MacPeet Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 @shivaay1234 no, rehabman's IntelBacklight.kext has been broken here since High Sierra, but I have 100% brightness. I never tried Bergdesign. @trupetiago Did you see? My post is from last year. Right, first beta 10.15 still worked here. Latest releases 10.15.6 no longer works here. No install possible. I recommend macOS 10.14.6 Mojave, works perfectly here.

Are you still using it ? im really thinking about making a hack on my 1 gen, but to be honest the fact that it don't have suspension is holding me back.

Badruzeus Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 (edited) Good Old Day! Just installed latest macOS Catalina 10.15.6 on Toshiba Satellite L640 with Intel HD 1st Gen (Arrandale): 1. Using dosdude's Catalina Patcher app for creating Bootable USB Installer plus Post Install (rolling back deprecated Graphics kexts, OpenGL frameworks, Platform patch, etc) for unsupported mach << needs 2 x USB Boots for OS Install and then Post-Install 2. config.plist - Devices - FakeID - IntelGfx=0x12345678 for Pre-Install 3. To achieve QE/CI or Graphics Acceleration with WEG (+Lilu) installed, add Properties for Graphics on config.plist - Devices (plz refer to the manual, or see my screenshot & sample below. Thanks to GoldFish64). Remove IntelGfx FakeID on this case 4. For Native (ACPI) Brightness to works, patched DSDT is needed following old mnorthern's guide. Take a look attached DSDT below. For reference, find: LEVL, os-info, LGD018B, PNLF, _WAK. Also, replace DisplayServices.framework from 10.12.4 located on /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ and add Rehabman's IntelBacklight.kext v1.0.12 (attached) to \EFI\CLOVER\kexts\Other. On my case, Display Brightness Slider is working (or Fn + Keys if remapped already) with no longer need BergDesign incompat 32-bit app. If you have better idea, then let me know. #SomeHINTS: - Platform patch is needed when using unsupported SMBios (eg. MBP6,x) under Catalina. For me, simply change to MBP10,1 BUT.. hey, there will be few issues with PowerManagement, USB Ports, etc (though I've manually fixed them via ACPI) so.., DWYOR! - Use only one PNLF method, choose between Clover Patch, or ACPI (DSDT / SSDT) - Graphics glitch on some apps is known issue with Legacy OpenGL / Metal incapable Graphics under Catalina (and Mojave), but thanks to @AsentientBot for bringing QE/CI back to unsupported mach anyway (Oops, I have no idea with BigSur, my Beta1 download has not finished yet once later Beta was seeded #LOL) Good luck! config_devices_properties.plist.zip DSDT_Sample_Only.aml.zip DisplayServices.framework_10.12.4.zip IntelBacklight.kext_v1.0.12.zip Edited August 3, 2020 by Badruzeus 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nijhawank Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 @Badruzeus what do you do with DisplayServices_framework archive that you attached? Doesn’t the dosdude1 patcher already takes care of patching any required frameworks when you install with a USB prepared with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, there's no issue with Brightness for using with Unsupported (Real) Mac devices under Catalina. Edited August 2, 2020 by Badruzeus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Catalina is usable as a daily driver ? If you close the laptop it crashes ? I mean the suspend/hibernate works ? And a last thing, if i decide to make the same you did on my laptop, could you please provide me some help if i don't understand some part ? If you can't, no problem, hack takes a lot of time.

Are those specific to your display? Mine does not have any EDID values when researched through Linux and Windows. That is the problem for me, I can make the acceleration work, but the screen turns blank. If I access through VNC it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I access through VNC it works. Yes, EDID is specific for each display model. Which macOS version are you using currently? There're bunch of guides for dumping EDID through Linux. Under Windows, there's a small free software named "Monitor Asset Manager" (I got issue dumping EDID with RWEverything on recent win versions btw). But plz note that display black screen issue is not always caused by EDID. On my case (Toshiba L640 / L645) there's Display Option on BIOS: Auto, and LCD only. If I choose Auto, I got blackscreen once logged into macOS. But switching to Internal LCD is OK. Also refer to WhateverGreen guides (boot-args, etc) for blacksreen workarround. Thanks. #EDIT: I just reboot w/o Custom EDID and I don't have blackscreen issue. Did you install WEG kext?
