It works now. The SetIntelBacklight key was #-out in the config. Didn't need that key with older Clover.

thanks. seems your laptop has almost same max value like ivy framebuffer 0x710.
there is 0x710 in framebuffer and _UID 14 and match AppleBacklight backlight Level(0%~100%) in ivy realmac.
long time ago, ex. like Dr.Hurt case, he has brightness issue between at boot and after wakeup. so we need to match LEVX and framebuffer backlight max value.

if you don't have AppleBacklightinjector, it doen't matter _UID 10 or 14.

Is there a way we can make clover detect between FakeSMC.kext and VirtualSMC.kext and if VirtualSMC.kext is found/detected the installer will not keep selecting SMCHelper.efi? (Not needed for VirtualSMC.kext i believe (well i'm not using it without any issues)).

And then obviously if FakeSMC.kext is detected/found then select SMCHelper.efi, if it's ever required by FakeSMC.kext that is.

A small update to support MP51 (from Mojave 10.14.0 installer). But I can't say if there is a newer ver just like for other models have September dates (ex. 180917) 

Look at 10.14.1 builds if you can, plz

BiosVersion:      MP51.88Z.F000.B00.1807300628

I don't have AppleBacklightinjector. Is it needed as we set backlight from Clover?

[Sherlocks]

not at all. most of laptop with only single iGPU has lower brightness(i remember it start since sandy bridge HD 3000). so we use PNLF SSDT to match framebuffer brightness max value. if someone has lower brightness, we have to set intelmaxbacklight in clover or use PNLF SSDT.

your system has similiar brightness of framebuffer. seems you don't need setintelmaxbacklight. but if you want to accurately match brightness with framebuffer on your system, you can use.

 

AppleBacklightInjector just need exact brightness lengh(0~100%) when decrease brightness or increase brightness. you can see data in AppleBacklight's info file

 

backlight lower issue

- PNLF or SetIntelBacklight with IntelMaxBacklight.

 

AppleBacklightInjector

- want or not.

if want, get more exact backlight length.

 

 

sorry for my bad english.

#Question: If we have two Backlight values on NVRAM, which one will be used by System?

Anyway, with NVDA discrete graphics I use "AsusACPIBackLightPanel" 3rd party kext. Thanks.

i first see your case. did you set 0xFFFF in config?
then you use AsusBacklight kext? what is your kext?

Apple released 10.14.1 DP3 and 140.0.0.0.0 Mac Pro BootROM.

• NVMe EFI module added and it's different than the one from MP61,
• PCIe drives still recognised as external,
• Same 29 & 31 microcodes from May,
• No boot screens for UEFI cards.

Apple released 10.14.1 DP1 and 139.0.0.0.0 Mac Pro BootROM.

• No boot screens for UEFI cards,
• no NVMe EFI module added,
• no FileVault2,
• same microcodes,
• still safe to insert the NVMe EFI module.

is FSInject-64 not mandatory anymore for UEFI? Its already installed on my system but when I update to new clover its show uncheck. I tried to install with check its installing but in every new update normally clover choosing efi's automatically but FSInject-64 always show uncheck. it is some kind of bug or it's not mandatory anymore and Clover toggle off automatically for us each new update?

That means that you uncheck it once, maybe by cases. If you want to start with fresh preferences delete /Library/Preferences/com.projectosx.clover.installer.plist
