ThinkPadx230Mojave

Fully working Clover EFI setup for Mojave on the ThinkPad x230

What's working

  • WiFi (with swapped card)
  • Bluetooth
  • Native power management
  • Battery status
  • Brightness control
  • Audio
  • Ethernet
  • iMessage and FaceTime
  • Laptop sleep/idle

Any bugs

  • VGA since no real Mac's have it
  • Clover may not boot straight away

Setup

Setup is easy, just replace the stock EFI folder with this one

My specs

  • i5 3320M
  • 8GB of RAM
  • 320GB HDD
  • "Lenovo" Atheros AR9285

WiFi Card swap

This card does not require you to flash your BIOS.

Trackpoint workaround

For scrolling with the middle button on the trackpoint you can use smart scroll for macOS.

Basic trackpad gestures

To enable 2 finger scrolling gestures and some others you can use the ApplePS2SmartTouchPad kext.
