DSDT patch requests

calypso666 replied to oldnapalm's topic in DSDT & Patch Requests

Hello and good day. I have used Olarila Intel AMD Catalina build to install 10.15 on my HP Pavilion G4. The laptop has an i3-2120 and dual graphics AMD Seymour and Intel 2000 Series. Ive used the EFI file provided but KP happens. OS X will only boot if I use the usb installer and choosing my ssd. Ive noticed my screen brightness key is not working and also my wifi. Also my built in mouse can be used, but the buttons do not register any clicks. Thank you so much for your hard work.
