If you read that post, you’ll see that kar1 appears to needs KMDF from Windows 8.1 backported to Windows 7 to make my Intel Serial IO A368/A369 work under 7. This already works under 8.1 with no mods needed except to a Skylake Serial IO driver inf. On Windows 7, it has become more complicated and after days of back and forth with kar1, come to the conclusion that KMDF 1.13 is needed on Windows 7. So, my question is, can this be backported to 7? kar1 has said this has been done before when people backported KMDF 1.11 from 8.0 to XP (it was also released to Vista and 7 as an update), so I’d think backporting 1.13 from 8.1 to 7 wouldn’t be impossible. Any help on this is greatly appreciated!
ACPI/INT3450 is the HID-Event filter driver. We got that working via a modded DSDT table, but, the Serial IO drivers (A368 and A369) still did not work. This thread is kind of pointless now as I no longer have that laptop. I should note that on my Acer Nitro 5 with 8th Gen intel, and does not require a modded ACPI to get 7 working, the same Serial IO drivers still do not work. Luckily, I can flip into PS/2 touchpad mode on this one.
Dummy ones did, but modded Skylake drivers (to include the A368 and A369 devices), do not and throw either Code 31 with no modded DSDT loaded or Code 37 if a modded DSDT is used (and Code 37 is what I also got when I tried Windows 8.0 (6.2)). These same modded Skylake drivers work wonderful under 8.1, except for the fact the touchpad stops working after you wake it up from sleep, but, this can be fixed by just simply disabling and reenabling HID compliant touch pad within the Device Manager. This thread is moot as that laptop is broken. The Nitro 5 with these same exact Serial IO configuration also has PS/2 touchpad mode, so if I do run 7, I can just flip into that instead, and have full touchpad.
