Thanks you Tluck

Done...

Thank you all

Looks good @tluck.

I will try it later.

Unfortunately my sleep does not work well. I thought it's fixed but now it just freezes sometimes. Also after some sleeps my Touchpad/Trackpoint are getting in responsive. :/

Using an USB drive to boot does not look like a solution to me, I don't want to always carry it with me. :/

[Smith@@™]

 

@smith@@ - well here is a generated EDID 17" 1600x900 you could try. i took your EDID and then plugged in the timings from my EDID keeping your panel sizes for 17" .

Thanks the same buddy, many appreciated

[tluck]

@vapayo

 

yeah the random sleep and wake issues seem to be attributed to pure UEFI boot. That's why i boot with MBR formatted USB when i need to rely on sleep. 

 

@smith@@ 

 

here is 2 more for a hp 17" 1600x900 - if you are interested

the first one has slight increase max panel size to 390 which is larger that what detailed size calls for - 382.

Artifact with both last. I m starting to think that problem is efi emulation. It s only explanation.

[miaumiau2]

Hey,

 

after some time off from clover (happily running 10.8.4 on my x220 with chameleon) I was reading whether the UEFI boot issues with mute button and sleep were fixed, but I can see it is not the case.

 

@tluck: if you don't want to use a usb stick you can change your gpt to a hybrid disk and then use MBR clover from disk. unfortunately gpt windows won't work (gpt windows does not like hybrid MBR) in this setup so you need to use MBR windows as well (don't have windows at all currently).

 

I just had a look at your DSDT and will compare it with mine. Do you remember which changes were needed to make it compatible to AppleACPIPlatform.kext? I didn't find it mentioned in the comments.

 

Thanks and keep up the good work ;-)

[tluck]

@miaumiau2 -  glad to have you back. Clover UEFI does have some quirks. Clover MBR is a different story - sleep and mute are fine. The ACPIplatform changes were about the Battery (as far as i canso i think if you look at _BIF etc for where i used the B1B2 function. i struggled with some really long strings (128 vs 8) so I had to hard code a few text strings for the manufacture, model, and battery type. 

 

usb is not a huge problem for me as i found a pretty compact USB - cruiser fit.

 

can you elaborate on how to convert a GTP to hybrid? do you mean put MBR instead of PBR? yeah i vaguely remember problems with windows when i was messing with this a while back. thanks.

[miaumiau2]

@tluck - Ok, will check if I find the battery stuff. currently I also have problems using rehabmans latest AcpiBattery so need to look at it anyways.

 

I used gdisk, you can install it in OSX, but I used http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php most of the time. See http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/hybrid.html for general info on hybrid MBRs. As far as I recall, this is how Bootcamp makes a mac ready for Windows installation as well.

 

Once you have a hybrid mbr, you can install a MBR / PBR to it while keeping the disk in GPT and thus editable in DiskUtil.

 

Here is my layout. I actually did not manage to boot from /dev/disk1 where my main OSX resides so I boot via /dev/disk0 MBR -> /dev/disk0s1 PBR -> boot(Chameleon v2.2svn r2255)

 

 

 

EDIT: oh and about going from pure GPT to hybrid, it is a non-destructive operation. Basically GPT fills the old MBR with a reserved data pattern, so that MBR tools don't damage any GPT disk. When having an hybrid, a valid MBR is added that points to the same partitions (but max 4, but OSX will still see all partitions as it uses the GPT, only MBR booted systems will see max 4). So you can safely add / remove the hybrid mbr without repartitioning, just Windows might because unbootable.

@Tetonne - did i miss something! ... what is the SMC_util info all about?

i don't think so truck

i only share something i didn't know before

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/282794-darwindumper/

http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=2447&mode=linear

i share my information (without really understand them) cos i know some people will here lol

not sure it's important in fact cos i'm running a real mac under my T420 lol thanks to you and other great share found here

[Tetonne]

let have a look to this #130

i think it is interessting don't you?

Hi,

 

Did you get it resolved. I have the same issue.

