Asus N580GD (Help me for install High Sierra)

[Graissechel]

Hi everyone,

First sorry for my english.

I have tried several times to install High Sierra on my PC but I have some complications. I tried to manage by looking on different forums to make it work but I couldn't configure everything properly.

Here are the details of the problems as well as my hardware configuration (and as an attachment my Clover EFI file).

First when I boot, the graphics are a little bit glitched (like when the graphics drivers are not installed). Then, some elements don't work (Wifi but that's normal since my wifi chip is an Intel, the touchpad, the Fn Keys Asus or the sound). However, when I boot on the Olarila High Sierra installation USB stick, the graphics bug does not appear.

Could someone help me with the configuration, please?

Here is my hardware configuration :

Processor: Intel Core i7-8750H (2.2Ghz 6 Cores)

Motherboard : Asus X580GD (with HM370 chipset)

Graphics Processor: Intel UHD Graphics 630

RAM: 16GB

Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 4GB

Wifi: Intel Wireless AC 9560 + Bluetooth (Bluetooth works natively but I can't disable it, it's still enabled)

Ethernet: I didn't have to install a kext, I think it could be supported natively

SD Card Reader: Realtek USB 2.0 Card Reader

Headphone/microphone jack (combo)

Fingerprint: ELAN WBF Fingerprint Sensor

Touchpad: Asus Precision Touchpad

Webcam : Supported natively

Audio : Conexant (I'm not sure but Asus support delivers Conexant drivers for Windows so I guess that's what it is)

Storage : 1 SSD 512GB and 1 HDD 2TB

Battery : The battery indicator doesn't appear. When I boot on USB installation stick in safe mode, the indicator appears but always say 0%

I also have 1 USB 3.0, 2 USB 2.0, 1 USB type C and 1 HDMI port

I try to be as precise as possible in describing my configuration, I also put a link to the Asus website about my model :

Thank you in advance for your help.

Here is the link to my EFI folder : https://drive.google.com/open?id=14EJYzg-YPAlYpKBsRs_zHGsjPE1dn6x8

Here is the link to the archive after running RunMe.app : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1xFdGkNTERF8OvMnGEtyx1iJOvS2_WNKp

What should I do now with this archive ?

stay with one usb stick with macos if need

[Graissechel]

Thanks for the EFI file, my graphic problems and the battery display problem have disappeared. On the other hand, I do notice some problems:

The sound is not functional and the microphone is not working either on the speaker or by plugging into the jack. My touchpad and Fn Asus keys don't work (but I think that's normal for that). I also don't have the possibility to disable Bluetooth, it is permanently enabled and the "disable" box is grayed out. My SD card reader and HDMI outpout don't work too

How can these problems be solved ?

PS: I have a question for the Nvidia graphics card. Under Windows, it is only used when the PC is connected and when I have to perform heavy tasks (games, graphics rendering on video editing software, etc...). So is there a way to activate it for heavy tasks or is it impossible ?

Thank you.

I forgot to mention it, but I think there's a lot of battery drain.

[ref]Graissechel[/ref], ur audio is Conexant, u need check it

run ion terminal

sudo kextcache -i /

 

put ur trackpad in advanced mode in bios/uefi

and extract new send_me

[Graissechel]

I have executed the command you gave me and the terminal sends me "Kext with invalid signatured", it does it for the following kext:

- FakePCIID.kext

- FakePCIID_Intel_HD_Graphics.kext

- AsusNBFnKeys.kext

- AppleIntelKBLGraphics.kext

- AppleIntelKBLGraphicsFramebuffer.kext

For the sound I've found the correct layout ID = 21 (Conexant CX8150)

For my touchpad, it is well activated in my BIOS and it works on the Clover boot page but not once it is booted on macOS. However, I don't have an advanced mode for the touchpad in the BIOS, I can iniquement enable or disable it.

I've still the same problem with Bluetooth : always activated, even if I ask to Siri to disable it, Bluetooth won't be disabled. I think it can have an impact on battery drain.

MaLd0n,

I read on GitHub that in some cases for touchpad compatibility, you have to use a Windows 10 DSDT patch. Is it possible to make it functional using this method ?

Your touchpad is Elan1300 and that guide is correct as you already had voodooI2C + voodooI2cHID kexts installed.

Are you sure my touchpad is an ELAN 1300 ? Because in the Windows driver provided by Asus, it is written ELAN SA47EI-12A4 which corresponds to ELAN 1201. After that it is possible that ELAN 1201 and 1300 will work in the same way but I don't know. So how do I make it work because even with the current kext (VoodooI2C + VoodooI2CHID), it doesn't work.

I also saw on the Olarila site, I saw thatKylergib had the same problem as me with the same touchpad model (ELAN 1201) and that his problem had been solved. Can you provide me with the same patch as him to see if it works, please ?

I looked at your IOREG before I give comment

Yes, that is unfortunate. If its not working in polling mode, interrupt mode wont work either.

Please visit voodooi2c gitter for an extra hand.

[Graissechel]

On the net I can't find any help I tried other methods again without success. I hope that this problem can and will be solved quickly because on a laptop it is quite disabling not to have a functional touchpad.
