jus12 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 i use maciASL as well. but check your preferences to use ACPI 6.1 the source file dsdt.dsl is provided so you can see the code directly. the iasl binary file to compile the dsdt is there too - which is the version i used to compile it. Thanks that worked. In regard to the other topic. Is there any chance to get the tap working as mouse click on the T420 trackpad? Or it was in regard to external Apple pad?

goodguess Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 On my side, tapping the ultranav trackpad is usually not working after booting in 10.12. After some time, tapping does work however (for unknown reasons). Trackpoint is unusable still, because of fastness and jumpiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After some time, tapping does work however (for unknown reasons). Trackpoint is unusable still, because of fastness and jumpiness. Use the kext that i attached. You will loose touchpad gestures (only scrolling will remain). I tweaked this old kext to work great with trackpoint (as i use only trackpoint and can't understand people using touchpad ).

tluck Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 you can change the characteristic of the TrackPoint speed and jumpiness by changing the parameters in VoodooPS2Trackpad.kext Info.plist. the defaults for me were the same - way to jumpy and speedy. so i put in a T420 set of values that work for my box. but changing mousemultiplier and the resolution will alter the trackPoint movement 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodguess Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Hey gpspl, you made my day! Many many thanks for fixing the track point for Sierra, thats a really valuable improvement for ThinkPad users. Is it asking for too much that you would look into trackpad tapping as well?

tluck Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 what HW you guys on without tapping? do you have T420 PS2K identifier in your DSDT ? Note: the system prefs/TrackPad GUI for sierra is broken - but there an el cap version that can be used for Sierra. tapping works for me on El Cap and Sierra? meaning 1 tap on trackpad is a click. 2 taps on a window selects it - and then i can move it. another thing you can do to make the TrackPoint work well is disable the VoodooPS2TrackPad.kext (just remove and rebuild caches). Then the VoodooPS2Mouse.kext functions to drive the trackpad as a simple mouse as well as TrackPoint - super smooth then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VoodooPS2controll by rehabman can't deliver good trackpoint functionality (rehabman told me that he don't have a hardwere to make it work perfect) Hey gpspl, you made my day!

NSCXP2005 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Hi all, would this guide work with a T400? Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tluck Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 @NSCXP2005 - you would follow a similar process. but no. The T400 has different components. For example, core2 duo proc and really really old gfx. so the DSDT and many of the custom kexts will not work. I googled "T400 hackintosh" and see that someone was success in installing Snow Leopard (10.6.x) This guide seems to work on a variety of Lenovo machines from the 2011-2012 era - that have a Sandy Bridge architecture. @gpspl - my trackPoint is working very smooth and not jumpy anymore with the T420 overrides values. but if I use the defaults - not smooth. but hey if you guys have a solution - great!

goodguess Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 After a KP I downgraded my SSD to 10.11.6 and T420_UEFI-Clover-b3348_10.9_10.10_10.11_2016-02-11 for now were everything is running flawlessly. I´ll give Sierra a go again with a spare USB HDD next week or so. Big thanks for all that labour of love, keeping the T420 up to date with Apple´s ongoing "improvements"!

cydonia Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Just got my wifi card. Changed it and it started working automatically, no extra kexts needed By the way, is there any news on the artifacts? I keep getting some black lines on the screen now and then (particularly now, to be honest) and it's a bit annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cydonia Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 By the way, am I the only one with screwed up Fn buttons? When I try to lower the screen brightness using the built-in Fn End key, it raises the brightness instead. Pressing Fn Home raises the brightness too. No big deal, just a bit annoying.

