!!! DEPRECATED

This repo is no longer maintained cause my XPS 7590 was sold to others.

English/中文

OpenCore Version: 0.5.6

macOS Version: macOS Catalina 10.15.3(19D76) - 10.15.4(19E266)

• iGPU：working.
• Wireless Card(DW1560): WiFi&BT working.
• Audio：spkear & mic working.
• Camera：working.

• USB port： Type-A port x 2 (Max 5 Gbps) and Type-C port x 1 (Max 10 Gbps)
• Brightness Controll: wokring on Non-OLED Screen.
• Sleep/Wake: working on Non-OLED Screen.

1. OLED Brightness Control

   • Brightless Slider shown & Brightless shortcut work but OLED brightness never changed

2. OLED Sleep & Wake

   Seems like OLED brightness issues. not sure other screen is work or not.

   • Sleep is worked , but built-in screen will be black screen when wake.

3. HDMI hot-plug

   • Problem
     • Can't resume to single monitor mode when remove HDMI monitor, and virtual desktop in external monitor will be loss.
     • HDMI monitor will be black except mouse indicator when re-plug HDMI monitor.
   • Workaround
     1. Enable mirror mode in Preferences-Monitor-Arrangement before remove HDMI monitor to avoid virtual desktop loss in external monitor.
     2. Use built-in screen to toggle screen resolution in Preferences-Monitor after re-plug HDMI monitor. External screen will light soon.

4. SDCard Reader not working

5. Fingerprint not working.

If you use these device with my efi, feel free to let me know how it worked.
