[Help] Thinkpad T540p lock screen and sleep problem

[lighting2]

You can check eDP in Winodws (Intel graphics control panel app).
I think eDP machines, especially of your vintage are problematic.
Maybe google will help you.

I installed windows 7 to verify that my machine is only edp
how can I check it in intel control panel

There is an option (in Support, I think) to generate a text file. eDP vs. LVDS is in that text file.

Ok I found it
As the result
connection type : Embedded Display Port
that means this machine could not get full graphics performance

Your ioreg shows backlight control is not implemented.

You're also using an ig-platform-id that is for desktops (0x0d220003). Not likely to work very well on a laptop.

I followed your guide,
I can adjust brightness of screen in system ref,

but when lock screen, it turn off and cannot go back to login, sometimes flash screen ( same video in post #1)
logout is ok, the screen is not off
I attached clover folder and ioreg

0x0d220003 uses PWMMax=0x1499.
You did not configure for it.
SSDT-PNLF.aml assumes 0x0ad9 for Haswell (assumes ig-platform-id 0xa260006 and others which use 0x0ad9 for PWMMax).
As per brightness guide, must use SSDT-Config.aml and set RMCF.LMAX=0x1499.

I modify hotpatch/SSDT-Config.dsl to this:

        // LMAX: Backlight PWM MAX.  Must match framebuffer in use.

        //

        // Ones: Default will be used (0x710 for Ivy/Sandy, 0xad9 for Haswell/Broadwell)

        // Other values: must match framebuffer

        Name(LMAX, 0x1499)

then rebuild
by ./make,
copy output file SSDT-Config.aml to /EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched
then restart
The maximum of brightness bar (in system rf ) is brighter than before (apr 20-25%),
but lock screen no change
still can not bright up again

MacBookPro11,4 is a poor choice. Should be MacBookPro11,1.
I probably mentioned that before...

Macbook 11,1 is still same, nothing changes.

Use the tool mentioned in the FAQ, that way it is less likely you'll omit something.

You will also need to describe the current problem in detail.

I follow this guide https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/
I installed High Sierra to HDD successful.

(to patch backlight control)

after patch backlight, I can adjust backlight bar in system preference


1) I tried to lock screen (from Apple Menu)
few seconds later, screen switch to black ( backlight still available)
I move the mouse or press any key, there is no change, sometime screen flash light ( check the video attached)
Cannot go back to login screen => have to hard reset machine.

2) when I sleep from system menu, system go to sleep, led power blinking, but cannot wakeup back again, I have to hard reset
