Yeah.

Especially the shutdown (some GA Boards reboot insted) and wakeup seems to be a problem with dsdt (poszed this here).

 

I also found out some ??? about fixes in the WAK and USB devs(its one of the first automatic fixes of the dsdt tools).

 

Normaly:

... Method (_WAK, 1, NotSerialized)

....

Notify (\_SB.PCI0.USB0, Zero)

Notify (\_SB.PCI0.USB1, Zero)

Notify (\_SB.PCI0.USB2, Zero)

Notify (\_SB.PCI0.USB3, Zero)

Notify (\_SB.PCI0.USB4, Zero)

Notify (\_SB.PCI0.USB5, Zero)

Return (Package (0x02)

{

Zero,

Zero

})

}

--------

In the USB part (GA have more than 5 USB Ports) we find more USB named things.

Device (USB0)

Device (USB1)

Device (USB2)

Device (USB3)

Device (USB31)

Device (USB4)

Device (USB5)

Device (USBE)

Device (USE2)

These are also listed in the IoRegistryExplorer.

 

I dont have problems with USB, but maybe that WAK may include some more devices at the end ?

 

Also it would be great if some dsdt hero could (for testing) tell us in which part of the dsdt we have to look, if without dsdt shutdown / sleep+wakeup works, with dsdt (no errors in compiling!) THAT DIDNT WORK anymore.

So that issue (shutdown/reboot/sleep+wakeup) must be somewhere in the generated dsdt fixes.

I use OpenHalt Restart and tested without it. Then my mac can shutdown anymore if removed (same with/without dsdt).

I've done some massive DSDT editing to my GA-P35-DS3L and I'll have to test some of my settings, but sleep, shutdown, restart all work flawlessly. I'm on bios F9a and Leopard 10.5.7 beta. I'll have to try my latest DSDT with 10.5.6 again. As far as restart/shutdown is concerned, I use the latest VoodooPower.kext from Superhai. It does both speedspeeding and fixes the restart/shutdown issue everyone has. Also I didn't do any tricks in Leopard to fix sleep. I.E. selecting power settings in Energy Saver, using third party usb drivers, etc.

 

Roisoft and myself are still doing a lot of edits and would like to start a thread of what we've done/learned. I think DSDT is the future of fixing/injecting a lot of things. It really is amazing when done properly. :whistle:

Thanks, i have an different BIOS / Boadr GA-EP35-DS3 /F3 (latest stable).

Can you post here your dsdt.dsl (zipped, readable not the .aml) ?

I can look in and check whats different.

Because its really funny, why aktivating dsdt (by an dsdt.aml found) my GA-EP35 cant wake up (sleep works, wakeup=reboot) and an friends GA goes to restart if he select shutdown (also when he disable dsdt it works).

Which bootloader do you use (chameleon v11 ode PCEFI V9).

Anyone knows if my wakeup problem (reboots) is because pcefiV9 made some changes how he set the

pc to sleep and wake up ? I mean different hibernate modes. I have S3 (supend to RAm in BIOS) and dont have that deep sleep mode enabled (Mode 3) for usage of the sleepimage file.

 

I asked several times in the PCEFI V9 thread whats that "-nowake" is for or what mode PCEFIV9 use - no answer .

 

I have pmset -g (terminal )

e180049014:~ ami$ pmset -g

Active Profiles:

AC Power -1*

Currently in use:

sleep 0

displaysleep 3

hibernatefile /var/vm/sleepimage

ttyskeepawake 1

autorestart 0

hibernatemode 0

powerbutton 0

disksleep 0

Hi . just wondering if ur patcher can resolve the shared memory graphic card like mine.. geforce 7000M ? I have been experimenting with the dsdt from MP5.1 which uses 9400M shared memory graphic card but to no avail. Is there a template for nforce/MCP DSDT?

GMA950: Please include the "Final solution (FIX) for GMA950 Desktop edition" from this thread: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=143340

 

This allows desktop GMA950 users to use STOCK graphics kexts and have no artefacts.

 

The windows version already included this, so this one will probably include it too.

Today i use ACPI patcher for enabling ATI 3650 in ECS G31T-M7 10/100 Ethernet Edition without acpi fix.

With the DSDT.aml from DSDT Patcher, the 3650 only create the blue screen.

The ACPI Patcher was sucessful, but i must use USB Keyboard and USB Mouse, the Attansic L2 driver not sucessful and the process shutdown was not finish...but the restart was sucessful.

 

Here 's my ioreg

http://paste2.org/p/160943

 

I think the ATI is in P0P2 and the Attansic L2 is in the p0p4

HI...

 

I would like to use DSDT.aml for my 7600GS 128 MB with TV-out.....

 

with this patcher I've tried all 3 options with tv-out but I got screen on TV and black screen on LCD....hardware accel. and QE works....

