[GUIDE/HOWTO] Snow Leopard 10.6.3/10.6.4 on Asus "Republic of Gamers" G60JX

[wonslung]

as far as the USB stuff goes, you need to look for _PWR and either edit it, or add it.

 

it needs to be in both EHC0/1 and all of the USB's

 

(this will disbale powered usb ports when sleeping)

 

 

 

sooooo

 

 

let's take something like this:

 

 

 

 

			Device (EHC0)
		{
			Name (_ADR, 0x001D0000)
			Method (_PRW, 0, NotSerialized)
			{
				Return (GPRW (0x0D, 0x03))
			}

			Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
			{
				Store (Package (0x0B)
					{
						"AAPL,clock-id", 
						Buffer (One)
						{
							0x01
						}, 

						"device_type", 
						Buffer (0x05)
						{
							"EHCI"
						}, 

						"AAPL,current-available", 
						0x04B0, 
						"AAPL,current-extra", 
						0x02BC, 
						"AAPL,current-in-sleep", 
						0x03E8, 
						Buffer (One)
						{
							0x00
						}
					}, Local0)
				DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))
				Return (Local0)
			}

			Method (_S3D, 0, NotSerialized)
			{
				Return (0x02)
			}

			Method (_S4D, 0, NotSerialized)
			{
				Return (0x02)
			}
		}

 

 

 

 

in this code block, you can see _PWR is right at the begining, so we will edit it to look like this:

 

 

 

				Method (_PRW, 0, NotSerialized)
			{
				Return (GPRW (0x0D, Zero))
			}

 

 

now, the other usb devices are missing _PRW, so we will need to ADD it exactly like we just did

(this will disable power on sleep)

 

 

 

(i'm not going to post the entire usb code, but a part)

 

 

so change this:

 

 

			Device (USB0)
		{
			Name (_ADR, 0x001D0001)
			OperationRegion (BAR0, PCI_Config, 0xC0, 0x05)
			Field (BAR0, ByteAcc, NoLock, Preserve)
			{
				UBL1,   16, 
						Offset (0x04), 
				P0WE,   1, 
				P1WE,   1, 
						Offset (0x05)
			}

 

 

to this:

 

 

			Device (USB0)
		{
			Name (_ADR, 0x001D0001)
			Method (_PRW, 0, NotSerialized)
			{
				Return (GPRW (0x0D, Zero))
			}
			OperationRegion (BAR0, PCI_Config, 0xC0, 0x05)
			Field (BAR0, ByteAcc, NoLock, Preserve)
			{
				UBL1,   16, 
						Offset (0x04), 
				P0WE,   1, 
				P1WE,   1, 
						Offset (0x05)
			}

 

 

do this for all usb devices, and recompile

The EHCx seems to have worked fine but compile errors when applied to each USB?

ok, theres 2 things which could be causing the problem.....

 

i haven't tested it on this laptop because mine is working fine without it, but:

 

 

you may need to modify Method (GPRW) (more on this later, i need to check something)

 

but the EASIEST thing to do would be remove it entirely (from usb at least)

 

instead of using the above code for _PWR use something like this:

 

			  Name (_PRW, Package (0x02)
			 {
				 0x03, 
				 Zero
		   })

 

 

report back =)

[oSxFr33k]

@wonslung,

 

I have not tried it yet. You say your USB is working fine. Everything seems to be working for me to except a couple things. If there is a USB Flash Drive inserted and upon wake from sleep, I get a disk not properly ejected.

 

Do you have this problem and if not could you post your DSDT? Which Asus Model do you have? Do you see the Republic of Gamers LED symbol blink during sleep?

 

WIll this USB hack fix any of those conditions above because if it does not, then there is no need for this hack for me.

 

 

I will give it a try if this fix is meant to remove the issues above otherwise its not a fix for me either.