Do you have solution to this issue? Please let me know I the same problem

[TimeWalker75a]

People...Its a debug version of the kext ...

[tluck]

@mdudnik

 

I don't understand what problem you are referring to?  as TimeWalker75a points out - that output is from the debug version of RehabMans Battery Manager kext that was extracted during the development of the T420 DSDT so we can use the Lion/MoutainLion/Mavericks AppleACPIPlatform.kext instead of the snow leopard rollback kext.

 

the answer is: yes. ... if the question is the DSDT fixed to work with the current AppleACPIPlatform and ACPIBatteryManager?

@TimeWalker75a

 

FWIW, since I have been booting CloverEFI from a MBR USB vs UEFI, I have had no problems with shutdown, sleep or random PS2 disappearance.  frankly, i don't know if the "SLPR" function fix is the key or not ... in _PTS, i added a bit toggle 1 for for modes mode 3, 4 and beyond the 0 for mode 5. ... this extra code certainly does not hurt! 

 

// tjl this is for sleep mode

            If (LEqual (Arg0, 0x03))

            {

                \VVPD (0x03)

                \TRAP ()

                Store (\_SB.PCI0.LPC.EC.ADP1._PSR (), \OCST)

                Store (0x01, SLPE)

                Sleep (0x10)

            }

                Store (0x01, SLPE)

                Sleep (0x10)

            }

Hi community!

 

Trying to install 10.9 on Lenovo T530 (2392-4SG). I've disabled the discrete graphics so now HD4000 1920x1030 only. Added EDID into config.plist

I'm able to boot Clover (USB) and even get OS X Installer. The problem is the mouse cursor absent. Looks like HD4000 work wrong.

 

Thanks in advance if somebody may help me by any way.

 

Dmitry

[tluck]

@dmitry Blinov - do you have VooddooPS2controller kext or other PS2 controller ? an external usb mouse can also work to get things installed. 

[Dmitry Blinov]

@tluck - yes I have VoodooPS2controller and usb mouse (and touchpad) is really working, the problem with cursor only. Cursor is invisible 

(If it is important: I have not any DSDT.aml in the ACPI/Patched folder)

[styrian]

@tluck - yes I have VoodooPS2controller and usb mouse (and touchpad) is really working, the problem with cursor only. Cursor is invisible 

(If it is important: I have not any DSDT.aml in the ACPI/Patched folder)

Try to boot with flag -x. You can also try to set the platform IG of framebuffer Capri to 3 or 4 (or try the other ones also). If this all does not work to get your system installed, remove the AppleInterFramebufferCapri.kext from your USB installer.(But keep ist, you will need it perhaps later on) For getting your system after install working with the HD4000 you need in any case the correct Capri platform IG.

 

Have fun.

[tluck]

@dmitry - hmm. well did you try to look at system preferences/Accessibility/Display which you can change cursor size? 

[Dmitry Blinov]

Thanks, will try today (I hope)

 

@dmitry - hmm. well did you try to look at system preferences/Accessibility/Display which you can change cursor size? 

I don't think so, I still haven't OS X installed. Thanks anyway

[Dmitry Blinov]

 Yes!!!  Video at LCD now is working with platform 01660004    Thanks a lot, styrian!

 

OS X 10.9 is installed, boot from USB stick still

 

System disk is SSD drive in Lenovo bay instead of DVD

 

Work:

• HD4000 with all resolutions 
• Built-in Ethernet
• Built-in Webcam
• Built-in Touchpad
• USB mouse
• iCloud
• Messages

Doesn't work

• Sound
• Battery
• Icon of SSD disk is yellow
• Wi-Fi (it is ok, I understand why)

 

I guess first of all I have to install Clover to the system SSD. And next I should have a work with DSDT and/or kexts patching...

 

So can I ask you to help with my next steps?

 

 

Thanks again!

[tluck]

@dmitry - sorry i don't have experience with the 530 - but i suspect you will need to create a custom dsdt for sound. clover may be able to patch the audio for depending on what type of audio you have. Otherwise voodooBattery and VoodooHDA may work though. often a custom dsdt is required to get some things working.
