fair enough. I don't use sidecar on my desktop so I'm not missing out on anything anyways. I appreciate all of your help. I'm really impressed with how the system runs. I've been running gnome on multiple distros for years and I feel right at home on this hackintosh. once again I appreciate you shoulder surfing me. I'll be sending another donation your way.

I can confirm. everything is working as it was before. I haven't noticed anything different between IMacPro19,1 vs MacPro1,1 I did noticed Traktor 3, Machine 2, Mashup, Mixed In Key "appeared" to load the audio spectrum a bit faster. but that could be placebo. I do get a bit of stuttering from time to time with my Bluetooth. but it's not a game breaker. it's very infrequent

could you explain a bit why MacPro1,1 is better and what do you mean by hardware acceleration, also what changes did you do please. also I ran this through OCAuxTools and got the following. OCS: No schema for EnableForAll at 0 index, context <Quirks>! OCS: No schema for EnableForAll at 6 index, context <Quirks>! OCS: No schema for ForceAquantiaEthernet at 10 index, context <Quirks>!

usb mapped successfully. doing this actually resolved a few issues I was experiencing; like mouse stuttering. obviously USB ports not working. and a more stable bluetooth/wifi.. I guess my next question is how do I fine tune the system now and remove unecesarry kexts / ssdts etc.. Thanks in Advance.

so I ended up just running another dp cable.. I suppose the last thing to do is to tweak the system and remove unused kexts etc.. and remap the usb. can anyone point me to a decent guide / video on how to remap usb and remove unused kexts and clean up my EFI so that it only has entries pertaining to my system. thanks a lot.

so doing a bit of research online I've read conflicting threads about if MST/daisy chained monitors via display port actually work in Mac OS. can anyone confirm if it's supported? if not I can always run another DP cable and get the other monitor working. but the setup would be a lot cleaner with one cable.

so great news.. bluetooth and wifi are now working.. im sure there are more issues I have yet to discover. but I think the most pressing issue is to be able to extend my monitors. currently both are driving off of a single DisplayPort using a daisy chain configuration and I can see the same screen mirrored on both monitors. however when I look at the displays window in system preferences only one shows up.

So after looking around last night. I don’t think my wifi/Bluetooth card in my msi z390m is compatible it’s an Intel® Wireless-AC 9560 https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/mpg-z390m-gaming-edge-ac/Specification I was also unable to get my 2nd monitor to show up. Even though both screens were mirrored. In macOS it would only show one on the display tab I will try again using the new kexts. Ty

so. csm is disabled. still no wifi/bluetooth.

so, I used the vanilla Monterey image and the coffee lake EFI I have a i9 9900 msi z390m motherboard sapphire rx 6600 xt I was able to get it installed and can boot to macOS desktop the issue im having is that the wifi/bluetooth is not being detected so I have no interwebs and I aslo have no multi monitor. I run a display port in a daisy chain configuration. thanks in advance