 

 

If this will possibly fix those issues above does the hack's hex code remain the same for each USB device, 0x02 and 0x03 or will that code be slightly different for each USB device as it is now in the last section of each USB device, the GPWR, return hex code is different. If you look at the end of each USB device they slightly vary in each section.

Pretty slick to see some faces from the m1530 threads over in this one... looking forward to helping out now that I have one of these asus machines coming in this week.

 

going to read through and see if I cannot catch up for a pain free install... my m1530 was such a great machine, that hopefully this one will be somewhat close, in terms of a hackintosh build.

I've got it down to a science. Though I'm not sure if Quaestor has brought the first post completely up to date. At this point, you should be able to make an EFI boot disc, and just install from a 10.6.3 retail disk. I set up a Google Code page with some G60 related downloads. Should give you a good start.

If you look at the end of each USB device they slightly vary in each section.

 

 

so you're saying that it gives this warning upon wake:

 

 

 

 

 

I thought the symbol was supposed to blink, but it should be really easy to make it NOT blink if you do not want it to blink.

 

Usb ports aren't powered off on a REAL mac, so i don't typically do that unless i have a problem PUTTING a machine to sleep (many netbooks and laptops, for example, won't sleep, and an easy "fix" is to remove power from usb in the fashion listed above. This isn't considered the "proper" fix but it is an easy fix which DOES work. If this is what you want, then it should work, yes.

 

 

I will have to test to see if i suffer from the ejection issue, i will report back.

 

 

 

EDIT:

 

 

I DO have this problem, and i just found a new issue. It seems that if i have parallels running, if i put the machine to sleep and bring it back up, it will come up without keyboard and mouse.

 

 

I should be able to solve both. I will work on it and post a solution later. I will also post a solution to the flashing lights if you do not wish this to happen.

[oSxFr33k]

@wonslung,

 

Yes that is the exact error message I get. My Mouse comes up after a couple seconds after sleep. It would be interesting to see the fixes for the disk error. I tried to do as much as I could in the EHC0 and EHC1 script to fix this error and nothing has worked thus far. See my posted DSDT several posts above.

 

The Blinking LED would also be an intersting fix as well.

 

On my Dell XPS M1530 the USB ports do power down. Not sure what the DSDT fix was for the M1530. Thread below. I have gotten a ton of ideas for DSDT fixes in general from immo's thread. Brett Whitmann and others have done a remarkable job on this project. My XPS M1530 runs actually better than a Mac Book Pro. I am serious when I say performance and reliability. Must be lucky with the chipsets.

 

Once we perfect the DSDT, our Asus Boards should be close to a 100% mac clone. In some cases even better than a mac clone

this just boils down to numbers in the dells case. It's a very popular laptop. If we had a dsdt guru who owned our machine, we'd have much better luck. I'm far from a master, though i do know a little. Everything you want CAN be done in dsdt. Powering down the usb ports is easy, but that is NOT what happens on a real mac (on a real mac the usb ports stay powered and when you put something in (say an ipod) it wakes up)

 

 

but if you want the usb powered off, try my second fix, it SHOULD work.

[fragment137]

I'm still having problems putting my laptop to sleep when running MacOS.... I have the DSDT.aml in my /Extra/ folder as well as in my /, but when I try to put the computer to sleep either VIA the Apple menu or by closing the lid, the Keyboard lights stay on, as well as the indicator lights, and I cannot wake the computer up by any means... I have to do a hard shutdown and boot the computer again..

 

I'm a little confused, I have to say, lol....

[oSxFr33k]

@wonslung,

 

Just want to clarify before I try the second fix for each USB device. Just remove the _PWR code which is at the end of each USB device and replace it with:

 

              Name (_PRW, Package (0x02)
                {
                    0x03, 
                    Zero
              })

 

Apply the original _PWR you had for EHC0 and EHC1, correct?

 

DO not apply that fix to the USB correct? Just replace the _PWR at the end of each USB device with Name (_PWR, Package (0x02) ...

