How to setup trackpad on macOS Catalina (without DSDT)?

This mini-guide provides a structural approach to troubleshoot and fix the issue.

Prerequisites

  • Confirm your hardware specifications (CPU, GPU, Motherboard).
  • Ensure you have a bootable recovery USB and backup your EFI.

Fix Steps

  1. Check your ACPI patches (SSDTs) for battery and trackpad (e.g., VoodooI2C, SMCBatteryManager).
  2. Ensure you have applied the correct IRQ patches if audio or trackpad is missing.
  3. Perform an NVRAM reset after modifying SMC-related kexts.

Verification

  • Reboot and verify if the functionality is restored and stable under typical usage.

Original Question:

I've gotten keyboard working but trackpad still doesn't work, the trackpad is I2C and keyboard is PS/2.
