Kaby Lake R issues
Currently in the install guide, we assume that Kaby Lake R should be thrown into the 7th generation configs, however this is not ideal as the CPU itself is much closer to a Coffee Lake system.
To resolve:
- Clarify Kaby lake R is actually Coffee Lake
- Add move Kaby Lake R DeviceProperties over to Coffee lake
Hey @khronokernel,
- Add move Kaby Lake R DeviceProperties over to Coffee lake
I fear it won't be that simple.
F.e. if you use Coffelake-GPU-props, the backlight will stop to work as the CFL-backlight-patches do not apply.
Additionally KabyLake allows to spoof the system to Skylake, which is the only known fix for some bad color banding (https://github.com/acidanthera/bugtracker/issues/1159) experienced in certain iGPU/Display-combinations. This could be fixed in WEG though.
If you have any more infos or ideas, I'll be glad to hear them, as especially the GPU-config on KabyLake-R is a big PITA.
F.e. if you use Coffelake-GPU-props, the backlight will stop to work as the CFL-backlight-patches do not apply.
I had that exact problem when I was setting up my Hackintosh (with an i7-8550U). Maybe Kaby Lake-R should be in its own section instead @khronokernel, because it won't fit into the Coffee Lake one.
