Lenovo X240 with Ultra Dock support? Need help

[URBANsUNITED]

Hi!

Originally posted at the X240 guide, but looks like there is no interest anymore...

I am having issues with my X240 setup.
Basically I am using a mix of the original x240.aml file, but ignored some parts like USB.
I go with these hot patch files only:
#include "SSDT-XOSI.dsl"
#include "SSDT-BAT.dsl"
#include "SSDT-KBD.dsl"
#include "SSDT-ALS0.dsl"

Most of the stuff is proper working, but I want to use my Lenovo dock.
2 Problems:

1. the Laptop display is NOT showing as internal
2. The HDMI output is working, BUT I can't boot with HDMI connected. I must connect HDMI after the system booted.

USB isn't setup fully, will do this later with a separate SSDT.

How can I fix this please?

Thanks in advance

you haven't installed any kexts in /Library/Extensions
How and where to install kexts:

[GUIDE] Installing 3rd Party Kexts - El Capitan, Sierra, High Sierra, Mojave, Catalina

Installing 3rd Party Kexts in /Library/Extensions Note: This guide was originally written to support MacOS Mojave and older versions (< r5200) of the Clover boot-loader. The methods detailed here are now considered legacy methods and should only used with older versions of MacOS as detailed...

Thanks Feartech for your answer- Yeah, I know this and I am doing it on purpose! My system works - Wifi, Bluetooth, Battery,... PS2 and USB are the parts where I have to get my hands on. But currently I am using USB mouse and keyboard But I want more!
My problem has nothing to do with the used kexts as I am using the Framebuffer part for using the graphics.
So, please ignore this part. I am more here for Framebuffer patching...

Thanks

booting with hdmi can cause issues, it is quite common, best to plug in hdmi after boot

Yeah, I know. But I want to get rid off. I want to use the laptop as a mobile and desktop unit. Wife friendly too.
My VGA works too, but I don't get the proper resolution, that could be another option.
What about the laptop display set to internal?

boot without external monitor

also vga hasn't been support on macs for over 10 years

VGA can work on HD4400 systems. It's more like by accident. Mine works, at least particular. All I need to do is to set the proper resolution somehow
AND how to set the "internal" laptop display to internal?
I believe all handle able by modifying the framebuffer
