BogdanFa Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 I suspect you'd have better results by not using the dsdt.aml from burzel since his has at least a few couple of modifications just for Snow. I'd make the modifications directly to the Leopard dsdt.dsl and compile it yourself. I'm pretty sure it works in Leopard since that is where the changes were uncovered. Thank you for the advice. I've ran the dsdt compiler you mentioned with the NVCAP string from your post, ignored the warnings and sorted out an error (NVH7 method not returning a value), installed the compiled dstd.aml with the tool and repaired permissions. The result is the same : the system boots OK with only the DVI connected but both screens turn black (and then in standby mode) as soon as I connect the VGA display and click "detect diaplays". Update : It works, after several reboots. Thank you dlach ! The only thing remaining now it's that the boot process is showing on the VGA display and not on the DVI one. Any ideas ?

Thank you very much. If you patch your BIOS with the new dsdt.aml you built using Koalala's patcher (in the forums), you'll have a better chance of it using the DVI for boot since the way the dsdt is being applied now is by Chameleon at some time during boot. If it is in the bios it might be activated earlier. Don't be afraid of the patcher it works well though only on windows (however it doesn't have to patched on the machine you'll be installing it on.). Needless to say it probably isn't a good idea to patch an already patched bios. The other thing is to look for some way to indicate the primary display in the dsdt. Search is your friend there. Please post back here when you find something. Also please post your dsdt.dsl so that anyone using Leopard can benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adidasprince Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Haven't been around in a while, but check post 235 to see how I did it.________________________________________ adidasprince, Have you submitted this patch to the voodoo team - link in this thread? They may be able to include it in future iterations. This board is awesome, it just needs a more accessible vram solution so that newbies are not scared off by it. That's a great idea! But my patch is not a universal solution and just works for our e7aum right now. Simply merging some code from Linux kernel would work perfectly. I will try to find some time to complete my patch.

wally007 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Nope really meant OpenCL as in Open Computer Language, i.e. doing computations on the GPU in stead of the CPU. As SnowLeopard does support OpenCL for the 9400M, its interesting the use the 16 cuda cores for computation. -X [Platform 0] Name: Apple Vendor: Apple Version: OpenCL 1.0 (Oct 16 2009 04:12:08) Profile: FULL_PROFILE [OpenCL-only Context] 2 OpenCL devices found!

Audio, which is using AppleHDA, does not work after resume, but ethernet works. So i think i got a "real" sleep. Here's my process: I have only IDE DVD drive, so i didn't got the BootCD method worked. I installed SL and my chameleon patch into a usb hdd from another 10.6.2 laptop. After that, i copied kexts to /E/E which followed your guide from 7) - 18). Without those kexts, i can't get SL booted. Boot SL first time. After account things done, i installed nForceLAN 0.64.3 which is from the original thread and got ethernet worked without restarting. I'll try the upgrading today or tomorrow after me backuped the current SL. see you later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I upgrade SL to 10.6.2 and got nForeceLAN worked normally but the sound. So weird...... Here's the little more detailed process: I have only IDE DVD drive, so i didn't got the BootCD method worked. I installed SL and my chameleon patch into a usb hdd from another 10.6.2 laptop. After that, i copied kexts to /E/E which followed your guide from 7) - 18). Without those kexts, i can't get SL booted. AND, I DELETED nvenet.kext FROM IONetworkFamily. Boot SL first time. After account things done, i installed nForceLAN 0.64.3 by the installer package which is from the original thread and got ethernet worked without restarting. Remove SleepEnabler to upgrade to 10.6.2. After upgrading, i didn't boot into SL but the old 10.5.8 on internal sata hdd. Delete nvenet.kext FROM IONetworkFamily again. Then, after restarted into SL, i copied new SleepEnabler into /E/E. Without it, SL didn't sleep. Check ethernet sleep/resume issue ... didn't happened ... Sound problem still.

tomtefar Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Possible fix for sound and LAN not working after sleep: I had a Mac which had a really weird behaviour in that when it woke from sleep the networkport (en0) was woken only 7 out of 10 times. This was fixed by installing SleepWatcher and then editing the installed files /etc/rc.wakeup to add these lines: kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworking.../...Contents.. / Plugins ../AppleRTL8169..kext sleep 2 kextload /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworking.../...Contents.. / Plugins ../AppleRTL8169..kext before any other lines of script "code" in /etc/rc.wakeup (sorry about not giving the full and correct path to the kext, I can't remember it and I'm not using a Mac now. You obviously need to give a correct path to your kext...) This should be possible to do with the kexts for LAN and sound in the case of this thread also. Maybe one might need to add the unloading to /etc/rc.sleep (also installed by SleepWatcher) instead? Hope this helps! Would be really interesting to get some feedback on the idea... For more ideas on how/for what to use SleepWatcher see macosxhints.com. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebound Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Possible fix for sound and LAN not working after sleep: Install SleepWatcher and then editing the installed files /etc/rc.wakeup to add these lines: kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworking.../...Contents.. / Plugins ../AppleRTL8169..kext sleep 2 kextload /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworking.../...Contents.. / Plugins ../AppleRTL8169..kext before any other lines of script "code" in /etc/rc.wakeup Excellent idea! I tried this, and so far, it does not work. I get a kernel panic... the first time I've gotten a kernel panic, ever, since starting this project (which shows how fantastic this guide is). Fortunately, the KP only occurs when I resume from sleep, so it's very simple to re-edit rc.wakeup. (i.e., don't be afraid to try this, it won't mess your system up) There is a lot more to experiment with... I may have done this wrong, here's what I did: kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext sleep 2 kextload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext If I do this at the command line, it unloads and re-loads sound. I think I will continue this experimentation, like so: 1) Test it at the command line (unload the driver, sleep the computer, resume, re-load the driver) 2) Try it differently: Instead of unload/reload at wakeup, unload at sleep, and load at wakeup. 3) Post this in the hope that somebody tells me I'm a dummy and I need to invoke these commands differently, or on a different kext, or maybe on an item several folder layers inside the kext.

rblissitt Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I see now that the max and min frequencies on my Q9300 are the same, while my NBI-installed netbook has a min value that is half the max value. So this VoodooPState.kext won't conflict with the required NullCPUPowerManagement.kext? I have no reason to be concerned other than the words "NullCPUPowerManagement" seem to be at odds with this Voodoo kext that lowers the power consumption of the CPU. :-) I have nothing more than that on which to base my concern..

Rule of thumb: the less custom kexts absolutely needed, the better. i.e., NullCPU, Voodoo, etc... Processor stepping, as with most other system functions, can be handled natively using dsdt, which is where EVERYONE should be. Don't be afraid of AppleIntelCPUPM unless your processor starts to want to cook you some eggs. -zd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
