Hi kizwan, are there any new dsdt that need to be tested?

I'm currently "exploring" the VAIO dsdt to understand why the internal LCD is not working properly. I will post the modified dsdt to be tested when it ready.

[kizwan]

@cloud03, I made a couple of adjustment in the dsdt for Sony VAIO AW190JAH. Please test & post here the results. Thank you.

I need to see the codec dump first before I can say I can make it to works. If it is possible to make it to work, I will patch the AppleHDA.kext or legacy kext. Also with HDEF injection in DSDT (so that we will not need HDAEnabler.kext). If you can give me ALC275 codec dump, I will examine it to know for certain either I can make it to work or not. Other solution is using VoodooHDA.kext but I don't know if it support ALC275 or not.

kizwwan,

I have a codec dump from ubuntu for both the ALC275 and HDMI audio, would you like to look at it and see if enabling audio via DSDT is possible, just holler if you want them (for VPCF115FM)

Hey everyone,

The EvO team over at osX86.es has created something they call EvOBootboX for Sony VAIO laptops. It's for different models than we are working on (CR11z, CR21z, & CR31z) with an ATI X2300 video card. Here is what they say about this software:

(Translated from Spanish)

Here you have an application addressed to the owners of Sony Vaio computers CR11z, CR31z CR21Z and ATI X2300 graphics card using Snow Leopard. Using this application you will have:

Sound, OpenGL accelerated graphics and resolution 1280 × 800,
DSDT corrected for Snow, Speedstep, battery management, trackpad and keyboard.

The application contains context-sensitive help on each button and Help menu.

It also comes with "Read me first." In comments for this story I leave the "Read me first."

Download link following the link to the forum.

My hope is that Kizwan may be able to get something out of this software to help us. They are saying they can get full video, so how are they doing it?

The site is very difficult to navigate, partly because it's in Spanish (but there are translations buttons). In order to be able to download, you need to be registered, and THAT'S not easy on the site either. I have included a link to the download below, and the form. It may not let you download, but it's worth a try.

I don't know what I did, but now for all DSDT, with graphicsEnabler=yes it'll only display blue screen on external LCD, anyone know how to fix this?

Update: The problems are fixed..

Hopefully just a loose cable or might you have changed the Source setting. I know, stupid things, but...

dear friends

recently i have post all the documentation about why internal screen don't work don't know why the post was deleted and i think no one of you have read  the links i give
i say that because i have read your posts and you are wrong and waste time:

i know the problem since 3 years i would fix it but i can't because i don't code or programming but i know how to search ...

and in searching i have found /

the vaio problem on osx is apple had rosetta vaio had SNY50001 et SNY60001 this component control internal screen.
he had other name : snc, for sony notebook control or sony firmware extension parser it appears in dsdt has  sfep
i have the information from  linux because there was the same problem with internal screen but they have fix because sony forum are open to linux users and so they gave sources of the drivers for linux develloping

on the deleted links i 've posted there was one i wrote source code and under this line i have put the link from linux to edit dsdt to add sfep that fix the issue iof internal screen

i think we win time if someone try this

so what we need to solve:

someone who know how to code try to make a driver for sfep
because osx don't see it

here is a link to my spec:

Hi cloud03, thanks for the results. This is new modified DSDT (R6) for Sony VAIO AW190JAH. This time I added two methods in DSDT which are "_DOS" (enable/disable output switching) & "_DOD" (enumerate all devices attached to the display adapter). Normally this two methods exist in DSDT. I'm also add some code in the "Device (LCD)" which are:-
    

_DDC (Return the EDID for this Device)
 _DCS (Return the Status of Output Device)
 _DGS (Query Graphics State)
 _DSS (Device Set State)

Like JLVaio said, for some reason his post was deleted, and not by him or I. There were many links in his post, so perhaps it was seen as "SPAM" (when it wasn't), and was deleted.

As he also stated, I felt there was valuable information in his links from his post, so I saved them locally to my computer.

I will not "post" them again because as mentioned, someone, or some thing, on high deleted them for some reason, and I do NOT wish to cause any problems or break any InsanelyMac rules.   Instead, I will provide them in an attached OS X TextEdit file.

Originally, JLVaio had posted this information on my thread at: http://www.insanelym...howtopic=218716

But because he has now posted on this thread, I will provide the attachment here for anyone who may be interested in the information.

Sorry for replying too late, I was a bit busy today.

I've tried R6 and with both option Yes and No, the display only shows on external LCD, internal LCD unfortunately still off, here is the ioreg dump:

Mammoth, is there a way we can get a vanilla dsdt that hasn't been modified? I'd like to see the differences (Ie the changes they made)  I think what we need to look at is the SNC device in the DSDT to get things working.

Thanks Dark for asking for this.

At first I thought, "OK, I have that file somewhere..." then I started wondering how accurate the file I DID have (if I could even determine which one WAS the clean, unaltered DSDT file) actually was. So, here is what I did:

@Kizwan

I have created brand new CLEAN DSDT files for the VPCF115FM/B and this time I did it from Windows using the latest version of iASL for Windows found at this link:

ACPIA.org - iASL for Windows

Here are the new, untouched VPCF115FM/B DSDT files:

Hi Phantom, thank you for the codec dump. These are the modified DSDT, legacy kext for ALC275 as well as 10.6.3 AppleHDA.kext (patched with ALC275 device ID) for Sony VAIO VPCF115FM. Please refer to Readme.rtf file & the instructions below for further information. No audio through HDMI yet because HDMI audio device is completely different device. Please let me know the results. Thank you.
http://www.mediafire.com/?0lntwmjiwjz
http://www.mediafire.com/?mmyygzlzmwm
(EDIT) Instructions:-
- Copy the modified dsdt.aml file in the package to the designated location.
- Copy the legacy kext (ALC275F115FM_106_V1.kext or ALC275F115FM_106_V2.kext) to Extra folder.
- If you're using 10.6.3, you will require to replace the AppleHDA.kext in /System/Library/Extensions/ folder with the one included in the package.
- Please try both V1 & V2.
Notes:-
- With V1 probably the internal mic will not working. This is because it connected to Audio Selector instead Audio Mixer.
- With V2 I tried to get both internal & external mic working.
For the results, please provide ioreg (using IORegistryExplorer) & System Profiler dump.

@Kizwan

So I have connected my VPCF115FM/B up to my HDTV via the HDMI out and created a new System Profile and IOReg dump. This just seems crazy, as it really seems like we should be able to get the laptop display to work. In the System Profiler dump, look of course at the Graphics/Displays section, as we all have, but also look at the PCI Cards section! There are 2 graphics devices listed there. On the one that is connected via HDMI, under "Driver Installed" at the top, that one says "Yes" for driver installed but the other one says "No". For Card, both are shown detected as "Unknown".

The way my system is working is, to get 1280 x 1024 output on the laptop display, I do NOT invoke GraphicsEnabler=Yes (in other words, it defaults to "No"). If I want the display on the HDMI connector (and maybe the VGA connector, but I haven't tried that), then on boot up from Chameleon I invoke GraphicsEnabler=Yes.


Here are the System Profiler and IORegExplorer dumps that show this.

...............................

I think it is not working because driver is not loaded for "NVDA,Parent" device. I noticed that none of the device IDs for both devices is in NVDANV50Hal.kext/Contents/Info.plist and/or NVDAResman.kext/Contents/Info.plist. Try put both device IDs in both kext files & see what happen. One other thing is that it missing "attached-gpu-control-path" under NGFX@0 & "gpu-control" under NVDA,Display-A@0 in your ioreg. These are what you should see in the ioreg:-
