Hi Jkbuha, sorry for a late reply. 1. By placing Trackpad.prefpane into Library/PreferencePanes folder in Monterey worked, haven't tested in ventura. I will let you know. 2. Sleep/Wake worked properly on A.12 Bios, I guess Timewalker75a published a modified custom A.19 Bios for XPS 17 L702x with A.12 Sleep/wake module, which was modified by you, timewalker and few others i guess. Since then Sleep/Wake works perfect even on A.19 Bios ( https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/293246-osx-on-dell-vostro-3450-inspiron-n4110-xps-l702x-uefi-clover/). 3. I am currently testing the new macOS Sonoma, even on this new macOS Power Management is perfect with Speed Stepping Works with C states & Turbo P states. Lowest cpu frequency is idling at 800mhz and with turbo its maximizes to 2900mhz as per my CPU core i7 2630QM. In order to attain power management though the bios is patched for MSR 0xE2 i am using OCLP's MacBookPro8,3 patched AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext, AppleIntelCPUPowerManagementClient.kext, CPUFriend.kext, CPUFriendDataProvider.kext & ASPP-Override.kext. 4. Here is the gihub link of my XPS 17 L702x EFI https://github.com/maheshkondraju/Dell-XPS-17-L702X-Hackintosh-Open-Core-Bootloader feel free to modify and optimize it further for XPS 15z cheers

updated first post with a new installation guide along with all files required for smooth running of macOS Ventura. cheers have a great day

Hi Thielis, well it should work with xps l502x as pretty much same hardware. 1. First did you flashed with XP 15 L502x modded bios for your system, if not you can find one here and flash the modded bios you can flash directly from windows desktop running the FLASH_the_modded_bios bat file https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/257950-guide-dell-xps-15-l502x-early-2011-snow-leopard-install-possibly-l702x-too/page/119/#comment-2013910 2. After successful bios installation, Go to Bios Advanced section Unlocked menus, enable UEFI (disabled by default). 3. find Core i5-2450M Sandy Bridge SSDT's for your system on the web. 4. you can download my open core V0.8.8 for l702x from my github link https://github.com/maheshkondraju/Dell-XPS-17-L702X-Hackintosh-Open-Core-Bootloader 5. Now replace my Core i7 SSDT's with your Core i5-2450M SSDT's in the opencore V0.8.8 ACPI folder. 6. mainly you need to replace 3 processor specific SSDT's they are SSDT-ApTst.aml, SSDT-CpuPm.aml & SSDT-PmRef.aml. 7. Give my DSDT.aml a try, if not working then replace it with your XPS 15 L502x DSDT.aml 8. Make sure you do these modifications in both SSD EFI & as well as USB EFI. 9. From here follow my guide you should successfully install mac os Ventura. cheers

Intel HD 3000 Graphics Acceleration has been enabled by Open Core Legacy Patcher team but with lots of menu bar & settings app glitches. Lets wait for a stable release, as this one is a nightly release.

Hi Gabriel, I guess i can help you out, as i have surface pro 4 with skylake and recently succesfully intsalled ventura by faking as kaby lake with graphics recognised as HD 620, HD 630, UHD 617 & UHD 630 ( you can play around with which ever graphics card which suits your desktop graphics by simply changing platform-id and SMBIOS should be 14.1, 14.2 or 14.3 or any desktop kaby lake SMBIOS. If you want to use SMBIOS 13.1, 13.2 & 13.3 then have to use -no_compat_check. Reason for your stop sign is you have to palce dsdt.aml in acpi, then only it goes forward. even i faced the same problem. Once after you generate SSDT-EC-USBX.aml then you can remove dsdt.aml hope this helps. Your EFI is no longer available for download. if you cant post it again, i can help you out. Problems Encountered: Youtube 4K video dropping frames ( i am guessing there is some problem with my Surface Pro 4, so it might not affect your system. cheers mate

Successfully installed macOS Ventura Beta 10 but without intel HD 3000 Graphics Acceleration, need to wait and see if Opencore Legacy Patcher team can do any wonders. cheers

All done updated first post with a new installation guide along with all files required for smooth running of macOS. cheers have a great day

macOS Monterey on Dell XPS 17 L702x Optimus will be released soon with a guide for installation, if you are an advanced user then checkout my work from scratch on Open Core at github https://github.com/maheshkondraju/Dell-XPS-17-L702X-Monterey-Hackintosh-Open-Core-Clover-Bootloader-Support

macos 12 installer booted but showing images of bluetooth mouse ? any help would be appreciated

updated first post with two new EFI Clover V5.1 r5131 & Clover V5.1 r5123.1. On Clover V5.1 r5131 Default Volume: Last Booted Volume not working, you have to manually select the volume and enter, whereas on Clover V5.1 r5123.1 is perfect it boots automatically Last Booted Volume.

Updated first post with a new DSDT with less heating & more performance as cpu throttle is better controlled now. cheers

This config was made by timewalker75a for DELL Vostro 3450, XPS 15 L702x & XPS 17 L702x from insanelymac way back in 2014, since then i am using it. Actually the problem is with DSDT, there are 2 DSDT with lot of patches & customization. Timerwalker75a DSDT from 2014: Everything works but heats a lot with performance issues as it throttles the cpu, at idle temps are around 59c to 61c. Timerwalker75a DSDT edited by Me: I edited DSDT using various DELL Laptops based on Intel Sandy Bridge DSDT as a refference. Finally i succeeded in eliminating heating problem now cpu idles at 49c, changed DSDT code of processor, C System states etc, but resulted in 3 new problems Restart problem ( it actually shutdown the Laptop), It remains brighter at its lowest point when compared to old DSDT & sleep problem. i tried compiling the DSDT code using QtiASL but resulted in lot of error's, i changed scope & everything still results in errors. So if you can help me i would really appreciated it. here is the 2 DSDT's link https://mega.nz/folder/84lnnK5I#hbS5x-fCLeNRD1et4zgwcw

Hi Mald0n, I have a near to perfect DSDT for my Dell XPS 17 L702x Intel Sandy Bridge Laptop, just have 3 problems. which i am trying to fix with patches available but i am unsuccessful in compiling the DSDT.dsl, it would be great if you can help me out fixing these problems in my DSDT. 1.