 

I just want to make sure that the only DSDT edit for the USB device is the code, Name _PWR... above?

you want to change the ones which have it to look like the above, and add it to the usb devices which do not.

 

It basically tells the system to power down all usb devices when put into sleep state

 

soo all usb devices need it to achieve what you are asking for.

 

 

 

I'm going to start a new dsdt today from scratch....I'll also try to make a post which the fixes i've added or fixes i could add when i get time.

 

 

@fragment, sounds like you need to edit your dsdt and/or remove/add some kexts.

 

 

you should NEVER use someone elses dsdt downloaded from the net....you should always boot wihtout a dsdt, then manually extract and edit yours.

 

If you lack the skillz to do this, then you should extract your dsdt and ask someone who CAN do it to help you.

 

The irc has a lot of people willing to help if you ask nicely.

Thank you, that would actually be a great help. I did compile my own DSDT when I first installed OS X and have been using fixes found in this thread and in others. I'll check on the IRC to see who might be able to help me

[oSxFr33k]

@wonslung,

 

USB is still powered during sleep. We have to think of something else or something else in the USB device is causing it not to power off. Maybe the LED. Is that LED device in any way associated with the USB. What is that LED device called in the DSDT?

 

Maybe this part of the EHCx script needs more work.

 

I have seen different values for the AAPL current in the DSDT which is suppose to fix the USB disk not inserted properly message after wake.

 

I have seen these values so far. 0x03E8, 0x0BB8, 0x09C4.

 

Maybe we have to figure out what current value we need for our Asus Notebooks. Mine is set to 0x03E8 and tried the other two with no luck.

 

"AAPL,current-in-sleep", // to solve a problems with sleep when stick is inserted

0x03E8

 

Is there some Debug DSDT around so one can actually observe which device correlates to which script in the DSDT? I think I saw something over at the ProjectOSX forum on this.

 

Thanks

Man, my brains just don't seem to work anymore; or else this board is really hard to configure, 'cause I'm still not getting notifications... Guess I'll have to check in every day

Some musings:

• FWIW - I'm almost certain that the LED embedded in the lid "glows" (slowly dims and brightens) when the laptop is sleeping under Windows 7. Potentially annoying (apparently 'very annoying' for some people ), but expected behavior. Not to say that it can't be stopped in some way...
  
• FWIW - I've had to do quite a bit of fiddling with both this laptop (Win 7) and my P5Q3 Win 7 desktop to get sleep to happen. In both cases, I had to manually (command-line) take all the USB ports n' hubs out of the list of wake-triggering devices.
  
• I've also had the keyboard and mouse not respond after wake
  
• F1x0r wlan wpa2z plx kthx!!1!
  

 

I haven't edited the "front page" in a while; I need to get around to it...

[Cknoblet]

FWIW - I'm almost certain that the LED embedded in the lid "glows" (slowly dims and brightens) when the laptop is sleeping under Windows 7.

I can attest to this behavior. Yes the LED's blink while the laptop is sleeping under windows, but not when it's hibernating or "deep sleep".

 

I think deep sleep is the goal here since these laptops last about an hour before you need to run to an outlet or switch out the battery. With these DSDT hacks, I think my laptop is deep sleeping. I'm pretty sure it makes itself a hibernate file, but it's obviously confused since it's blinking it's LED's and powered USB's when it should be completely off.

 

OFF TOPIC but good news for our laptops, I got one of the $300 i7-830QM chips from eBay and swapped out my i5. Now I have 8 threads of power! And for those of you that don't know, you can get the internal Bluetooth unit for $15 and a 7800mah (2+ hours) battery for about $55.

[fragment137]

Completely unrelated to my previous postings, but I have an interesting issue that I haven't been able to fix.

 

It has to do with the clock. I have the right time whenever I boot into OS X. It doesn't ever move fast anymore. However, whenever I boot into Windows AFTER having booted into Mac OS X, the clock is 4 hours ahead.

 

This is solved by simply syncing to Internet time again. This won't happen if I boot into Windows right off the bat, only if I boot OS X first, then reboot into windows.

