DTGP

IRQs

Shutdown

LPC <---run on terminal - kextstat | grep LPC - if it is loaded, you do not need

I applied those and a few more (Mac devices, AHCI Orange Icon Fix, HDEF, AD2000B)

 

*you must need the usb fixs

Which are those?

 

for native power managment and restart fix --> Chameleon RC5

Look it

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=225766

Download Chameleon RC5

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=231075

 

include in boot.plist

 

<key>GeneratePStates</key>

<string>Yes</string>

<key>GenerateCStates</key>

<string>Yes</string>

 

smbios MacPro / boot.plist

SMBIOS_MP___BOOT.PLIST.zip

I installed it and using com.apple.Boot.plist and smbios.plist in the attachments.

 

for audio use voodoohda

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=216071

or

apply the patch in DSDT + legacy + *applehda 10.6.2

With that I'm having problems... I can't get stable sound output. If I use VoodooHDA I often get KPs and if try AppleHDA10.6.2.kext I get

 

 Oct  2 00:51:57 localhost kernel[0]: Sound assertion "0 == pathMap_aDriverInstance" failed in "/SourceCache/AppleHDA/AppleHDA-179.1.4/AppleHDA/AppleHDADriver.cpp" at line 1656 goto Exit

and I have situation like in the screenshots attached.

OK. I tried it. I now have working headphone output (front of the case) but no working input (microphone doesn't show in the list and CD is the only item - see the attached screenshots).

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1325322

OK. I'll look into it.

 

Thanks!

 

 

P.S. The editor is great - I made patches for the SBRG -> LPCB , _T_0 -> T_0 , _T_1 -> T_1 renaming

is the best solution :)

 

Well... I'm almost there :(

 

I used HDEF and AD2000B patch for the DSDT , AD2000b.kext in /E/E from the link You provided and bin patched version(for AD2000B) of AppleHDA.kext in /S/L/E

 

Now I have the situation You can see in the attached screenshot...

I have working audio out and microphone in on the back green and pink ports.

 

What I was really hoping is that I could use front (on the case) headphones(green) and mic(pink) ports and alternatively use HDMI out (on GTX 470).

 

What is confusing to me is that I have almost all sound in/out ports listed in System Profiler but don't have all listed in System Preferences->Sound :D

All in & out listed in the System Profiler just cosmetic. The list was parsed from the ConfigData & PinConfigurations you set in the DSDT. What you see in System Preferences are actually the real audio in & out your computer have.

Hi,

 

Any update on the DSDT Editor?

 

1. i would like to see the dsdt editor combine with the system-info program database (the program that check your hardware, to see if it is compatable with OS X 10.6.x)

 

 

2. Just like how the dsdt editor can save your dsdt info to a file, i would like it to save the system hardware profile (info), so that if some one send you a dsdt file, they can send their hardware profile as well.

 

3. Like to see, when you tell the program to load DSDT from IOREG or bios or file, it ask to load the hardware profile from bios or

file.

 

 

4. After it loads the dsdt and hardware profile, it checks the hardware to see which can work without kext files and which can't, using this info it then check the dsdt file and pop up all the sections that will need fix (editing/patching) and show a selectable list of all suggested fix (like DTPG.txt, EHCI.txt, Alias.txt, HDEF.txt, HPET.txt, RTC.txt, etc....).

 

5. When it's finnish modding your DSDT file, it should now show you the DSDT file and list of all the kext file that will be needed to get OSX 10.6.x to work.

 

Thank you.

Am wanting to use DSDT for GMA950 (Device ID: 0x2772) with vanilla kexts I understand I have to apply DTGP patch as well as the GMA950 Desktop patch. Is that correct?

 

I tried to compile an unpatched dsdt.aml but have run into a problem.

Compile has an error post-456295-1286423497_thumb.png

Line 2621 is

0x0AC00000,         // Length

I apply "Fix Errors" button and the line changes to 

0x7ac00000,         // Length

After the fix, still will not compile and gives the same error . Any idea how to fix this please.

