Hi everyone !

 

I need some help for my Laptop ASUS X71Vn (Bios vers: 207).

 

I extracted my DSDT under Linux which I applied the following fixes :

 

- IRQ, CMOS, and DTGP SpeedStep, and SATA fixed CPU Alias

Result : no compilation error and no warnings! (great!)

 

Under OS X Snow Leopard, I Have some problems : the sleep function does not work and the fans are very loud and the pc gets hot.

 

Does anyone can help me to improve the management of the maximum of the components of my laptop natively ?

 

I submit the two DSDT (raw and modified) and the dump of my ioregistry from the terminal. Everything is in the zip file attached :

 

Here is my configuration :

 

- ASUS X71Vn Bios vers: 207 (10/29/2009)

- 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller [8086:293E]

- RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller [10EC:8168]

- AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) [168C:002A]

- Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU T5850 @ 2.16GHz 2166 MHz CPU-model 15

- G96 [GeForce 9650M GT] [10DE:064C]

- pci@0000:01:00.0

- ICH9M/M-E SATA AHCI Controller [8086:2929]

 

Thank you in advance for any help and / or indications !

First of all : Thank you very much for you answer ! and for the DSDT !

 

also, I would like to have an idea about the changes you maked on the DSDT ;-)

 

In addition, I wonder what are the kexts that I can remove (in addition to nullCPUpowermanagement) from the file Extensions ?

 

Also, in com.apple.boot.plist, thank you also tell me if I have to add the following two lines.

 

<key>DSDT</key>

<string>/Extra/DSDT</string>

 

here's a screenshots of my com.apple.boot.plist and Extensions.

 

Thks very much in advance.

Great thanks !

 

I'll try it !

 

Before I wonder where can I find the correct smbios of MacBook5,1 ?

And also what about the two lines in boot.plist to declare the DSDT ?

 

<key>DSDT</key>

<string>/Extra/DSDT</string>

 

Thanks and sorry if there is a redundancy in my questions ;-) !

 

Ps :

for enabling CStates and Pstates it is correct to use Chameleon 2 RC5 VS 1200 ?

Because right now I'm just using RC4.

 

Thanks in advance,

Unfortunatly KP !

 

I don't now how to report details about KP from the console. If it's needed please help ;-)

 

Also I'm booting using empire EFI CD, so it seem that screenshots don't work.

 

So I submit to you all my Extra File (sorry it's about 5 mo !)

 

 

Thanks again for your efforts !!

Thanks !

 

I'll try it !

 

Wow ! great work !!

 

No KP, and I have the sleep function ! (Since one year and half , never had it !!)

 

Thanks very much !!

 

But ;-) because there is always a but. The PC can not get out from the sleep correctly : I have a black screen.

 

And also the fans are in the max and the T° is too high 94° in istatmenu (screeshot).

 

 

 

 

Do you have an idea ?

Thank again and again you for your efforts

Ps :

 

Here is detailed files that I extract under Linux (CdLive) (I joined also the final DSDT).

 

I have understood that those files contain deeper informations about the hardware of my laptop. I wonder and my purpose is to get the maximum of my component natively through the DSDT that you have generously corrected.

 

I Think about :

 

1. sound;

 

2. Speedstep (to settle the management of the power management natively, and may be better than enabling Cstates and Pstates via Chameleon RC5);

 

3. The 64 bit (because I don't have right now : pc starts in 32bits);

 

4. The camera;

 

5. improving the components Dectection im smsbios,

 

5. and finally May be others fine-tunings ?

 

Can you take a look please ?

 

Another time great thanks in advance for you efforts,

I think it was your last post for those problems ;-)

 

If it's the case I want to thank you a lot for your efforts !

 

Can you please delete the last file I attached ? (or show me how to do it :-))

 

Thanks in advance,

 

See you...

 

Ps : I'll search in forums that you indicated for sound and Temp...

Hello MaLdOn,

 

After our mails exchange, I've done a clean install of Snow Leopard using the latest DSDT and extra you generously helped me to generate !

 

 

I still need your help for the following difficulties :

 

During boot I have to boot using -v. Otherwise, the system stops and asks me to restart (No KP!).

 

(For information, after Snow Leopard installation, I copy the Extra folder and installed Chameleon-2.0-RC5-r1083, that's all. After I updated. I am now under 10.6.8.)

 

Also, I can not get SnowLeopard in 64 bits.

 

Also, the trackpad no longer works and I have no battery indicator.

 

Here are the files Extra, Send_me and the result of the two following commands :

 

1. ioreg -lw0 | grep PerformanceStateArray

 

 

2. ioreg -lw0 | grep AICPMVers

 

Big thank you in advance for taking a look at the files and guiding to resolve those problems ;-)
