hectorox Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Hi Guys, I am totally frustrated. My Custom EDID is not being injected. For two days I have tried a lot of things and everything ended up without injecting the custom edid. I tried it through clover (CustomEDID section, Device/Properties Section), DSDT patching (adding EDID information in DSDT Section)... I am using newest clover bootloader (r5111) in legacy mode with catalina. My Internal Display is not recognized correctly, thats why I need to inject my customEDID values (It is recognized as an External Display) Can somebody help me? I will attach some necessary files config.plist DSDT.aml hectorox’s MacBook Pro.ioreg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hectorox Posted April 15, 2020 Author Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) Hi Hervé, Thanks for your suggestions. I actually tried a lot of different smbios configurations always with the same result. I switched then to the MacBookAir5,1 Smbios configuration, because my customedid is patched to trigger the internal lcd panel of that device, that´s why I thought maybe it would be better to switch to that smbios. I did not use any kind of patcher, I made everything so far manually as much as I could. The only thing I needed was to allow SSE4.1 CPUs to boot correctly for catalina, as catalina does not allow these cpus anymore (minimum SSE4.2). I also had nvidia GPU injected manually to DSDT, but it was the same result, so I switched back to let clover to the work again. QE/CI is working fine with my actual setup, the GTX 260m is also recognized correctly. I think the main problem is that the installed lcd panel is not supported by mac, that´s probably why it is recognized as an external monitor. There is actually a good tutorial about this here in insanelymac https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/290130-fixedid-v232-application-to-generate-overrides-automatically-for-apple-displays/, but without customedid working I dont think this can be fixed. As I do not have any more ideas I will try with one of your smbios suggestions and will take a look into your guide Edited April 15, 2020 by hectorox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
