So for haswell it's the same SSDT but without USBX?

Correct,,

To override value of AppleBusPowerControll of Broadwell and below you can edit manually those kext or use kext injection plist. (Just do this if you got problem about "Insufficient power Notifications" when plug USB Device)

Hi,

could someone please upload their,  "com.apple.preference.trackpad.plist" from the 

~/Library/Preferences/  folder from Catalina beta 5.

 

 

Thanks

I've had a stable Skylake desktop for years now, running Sierra, High Sierra, Mojave, and most recently the Catalina Betas.  I never had issues upgrading through Catalina Beta 1-4, but Beta 5 is giving the below error as encountered by several others:

 

apfs_module_start:1682: load: com.apple.filesystem.apfs, v1412.0.6, apfs-1412.0.6.151.2, 20/07/26

 

I'm sorry I'm having a hard time understanding the previous posts on how to get around this error.  Do I just need the SSDT-ECUSBX.aml to get around this, or something more?  What is it about Beta 5 that has caused this problem, yet not with the previous Betas?

u need a device ec, u can use rename, dsdt edited or ssdt to inject it

 

previous version don't have this problems, but this patch is mandatory for correct usb properties

Is it enough to just drop the SSDT-ECUSBX.aml into /EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched?  Or do I need to apply EC0 to EC?

I don't have one.  Did you ever have one?

No I don't, and not even earlier, actually was looking if any one else has it on to compare to get my dragging function on trackpad going.

 

If possible take look at my post here

https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/339567-tap-and-hold-to-drag-function-in-trackapd-not-working/

 

Have been fiddling around with all sorts of voodoops2kexts, but can't seem to get dragging going.

Its either dragging, but then I lose double tap to right click and two finger scroll.

You seem to have experience with HP laptops so,

Any help would be great

Thanks.

I have also been having problems with trackpad function on Catalina betas.  Dragging works for me but the sensitivity is way too high.  When I two-finger scroll, it constantly responds as if I had done a two-finger tap (treats it like a right-click on a mouse). I suspect that this is due to the hardware quality disparity between the Mac trackpad and my Synaptics Clickpad.  What hardware do you have?  

 

BTW, I tried using the attached kext and it was better in some ways but worse in others.  I lost tapping in some but not all places and it was just too confusing.  See if it works for you.

 

ApplePS2SmartTouchPad.kext.zip

 

Lastly, dragging is enabled in Accessibility->Mouse & Trackpad->Trackpad Options.  It might be that easy.

I have the Accessibility->Mouse & Trackpad->Trackpad Options< enabled, still no dragging.

The preference panes are all working and allow for choosing the options.But  result is not effected.

 

I am using rehabmans voodoops2 and everything apart from dragging works and quiet nicely, Synaptics touchpad here with two physical click buttons.

 

So its definitely due to Catalina and how it communicates with hardware. 

 

I have used this kext also, ApplePS2SmartTouchPad.kext.zip is quiet old and not updated, but using this the trackpad becomes very fidgety with multiple responses with minimal touch. very off-putting and non productive,

You could try acidenteras voodoops2 as your laptop is newer. It requires some ssd edits and compilation from sources that frankly I am not familiar with.

 

Hope this gets sorted on its own with final release but I was hoping it would be corrected with this beta so a bit disappointed.

I have installed successfully but one issue I am facing when I press CapsLock key, keyboard freeze, than disconnect and reconnect keyboard and working again

[Weev]

Tried to update to beta 5 but I'm having a kernel panic sadly.

Hitting a few errors before the panic aswell :

AppleMUController::smcReadKey Error: received error 0x04 when reading key 'MSLD'

Getting the same error for keys ALRV and ALV0 as well.

Panic says :

Unsupported GraphicsSchedulerSelect=2\n"0skl/IntelAcelerator.cpp:2070

I am using this EFI : https://github.com/daliansky/XiaoMi-Pro-Hackintosh

 

I believe it's using fairly recent versions of Clover, WhateverGreen and Lilu.

 

I tried using OpenCore instead of Clover here with the same config (OC config is on the same repo) but I couldn't make it verbose, and it seems to kernel panic too.

I can get into single user mode though.

It’s a known problem. Don’t press caplock or if you’re like me configure caplock to do nothing.

Works on my end, anyways: settings and preferences->keyboard->modifier keys. For Capslock set its action to something among the lines of "no task".

However, this doesn't seem to be necessary for DP5.

I can confirm capslock doesn’t appear to be an issue with the latest build anymore.

True, same behavior here. But hey, fixing a crash by just taking out the functionality still is a fix right?

I must’ve been asleep. You are quite right. Capslock doesn’t freeze keyboard but doesn’t affect the case of letter typed  Still I can’t remember the last time I used Capslock

I have everything working great. My question is: what needs to be done in order to get the new AppleTV to play movies? My smbios is  MacBookPro14,1 (board-id:Mac-B4831CEBD52A0C4C). Does DRM video content work through whatevergreen on Catalina?

It used to be that you could play media by using 32bit iTunes. But these days I think the only way is to download the content first. I just get a blank screen if I try to stream. sorry.

Has anyone had success with VegaGraphicsFixup? WhateverGreen doesn't work with dual DisplayPort connections like the LG 5K display requires.

Do you know if WAhteverGreen now has support for RX 580/Vega and the LG 5k? I'm looking into building a Z390 Mobo with a Titan Ridge + LG Ultrafine 5k
