Touchscreen not working at installer stage

[GoodestUsername]

MBXP 2018.

Downloaded the efi and set up the com.apple.recovery.boot folder for the installer.
Booted to the recovery menu.

As expected from the install guide, touchpad isn't working, but neither is the touchscreen.
A secondary USB mouse isn't working either.

Hmmm.. okay this is werid. Try downgrading to previous version @GoodestUsername, should resolve this bug. Seen it a few times

Not working with release 18 either.
Looked through the past issues and tried disabling SSDT-DTPD.aml, didn't work either.

Have you tried this one? Should be one of the more stable ones @GoodestUsername

Which ones this one?
Don't see a mention of versions in the comment.
I tried 18.1 and 18 so far.
EDIT: Bios version 1.28

@GoodestUsername here you go, didn't attach from the email lol. Version 1.2.1 (sorry the naming is a little random so i had to check)

if this doesn't work, we will create custom.

Still not working.
Tried updating bios to 1.37 and then using this version again and touchscreen is still unresponsive.

No, the usb mouse I tried didn't work either.
The built in keyboard worked for language select prompt. But I haven't gotten past the select screen into install screen.

[GoodestUsername]

You mentioned something about the touchscreen should work because of "the way the installer handles Kext loading but because the touchscreen is being loaded via usb and the keyboard in a different method" in the install guide. Can you elaborate a bit more?
I also wanna work on this if your busy.

Thank you!

Hey @GoodestUsername! I just have a few exams coming up right now but I’m pretty sure this issue has axtually been resolved within some the previous issues marked as closed. In a few days though, I’ll be free to work on it. Basically, the installer is a lot more closed from macos so it’s harder to load in kernel extensions from an outside source not built into the installer.

Seems like issue #38 had the same issue. Unfortunately that was closed without a follow up on how to solve it. :(

[tlefko]

@GoodestUsername hey, I believe it is because he resolved the issue. Would you mind sending me your machine specs and the current EFI folder you tried so I can modify it?

don’t worry, we will figure it out :)
