I followed all the instructions from README.md but as soon I configure config file and restarts, it crashes while booting and doesn't boot

Hi,

I am trying to get Mac OSx Catalina up and running on my Acer A515-51G. Up till now all things seem to be working except the Wifi (I am going to get the Qualcom Atheros card get replaced by Broadcom one. DW1560) and the keyboard. I have tried to patch the VoodooPS2Controller.kext but no luck. However the touchpad is working fine along with multi-finger gesture support.
Is there any way to enable the keyboard anyway?

I used Niresh Catalina vanilla build to boot mac os. The keyboard and trackpad work but rest of the things don't work by default when i set the touchpad to basic in bios.But when I replace the whole clover file with yours keyboard and touchpad aren't working in basic as well as advanced also.

can you please tell me how did you got your touchpad to work i saw that we have the same exact touchpad but deffrent hardware i know it will not be the same but i want try what you did to get it to work i have followed a lot of guide but it did not worked can you help me please

Hello,
As you may know, higher (more than 1440x900) hidpi resolutions are not possible with DVMT < 64mb. To change DVMT preallocation as far as I know you need to have patched BIOS.

Did you know about that problem? This is not related to your files but rather to this laptop, and in general HiDPi display.

Anyone already found a fix for this?

I'm currently in the process of making an updated dsdt for my laptop and was wondering what did you do to the dsdt. The only patch I did was Audio layout 3; if anyone has suggestions that would be much appreciated.

The audio have a lot of noise.. i used eapd fix but not worked.. help?

Hello. I can't get 4k on my tv using hdmi cable. I get 1080p as max resolution.
How can i get 4k?

Hi,

the speakers aren't recognized in 50% of the boots. The problem seems completely random and a reboot mostly solves the problem but its annoying anyways. Is this a known problem?

Layout-Id is 3 and AppleALC is 1.4.4

There a problem, when you try to copy files into /usr/bin, system says that this is R/O file system, so before doing all stuff you need to add sudo mount -uw / command to make possible copying files.

I did set everything as explained - everything works fine but my keyboard is not at all anyone had this issue or have a hint?

When booting in -v I see that the backlight of keyboard turn off after a few sec

Quick question...will a usb wifi dongle work? or is it absolutely necessary to replace wifi card?

Hey, how do you set the keys to adjust the screen brightness on a laptop keyboard ?? Right now it's fn + f12 and fn + key pause. My bootloader is opencore. In my laptop acer v3-371, the shortcut from adjusting the screen brightness on the keyboard is the shortcut fn + left arrow key and fn + arrow right key.

As in title - using layout-id 3 and ALCPlugFix combojack microphone does not work. Any way to fix it?

After closing my Laptop and reopen it, the screen stays black. Sorry for the vague error description.

New repo is perfect, everything works fine, but keyboard didn't work after the use of this repo...

Some tips to make it work?

All Works ... But keyboard not.. :(

"The touchpad works After Installing VoodooPs2Controller.kext, After that Install ApplePS2SmartTouchpad.kext in order to recognise the touchpad as native one, And after that all gestures will work fine."
So just to clarify, do you use VoodooI2C or ApplePS2SmartTouchpad with touchpad set to basic in the BIOS, because in my case VoodooI2C seldomly crashes and causes kernel panic.

Hi,

is there a way to use the brightnes control keys: Fn + arrow lef/right?
I already tried with carabiner but with no success.

I made bootable macos usb drive and installed clover and copied your configs in clover folder through VM as I have no access to any Mac. It's stuck on this. Little help needed to boot into macos. If you can guide to correctly configure bootable usb for macos will be quite helpful, if I may be doing something wrong for some reason.

Keyboard not working, i have installed macOs Mojave, But keyboard not working.

I have a similar acer laptop and I managed 4002, 11999 on cpu and 29516 on gpu on windows 10, and on osx its around 5%-10% less consistantly.

Also I managed to install Open core 0.5.8 on this and everything seems to work brightness keys nvram boot audio, also no need oo sleep patch for audio, On your clover efi HEVC encode isn't working.

I'll share my EFI if you want.

Also thanks for the inspiration by making clover for this laptop.

Hi,
I have a aspire a515-52g and i used your package in my hackintosh, and everything went well, including the keyboard works, the problem happens a few moments after login, that the keyboard just stops working.

EDIT
I realized that it stops working after using the trackpad
