Dell Precision M4800 Workstation - Hackintosh

• OpenCore Version 0.7.9
• Monterey 12.3

it's tested based on M4800, however, it should be also applied to Dell Precision M6800 which hardware similar to M4800

Highlights:

• BIOS Configuration: MUST disable Secure Boot. For other options, it would be fine if just keep by default.

• only tested in Monterey, it removed nvidia drive natively due to known issue in Monterey. this EFI enables eGPU by default in OpenCore config.plist. You can follow post installation step to install nvidia drive if you intended to enable mxm graphic card.

• dual-GPU(Nvidia/Quadro) support (post installation):

  1. install Geforce-Kepler-patcher
  2. NOTE: You can install MonitorControl to control both internal and external monitor brightness.

• AppleALC.kext, VoodooPS2Controller.kext were customized for M4800. You could find the repo here: AppleALC and OS-X-ALPS-DRIVER.

• You can also find the user guide how I fixed the keyboard and sound card driver here. How to fix AppleALC for Dell Precision M4800 and how to fix keyboard/touchpad drive for Dell Precision M4800 (both in Chinese).

• AppleALC for Dell Precision M4800 support(layout-id 59) has been merged to acidanthera/AppleALC from release version 1.7.1. You would be able to update the driver from acidanthera/AppleALC going forward.

• ssdt was customzied based upon my hardware list. Probably you need to recompile based upon your own hardware configurations. if you have already cloned this repo in macOS, just simply modify SSDT-Dell-M4800.dsl in any text editor, and then save and run make all in terminal. or you can also compile it in Linux or Windows platform if you have correct iASL version.

• Wireless Driver:

  • this EFI is based upon Broadcom BCM4352. For Intel WIFI adapter, you may remove below 4 kexts from my EFI package instead of appropriate Intel driver

    AirportBrcmFixup.kext
    BlueToolFixup.kext
    BrcmFirmwareData.kext
    BrcmPatchRAM3.kext

    In the meanwhile, you can remove line 1392-1421 in dsl file SSDT-Dell-M4800.dsl, and then recompile to replace SSDT-Dell-M4800.aml (It's not mandatory)
