GA-EX58 and GA-X58A DSDT native power management modifications

[ANARCHiNTOSH]

ok d00d, i wrote a dummy injector kext thanks to this guide:

http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=798

all it is, is a legacy macpro4_1.plist that you edit from the info.plist of the kext

it goes in E/E/

 

 

please can people test if the cpu is stepping or not with my kext

im not sure how i would go about testing for something like that

 

i attached it, please can people test it. (it does nothing averse but i am not sure if it works)

its an alpha, but it wont harm your system - when i rebooted i got no KP.

---its only alpha because im not sure if it works.

 

i called it cpuimprover to indicate its general nature of not just enabling speedstepping,

(but by default speedstepping is enabled)

---if overclocking people need to alter MacPro4_1, they can just edit the kext's

info plist in /Extra/Extensions, rather than delve into S/L/E/blah/blah/blah

 

 

 

should be a nice way to give n00bs speedstep and a neater alternative to OC'ers swapping plists.

if it works, maybe versions of it could be preconfigured for a variety of stable OCs.

EDIT: Did not work, dummy kext cannot be applied to MacPro4_1.plist

ANARCHiNTOSH Your Alpha Kext is not working for me. You can see if its working with ioregistryexplorer. Search for smc. If you have under ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin the entry CpuPlimit 0x0 it would be working. If you dont have this entry its not working.

 

Quote the King at projectosx: "Guess you are referring to variable p-states..

Yes on 10.6.2 they changed SMC_Platform_Plugin.kext now the config data goes to Resources instead Info.plist.

AFAIK you can not hack it like before(using dummy.kext) only way is to edit SMC_Platform_Plugin.kext Resources in /S/L/E.. or use MacPro3,1 as model name as before...

Until someone will figure out how we can set CPUPLimit to 0 w/o touching the kext.

Sorry for bad news."

 

You can load the whole modded ioPlatformPluginFamily.kext from /Extra/Extension. Attached is my modded kext. Put it in /Extra/Extensions and repair Permissions (run Contis pfix script)

Hey guys,

 

I don't have this option in Energy Saver: "Start up automatically after power failure"

 

What can I do to have it back in Energy Saver?

 

Thanks

 

 

Why am I missing this?

Sleep is working without any issues!

AppleLPC.kext is loaded..deleting the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist in User/Library/preferences/SystemConfiguration doesn't work!

 

What can I do now?

 

Thanks

ah ok, thanks for the info. so dummy kext will not work.

i believe it is still possible to enable steedstep from kext, but it would require a kext executing actual file operations.

(physically replacing MacPro4_1.plist)

this could be possible, but it requires knowledge of the coding language C, which i dont have.

probably easier just to edit plist.

Hey Guys,

 

I followed this thread and did a lot of reading but I can't get a stable system when I turn on the following options in BIOS: C1E, C3/C6/C7, and EIST.

I just get spontaneous reboots without any KP.

 

I did try with only fakesmc, nullpowermanagment in /Extra and mkext (without dsdt.aml) but even then I get those reboots or don't get it booted because of reboots.

With the upper options in BIOS disabled all is working fine.

I also played with turbo on and off but no difference.

 

I just try to get a stable system, not OC'ed but with native PM. So made a good dsdt following the first post but still no luck while i'm certainly not a n00b with these things.

Just installed a very clean vanilla 10.6.3 with C2R4 loader but reboots occurs with C1E, EIST etc...

 

Any suggestions? I attached my default dsdt.dsl and my own patched.dsl

 

Thanks

UPDATE: it seems I only can't turn on C1E, the rest is enabled now and stable but ofcourse I need C1E.

Why does my system not boot but reboots at loading when C1E enabled at stock speed? (i7 920)

 

UPDATE2: Hmm...maybe I got it some by raise my BLCK a little bit from 133 to 150. It looks like stable now

Hello Gentlemen,

I have a question for you: if you managed to put in DSDT graphics section?

For me everything works correctly if I GraphicsEnabler = Yes in com.apple.boot.plist.

I tried to add to this section DSDT (GraphicsEnabler turned off in com.apple.boot.plist = No):

 

Device (GFX) 
{ 
Name (_ADR, Zero) 
Name (_SUN, One) 
Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)

} 
}, Local0) 
DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0)) 
Return (Local0) 
} 
}

 

The whole in PCI0 section:

Name (_ADR, 0x00)
Name (_UID, 0x01)
Name (_BBN, 0x00)
Device (GFX) 
{ 
Name (_ADR, Zero) 
............ 