 

Very frustrating when I've been coding in OSX and then want to game on Windows, lol....

 

Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone have a fix? Any help is appreciated

If that looks like chicken scratch, google for a beginner's guide to editing the Windows Registry; not to be rude, but I don't do Windows support - queries will be forwarded to /dev/null

 

I wish I could remember where I found this fix and how to actually do it, but I can tell you that you have to change a Windows Registry entry to tell Windows to use UTC instead of local time (Windows will still compensate properly and display the local time). Google

 

Completely unrelated to my previous postings, but I have an interesting issue that I haven't been able to fix.

 

It has to do with the clock. I have the right time whenever I boot into OS X. It doesn't ever move fast anymore. However, whenever I boot into Windows AFTER having booted into Mac OS X, the clock is 4 hours ahead.

 

This is solved by simply syncing to Internet time again. This won't happen if I boot into Windows right off the bat, only if I boot OS X first, then reboot into windows.

 

Very frustrating when I've been coding in OSX and then want to game on Windows, lol....

 

Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone have a fix? Any help is appreciated

The UTC fix is on Prasy's blog. I've used it myself on two dual-boot machines, it works!

Hello,

 

I wish I had more to contribute to this cool project aside from yet another Atheros WiFi question, but I've seemingly exhausted all relevant material and personal ability trying to figure this out.

 

To the point:

 

I was experiencing the same Airport connected-but-not-connected issue as fragment137, but couldn't retrieve a connection from the Internet (or my router settings page) even after changing the encryption type to open.

 

Furthermore, in an attempt to solve it, I seem to have rendered the IO8211Family kext useless. I've tried installing the 10.6.5 kext several times now, utilizing Kext Helper b7 and Kext Utility. I've also tried installing via command line, repairing permissions afterwards.

 

Currently, Airport will not detect my card and is in permanent Off state. I've gotten it to work every now and then, but invariably destroy those efforts trying to achieve a "real" connection.

 

I'm now at a loss. This is my first working Hackintosh build (never had hardware this compatible), and I'm quite inexperienced in this process. Previous Linux use makes things easier, but I feel as though I might have missed something in the initial setup (DSDT trickery threw me for a loop, maybe something there?). I also seem to be lacking a few files I see listed in various tutorials on this board (/Extra/CMBIOS.plst and others).

 

I suppose I would try a re-install in any other case, but I'd like to view that as a last resort. I currently have a stable OSX build running alongside Win7 with the Chameleon bootloader, and spent the past day and a half getting this far. Any help would be tremendously appreciated.

 

Here are the outputs of everything that seems slightly relevant:

I am following these directions step by step using the newest empire booter and a 10.6 retail disc. my bios is v 206 and its not working. I keep running into a problem every time it goes to start up. I put in empire. Switch to retail. Select the dvd to install from, put in -v. It gives me some line of code so it starts working, then after about 10 seconds maybe it stops and says "Press any key to continue." So when I do the screen goes black and my computer restarts. Does anyone know why this might be? I have the Asus G60JX from best buy as well and it just doesn't want to work for me.

I had a similar issue as well, Rob24. I can't recall the exact procedure that fixed it, as I tried a number of things. What sticks out in my mind, was the fact that my first Empire boot disk was bad. Try re-burning it at a slower speed and verifying it?

 

I also went into my BIOS settings and turned many of the extraneous options off. One of these allowed me to boot into the Snow Leopard installation.

[Rob24]

I'm going to try to burning the Empire disc and also what do you mean by extraneous options? Like which options did you turn off? Because I dont know what is needed or not.

I turned off:

 

Advanced - ASUS FancyStart and Legacy USB Support

Security - All I/O Interfaces Unlocked

Boot - PXE Boot

 

Whether any of these made a difference or not, I'm not sure, but it's the best I can do! I'm leaning towards reburning Empire being your best bet, but these couldn't hurt.