tluck Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 @NSCXP2005 - either should work - T420 or T420i - forget the Nvidia - won't work 100%. Intel HD3000 is better. @jus12 - that code fills the text fields for the Battery ID. had trouble years ago converting the original encoding - and who cares to see real SSN of battery. @xtddd - no sure i understand your question? that code is very similar to the T420 device of SMCD - the FakeSMC/ACPISensor kexts should see those 2 variables in say the HWMonitor.app the B1B2 stuff below is to convert to 8-bit values- the original HFAN variable was split into to 8-bit vars HFN1 and HFN2 - the macro puts them back together // tjl-begin - add monitor function for TMP and FAN Device (SMCD) { Name (_HID, "MON0000") // _HID: Hardware ID Method (FAN0, 0, NotSerialized) { Store (B1B2 (^^EC.HFN1, ^^EC.HFN2), Local0) Return (Local0) } Method (TCPU, 0, NotSerialized) { Store (^^EC.TMP0, Local0) Return (Local0) } } // tjl-end @cyndonia - common issue with Sierra - so called NX keys are not working as expected. For now, i use Karibiner-elements which maps F1/F2 for screen and F10/11/12 for audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tluck Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 yes. you have to enable this feature with the Systems Prefs Trackpad option - just like a real mac. in sierra this panel is blank. so you have to 1) enable on El capitan and Upgrade 2) download the el capitan version to set i was going to post a short video showing the smoothness of the TrackPoint for me (it behaves very close to windows) - and the 1 click via trackpad tap. i will update the zip soon. clover update and minor tweak to TrackPad settings - this what i have VoodooPS2Trackpad.kext Info.plist and seems just a tad better than before <key>TrackPad</key> <dict> <key>BogusDeltaThreshX</key> <integer>400</integer> <key>BogusDeltaThreshY</key> <integer>350</integer> <key>DivisorX</key> <integer>1</integer> <key>DivisorY</key> <integer>1</integer> <key>DragLockTempMask</key> <integer>262148</integer> <key>FakeMiddleButton</key> <false/> <key>FingerZ</key> <integer>47</integer> <key>MomentumScrollThreshY</key> <integer>16</integer> <key>MouseMultiplierX</key> <integer>8</integer> <key>MouseMultiplierY</key> <integer>8</integer> <key>MultiFingerHorizontalDivisor</key> <integer>4</integer> <key>MultiFingerVerticalDivisor</key> <integer>4</integer> <key>Resolution</key> <integer>3200</integer> <key>ScrollDeltaThreshX</key> <integer>20</integer> <key>ScrollDeltaThreshY</key> <integer>20</integer> <key>ScrollResolution</key> <integer>3200</integer> <key>SmoothInput</key> <false/> <key>UnitsPerMMX</key> <integer>200</integer> <key>UnitsPerMMY</key> <integer>200</integer> <key>UnsmoothInput</key> <false/> </dict> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tluck I'm trying to get Clover working in full resolution (1920x1080) on my W520 and Nvidia. I did exactly same things in config.plist as you did in the 1600x version. I injected EDID I exported under windows for my W520 display and I changed the resolution but it does nothing. Would I need to patch VBios in addition to that, you didn't do that?

Frenelius Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Thank you! @tluck, my T420 is running Sierra perfectly, including F keys (karabiner-elements). I do not feel any issue for now. Power usage on idle is around 4.2W, fan at 1930 rpm and CPU at 42C. System is i5-2520m, 8GB ram, msata SSD, 1600x900., 9 cell battery (40% wear). No other hdd.

tluck Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 @xtddd - you have to add B1B2 it an extra functions - there are couple of other ones like that int there. they combine 8-bit vars into a single value. there may be some patchmatic scripts now. This DSDT work was done like 3+ years ago to convert relevant 16bit, 32bit variables into a bunch of 8 bit vars per the newer specs for ACPI. @Frenelius - glad it worked as expected! @jus12 so for my 1600x900 LCD I inject a proper 1600x900 EDID to fix the broken which was common in many of AUO made screens. The LG mfg ones (like my replacement) seem to be OK. ... to get the LCD to display 1920x1080 (non-native) I add that size option to the DisplayOverride files. i have examples in my zip. they match the vendor/product IDs of the LCD which is defined in the EDID. i presume you have working EDID? I don't know what your native LCD resolution. this screen shows the way to get tap clicks: see Clicking/Dragging/Drag Lock - these seem to be off by default in OSX. NOTE: it would nice/smart of y'all to put your machine specs in your profiles... that way don't have to assume so much when you ask questions.
