Thanks for you help. Here is my DSDT. I haven't had any luck with installing kexts - none work. something must be wrong with my setup.

Test this DSDT

Hello!
I have a DV7 6100us

I am not able to install. I am able to boot, but then the screen goes black and then goes off. I tried the
"Graphics Mode" flag and its the same result.
I have the hp with the right USB 3.0 and 6770m I am thinking that the problem has to do something with the video i have a 17" screen.
thanks to appleworm for the install disc! and to all those who help us to get our laptops worth more

[skystar3]

I have reinstalled my Lion & tested Appleworm Extra folder, it is working great Thanks Appleworm, but i used chimera 1.5.3 instead of Chameleon 2 RC5 r1003.pkg

Also installed 10.7.2

os_x_lion_10.7.2_11c62_combo_updatereversioner.dmg

My laptop updated to 10.7.2 without any problem, now hoping to find solution to make ATI 6770m working

SpeedStep, TurboBoost, Sleep/wake now working using SpeedStepper by flAked  NullCPUPowerManagement.kext
no longer needed

Here is how to enable it:

1- First we need to back up these kexts just in case:

AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext
NullCPUPowerManagement.kext

2- Remove AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext from S/L/E & /Extra/Extensions
    Remove NullCPUPowerManagement.kext from /Extra/Extensions

3- Now depending on your AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext version download the appropriate SpeedStepper by flAked SpeedStepper

mine is v166.0.0, you can know that by navigating AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext/Contents/version.plist

<key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
	<string>166.0.0</string>
	<key>CFBundleVersion</key>
	<string>166.0.0</string>

4- Now the patching:

sudo ./speed_stepper_lion_gm* AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext/Contents/MacOS/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement

Assuming that we are in a dir containing AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext
* depend on which version your install mine is speed_stepper_lion_gm

5- After patching install the patched AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext using Kext Helper b7
6- Then run the kext utility
7- repair disk permissions
8- restart & enjoy

I have run some test before & after the patching using Geekbench:

Before: Bench score 6850
After: Bench score 8902

Also i used MSRDumper by flAked which is a special made kext for debugging P-State transitions on SandyBridge systems. It will output the current CPU multiplier and the reached P-States over time in kernel.log

Before:

kernel: MSRDumper PStatesReached: 8 20
kernel: MSRDumper CoreMulti(8)

After:

kernel: MSRDumper PStatesReached: 8 11 16 19 20 22 26 27 28 29
kernel: MSRDumper CoreMulti(26)

Enjoy

Thanks, sound works for me now. Still can't get ethernet or left side usb to work. Did you use a specific RTL8111 next? I've tried a couple, but they don't work. Do you have left side USB? Thanks, again.

You are welcome
From MSRDumper reading your  SpeedStep, TurboBoost definitely working
as for the wake up try to press a keyboard key or mouse button, moving the mouse around may not wake up the system.

Left side USBs are version 3 not 2, in applework's /Extra/Extentions Kexts there is no Kext for USB 3 BUT the right side one should definitely work

I had tested with version 167 with no results. Thanks for the info!
Have any modification in the DSDT for SpeedStep? CST, PSS, SSDT, etc?

Can you pass me your patched AICPUPM version 166?
