I patched and cleaned your DSDT but I did not do the dual link patch. You need to post a IOreg and a link to your laptops product page. Install DSDT in your extra folder and then restart then extract your IOreg. Then post the IOreg and your entire Extra folder.

For IOreg follow my guide here:

At first many thanks for your work.

The system boot fine with your patched dsdt.
So i could make the ioreg steps.

Attached you´ll find the services and device tree extracted with ioreg and my extra folder with your patched file.


I hope that this are all informations you need to help me again.

I can´t send you a link to my customer for the specs, cause they have updated this laptop for a while and old model isn´t there any more.
i can only send you a detailed list which hardware is used in my System.

Thanks you very much!!

Hi,
i´ve tested your new dsdt, but without sucess.

System won´t boot anymore in verbose Mode i get the following errors:

[AGPM Controller] unknown Platform
Apple LPC:: start - RCBA not enabled
ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin:: register LPCDriver - Warning - LPC Device initialization failed: C-State power management not initialized

hope this helps you

Boot with:

DSDT=No

Then replace the old DSDT with this version:

Hi,

i´m back here again.

this dsdt works normal for booting up my system.

if i use both Graphics Cards it looks like this:


When i disable the gt555m all works except the GT555m Graphics Adapter.

i´ve looked araund the system monitor. there the gt555m is shown with 2048mb ram. and open gl rendering is supported.
but it looks like the picture i´ve uploaded.

very strange for me.

No

Can we turn off the nvidia one to save power? I only use it in windows for gaming.
