[README] Common (some unsolved) Problems in 10.12 Sierra

Jmmv2 said:
So I've gotten most everything working on my Hackintosh (Sierra 10.12.4) laptop.

My machine is an HP Pavilion (p214dx) with a Synaptics trackpad.

The only problem I can see is that under System Preferences > Accessibility > Mouse & Trackpad, there is no "Trackpad Options..." button to enable dragging.

I have the most recent VoodooPS2Controller kext installed and I've tried numerous SMBIOS profiles to no avail.

I was able to enable dragging by editing ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleMultitouchTrackpad.plist but this isn't ideal.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I should mention a couple things:

Originally the SysPrefs -> Trackpad option was empty. I tried a few variations of the VoodooPS2Controller kext, nothing changed. So I used the only working Trackpad.prefpane I could find [https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Voodoo-PS2-Controller/issues/85], the one that DevBau posted.

In IOReg, it shows my trackpad under the ApplePS2MouseDevice, but that might be normal

Don't mess with the prefpane files.
Do a fresh install to restore.
Also, you have way too much garbage installed...
Start over by following the guide:

You are using ig-platform-id 0x16160002. 0x16160002 uses a PWMMax of 0x65c, not 0xad9. As mentioned in the backlight guide, it means you have to either set LMAX to 0x65c (in SSDT-Config.aml). Or you can patch the framebuffer to change the PWMMax in 0x16160002 from 0x065c to 0xad9.

For example, you could use this patch for AppleIntelBDWGraphicsFramebuffer to change the PWMMax used:
Find: <6C 05 00 00 6C 05 00 00>
Replace <d9 0a 00 00 d9 0a 00 00>

I've added your patch using Clover, but the result in terms of the lag on boot being fixed but backlight control not working is the same. Maybe you'd like to take a look at this @egore
