Although most things work correctly, there are some others that I have not yet been able to solve. For example, although the trackpad works, I cannot access the advanced gesture options. Also, I can't adjust the brightness of the built-in screen, and airdrops don't work either. Surely there are several things that I haven't tested yet, but I have managed to build a completely functional hack.

I appreciate any kind of suggestions or help on solving the trackpad gestures and brightness! And also feel free to ask any question
