Ok guys... First impression is awesome! Got two days to dig carefully into every link and understand just a little about what I was doing. My T440 is up and running High Sierra with SSD. Didn't change it to HFS+ because the hint about patching it is after the OS X install instructions. It's a minor issue (I think), so straight to the issues:
1. Don't use a USB3 stick as installation media - at least on my T440 it will lead to an unstable boot condition... system won't even post... remove the usb and voila'... had to find an old usb2 8Gb card to install osx.
2. First boot with the basic kexts from Clover was fine. No graphics glitches, no sound, but ethernet was fine! Installed Clover, minimal change on Sniki's config.plist (resolution 1600x900, DVMT on 32/64Mb as I'm on Haswell), installed recommended kexts using Kext Wizard and boot... Welcome to the glitch and artifacts nightmare... blurred pixels like Minecraft everywhere, screen blinking on some apps (IOReg, Kext Wizzard, i.e.).
3. Hotkeys/function keys are mixed... Mute, Vol Up & Down react showing OSD but there's no sound... not even a device.
4. Bright keys doesn't work... They don't change brightness nor OSD is shown.
5. There's no battery indicator and when I try to enable it on System Preferences / Energy Saver / Show battery... the icon quickly shows and disappears.
@RehabMan and @Sniki , attached are the required "Problem Report" files. Thanks in advance for your help.
"Problem Reporting" files are incomplete (you forgot to press F4 in Clover to capture ACPI/origin).
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.
