wake fix needed or something.

Attach Problem Reporting files with Dock connected.
