Still the same thing, no functional touchpad.

Sorry, but it still doesn't work.

Sorry for the delay I did a complete formatting to see if the problem was solved but still not. I replaced the old DSDT.aml file by your DSDT.aml file but nothing makes it my touchpad is still not working :

Here is the link to SendMe : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ghLipq-he2QewgQbBLBVHH_EzsgCcWYw

I agree to conduct various tests.

Should I upgrade to macOS Mojave or Catalina ? I have seen some forums on the net that some compatibility issues can be fixed by upgrading.

No problem. Its good that you did a reformat. At least, I know we are working on a clean system and we will stick with the stable Mojave for now as Catalina do not have official support from VoodooI2C as of now.

Touchpad still does not work. In addition, my battery has gone from 19% to 0% by restarting.

I haven't switched to Mojave yet, I'm still on High Sierra but if the problems can be solved by upgrading, is it wise to upgrade my system to this version ?

[onemanosx]

[ref]Graissechel[/ref], I am hoping to see some kernel changes with this one. Hopefully, there is..

And if your machine is compatible, an upgrade to Mojave will be a good idea, too!

[Graissechel]

Touchpad still not working. I think my system should be Mojave compatible. I read on various forums that the Intel UHD 630 graphics processor was supported natively so a priori there should not be any problems except for some modifications in Clover's config.plist.

Yes, it is supported. Just make sure you are updated with latest clover and kexts.

It still hasn't worked. I will try to install Mojave and see if there is a way to fix the problem.

[onemanosx]

[ref]Graissechel[/ref], Try this.

If still doesnt work, this is what you'll need to do.

1. Open DSDT with macIASL app

2. Find Device (ETPD) as shown in the screenshot

3. Replace Gpi0Int 0x004A with these values. Reboot for each changes and see if there are changes in ioreg

a) 0x0057

b) 0x00B2

c)0x00CA

d)0x00D7

e)0x00F7

https://imgur.com/f7sa3Tv

Just upload me sendme for 0x0057 only. And test the rest of the values.

Ioreg should show something like this for your ETPD device.

DSDT-4A.aml.zip

[Graissechel]

Does not work with 0x0057.

With the 0x0057 I don't have the same thing as you in the .ioreg file (I don't have a drop-down menu for ETPD).

I'll test the other values, I'll keep you informed.

Here is the link to SendMe : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1u8Ct5Kaf4mGMieYXsu_aJTJkaANnhkDK

Sorry, but none of the values work. I saved well and rebooted but nothing works.

[onemanosx]

[ref]Graissechel[/ref], I had done the best to my knowledge. Looks like they are responding to you at Gitter. Let me know how things works out with their assistance.

PS: You might want to replace the outdated emilydinesh's AsusFNKeys kext with this : https://github.com/hieplpvip/AsusSMC

[Graissechel]

Indeed, it is a rather complicated problem. I will try to install Mojave in a clean installation. On the other hand, for the AsusSMC, I just saw on GitHub that a DSDT patch was needed. Is the one I own okay to install this kext or not ?

Instructions are very clear https://github.com/hieplpvip/AsusSMC/wiki/Installation-Instruction

[Graissechel]

I tried to upgrade my PC to Mojave without success. It's okay, I came back on High Sierra. I managed to fix the Fn Keys problem (and at the same time the keyboard backlighting), thanks you onemanosx for providing me with the link to AsusSMC.

I now have to solve the other problems so that everything can be operational, namely:

- The touchpad

- The SD card reader

- The HDMI port

- iMessage and FaceTime

- Sleep

- Airplane mode ? (I don't know if it's possible)

And possibly Bluetooth if possible.

I know that I couldn't activate my Nvidia card because it acts here as a dGPU and this feature is not supported. It doesn't matter, I'll do a dual-boot on Windows.

[onemanosx]

[ref]Graissechel[/ref], One last try from me. Hopefully this works.

 

DSDT-Graissechel.aml.zip

 

Bluetooth and wifi only works with Native Apple cards. You need to replace it.

HDMI port, you may use hackintool app. https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/335018-hackintool-v269/

iMessage and Facetime need to use real Apple SMBIOS to work.

Sleep? Mald0n may help with that issue

[Graissechel]

Not yet, my touchpad doesn't work. On Windows 10, however, there is no problem.

I thought I had found the culprit. From what I understand from the screenshot, it seems that the kext com.alexandred.VoodooI2CHID can't load due to an error. I think that this error could be the cause of the problem.

(I just posted this same message on the VoodooI2C page on gitter to see if the community has already faced the same problem)

Link to the screenshot : https://imgur.com/34PpCAn

[onemanosx]

[ref]Graissechel[/ref], that screenshot shows problem in kext loading. This issue was not seen before this. I know you followed instructions at gitter and this happened.

I put the kext VoodooI2C and VoodooI2CHID in /Library/Extensions. I no longer have the problem of "kext failed to load". On the other hand my touchpad is still not functional and I have this in the kernel log :

Lets wait for Ben to assist you in troubleshooting. Kernel logs you posted are no different from our previous efforts (except for SSCN/FMCN error which we had managed to resolve).

I'd be interested how the problem will be solved. Especially with "initializing community.." which I have figured has something to do with newer versions of GPIO pinning method.

Ok I'll try to solve this problem on gitter, I'll post the solution here when it's found.

In the meantime we can try to solve the other problems.

For the HDMI port, it is connected to my Nvidia graphics card so it will not work. However I have an alternative to this problem, I have a USB C to VGA converter and it works very well, the display is perfectly fine so no problems at this level, my USB C port is fine.

For iMessage and FaceTime, I had tried to make them work before reinstalling macOS and I got this error code each time:

"Your Apple id "xxx@xxx.com" can't be used to set up iMessage at this time"

However, in Clover, my SMBIOS does send me an invalid serial number, which is necessary to avoid conflicts with existing devices. So I don't really know how to solve this.

For the sleep problem, when I click on the button to sleep in the Apple menu, my PC puts a black screen on me and then goes into sleep. However, it turns on again immediately after I have touched nothing. To restore the display, I have to press the Space bar to turn the screen back on.

For the SD player problem I don't know where it comes from either.

[onemanosx]

iMessage and FaceTime

For this to work, having a valid serial from an actual mac is the easiest. Then again, I only got this to work temporarily once. Now dont work anymore.

 

sleep problem

Need to check in Console for "Wake Reason". Possibly a filled USB or Ethernet is a common issue as far as I know. Yours could be different. So yeah, check from console.

BTW, if you have a bootable USB and would like to help me further "probe" the I2C issue, can you boot using these files? Block DSDT and just use the SSDT. Thanks in advance.
