Toshiba Qosmio X500 - 99% perfect working 10.8 install, but...

01 August 2012 - 03:00 PM

Hi,

I've managed to make my Qosmio X500 run almost flawlessly ML Retail (mac store download), and the DSDT I run has no issues whatsoever - 0 errors & 0 warnings & 0 optimisations. :)

My setup:

- ML Retail 10.8
- Chameleon bootloader v2003 (latest)
- ###### + ######
- DSDT (send attached)
- QE/CI with graphics enabler= yes
- Voodoobattery.kext (latest) for battery level


Everything works pretty much oob except for one strange issue, that never happened to me before on my other hacks, related to power management.
Although when I'm running from battery everything is perfect, if I switch to the power plug or even remove the battery altogether, the system doesn't recognise that  I'm running with the AC plugged in as it always assumes that I'm still running on battery! This happens with or without the voodoo battery.kext loaded.

I send attach my DSDT and a screen of the reported issue from system profile.

Any tips please? It's the only issue I have left in order to have a perfect running hack. And it bothers me not to be able to restore backups from Time Machine in ML since it requires now that the computer is plugged in to the charger (even if it is in reality). :(

Thanks!

10.7.4 - How to "edit" About this Mac?

25 June 2012 - 09:34 AM

Hi, I've upgraded successfully my Qosmio to 10.7.4 without any noticeable issues except for this weird one: On the 'About This Mac -> More Info...' window my graphic card (recognized ootb by using graphics enabler=yes) used on other Lion releases to be listed correctly as: Nvidia GTS 250 1024 MB.
After upgrading to 10.7.4 it appears now on the same window description as: Unknown nVidia card 1024 MB. Other than that particular detail, everything works as before, full QE/CI et al.

I send a picture attached of the issue.

Is there any way to edit this information so that it's listed correctly as before?

Thanks!
