immo Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 Thanks to everyone for all the support and helpful hints/tips! I've uploaded my latest version of the DSL file for the M1330 (T8300 undervolted but just add your own _PSS values for flavour/flavor). This version also includes SMBusPCI functionality derived from lspci.txt as per immo/FMulder's excellent tips - to verify if correctly loaded search in IORegistry for SMBus and a key with SBus@xx,x (mine is 1f,3) should appear. The SBUS code was adapted from Master Chief's excellent P5K PRO DSDT guide here Worth a look for any aspiring dsl gurus. Let's try and encourage that mindset into evolving our Dell DSDT's similarly! Cheers jkbuha Hi Jkbuha. What is the effect of adding the SBUS code?

jkbuha Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Hi Jkbuha. What is the effect of adding the SBUS code? Thanks Immo In conjunction with LPC (Device (LPCB) in DSDT or modded AppleLPC kext to support your own LPC device from lspci.txt) this should provide proper C-state functionality. Once c-states are properly working, which is not my case unfortunately. I tend to be a stickler for proper device declaration On that note, any hints and tips about how to get C-states working properly for my T8300, with MacBookPro5,1 (or should I change this??)

Cheers jkbuha Sorry not working for me yet either. P.S. I was thinking about the whole MacBookPro5,1 thing, and did some research, and it seems that our computers are closer to a MacBookPro3,1, as it has the same north and south bridge as the M1330 (PM965 and ICH8). My guess that the reason we get better functionality with MacBookPro5,1 is because there may be special case handling in OS-X for the MacBookPro3,1 and MacBookPro4,1 that goofs us up. OS-X is probably designed so that it will work with computers newer than it is familiar with using generic methods. This is purely a guess. Edit: I'm beginning to doubt this theory because I really can't get speed stepping to work with anything but MacBookPro5,1. It looks more like the reverse is true and our computers need the MacBookPro5,1 special case handling.

It looks more like the reverse is true and our computers need the MacBookPro5,1 special case handling. From my own experimentation it appears that speedstep will only work natively with those cpus defined in PLimitDict=0 and StepDataDict=1 section in the ACPI_SMC_Plugin kext (MacPro4,1 is by default excluded, ergo no speedstep). More info here. What I'd like to do (but cannot atm because I don't have a livecd) is to boot into Ubuntu live and see if the SSDT table locations change on runtime as detailed here. If this is true then we would need to do one or more of the following: 1. Change the final destination of the SSDT mapping for CPU0IST, CPU1IST etc 2. Change the mac designation from MacBookPro5,1 to MacPro4,1 in smbios.plist and insert the new designation under PLimitDict and StepDataDict. This worked partially for me (ie: no more cst errors) but the t8300 became very unresponsive once it loaded. At least some progress... 3. Add a kext in E/E to enable vanilla stepping if 2. works but speedstepping doesn't. However it seems that at least one T8300 user out there has managed to implement this in some form: The King. I haven't tried to ping him/her yet but maybe we could get some advice? Well that's my 0.02...!

Cheers jkbuha Would moving SSDT addresses even matter to us if we put our SSDT data in the DSDT.aml file and use the "DropSSDT=y" flag? From what I understand, you'd only see those addresses if you did your dump from OS-X, and from the linux dump you actually get the real content that is in the memory rather than the addresses. So by putting the real data dumped from linux into the DSDT.aml and ignoring the SSDT data in memory you work around the problem. At least that's the way I understand it.

Ah now the DropSSDT flag explains itself That said, I don't think the SSDT tables are the only factor - there's a lengthy _CST method after that which may or may not need to be changed as well depending on whether we're selecting MBP5,1 MP4,1 MP3,1 or otherwise. From the look of things the ACPI_SMC_Plugin may also need to be patched depending on which is chosen. At least that's my reading of the various posts. What do you think?

smartmobili Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Try this one by Chrysaor:http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1242766 So I have modified superhai preboot cd (v0.4) by using Chrysaor DSDT and I managed to install SL but my resolution is in 1280x800 while it should be 1680x1050 ... However I changed resolution in plist file. And it seems there is no 2D/3D acceleration because welcome animation at first boot is very slow. How can I fix that ? I have also noticed my cpu fan is getting crazy sometimes but maybe this is normal. Does a DSDT specify display resolution ? I suppose I need to create custom dsdt for my machine ... UPDATE : I have started to merge dsdt and ssdt as described in tutorial. Result is here. (see myDSDT.dsl) Now I am trying to make a diff between your versions and mine and at first glance it seems we don't use the same acpi decompiler because for instance instead of putting 0x00 or 0x01, version on this thread use String Zero and One. Of course it's not important but it make diff more complicated. So I have replaced string by their value (Zero->0x00 and One->0x01) and now I have some slight differences but I don't know what it means.

immo Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 Hi smartmobili. I do not believe that the DSDT specifies the resolution at all. My guess is that you have not installed your DSDT.aml correctly. Double-check the last section of installing the DSDT, make sure that you've editted and installed the smbios.plist in the /Extra directory, and that the DSDT is called /Extra/DSDT.aml, and that you've set permissions of your /Extra folder. Also make sure that you've set up the boot flag "DropSSDT=y". About the decompiler, it makes no difference. When you compile and decompile with iasl you get those Zeros and Ones.

Thank you for ur reply! I have tried copy/paste more than 5 times, the result is the same. If it is because of bad copy/paste, how can I resolve it? My other question is, are the acpi tables extracted under linux different from those extracted under windows and could this be the reason why sleep/speedstep don't work? kernel flags: dropSSDT=Y kexts:only left voodooHDA in S/L/E and some kexts from chameleon RC3 in E/E permissions: I used kextutility to repair. In fact, I've also used diskutil but no avail. Is the command dependant on version of perl?

Left jack works as headphone jack that cancels the speakers, and middle as line out that can be selected as an alternate output. Audio over HDMI does NOT work Use this VoodooHDA: http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.php?...ic=355&st=0 I've heard that AppleHDA conflicts with it, so I've removed it to be safe. Only catch is that if it is enabled when you put your lappy to sleep, the sound will become VERY staticy when it wakes up. To work around this, use sleepwatcher to unload the kext on sleep, and reload it on wake up.

FMulder Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Use this VoodooHDA:http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.php?...ic=355&st=0 I already use that one, but nothing thank you anyway Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/190780-guide-making-a-dsdtaml-for-dell-xps-m1330-xps-m1530-and-xps-m1730/page/2/#findComment-1307700 Share on other sites More sharing options...
golden3159 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 EDIT: never mind, it was a very noob problem. But I do have some questions here. What, exactly is supposed to work after this is done? I have done all the steps and here is a run down of what works and doesn't work: Works: USB GFX Sound (with Voodoo kext) Webcam Keyboard (works but is not recognized) Battery (installed VodooBattery) Doesn't work: Speedstep Bluetooth Trackpad scrolling Ethernet This actually leads me to another question - I was under the impression that a properly made DSDT.aml would eliminiate the need for kexts. Isn't it supposed to make the hardware work with OSX? Specifically, I was wondering if the sound/battery should have at least worked with my modified kext. I'm not quire sure what went wrong with the speedstep, i'll have to give it another try. In fact, the only thing that really was fixed in my dsdt modification was the USB. Question 2 : The only step I skipped was the following: Required: Using DSDT Patcher to do Final Patches:In the DSDT Patcher directory run the following command: Do you think not using DSDT patcher was responsible for my problems? I thought that was just an optional tool to automatically apply fixes. Question 3: I had to AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement (otherwise I got kernel panics). Did I do something wrong here?