Good suggestions, not far from el coniglio's idea

 

I'm working on a "next level" for the app, and I'd like to know what you guys think. The idea is to let the user share with his original dsdt and mobo model to a database, the dsdt will be parsed and a system will create relationships between that dsdt and ready made patches. So when reaching a consistent database the users would just hit a button and the app would check and suggest the patches.

 

We could generate an identifier based on PCI devices and DSDT. When the user applies an automated patch, it is stored in a local DB. If user chooses to submit info, applied patches are listed and user selects the ones that are confirmed working. These patches would be suggested to "similar" identifiers.

 

 

@pdave54

 

please post the entire segment where is line 2621, or attach your DSDT.

I don't understand, in this case the compiler expects length to be 0x00000000. Any ideas? Maybe because of arguments MinNotFixed and MaxFixed?

 

Change length manually from 0x7ac00000 to 0x00000000 and it will compile without errors.

Using 0x00000000 won't do much good. Replacing "MinNotFixed" with "MinFixed" however will solve the error (length should be correctly specified, as is) Fix the parameter and you are done.

Thank you oldnapalm.

Changing the length manually allow me to compile. System boots fine with un-patched dsdt.aml

Applied DTGP & GMA950 Desktop patches and again had to change the same line manually to compile.

Unfortunately on boot with patched dsdt.aml I get a plain grey screen when it gets to the log-in screen.

With an the earlier AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer 1.4.20 video acceleration & resolutions are fine, whether I have a DSDT or not. Defeats the purpose somewhat.

With the latest AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer 1.6.18 - Without dsdt, I have acceleration but no resolution choices

With dsdt - Grey screen

actually it's "length = max - min + 1".

 

 

@pdave54

 

that's strange, for desktop GMA950 the DSDT patch should be enough, using default kexts. I saw the gray screen issue in laptop GMA950, solved with the "AAPL,HasPanel" property. I know you have a desktop, but you may try it anyway.

"AAPL,HasPanel", 
Buffer (0x04)
{
0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00\n
}

GMA950_pdave54.txt

How many video outputs does your card have?

 

BTW, the package size in "GMA 950 desktop" patch was wrong, it was 0x1A, should be 0x06, but I believe it was not the problem.

 

EDIT: please see dutchhockeypro's post about the compilation error.

Actually it's a bug :) will be fixed in next release.

 

DSDT_Editor.zip

Nice one, thanks! :)

 

Also, it would be great if you could fix the Load and Save windows, just make them a little bit OSX'y and user friendly. The most annoying feature bug at the moment is the Load Patch function that can't remember it's previous location, so everytime you want to load a patch it sends you home instead of your patches folder.

Yes, I agree about the load and save dialogues, but they are Java default. In Windows they are identical to the system one, but in Mac OS they are that thing you see.

 

About load patch, it does remember the last used folder (at least it should) since the last release. It works fine here. Anyone else with this issue?

@oldnapalm Thank you for the time you have taken helping me solve this problem.

 

 

@dutchhockeypro And thank you , i used your suggestion in last compile.

 

As I said solved but I had one further hiccup which I will describe as it may help others with a similar problem.

 

Compiled with oldnapalm's script and dutchhockeypro's suggestion

 

Still got grey screen.

 

BTW my video card only has VGA out and monitor is 19" Benq LCD

 

Decided to attach a CRT monitor. On start had no signal, not even the Dell start screen.

Shut down computer, unplugged and removed bios battery (probably could just unpluged power cord) left for 1/2 hour.

Started, checked bios settings, CRT monitor now had signal. in single user, fsck-ed, and repaired permissions and caches......

Booted fine with dsdt.aml installed...restarted with LCD monitor..all good. Ran SnowLeopardGraphicsUpdate1.0..restart... all good

Thanks again.
