Hello

 

It is really a good news that Vaio internal screen is finally working. This is a very old problem (4 or 5 years old ?). Congratulations jl4c !

 

I have also a Vaio :

 

VPCF11C5E

GT330m nvidia

CPU core i5

 

This model is very close to the one of Alexei.

 

Only HDMI output is working.

 

jl4c, could you please have a look to my DSDT ? I attached dsdt, lspci, ioreg and edid files.

 

Thank you

niresh is a problem, you need as most vanilla os x.

this is a good explanation how to do that

#######

you need to install clover efi with default settings and add only FakeSMC.kext

place jl4c's dsdt.aml in right place, activate nvidia injector, and you can even boot installer with nvidia and full resolution on internal screen.

Also i recommend to disable all clover-related dsdt fixes and enable them one by one only if they are needed.

Be sure that nothing oem dropped in config.

USB injection also can be enabled.


jl4c: Do you have a paypal?

 

I think we can all buy a big box of beer for jl4c for his work ;-)

For sure... this is my intention... to make a donation to this kind of expert guys..hehe.. I`ll do this as soon as I get my system working ok..

 

Just one question before I try this new installer... did you use Legacy Mode or EFI mode ? I think EFI mode does not work for me... I think..

 

Also.. Are you using SSDT ? Did you extract it using macASL or something like that ?

@jl4c,

 

could you please help me again ? I installed clover in a flash usb and I'm trying to fix the internal monitor problem... if you remind, you edited my dsdt. I was using chameleon boot loader and I only got black screen. The internal monitor turns on but only show black.. the hdmi connected to a tv show the image correctly.. 

 

now I'm using clover and the problem is the same... turned on black screen on monitor and hdmi working ok... I attached the ioreg 

 

could you please take a look ? Thanks !

OK, test this dsdt...

@ tchospy:

 

My sony laptop have UEFI brain but boot devices from MBR anyway. So UEFI mode is not available for me.

DSDT! not ssdt. If you have already fixed DSDT from jl4c you can try to get installer working with nvidia on internal screen - no need to install os x to check that patched dsdt is working for your laptop.

@tchospy:

 

attach clover config.plist and list of kexts in /EFI/clover/kexts/10.9 directory

@art.sormy,

 

I've attached the file.

 

Inside kexts/10.9 I only put FakeSMC.kext as you said..

 

 

When I put The edited dsdt from jl4c The screen turns on but only shows Black.

I think so... I used an application on windows 8 and extracted the edid infos.. 

I`m attaching the files generated to you.

WOW !!!! It's working !!!! The internal screen is working nicely !!!!

You are a genius jl4c ! I hope you will explain one of these days how you solved this very old and frustrating problem for vaio users with nvidia chip...

 

For people interested in my configuration, I have a Vaio (model VPCF11C5E with nvidia GT330m) and I'm using chameleon boot loader with GraphicsEnabler=1 and the dsdt provided by jl4c above (file ludof.zip).

I placed the dsdt.aml file in the /Extra folder and it's working immediately after reboot. Nothing special in my configuration.

 

Now, I gonna to play with my new Hackintosh...

 

Thanks a lot jl4c !

Congrats man... I have a vaio VPCF13BFX and it's not working with this.. hehe... I think the problem is Geforce GT 425M or I'm doing something wrong.. hehe..

 

Or maybe F13 uses a different way to recognize the monitor.. :/

 

Which distro are you using ? Niresh? My hack ? ML2 ?

I'm using ML2

 

After playing a little, all is ok but the fan is a little bit noisy...

 

I wanna try another distro.. I think Niresh is full of bugs... today I received an email saying that I've downloaded an app in app store... location: Marroco but I'm from Brazil hehe.. This distro has lots of undiscovered things... stay away from this..

Hi guys,

 

I was quite busy these last days but finally was able to continue the tests on my VAIO.

 

@jl4c:

I tried both versions of DSDT.aml you sent me (v1 and v2) but the results are similar to art.sormy's, that is:

MSRDumper.kext: no P states at all

DPCIManager: P states vary as (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13) according to the processor load (7=idle, 13=heavy work)

 

Also, AppleLPC.kext does not load.

 

 

 

You are right, my 88e8057 didn't work. It's just shown in system as available and shown in ifconfig.

Try this one kext http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/35-marvell-yukon-88e8056-108-1085/

 

Got the same results with this one: it doesn't work, doesn't detect the network cable.

 

 

One of solutions is to buy sony laptop compatible WLAN card ($20-30) which is also compatible with os x (like mine, for example, with broadcom bluetooth and atheros wireless).

Also you can buy usb ethernet adapter ($10) or usb wireless adapter ($10) but they will eats usb slots.

 

 

What is the exact model of your WLAN card? Is it the stock one or did you replace it? Does it work on OSX out of the box? I'd rather buy a WLAN card as long as it is 100% compatible.

 

Regarding your touchpad's issues, try this modified version of VoodooPS2:

 

http://www.hackintoshosx.com/files/file/3896-alps-multitouch-trackpad-kext-for-mavericks/

 

This one still have minor issues but is by far the best one I found (anyways, my VAIO touchpad is crappy even on Windows). You should be able to tweak it on Trackpad (System Preferences) wich is quite nice.

 

Did you manage to fix the "About this Mac" bug?

 

Finally, can you share your Clover's config.plist? I think I messed up mine because the power button is not working any more :)

 

 

Thanks guys!

Check PM with MSRDumper and reply with results...

For brightness check the slider display on preferences

MSRDumper do not show that P-states reachable.

But hwmonitor showing changing cpu clock ratio from 7 to 12

and another tool DPCIManager showing me that p-states reachable

and AppleLPC is loaded.

Is it sufficient to treat that power management is works?

 

Brightness regulator disappeared after installing Kozlek's kext.

I will remove it and reply additionally if it helps.

Also, AppleLPC.kext does not load.

LAST patched dsdt from jl4c for my laptop shows that AppleLPC is loaded.

 

What is the exact model of your WLAN card? Is it the stock one or did you replace it? Does it work on OSX out of the box? I'd rather buy a WLAN card as long as it is 100% compatible.

WLAN card has:

- Atheros AR9287 [168c:002e]

- Broadcom Bluetooth [0489:E00F]

It's vanilla WLAN card which comes with my laptop, I didn't buy any other parts for laptop, except SSD drive.

And yes, both works out of the box. Just apply fix airport in Clover EFI and wifi will become available. Bluetooth works out of the box with no any patches/fixes.

 

Did you manage to fix the "About this Mac" bug?

 

It crashes because can't get RAM information because Sony didn't report that in right way. You need to inject memory information via Clover config.plist

 

Finally, can you share your Clover's config.plist? I think I messed up mine because the power button is not working any more :)

 yes: attached

Alexei Leonov, thank you for link. It's RehabMan VoodooPS2Controller but older version. And it works perfect!!!

Just a few settings in preferences/trackpad and it works perfect:

* remove two finger click => secondary click feature (on other case it will not allow to use normally two finger scroll)

* enable double tap to drag

* two finger scroll works perfectly

Also, i identified version of kext on link: it's RehabMan-Voodoo-2013-1205.zip v1.8.9
