Thank You for your input!
I have been
for two nights now on what seems to me should be a simple thing to do. I downloaded WEG and NoVPAJpeg. I copied them to /L/E and rebooted. No result. So I started digging. Everything I found says this is the proper procedure. I finally came to installing IOJones to find for sure they are not loaded. I have tried 'kextload' and 'sudo kextutil' to only continue getting permission errors. I changed ownership, set permissions 755 and even 777. I moved them to trash, emptied trash, downloaded KextBeast and let KB install them to /L/E. I disabled SIP in Clover Configurator (0x28 0x67). Always the same result. Even after installing with KB i still notice that the file permissions for both kexts end with '@'. The extended permissions tag. Not sure if this is normal. Please see attached screenshots.

I feel like this should be such a simple thing. Everyone here does it successfully. I have not had this problem on any other build. I am feeling like the village idiot! Thank You In Advance.
UPDATE: Just after writing this I found a utility named 'Kext Utility'. It claimed to repair kext permissions. Now, not only does WEG and NoVPAJpeg not load, but Lilu which was loading does not either according to IOJones!
In fact it now looks like nothing in /L/E is loading according to IOJones. However some show with 'kextstat'.
p.s. I am working on the Z77x in my signature
