Either will work.
I prefer to install my kexts to /L/E. It is also what Apple recommends.

Hi Rehabman,

I had the same lag problem on my HD5500 using ig-platform-id 0x16260006.

I tried following your guide by removing one connector from the pipe count and putting port 204 (this is the port my Laptop is using for HDMI) into the place of port 105. After rebooting, the HDMI connection didn't work anymore but the lag was gone (I followed the steps from your post but just applying it for the Broadwell framebuffer/data). Then I figured out that when I don't remove the unused port from the pipe count and replacing

<01050B00 00040000 07050000 02040B00 00040000 07050000>

with

<FF000000 01000000 40000000 02040B00 00080000 07050000>

the HDMI connection works and there is no lag when logging and waking up after sleep.

The above patch is the only one needed. It also enables HDMI audio on port 204.

Hi haimann951, I need your help about fixing the lag after logging. Your fix is working for 16260006 but I need the same thing for 16160002 which gives me a chance to restart the system after waking from sleep with the blank screen. 16260006 however, crashes and leaving me no option other than force restart.

Thanks.

Here's the thread that I discuss my Sleep/Wake issue:

The sleep/wake issues with Broadwell may not be related to the lag.
But, you could always try eliminating unused ports and see what happens.
Attach ioreg that was captured while an external display was connected.

SysPrefs -> Trackpad is empty

You can work around by copying the prefpane for the trackpad from 10.11.

Details here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/solved-trackpad-preference-pane-is-blank.199946/

Use VoodooPS2Controller.kext v1.8.25 or later.

https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Voodoo-PS2-Controller

I did a fresh install of 10.12.6 on my HP Probook 470 G0 circa 31/08/2017 with the 1.8.27 (at that time), and last night (03/09/2017) replaced with 1.8.28 that's suppose to have fixes for 10.12 issues. and it's loaded when checking with kextstat

But I'm still not seeing the trackpad options in the sysprefs, only "awaiting bluetooth trackpad". Is that the correct behavior?
Two finger gestures are working, but the three finger tap (that I used for "mission control" on 10.11.x) still doesn't seem to work.
