AJC Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 When I add a kext to the kext folder of the EFI will the system just automatically start using that kext or do I also have some how add it to the config.plist ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theroadw Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 you need to also add it to the config Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJC Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 found in the config that USB inject all kext was disabled, I reenabled it and the built in camera works ! BUT is turning on the usbinjectall kext going to mess with the thunderbolt stuff you did ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theroadw Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 not the thunderbolt stuff, but may cause other issues. you should google usb port mapping hackintool and follow the guide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJC Posted April 10, 2021 Author Share Posted April 10, 2021 Once I map the USB properly can I use this EFI to install Big Sur ? or is everything we did just for Catalina ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theroadw Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 It will probably work but I don't recommend it yet, still too many bugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJC Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 So I have an HP dock for this zbook, it connects on usb-c. Powers the laptop, had multiple USB ports, multiple video ports and a couple other things all running through the single usb-c cable going to the laptop. Everything seems to work well with the doc except the monitors. I have two monitors connected to the dock. In windows all three monitors show up in the monitor arrangement pane ( both monitors and laptop screen) and when I close the laptop lid it just shows the two monitors connected to the doc. NOW in the new mac set up when connected to the doc both monitors on the doc are mirrored and show up in the monitor arrangement pane and one. so when the lid is open the monitor arrangement pane shows two monitors ( the doc screens as one and the laptop screen) when the lid is closed the monitor arrangement pane just shows one monitor ( the doc screens mirrored as one) so the thunderbolt port seems to be working but for some reason it’s not picking up the fact that there’s two different displays attached to the doc. is there something I need to fix or can something I can do about that ? or is it fine and that’s just how OS X works. ?

theroadw Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Docks are a tricky area and every kind is different as far as what works and what doesn't. Try adding these values to see if you can get 2 ports routed to different screens, but I suspect the TB3/USBC port only get's one DV connection and windows drivers somehow have a way to change that.

AJC Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 I put that stuff in and it didn’t do anything. The doc is acting the same exact way. I guess yer right about the windows drivers and what not. Oh well no big deal. Is the stuff you just had me add going to affect anything els ? Since it didn’t work should I remove it ? Or does it not matter ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJC Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 ( funny thing is the hdmi works fine so I have dual monitors that way, which will work. But I was wondering, is there a way to disable the hdmi and send it through the thunderbolt port to give the doc the second monitor? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or does it not matter ? I don't think it matters either way, all I did was activate a 4th possible connector on the frame buffer, test both options with displays attached. 19 hours ago, AJC said: ( funny thing is the hdmi works fine so I have dual monitors that way, which will work.
