HBP Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I'm not a programmer but I'm more then willing to beta test almost anything. has anyone tried to just use the ACPI.kext you can Build From say darwin 8.1 or 8.2 to replace the TpmACPI.kext? I know there is a delete this kext thing, But wouldn't the system run better if you have an ACPI complyant system if you used it? going to look around on how to compile a kext and see if it works. would this help with stability?

The people who could actually use ACPI are laptop users.

cyrana Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 It isn't even part of darwin. It is something added just to 10.4.1 to try to lock down the developer systems (I'm pretty sure anyway). The other ACPI files are the ones that actually do something useful. hehe Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/1607-workaround-for-tpmacpikext/#findComment-11114 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stern Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 My computer supports ACPI(2.0), is there some way you could give me that file, since it seems that you use it?

cyrana Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 What is 'that file'? Nothing in this thread is even applicable to ACPI, it is about the TPM really, they are just confused by the file name.

ATI.Bob Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Hmm.. I was wondering where my battery status icon had gone in my OSX.. I applied Maxxus's 0.4 SSE3 to SSE2 patch on my Acer TravelMate 3202XCi laptop and it worked fine (deleted PCCard and ATI Kexts to boot properly). I also deleted the TPMACPI.kext file to prevent my CPU time being eaten up.. Now I know why the battery status icon would not appear on my dd'ed deadmoo vmware image.. It would be quite nice if someone can found a way to enable ACPI without TPM..

cyrana Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 It does work w/out TPM... Not sure why yours is broken, but I get battery results fine on my laptop w/that file deleted. Nevermind that battery useage is atrocious anyway...hehe.

stelriah Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 i'm guessing that the people that have been deleting the ati kexts have nvidia cards, right? i have an ati card, but im still tempted to do it. If i move them out of the extensions folder and it messes up osx can i just boot in safe mode, put them back, and everything will be fine again?

wiebeest Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 i'm guessing that the people that have been deleting the ati kexts have nvidia cards, right? i have an ati card, but im still tempted to do it. If i move them out of the extensions folder and it messes up osx can i just boot in safe mode, put them back, and everything will be fine again?I was wondering the same for my Geforce 6600 system in relation to the Nvidia .kext stuff.Those stuff just don't work, darwin notifies of loading fails in verbose mode (-v). Native I'm stuck to 1024x768@60Hz (ouch my eyes on my current CRT), although I sure is a VESA 3.0 card and Darwin even recognises it a such. So, Question is: all .kext files related to Ati & Nvidia out of extensions foleder; good idea, or not?
