[WorkInProgress] ThinkPad T530 - El Captain

Not open for further replies.
Yow yow,

What would be the final wrap up for this model T530 Lenovo laptop in terms of HD4000 graphics.

I Got everything running quiet good. But got maybe a few questions left.

I run my T530 with 16 gig of ram.

Its quiet sufficient of what i want to get out of it. But i can only use it with an external screen, and he kind of "freezes" when resolution changes... This is obviously the driver.

What would be the main mac osx "driver" ext for intel HD 4000 to use, to make the internal screen work. Or at least have the possibility to switch resolutions. At the moment I can only run in 1680x1050 with 1536 MB graphical ram.

I should probably not be to eager to get the lower resolutions working, but who would i add those up to 800x600 to the ext file?

Thank you for the guide! I just finished a T530 Hackintosh with 1080p LCD panel and SSD upgrade - works almost like a Macbook Pro. I got the brightness function keys to work by using the following DSDT patch:

into method label _Q15 replace_content
begin
// Brightness Down\n
Notify(KBD, 0x0205)\n
Notify(KBD, 0x0285)\n
end;
into method label _Q14 replace_content
begin
// Brightness Up\n
Notify(KBD, 0x0206)\n
Notify(KBD, 0x0286)\n
end;

Hello there!

This is my first attempt to install OS X El Capitan on my ThinkPad t530, I have read as much as I could and the result has always been the same, I can not make it work as it should. I have done the installation with Unibeast 6, the version for El Capitan, I have done the postinstall with Multibeast, the result is that I can start the OS, but I have been able to solve issues like battery, audio, backlight, suspend ... I reviewed the post on DSDT / SSDT I have even worked on the DSDT but I still do not know what operations to perform on SSDT, as I understand I should put them all in the patched Clover directory but, how do I put them there if I have not modified them? I hope they can guide me to achieve finish working on my ThinkPad. Thanks in advance, I hope to read your comments soon.

P.S: Sorry about my English.

Did you manage to get the NVS 5400M card working as well?