 

but after a reboot, the graphics are not working ....

 

 

I came back from GraphicsEnabler = Yes in com.apple.boot.plist but not deleting the section of the DSDT and this is what I received in IORegistryExplorer:

DSDT injection:

 

GraphicsEnabler:

 

 

in SystemProfiler / PCI Cards:

 

Question: How can I add this section to the DSDT if I do not have (I can not find) in the DSDT pci-bridge device no matter which 1,2,3 ....

 

Attached is also my DSDT, has anyone of you have any ideas?

 

dsdt.txt

 

 

P.S. Sorry for my bad English...

Try by changing the UID in Device PCI0 from 1 to 0. I had to do that too to get the graphics-enabler working.

Device (PCI0)
{
Name (_HID, EisaId ("PNP0A03"))
Name (_ADR, 0x00)
Name (_UID, 0x01) <----- change it to 0x00
Name (_BBN, 0x00)
Device (GFX) 
{ 
Name (_ADR, Zero) 
............

BiTRiP thanks for the tip but unfortunately after the revision of DSDT nad reboot graphic doesn't work... (only one resolution)

 

-------Edited-----------

add to not litter

added to the EFI String com.apple.coot.plist but unfortunately it also does not work. I have no idea what could be the cause. For Leopard and EFI String or DSDT Injection, everything worked smoothly ...

if you want to fix your gfx in your dsdt you need to edit your dsdt like this. Important is the adress Name (_ADR, 0x00030000) -this is for the gfx installed in the first slot. nvcap is for dual dvi. Change vram 0x38 = 896 ( 0x10=256, 0x20=512, 0x40=1024mb)

It works! But one question SystemProfiler values are given incorrectly ROM Revision with commas and Slot11 .... What could be the cause?

 

[aschar1]

Morganpl that is all only cosmetic

 

 

1. the slot number can simply be changed by changing value for SUN (Slot Unit Number)

 

change line Name (_SUN, 0x0B) to Name (_SUN, ONE) for slot 1

or to Name (_SUN, 0x03) for slot 3

 

2. if you add signs to rom revision or model the buffer value is incorrect . Let the compiler calculate it for you - just delete the value in the example 0x0D and leave the brackets. After recompiling the compiler sets the correct buffer value

"model",

change Buffer (0x0D) to Buffer ()

 

do the same with rom revision

[morganpl]

aschar1 thank you very much, now reported correctly in SystemProfiler.

Once again, thanks for your help!

With best regards!

 

P.S.

d00d I think we would be glued to the first post:)

You can get with this method dual Graphics Cards working. Graphicsenabler of the bootloader supports only 1 Graphics Card. The following example is for 2 GTX275 placed in slot 1 and 2. If you use Slot 1 and Slot 3 change adress in PEG2 from Name (_ADR, 0x00070000) to Name (_ADR, 0x00090000). SLI is not supported in OSX, but you can connect 4 Monitors.

Now it ofen KPs when I Use the SL 10.6.3,it seems the CPU Overclocked not very well,but it woks very well in windows 7,how can I fix it?

You can get with this method dual Graphics Cards working. Graphicsenabler of the bootloader supports only 1 Graphics Card. The following example is for 2 GTX275 placed in slot 1 and 2. If you use Slot 1 and Slot 3 change adress in PEG2 from Name (_ADR, 0x00070000) to Name (_ADR, 0x00090000). SLI is not supported in OSX, but you can connect 4 Monitors.

 

ooooo! thank you very useful for sure in the future, I hope that Apple will go after the senses and begins to use nVidia's solutions, such as Adobe ...

Sorry for off top but I have to show it to you (as someone obviously has not seen before) It is said that soon will launch a new Mac Pro's (see what they put guts ....) but now it is the object of my interest .....

has anyone else been unable to get x.di's LegacyHDA.kext to work on 10.6.3?

Ive tried both the dsdt code mentioned in d00ds first post for it, and the dsdt in the post that

x.di attached his LegacyHDA.kext to.

 

i installed the kext to /e/e/ and am using the vanilla 10.6.3 AppleHDA.kext

 

whatever i do, i cannot make it work, maybe this is because my machine is not a fresh install.

