Hey guys, I have encountered a strange question. It is my used dell monitor P2418D, which is bought from another guy. It is a 2k(2560x1440) monitor. This monitor can only work 5 seconds after I connect it to my laptop. I will give more information about my situation.

  1. some information.
  • Configuration: OpenCore 0.7.5
  • Laptop: T450s with I5-5200U and HD5500, connect the monitor through dock station 40A2.
  • connect ways: Tried HDMI or DP.
  • Whatevergreen and Lilu is the latest version.

This is the config of device properties.image.thumb.png.c72385226b3eea66afa02f897d20e579.png

As you can see, it is not really black like do not plug in charge, it has the back lights.

  2. what I have tried

  • boot to windows, it is ok.
  • follow the guide of dortania to config the connector type.
  • tried change EFI from GitHub, do not work.
  • install Mojave, do not work.
  • enable HiDPI, do not work.

  3. Possibles

So, anyone can help me, thanks in advanced!!!
