How to Fix VoodooI2C Trackpad Issues on Hackintosh Laptops
Trackpads using the I2C protocol (typically ELAN, Synaptics, or FocalTech) often fail to load under macOS Sonoma/Sequoia due to incorrect loading order or missing ACPI patches.
Step-by-Step Resolution:
- Verify Kext Loading Order: Open your
config.plistand ensure thatVoodooI2C.kextis loaded before any satellite kexts likeVoodooI2CHID.kextorVoodooI2CElan.kext. - Apply SSDT-XOSI: Add
SSDT-XOSI.amlto your ACPI folder and enable the_OSI to XOSIpatch in your config to simulate Windows environment. - Check GPIO Pinning: If the trackpad still doesn't respond, you may need a custom
SSDT-GPIO.amlto enable APIC interrupts instead of polling mode.
Original Question: "No trackpad found"
No trackpad found
I put macOS monterey on my ThinkPad t470s, intel i5-6300u, intel hd graphics-520 1536mb, 8gb ddr4 ram.
basically everything works but there are some glitches with the mouse pointer being incorrect many times and few more visual inconsistencies. Theres also overheating for mundane tasks like 1-2 browser tabs although it hasn't shut down yet. I haven't checked cpu metrics yet but was planning to undervolt (lmk if this is advisable).
Now for the main problem, my trackpad which is a synaptics one, doesn't work properly and isn't recognised in system settings at all.
I tried the i2c kexts and they don't work at all (both hid and smbus)
then I tried voodoormi, which worked well enough with all gestures but was glitchy, had latency and was still not recognised in settings.
then I tried the ps2 one (which shouldn't even work?) and it gave the best responsiveness with basic gesture support (two finger scroll) but no macos gestures.
I want to know if the settings will always say not found even with all correct configuration or if this can be fixed.
PS- SYNA2398 is the model of trackpad
If any more info is needed pls lmk, this is my first hackintosh.
