boicraig Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) I was able to get a vanilla install of Catalina 10.15.3 mostly working on an Optiplex 3050 Micro. Having a few problems I'm hoping someone can help with. Barebones copy of my EFI/Clover folder attached. I also believe my SSDT is good - I clobbered together what I could make work. My biggest issue is graphics acceleration works but only the displayport connector is working. I can't figure out how to get HDMI working so I can have dual displays. Sound works but the internal speaker doesn't - although it says it's selected - I have to plug in a pair of speakers at the moment. The display can sleep but if the computer sleeps it doesn't wake back up. I have to fully power cycle it. My wireless card isn't working although I thought it was supported with the BrcmPatchRAM3.kext I'm using. Specs: Optiplex 3050 Micro i5-6500T on B250 Chipset UHD 530 Graphics Dell Wireless 1830 wifi/bluetooth Samsung 960 nVME 512GB Boot 32GB DDR4 (2x16) EFI.zip Forgive me I have been out of the scene for 10 years or so now, my last build was another Optiplex back on 10.4 - 10.6 days! (check my post history) Glad to see the community thriving!! I'm relearning so much.