 

my scripted patcher worked fine, but im desperate for 7.1 analog audio

[Going Bald]

on if you only want selected modifications, or just like doing it yourself.

 

There are significant differences in the dsdt.dsl file from each GA-EX58 model I've seen so far, but the GA-X58A models differ only in the address base in `Device (PCI0.EXPL)'.

I'm looking for an unmodified dsdt.dsl from the following boards (*);

GA-EX58-EXTREME *

GA-EX58-UD5

GA-EX58-UD4P

GA-EX58-UD4 *

GA-EX58-DS4 *

GA-EX58-UD3R revision 1.7 *

GA-EX58-UD3R revision 1.6

GA-EX58-UD3R revision 1.0

GA-EX58-UD3R-SLI *

GA-X58A-UD7

GA-X58A-UD5 *

GA-X58A-UD3R

.

 

GA-X58A-UD7 attached. from fresh install using latest Kakewalk method downloaded 4/24/10. no updates / mods as yet. Will CCClone the install in case you want any other files from it. See sig for system info.

Fix it by using code for the 920, his post was for the 930.

hi Guys.

 

Just been reading this guide and it all seems quite complex...

Could someone help me compile a DSDT for my board? Its a x58a-ud5 with i7 930..

Would like to have the power management stuff and am using the mpkg method to install atm.

 

Anyone willing to give me a hand? Will happily make donation

Hi All,

 

I finally managed to get 10.6.3 up and running after a full reinstall. I also managed to get the ethernet working with d00d's suggestion of changing Network-Root to Root. However, sound is just not working. I have installed d00ds dsdt and the system is recognizing the sound device as Intel High Def but no sound is being emitted. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Gentlemen, I have a question: if it works on you HOT plug? For me looks like this:

 

- I have buttons in the Finder to eject the disk but each time the system (all SATA). When you press the eject, you hear that the disk stops, when you enter the DiskUtility starts again (partition is not mounted, I can mount)

 

- In effect DiskUtility - umount the drive stops but when you click the Eject Disk for a moment becomes gray, then returns to its original state. The only thing I can do is mount the partition again and then heard that the drive starts, the partition is mounted correctly.

 

- Does not work the option of connecting an external e-SATA drive (I have extra ports in the casing) - when you hook up the drive and running, the system does not see it (DsikUtility not see the drive plugged)

Does it look the same with you?

 

P.S. All fixes from the first posts in the DSDT, F12 bios

As for the usb disks plugged everything works perfectly.

[Godzillar]

First of all, thank d00d for his awesome DSDT tutorial.

 

I wonder if anyone has a solution to the problem where the disk identifier is changed randomly for every system restart. This is somewhat inconvenient for Parallels to load my Windows partition.

 

I have 3 disks in my system, where the first is MAC OSX, the second is used as a time machine backup, and the third is Windows 7. Theoretically, the three disks and their corresponding disk identifier should be listed as: 1st: disk0, 2nd: disk1, 3rd: disk2. However, this order seems random each time upon reboot. For example, the order may be: 1st: disk2, 2nd: disk0, 3rd: disk1, or any other permutations. This is a bit troublesome since each time the order changes, I have to point the virtual machine to the correct partition for Parallels to load my Windows partition. Does anyone know a fix for this problem?

 

Thanks!

[eberts]

Godzillar, I think I made it. I used to have trouble with changing disk identifiers as well.

I changed two things:

I compared my dsdt with the one of a MacPro4,1, changed the "location" of the first two ahci ports (PRT0,PRT1) to "Upper" and "Lower", PRT2 becomes "Bay 1", PRT3 "Bay 2" and so on.

Moreover, I swapped my device order according to the MacPro4,1 ioreg:

SATA1 - DVD (PRT0,Upper)

SATA2 - Empty (PRT1,Lower)

SATA3 - Boot HD (PRT2,Bay 1)

SATA4 - TM disk (PRT3,Bay 2)

SATA5 - Empty

SATA6 - Empty

 

So far, it seems to be fixed now (boot drive=disk0s2), but I'll check for a little longer...

Thanks for you reply, eberts. However, I couldn't find PRTx (x = 0~5) in DSDT from GA-EX58-UD5. I simply swapped my devices based on your suggestion, but the disk identifier still appears random. Is there something missing in the DSDT that we should add to correct this problem?
