NickThompson Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Hi, Attached is my "send_me.zip"send_me.zip I have a HP Envy 17 2101ea (Reference Manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02772484.pdf) Spec summary: CPU: Intel i7 2630QM 2.0Ghz RAM: 6Gb DDR 1333 RAM Graphics: - Intel HD 3000 (Vendor: 0x8086, Device: 0x0116, Revision ID: 0x0009) - ATI Radeon 6850 1Gb DDR5 (Vendor: 0x1002, Device: 0x68a8, Revision: 0x0000) Chipset: HM67 It was installed using Chameleon. I have installed Chimera 1.5.4. SMBios is set to MacBookPro8.1 Currently it recognises the Radeon if I boot with GraphicsEnabler=Yes, however it cannot find a kext for the Intel HD 3000. It defaults to 1024x768 (or 1280x1024 if I try to force the native res of 1920x1080 via Chameleon boot plist). I can only with cpus=1 and either -x or -f. *ANY* help appreciated :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickThompson Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 dsdt.NickThompson.zipcpus=1? you need a kernel mod for HP Hi - thanks for the *REALLY* quick response! Much appreciated. I was late back last night so didn't get a lot of time to try that DSDT, but I did install it into my extras folder and tried to boot - however there appears to be a problem... I tried all my usual combinations of -x, -f and -v, but I always ended up with the same result; a black screen. The system doesn't appear to freeze though as the hard drive light occasionally flickers. I would imagine this to be a display issue? Come to think of it I don't remember whether or not I tried GraphicsEnabler - would that be required? As for the cpus=1 issue, I have searched for a kernel mod for HP but haven't seen anything particularly relevant. The only reference I've ever seen to this was when I was playing with DSDTSE and there was a fix for the "cpus=1 issue" which involved deleting any Alias lines from the CPU definition in the DSDT; however I couldn't see any when I tried. Quick question - how do you turn around these DSDT's for people so quickly? Is it experience or do you have a suite of funky tools to help too?

Gamamou Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I tried all my usual combinations of -x, -f and -v, but I always ended up with the same result; a black screen.

Come to think of it I don't remember whether or not I tried GraphicsEnabler - would that be required? If you are still experiencing the black screen issue with your laptop try the following once it finishes booting up: increase the brightness by pressing F3 key directly. I encountered the same behavior with my HP ENVY14T, when I tried Ubuntu on it. I would install properly and boot up, but once it is up the screen goes completely black. I got the hint from another website for Ubuntu users: http://forum.notebookreview.com/hp-envy-hd...-envy-14-a.html. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
