After a silence in releases spanning over a year, a new EFI release is now available! This release includes numerous fixes and features compared to the previous release. After three years of effort, backlight control is now successfully fixed on NVIDIA cards. Moreover, one of the previously 'broken' USB 2.0 ports now works properly. Additionally, audio from the docking station has been resolved and is working quite well. The battery readout, which was somewhat problematic with ECEnabler, has been largely rectified by transitioning to an SSDT patched solution. Furthermore, support for fan readout has been added. Lastly, FileVault 2 support has now been enabled as well.
I hope that the project is finished and that the 8x70 can be used as a daily driver. It was a long, fun and frustrating ride. This project will be updated if anything significant changes.
