Success Sierra MacOSX 10.12.6 on Sony VAIO F11

[funkyfrank]

Hi,

here are the recent clover config files for macOS Sierra 10.12.6 including recent security updates using a Sony VAIO F11 notebook (with config Core i7, nVidia GT330m).

Everything works except internal LAN (it will never work due special hybrid firmware, which requires a special driver which does not exist).

Inside VoodooPS2Controller there is VoodooPS2Mouse.kext. Inside that, in the default profile, you can set your touchpad speeds. I disabled "actAsTouchpad", because it is then not compatible with the macos touchpad settings. Maybe needs to changed to touchpad, using a patched touchpad.prefs...

I found these nicely working settings (also in the config):

ActLikeTrackpad NO
ButtonCount 2
DefaultResolution 120
FakeMiddleButton NO
ForceDefaultResolution NO
ForceSetResolution YES
ScrollResolution 20

It is possible that this config already works for High Sierra 10.13.2, too. But I did not test it.

I downloaded your file to try it on my own VAIO F11, but didn't find any config.plist inside... not in the EFI/CLOVER/ folder at least. did I miss something?

Hi, it is located within the OEM directory instead, there inside VPCF11 dir. Because it is a subset of my general all-in-one clover config, capable of booting multiple computers.

Thank you, I will have a look when I have enough time to work on my nVidia black screen issue. Also, I am very interested with having one Clover USB key for several computers without moving or renaming files each time I change... I will study this too !

Hey funkyfrank, I have the same Sony Vaio VPCF11 and I'd like to know your detailed process for getting Sierra on it. I've tried dozens of times, including using your config, and I couldn't even get the installer to boot off the USB (gives me that 'Do not enter' logo). How did you do it? I'd love to get this thing working, thanks.
