ASUS P5G41T-M + GTX550Ti DSDT Help

Hello all.

 

I have a fully working 10.7.4 setup with the following:

 

Intel Core 2 Quad 8300 2.5 GHz

8 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 Memory

GTX 550 Ti 1 GB (displays 1536 MB on System Specs)

ASUS P5G41T-M Mobo (G41 Chipset + 82801GB Southbridge)

 

I tried following a DSDT guide, which ended in disaster. System refused to boot and had to do boot from a CD and remove the DSDT.

 

I also think my GPU is not being accelerated via hardware. I ran Splinter cell conviction and even on the lowest settings I had major FPS issues.

 

I am scared to use a DSDT i found online for my mobo, b/c I know they have to be very specific to yours.

 

Thanks!!

Extract your DSDT using my guide:

 

http://rampagedev.wordpress.com/2012/06/30/how-to-extract-your-own-dsdt-3-2/

 

THen extract your IOreg using my guide:

 

http://rampagedev.wordpress.com/2012/07/20/how-to-use-ioreg/

 

Then post your files here on email them trough my blog and I will edit it for you.

Here you go!

 

Also, if it's any useful, here is my org.chameleon.boot.plist file:

I also used an 10.7.2+ OpenCL Enabler..

Do I just place this in the /Extra folder and cross my fingers? :P

Or should I use chameleon wizard to point a DSDT in it's direction?

 

Edit:I did as you said. Number 1 worked, number 2 worked with GE=no. However, under System Info it says my GPU Vram = 3072 MB.

just to help if you don't know this already, but if you are using chameleon you can just type "DSDT=no" at boot to deactivate the dsdt and boot into the machine to make the specific changes you need :)

 

Yeah I know that now. Thanks! :)

 

Vram is cosmetic... but it is now fixed:

Thank you for this. Really appreciate it! :)

You should be using the retail kexts if you are using Lion. In ML everything works OOB. Cuda does not affect OpenCl the retail drivers do. You will have to use hex edit again to use the patch. In ML OpenCL works OOB.

 

Also you should look into getting rid of VoodooHDA and use a patched version of AppleHDA since you have ALC887 witch is fully supported.

Hex edit what exactly? Is there a guide I can follow on your blog?

 

Also, I use VoodooHDA because that is what the guide suggested for my mobo. Where can I find this patched AppleHDA. When I apply it, I have to remove all instances of Voodoo*.kext yes?

 

Thanks!

 

Edit: How should I proceed to upgrade to Mountain Lion? I've read your guide, but with all the non-retail additions I have then should I do a fresh install? I can keep Lion on my computer.

 

Edit 2: Here are the kexts I've installed because of the guide:

 

AppleRTC.kext

AtherosL1cEthernet.kext

SleepEnabler.kext

OpenCL Enabler (###### patch)

 

Since now I have a DSDT, do I need all of those? I read your stuff on DSDT's and you mention that if you have a working DSDT you can upgrade in the future.

 

I've attached a LuxMark benchmark and OpenCL one. I saw these on your blog and decided to try them.

 

Are those numbers right? Also why does it say 0 MHz for the clock speed of my GPU? Just an aesthetic error or will changing it affect the score etc?

 

Thanks!

With ML you will not need to use HEX edit only if you need HDMI audio. ML native AppleHDA Nvidia HDMI works OOB however you will need to use a Lion kext until a patched AppleHDA from ML is released.

 

The 0MHz speed is due to the OpenCL patch...

 

You will have to reinstall the following kexts for ML:

 

AppleRTC.kext (Look for a Bin patch for the native ML kext)

AtherosL1cEthernet.kext

 

Lets get audio working in Lion then worry about ML and yes in your case I would recommend a clean install.

Audio works fine on Lion though. I'll do the AppleHDA anyways!

 

I don't want to go to ML just yet. Lion is fine for what I do and I don't see a reason to upgrade.

 

Here is my extra folder:

 

ExtraFolder.zip

 

Edit: I added AppleHDA and the DSDT. Removed VoodoHDA, booted up fine.

 

One thing I should note is this:

 

post-222272-0-61641100-1344393302_thumb.png

 

Before I did what you said about 5 minutes ago, the options were always Digital Line Out. The one time I actually had options to select headphones, digital line out, usb etc was upon my fresh install of Lion.

 

I use several USB connections for various mics, sound equipment, instruments etc, so these all working is key.

 

However, I cannot select Digital Out from the Output in the Sound menu under System Pref.

 

Edit 2: Here is the Audio selection under System Profiler:

 

post-222272-0-18874100-1344393616_thumb.png

 

So natively, audio works. I'll restart my computer and turn the device on to see if I can hear anything through headphones.

 

Edit 3: Audio works.

 

Saffire shows up under Audio, which is what I use as a base for all my connections.

You were using kernel cache so that is why it did not work. replace your extra folder with the one I attached to this post. If audio still does not work after a restart install the AppleHDA that is in the folder with the extra folder and report back with an IOreg.

Hm.

 

Also, not sure if you can help with this. But I'm using Tuxera NTFS to connect my two main NTFS 1 TB Hardrives to my Lion setup. Booting up, it shows "Errors encountered during boot process... pausing 5 seconds". I know it's the hardrives causing this b/c when I remove them this disappears.

 

Also, before booting up, it says something like:

ntfs_fixup: magic doesn't match: ...... *random numbers here* 

 

I can live with it. It does not affect anything but boot time.

 

Here is my kernel log if it helps, I've bolded a few errors I see.

The roxio drivers can cause issues from update to update. I have there software and it is ok... It was given to me for free so I can't complain...

 

I see you have NullCPUpowermanagment kext installed. You do not need this and it should be removed. Google System Info for Mac and download it and run it and select kexts and then post a screen shot of what kexts are loaded.
