kdawg Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 What do you do when you have multiple graphic cards? I have an nVidia 8800GT 512 and 8500GT 256. It seems DSDT patcher can only handle one card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I understand it this patcher will only edit DSDT for 1 GFX card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wils Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I have a DFI JR P45-TS2R Motherboard. When I attempt to use this program to do anything with the bios file I get an error and it stops. It complains about the header size to large over original file. Can anyone help? This happens even when I try to just dump the DSDT.DSL file or anything. So I cant even make a file to modify ;\ Attached is the Bios File and I am using a Nvidia 8800GS 384 MB video card. I have the same problem.

VampireMI2 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Hello. I have a big problem. I try ACPI (DSDT) Patcher with INTEL DesktopBoard DG31PR but ACPI Patcher say "can not open bios file" and I attach my bios file. Thanks for your help.

peach-os Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 hi koalala, after several attempts to get a proper dump on my acer 6292, I finally succeded in extracting the acpi.aml from bios with bios editor. using your patcher I created the dsdt.aml. this helped me to ged rid off the -v flag, that was needed before, but still not the cpu=1 flag. Now I´m not sure what still could be the reason. wrong patcher settings? probably the bad bios from acer. attached the fixed dsdt dsdt.dsl.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=SABER= Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Hello, My laptop is Thinkpad X61(with Phoenix bios). I tried to patch my dsdt to get native speedstep, but failed. installed kext: OpenCompatible.kext ( or use chameleon to inject custom smbios.plist) AppleDecrypt.kextApple VoodooPS2Controller.kext ACPIBatteryManager.kext LegacyACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kext (for Native SpeedStep)(download from EvOSx86) If I use patched DSDT.aml , it get kernel panic as the info in the picture. So now I still have to use cpus=1 to boot Leopard 10.5.7 . Here is my original DSDT, SSDT, and patched DSDT. Could anyone help?

kdp Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 ok so i've been running boot132 for over a year, and i've never used dsdt.aml stuff, but i'm reinstalling and it seems ideal to me, can someone please tell me what i'm doing wrong or point me in the right direction? i generated a dsdt.aml via a GUIdsdt app, and then booted windows and tried to use the acpi patcher exe, i have chameleon 2 installed and the dsdt.aml in the root of the leopard partition but its not loading, i don't know if i started off with a wrongly generated aml or what but if someone could just outline the steps that need to be taken for this to work properly for me i'm sure i can figure it out my bios is ami mb is p5w dh deluxe thank yo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezhoon Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I, myself, created gfx dsdt of 8800GT using this great tool and it is working flawlessly under snow. I just hope this isn't abandoned or anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pocker09 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Hey I'm having a lot of problems. I'm a noob to this stuff and there are only two threads relating to my motherboard, neither of which explain how to do it in a noob friendly manner. I have no clue why i'm trying to use this or how i should use it, but i do know that i need to get dsdt.aml. I exported fine, when i try to patch it to .aml i get an error so here it is, any help will be much appreciated. My specs are in my sig.

pocker09 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Well i'm doing it because i'm trying to make my own boot 132 for my motherboard. I know i need the dsdt file to do that, i just don't know exactly what the dsdt file does or how it work. Select Local0 and WAK fixes! This seemed to work. Also, i'm a bit confused as to what options i need for my graphics card. Its a 9800GTX+, i selected 9800GTX. 512mb ram, i chose that. nVCAP not sure which one to choose, i have 2 DVI ports and a s-video port. And i'm not sure what to chose for Hardware location; it's in my first PCI-X slot so i assumed i chose PEX but i'm not sure if PEX actually stands for pci express or not, also in windows it comes up as PCI bus 1. Also i don't know if i should check either of the boxes or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMF Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 For graphics I would now just try Chameleon 2 RC 2. With it you can enable graphics via the bootloader and you don't need to make changes to your DSDT. It's very slick. Regards, SMF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blkhockeypro19 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 This might sound like an extremely nooby question haha, but I dont understand how the dsdt.aml is generated. it keeps asking for a dsdt.aml, but i dont have one, i mean i could make one, but isn't it supposed to generate it on it's own? Am i missing something here? =P Really I do apologize for the noob question, I spent a really long time trying to figure this out =P. What tab should I be under to generate a usable dsdt.aml?

DSDT.aml can either be extracted using fassl's DSDT patcher. Or with this patcher can be extracted from your current BIOS ROM file downloaded from your MB's website.

mitch_de Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 BE careful using bios which are 99% for "same board. Sometimes ASUS has OEM Mainboards (produced not for resale) which need special bios, you can get only from the OEM. An ASUS MB which isnt listet in their support (BIOS update) is an OEM MB. I also had an ASUS OEM Board, OEM was german telecom, which has an bios not compatible with all bios updates available from ASUS. ASUS tech told me to not use them and contact OEM. Sure, OEM doesnt support that 2 year old MB anymore... I would sell your board if you cant get any help for excat that Board. I would write the excat Mainboard Name/Subname here somewhere and ask for an fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FKA Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I'm geting "No DSDT module found in ACPI table" too on the P6T Deluxe V2 BIOS file (Asus). This patcher is know to be a bit buggy with AMi bios. Try extracting DSDT.aml with one of the other patchers (search fassl DSDT patcher). You should be able to further patch (if required.) the DSDT.aml using this patcher. D.
