Knowing if AICPM is working

[RCOO]

So I've got a Toshiba Satelite P755-103 (with a Intel i7-2630QM & HD3000 & Geforce GT540M). I've done the AICPM patch, however, I'm not sure if power management is actually working...

I have SSDT in place (and dropssdt=yes) and it's being loaded in the startup (checked with bdmesg). However, Using SMC Monitor to check frequency/potency values, I noticed they are 0! If I have nullCpuPowerManagement.kext, and I have DROPSSDT = no and Generate P & C States, the freq/potency columns have values. Also there is no AICPMVers detected :s

 

I've attached a screenshot with SMC Monitor results:

1st case: No NullCPUPowerManagement & AICPM Patched & DROPSSDT = YES & Generate P & C States = NO

2nd case: With NullCPUPowerManagement & DROPSSDT=NO & Generate P & C States = YES.

Thanks to anyone that can shed a light!

Did you generate your own SSDT? If so, you could try my patched AICPU.

You should test pstates with Pike's AppleIntelCPUPowerManagementInfo kext instead of SMC Monitor. Google it, I don't think it's in this forum. Also you may want to try kozlek's FakeSMC plugins to monitor voltages, temperatures, fans and frequencies.

Using Pike's AppleIntelCPUPowerManagementInfo, I get the following results:

 

2nd case (using NullCpuPowerManagement kext, with P & C state generation using Chameleon -> No null freq/voltage):

Jun 21 21:34:15 localhost kernel[0]: AICPUPMI: CPU P-States [ 20 ]

Jun 21 21:34:15 localhost kernel[0]: AICPUPMI: CPU P-States [ 8 20 ]

 

In the 1st case (removing NullCpuPowerManagement, without P & C state generation, DropSSDT=yes)

Jun 21 21:44:02 localhost kernel[0]: AICPUPMI: CPU P-States [ 20 ]

Jun 21 21:44:02 localhost kernel[0]: AICPUPMI: CPU P-States [ 8 20 ]

 

I installed kozlek's FakeSMC plugins.
