Cursor doesn't work; Very dark screen; No internet connection #23

Closed Krzysztof-Dziardziel closed 3 years ago

Krzysztof-Dziardziel commented 3 years ago

Three issues:

On boot, after half of the loading bar passes, the screen is VERY dark (almost impossible to see anything).
Neither touchpad nor a USB mouse connected via WD19TB or USB-A adapter works, but I'm able to navigate the menu via keyboard.
(Most importantly) There's no internet connection from WD19TB and I'm not able to set up WiFi because of the cursor issue. I'm unable to continue the installation without internet.

For USB creation I'm using: `

Catalina(10.15)

python ./macrecovery.py -b Mac-00BE6ED71E35EB86 -m 00000000000000000 download `

Has anybody found a fix for any of the mentioned issues?

Krzysztof-Dziardziel commented 3 years ago

For ones that were having same issues:

Very dark screen fix: Wait LONGER (up to 10 mins). Only laptop screen is so dim. If you plug the external display it's normal.
Same thing with touchpad/mouse - you need to wait REALLY long.
Wifi also works after waiting few more minutes after the display stops being dim.

I have the same GPU. I will try your solution :) Should I do a clean install or can I just boot into system upgrade with your kexts?
