Things to consider - With no DSDT edits, using GraphicsEnabler=Yes, I get full video support with QE/CI; however, in About This Mac, not all of the correct information is displayed.

A few question:

1) Does relying on GraphicsEnabler=Yes for full video support result in any performance degradation? In other words, if it works, is that the best?

2) How do we get all the info to appear properly if we are using GraphicsEnabler?

3) Kind of similar to 1), but, is it better to get it working fully through DSDT, which is kind of what I'm thinking?

I don't think there are any performance degradation if you use either GraphicsEnabler=Yes or DSDT injection. I like DSDT injection more because I can inject a lot more information I want.

Sorry for late reply. I'll start working on your DSDT. Can you provide me your computer specification? Also I need your codec dump for audio. Thank you.

Hi Kizwan,

Great news, and always, very much appreciate your help!  

I think at this point I would like to first concentrate on the audio as the video is working but I have no sound at all (don't want to use VoodooHDA).

What is your recommended way for generating the codec dump?

Specs are as follows:

HP DV8t-1100 (VF836AV) laptop

CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-720QM 1.6GHz, 6MB, L2C
Memory: Installed: 4GB (2GB x 2GB) [Maximum: 8GB] Type/Speed: DDR3/1333MHz
Video: NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 230M GPU w/ 1024 MB
Sound: IDT 92HD75B3 Audio Controller
LAN: Realtek RTL8168D/8111D PCI-E Gigabit
Wi-Fi: Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200 (622ANHMW)

Thanks!

Mammoth

You can get it by using linux live CD, e.g. Fedora Live CD. Use this command in console to dump the codec dump:-

cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#1 > ~/Desktop/codec_dump.txt

Post the codec_dump.txt file here.

I noticed you use evoreboot.kext file. Do you have problem with restart/shutdown with this notebook? I already take a look in your FADT file & it shouldn't have problem with restart.

I'm in the process of cleaning up my DSDT, so I can use vanilla kexts. I've been trying to get AppleHPET to load, but haven't had any luck so far.

Now I've just realized that my BIOS/MB probably doesn't support HPET, as it is a D945GCZ ICH7 with a Pentium D.

Given my hardware, is the following HPET code what I should be using?

			Device (HPET)
			{
				Name (_HID, EisaId ("PNP0103"))
				Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate ()
				{
					IRQNoFlags ()
						{0}
					IRQNoFlags ()
						{8}
					Memory32Fixed (ReadOnly,
						0xFED00000,		 // Address Base
						0x00000400,		 // Address Length
						)
				})
				Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized)
				{
					If (HPEE)
					{
						Return (0x0F)
					}
					Else
					{
						Return (Zero)
					}
				}
			}

For anyone interested, I've attached my current DSDT, with all labels renamed to match Apple's, LPC device-id forced, SATA working, and other basic fixes. It has enabled me to boot OSX SL 10.6.4 with only Chameleon 2 RC4rev684, Nawcom legacy kernel, FakeSMC, NVenabler (for my 9500 GT) and VoodooHDA.

Unfortunately I haven't managed to get SLEEP working yet,  but that's my next goal after cleaning up the DSDT.

I just finished up following the below guide to install Snow Leopard on my HP Mini 1030NR:
http://www.mymacnetb...ompaq-mini-700/

I received errors while compiling my DSDT.DSL file.  I've attached the file in the hopes it will shed some light on the issues I'm having.  Let me know if I can provide anything else.  I really want to get this working!

- Sleep doesn't work (it falls asleep for a split second and then wakes back up)
- Restarting puts the netbook into a funky "Limbo" state
- The hard drive icon is not on the desktop (probably not a big deal)
- I can't verify whether QE/CI are enabled because the status does not show up under | About this Mac | More Info | Graphics/Displays |

I've downloaded this and wish to patch a file I've created using Everest Lavalys under Windows. The impression I get through reading the (somewhat sparse) instructions is that the program, if simply run from the GUI, will patch a pre-existing DSDT in the disk's root directory. The instructions say it's possible to point to a particular file to patch, but implies that's done if the program is run from a terminal session.  I've tried running the program that way, but I keep getting errors and the program won't run.

So, what's the proper syntax to run this thing?

Hi,

I can't compile my dsdt even without modifications (more then 200 errors). Found that FPED is a problem but I don't know what it is. There is FPED in MBP6.1's dsdt and couldn't compile it also. Would you like to help me?

How to know what to edit in dsdt file




Hi,

I would like to ask a question about dsdt editing
but, before that i have add my dsdt.dst and a picture of my hardware info and dsdt-edit compiler info.

i started the dsdt-editor, told it to extract my dsdt from bios or system
then compile it, no error, no warning, xx optimization.

Question1: How do you know what patch is needed?

i know we need:
DTGP - to make the patches work
HPET - to fix the slow sata
HDEF - to fix the sound


btw: link to file and pictures: http://www.mediafire...t1u99otnzysuele

@TheHarbinger,

You will need to run it in Terminal program like this:-

./DSDT \Patcher

The backward slash character appear because there is space in the tool filename. No need to worry about it.

After you enter above command, it will automatically extract DSDT from computer BIOS & it will try to compile it. Usually you will see error & warning messages. What you need to do is fix these error before you can get clean dsdt.aml file. You can find the information you need to fix your DSDT in this forum.

If you're going to compile a dsdt file you extracted using Everest, make sure you decompile it first since the file is in binary format (compiled version). To do so, you will need to use Terminal program. Put your DSDT file in the DSDT Patcher directory. Change directory to DSDT Patcher directory. When you in the DSDT Patcher directory, please enter this command:-

Tools/iasl -d acpi_dsdt.bin

Change acpi_dsdt.bin with your DSDT filename. You'll get a readable DSDT file with .dsl extension, for example acpi_dsdt.dsl. Create Debug directory & copy acpi_dsdt.dsl in it. To patch your DSDT file, enter this command:-

./DSDT \Patcher Debug/acpi_dsdt.dsl

You'll get a lot of error & warning messages. Fix it first before you can get a clean dsdt file.

There are a lot of information in this forum to fix the error & warning. Please try finding it first before asking any help in here.

Good luck.

Is there any step I can flow ?
