High Sierra 10.13.5 @ Lenovo Thinkpad W540

[nysander]

I start this topic to make my Lenovo Thinkpad W540 usable with High Sierra

 

I followed many guides but this one started by @tluck made me most progress: 

My setup as in signature

 

I will update first post with statuses of working features:

 

Graphics:

Nvidia Quadro - disabled

Intel HD 4600 - working @ 1920x1080 and 1,5GB RAM (had to set ig-plaform-id as Haswell desktop, mobile do not work)
using intelGraphicsFixUp.kext

 

Sound:
internal speakers and mic works with AppleACL.kext and profile 28

USB:
i boot MacOS from USB drive and it works, mouse and pendrive also works
USB power not work yet, so USB WiFi dongle and iPhone connection not work (no power @ USB)

IOReq finds only USB 3.0 controller not USB 2.0 even though I have 2 ports USB 3.0 and 2 ports USB 2.0

 

 

Integrated Camera:

recognised in IOReq but not working now (probably due to USB)

 

Bluetooth:

as USB but works without problem

Ethernet:
works with intelMausiEthernet.kext

Keyboard:
internal is PS2 so VoodooPS2Controller.kext is needed - some mappings I would like to have different but works

Touchpad:

works with VoodooPS2Controller.kext from @tluck topic

 

Trackpoint:

One time works mostly not - debugging in progress

 

Batery Status:

not working

 

Integrated WiFi:

intel -  not working

 

Sleep / Hibernate:

not working

 

Backlight:

not working

 

Other found issues:

besides that graphics works @ 1920x1080 and have a lots of ram window shadows (especially dock shadow) looks bad

 

External VGA:

not tested yet

 

External Mini Display Port / Thunderbolt:

not tested yet

 

I will post my clover / debug config later

I have strange looking shadows:

my monitor color scheme is universal rgb but changing to sRGB do not change anything with shadow quality.
