(WIP)(GUIDE?) Gigabyte Aero 15-X9-9RT5

[ostrich54321]

Hello, I have been attempting to install Mojave on this laptop, however, I have met many problems.


The freeze I was experiencing was fixed with the following RTC Patch:

Spoiler: Code

<dict>
    <key>Comment</key>
    <string>Fix AsRock Z390 BIOS DSDT Device(RTC) bug</string>
    <key>Disabled</key>
    <false/>
    <key>Find</key>
    <data>
    oAqTU1RBUwE=
    </data>
    <key>Replace</key>
    <data>
    oAqRCv8L//8=
    </data>
</dict>

I will focus on more DSDT patching for now.


What's Working:

• Intel UHD 630 Graphics
• Ethernet, Killer E2500 LAN
• USB, Includes the Keyboard
• Backlight with Adjustable Brightness
• Battery Percentage
• Sensors (Partial)
• Sound
• Disabling NVIDIA Discrete Graphics with SSDT Patching
• Sleep (Everything works, takes around 10-15 seconds to sleep, around 5 seconds to wake up.)

What Doesn't Work:

• Wi-Fi (Have the Intel Card, expected.)
• Touchpad (It is I2C. It does work with VoodooI2C and VoodooI2CHID, but the movement of the cursor makes it unusable. The cursor moves left or right too quickly but moves very slowly from top to bottom.)
• Bluetooth (Have the Intel Card, expected. The Intel Bluetooth does show up in preferences, but it does not see any devices.)
• Keyboard Backlight Control: Not concerned, and wouldn't fix. The Gigabyte keyboard manager in Windows makes changes that persists through reboots in either OS.
• Sometimes the Audio does not work, a reboot fixes this. Same with the backlight (Low priority, but it is annoying).

Working on Touchpad for now, the 3 minute Backlight issue is present now.
