Mohamed Khairy Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 so now i understood how nvidia optimums work and apple two cards work apple ones every display connector have two pathway one from intel and one from nvidia or amd but our nvidia optimus every display receive only one pathway from intel gfx and nvidia card is connected only to intel gfx it is like some how when you use nvidia card for physx beside amd card so from that to me i mange to remove two connector on nvidia dsdt patch so now no connectors appear on system from nvidia then edit power management to manage nvidia gfx card so make card so quiet and then edit connector for intel hd 3000 i think this is the best we do with nvidia optimus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yudhi Jaya Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 dsdt.Mohamed_Khairy.zip Hi MaLd0n, Can U fix my dsdt, work with swicthable Nvidia Optimus graphic? I'm extract a dsdt while Nvidia GT 335M running in Win 7.

amit_talkin Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 this would be great if will work. Many of us waiting to get optimus ( if not, atleast nvidia GPU ) working on laptops.

Mohamed Khairy Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 i didnt get nvidia optimus to work there are differnce between hardware of real mac and our notebooks real mac work with mux linking and tried to add mux dsdt part on dsdt of macbookpro 8.2 but kext cant loaded for it as no hardware to load for it so if you want to mac nvidia card to work you must port software for it like luinx tool bumblebee and need works above my level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hisho Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 how about we take a look at the apple dsdt in the early macbook pro 2011 and see how the optimus works and add it our dsdt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hisho Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 we could make acpi module like bumblebee in linux and , turn off the nvidia so we can adjust the power management and make the battery last longer , and may be we can cool the cpu a little bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yudhi Jaya Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 how to do power management for nvidia card? I already inject my nvidia card at dsdt but the display still directly to intel on boan uard. can U fix some problem here? pls check my dsdt an ioreg Thanks Mohamed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohamed Khairy Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 see till now the only working for me is intel hd 3000 on notebook screen no vga no hdmi about nvidia card the only i can do to it to make this card identified and kexts loaded but frambuffer for connector wont work as there are changes on pathway from mac and add power managment for card on AGPM kext nothing more i can do for it <key>MacBookPro8,2</key> <dict> <key>LogControl</key> <integer>1</integer> <key>Vendor10deDevice0df5</key> <dict> <key>BoostPState</key> <array> <integer>0</integer> <integer>1</integer> <integer>2</integer> <integer>3</integer> </array> <key>BoostTime</key> <array> <integer>3</integer> <integer>3</integer> <integer>3</integer> <integer>3</integer> </array> <key>Heuristic</key> <dict> <key>ID</key> <integer>0</integer> <key>IdleInterval</key> <integer>250</integer> <key>SensorOption</key> <integer>1</integer> <key>SensorSampleRate</key> <integer>4</integer> <key>TargetCount</key> <integer>1</integer> <key>Threshold_High</key> <array> <integer>57</integer> <integer>70</integer> <integer>88</integer> <integer>100</integer> </array> <key>Threshold_Low</key> <array> <integer>0</integer> <integer>68</integer> <integer>75</integer> <integer>95</integer> </array> </dict> <key>control-id</key> <integer>17</integer> </dict> <key>IGPU</key> <dict> <key>Heuristic</key> <dict> <key>BusyDownThresholdPercent</key> <integer>70</integer> <key>BusyUpThresholdPercent</key> <integer>90</integer> <key>DiagnosticModeDefault</key> <integer>0</integer> <key>EvaluateDownInterval</key> <integer>350000</integer> <key>EvaluateUpInterval</key> <integer>66000</integer> <key>ID</key> <integer>2</integer> <key>SensorOption</key> <integer>1</integer> </dict> <key>control-id</key> <integer>16</integer> <key>max-power-state</key> <integer>15</integer> <key>min-power-state</key> <integer>0</integer> </dict> </dict> i use macbookpro 8.2 smbios so i eidted info plist of applegraphicspowermanagment.kext on part of macbookpro 8.2 to be like the above code be sure about your nvidia card id the id above is for my card 525M <key>Vendor10deDevice0df5</key> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDDPioneer Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Hi guys, hi Maldon, I was playing with optimus and discovered something: 1 - The optimus driver turn the nvidia card on and off by using ACPI CALLS, see here: https://github.com/MrMEEE/bumblebee/blob/ma...acpicall.UBUNTU Every model and combination of chips have a different call, SEE THE FILES OF THE LINUX GUYS: https://github.com/MrMEEE/bumblebee/tree/ma...-files/opensuse 2 - I tried to call it in windows using the Everest info program and in linux unsing the bumblebee of the links above __/\ and it worked fine I see the leds changing on every acpi command. 3 - I tried to make the call by using the _ON and the _OFF methods of my nvidia GPU but i discovered that it can be done with the _PS0 and _PS3 methods, I tried using this way: I created a method called PINI like below to turn off the nvidia Method (PINI, 0, NotSerialized) { \_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._PS3 () // Desliga a Nvidia } and called it like below: Scope (_SB.PCI0) { Method (_INI, 0, NotSerialized) { PINI () ... the rest of the method... but it not worked like windows and linux, BUT I am new in this thing of DSDT and I ask all of you what is better to do, make an app that calls the ACPI commands (I think this will be pretty good as we can turn the board ON and OFF by running the program) or make it by dsdt (this I think will be more static) what is better ? thank you all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkorolz Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Hi all. I think the first step for most of us (before Optimus) is to be able to turn on our Geforce and shutdown the Intel 3000. Any chances? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoiX Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I experimented based on IDDPioneers work, the problem as i see it is that Intel HD one has priority over the damn nvidia card, with or without DSDT the card is powered and detected, but without nvidia optimus support on real macs, the OS doesn't know how to switch to the other card and power it as main. Note: i frankly don't give a shoe for optimus on mac, i jus want proper GPU support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkorolz Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Hi all again. Ive found this program http://codykrieger.com/gfxCardStatus/ . Its supposed to do what we are looking for, sourcecode is available. Can anyone with the Geforce powered on give it a try please!! Thank you!