 

I had the same problem with nvinject.... but with natit it works ....detects screens and got working LCD+TV....

 

the only different thing is NVMT.....

 

can I add it???

 

can someone help with it???

Hello

This is my output from IORegistryExplorer

what pci should i use for my Ethernet and should i use en0 or GIGE (What's the difference?)

Thanks

 

??? you compressed the IORE.app in the .zip, NOT the output of IORE !!!

You can see that your LAN has PCI PEX4, so use that.

I would say that en0 or GIGE doenst matter.

But dont forget to set TM fix (down right) !

 

If you do this, the LAN will set from IOBUILDIN = false to true, which is needed for TM !

Hello!

Tried to run the laptop HP 8710w ACPI Patcher from the Patcher02Beta4 package to create your DSDT file and received a reply that there were no tables DSDT in BIOS.

Start ACPIScope, which showed the existence of all, anything-but-DSDT-table. There SSDT, HPET, FADT, XSDT and RSDT.

Is it possible to use it to create a DSDT-patch Mac OS.

Installed Leo 10.5.6 from the original disc using a CD-Chameleon on the external USB-HDD.

Axes itself is not bad, but start 6 min and slip away in 1-2 minutes.

 

HP 8710w

Intel Core 2 Duo T9300

2Gb

200Gb HDD

NV Quadro FX3600M

Intel 82566MM Gigabit

Intel 4965 Wi-Fi (Broadcom 4311)

Works almost everything:

Video - all screen resolution, QE - No

Network - does not work after the slip, you need a reboot.

The sound - only the dynamics of a laptop.

I have two versions of the file and the BIOS firmware on both 1024KB:

1. 68MAD.BIN

2. Rom.BIN

Question: Is it possible to extract from these tables DSDT files on another PC?

 

Thank you.

Thanks mitch_de

Now my Ethernet works with TM support.

I also deleted OpenHaltRestart and Disabler kext's and everything working fine.

Two more questions if you don't mind:

1.Do I still need AppleDecrypt kext?

2.My video card is working with pci@0 and PEGP marked but i get this "errors" on boot:

Yes you will always need that or the dsmos.kext.

2.My video card is working with pci@0 and PEGP marked but i get this "errors" on boot:

Does the rest of my log is "error free"? :rolleyes:

 

Thanks

 

That is normal as far as I can tell as it has always shown up in my boot messages the rest of it looks good too you don't even get the firewire unable to determine security error the firewire still works mind you with this error but yours appears to be seen as a native OS X chip.

There is an new V 0.5 with some Gigabyte changes i dont understand on DL site 1.

 

 

FaceWizard is a tool to create a custom bootscreens.

It can read & write BIOS files for gigabyte MB.

 

I suppose (as I can read) he uses a dll from FaceWizard to write the patch to the BIOS file (for gigabyte)

 

 

But I could be totally wrong ofcourse :unsure:

Yes it is.

The awd.dll from Facewizard is a cbrom version but not executable.

There is awdrun.exe to launch it which is a file from FaceWizard too.

This version is dated from ~06/2008 (last cbrom is ~11/2007) so it should be more compatible and it could solve some DualBIOS / double beep problem since there is no problem when modifying logo with Gigabyte program.

 

I found nobody using this on the internet. But since cbrom is outdated, I tried to find a solution.

For those who want to use FaceWizard for modifying other BIOS :

 

Usage :

awdrun jimmy /acpi NEWACPI.bin
awdrun jimmy /logo NEWLOGO.bmp
awdrun jimmy /oem1 release
...

 

Don't use it for extracting, this is not reliable (0A are replaced by 00). But for reinserting it seems to be more reliable. /d switch isn't supported

 

jimmy is needed, I don't know what it is but I found this after analazing the program with an hex editor. Without jimmy, the program does nothing.

Hi Koalala, Please I need a bios mod for my Asus P5Q-E (not 0803) because it has a 1703 and I can´t flash it.

 

I have a Q6600 with 2 GB RAM DDR2 800MHz and HD 3870 1 GB

BIOS Link http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=8273cbd...04e75f6e8ebb871

ORIGINAL Link http://support.asus.com/download/download....amp;model=P5Q-E

 

 

I upload the new 1901 bios !

 

Many thanks Koalala

Download the ACPI Patcher from the first post in this thread, run it under Windows (any PC, if you don't have Windows use a friends PC or virtual PC with Windows under OSX) create dsdt.aml and place it at the root of your OSX86 boot volume. You don't need to flash or mod your BIOS.

 

The only way to downgrade the BIOS on P5Q series ASUS boards is to use AFUDOS, which you can grab in the download section for your motherboard at ASUS' website. You can run it from a bootable pen drive or floppy.
