Hardware Support — macOS Sequoia 15.8.2¶
Statuses use: Working (verified on the laptop) · Partial · Not working (confirmed) · Untested (no reliable verification).
Verified on macOS Sequoia 15.8.2 (build 24H232).
| Feature | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Intel UHD 630 acceleration | Working | Metal 3, framebuffer 0x3EA50009 |
| Internal display (LGD053F 1080p) | Working | requires -igfxblr (see display backlight) |
| Brightness — slider | Working | AppleBacklight binds to LCD_ |
| Brightness — keys (F11/F12) | Not working | trade-off of -igfxblr; see display backlight and known issues |
| Keyboard (PS/2) | Working | VoodooPS2Controller |
| Volume keys | Working | VoodooPS2 ADB codes |
| Touchpad (I2C HID) | Working | VoodooI2C + VoodooI2CHID — gestures and scrolling work; tested but less exhaustively than Sonoma, and the pointer feels slightly less fluid |
| Audio (ALC236, layout 15) | Working | AppleALC |
| Microphone | Working | captures audio at high input volume — measured on 15.8.2: −38.9 dBFS RMS at 100 % vs −69.1 dBFS at the default gain, sound source beside the machine; setup steps in the Sonoma hardware support |
| Wi-Fi (Intel AC 9462) | Working | AirportItlwm 2.4.0 (Sequoia build) |
| Bluetooth (Intel) | Working | requires the USB map — see known issues |
| Ethernet (RTL8111) | Working | RealtekRTL8111 |
| Battery reporting | Partial | SMCBatteryManager present; not independently verified |
| USB ports | Working | UTBMap |
| Lid sleep / wake | Working | tested with a 14 min lid sleep: Clamshell Sleep → PBTN/UserActivity, display awake 1.4 s after wake. Backlight returned at 52316/65535 against 65403 before sleep in that cycle — not yet reproduced. Overnight sleep and hibernation not tested |
| HDMI output | Not working | HDMI is wired to the NVIDIA dGPU, which is disabled; verified — connecting a TV detects no external display |
| Webcam (incl. activity LED) | Working | native UVC, no kext — video works and the activity LED lights on 15.8.2; microphone capture, FaceTime/conferencing and other resolutions not tested |
| SD reader (Realtek RTS, PCIe) | Working | physically verified on 15.8.2 — 4 GB FAT32 card: detection, mount, file access, file copy; RealtekCardReader 0.9.7 |
| NVIDIA GTX 1050 | Not working | Pascal has no macOS driver; disabled |
Touchpad pointer feel is slightly less fluid than Sonoma on this hardware; the input pipeline is identical (verified: same driver binding, 125 Hz report rate), so the difference is Sequoia's compositor on UHD 630, not the trackpad.
