Confirmed working Mojave 10.14.1 on HP EliteBook 8470p

I originally purchased this with an i5-3320M @ 2.6GHz and a 1280x768 resolution screen as a Hackintosh project. I upgraded the CPU to a Quad Core i7-3740QM @ 2.7GHz and put 16GB Ram in it. I got High Sierra to originally work, but then I upgraded the screen to 1600x900 and HS could not adapt to the screen.

Unibeast 9 made my installer, and Mojave is running. Immediately, my kb/mouse did not work so installed the VoodooPS2Controller.kext to get them working. The screen was only showing up as 1280x768, so I ran an old installer called "HP Probook Installer Clover Edition 6.4.6.dmg", and the screen is now 1600x900.

I Swapped around a few different wifi cards, but since the 8470p has a BT 4.0 internal card, I went with the Dell DW 1510 a/b/g/n card. Installed the ReHabMan wifi stuff but was having no luck and went with the Lilu/WhateverGreen/AppleALC/AirportBrcmFixup and everything is good now.

Used Migration Assistant to transfer over all my HS stuff and having a blast!

I probably have a lot of extra kexts in there that I don't need, but fully operational for now. Even turned on 1394 and firewire shows up on system report. Have not tried to use it yet.

What "card reader" are you referring to?
 
My 8470P has a built-in smart card for reading cards like below

That's right, i've made a new usb for fresh install and it lets me go on with installation but have some glickers problems with monitor resolution, mine is 1600 x 900 .

I've used a copy of config.plist i've already used for Yosemite install that works out of box.

Any solution please?