kkorolz Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Looks like they're planning to add detection to more graphics cards (5xxM) in Chameleon: http://forge.voodooprojects.org/p/chameleon/issues/202/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoiX Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 In case someone is still watching this topic. I have a Dell l502X, using DSDT i did power the card fully (proper Info is showing in IOReg and PCI Card + the detection of the HDAU part of the Nvidia card). I know that people with modded bioses (that can change in bios the primary card to use) and 3D displays, have nvidia working properly because the system doesn't "load" the IGPU. I tried disabling IGPU via DSDT the same way the nvidia card got powered but i got KP at boot "NO Hpets available .. cpus configured incorectly" this made me think that the modded bios (&3D displays) doesn't actually disable the IGPU but rather hide it from the system so OS X detects only the Nvidia one and loads it properly because atm the IGPU gets in the way and NVDAResman can;t initialize properly (console log: rmStart failed...) A solution would be kext editing i guess.. or managing to HIDE not DISABLE the IGPU using DSDT... if that is possible.

Jim989 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Anyone know if my system contains Optimus? Onboard GFX: Intel HD3000 PCIe: nVidia GeForce GTX 560M I first thought yes, but in the unlocked Bios I have the following options... PowerXpress Setting 1. Muxed Fixed Scheme 2. Muxless Fixed Scheme 3. Muxless Dynamic Scheme 4. Muxless Fixed and Dynamic Scheme Primary Display 1. IGFX 2. PEG 3. PCI 4. SG System is an Alienware M17XR3, running 10.7.3 using HD3000. Is it possible if I use "MUXed Fixed Scheme" it can be made to work through DSDT like a real mac? Or is this a red herring? I have no knowledge about how mac does these things. Thanks in advance!

Artistus Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Hi, guys! I'm wondering about getting to work nVIDIA Optimus on my Dell Inspiron N5110 laptop, like Mohamed's one with GT 525M 1GB. I think that it would be good if someone made some Optimus.kext and designed the proper PINI _PS0 and _PS3 methods for nVIDIA card and some workaround for switching IGPU to transit graphics from nVIDIA card. Could any professional do some good job there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
