here it is. look this. i think i will continue tomorrow, time to bed

 

it worked, nvidia card is again disabled. same fan problem. tomorrow i will extract dsdt and ssdts with linux..

Download patchmatic: https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-maciasl-patchmatic/downloads/RehabMan-patchmatic-2015-0107.zip

Extract the 'patchmatic' binary from the ZIP. Copy it to /usr/bin, such that you have the binary at /usr/bin/patchmatic.

 

In terminal,

rm -R ~/Downloads/RehabMan
mkdir ~/Downloads/RehabMan
cd ~/Downloads/RehabMan
patchmatic -extract
Post contents of Downloads/RehabMan directory (as ZIP).

 

Also, post ioreg with v2.1 IORegistryExplorer.

 

Also, post all native files extracted via Linux.

here is it.

for linux dump: i've extract with acpidump. Zip file contains ssdts and dsdt in .dat format and in .dsl format, disassembled with iasl to make sure that i'm not wrong

You will have a much easier time with things if you disassemble properly...

Since ssdt4.dat and ssdt3.dat are duplicates, you need to remove one of them.

 

Then you can disassemble:

iasl -da -dl *.dat
Will be back with more info...

 

Notes:

- not sure why you too original ssdt3.dat, patched it, and renamed it SSDT-6.aml. It is best to keep original numbers to avoid confusion.

- _OFF should not be called from _REG. Call from associated _INI in the SSDT instead.

- do not call SPIN/SGTH twice from within _REG (each was called only once in original _OFF)

- _INI in ssdt3 (renamed to SSDT-6.aml) has not been patched to call _OFF

- you may need more of the OEM SSDTs (try including all)

Strange, but i haven't renamed anything. I just use acpidump to extract all tables.

The Clover bootlog shows SSDT.aml and SSDT-6.aml loading from ACPI/patched. The content of SSDT-6.aml (based on patchmatic -extract output) is patched ssdt3.dat.

 

Your Clover bootlog:

2:575  0:000  Inserting table[0]:SSDT.aml from EFI\CLOVER\ACPI\patched ... Success
2:583  0:008  Inserting table[7]:SSDT-6.aml from EFI\CLOVER\ACPI\patched ... Success
In patchmatic -extract:

- SSDT.aml will be SSDT.aml

- SSDT-6.aml will be SSDT-1.aml

 

Looking at patchmatic SSDT-1.aml, it is patched ssdt3.dat.

Hello I flow 1st topic i tried to disable nvidia GTX 860M on my g551JM but it doesn't work

please help me?

You likely have "unbalanced renames". \_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._OFF and \_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._PS2 are not defined in DSDT, and not defined in SSDT-7. So I assume it comes from some other SSDT you didn't elect to include, perhaps loading from OEM. But your DSDT and SSDt-7 have GFX0->IGPU rename, so it is likely the SSDT containing _OFF is being rejected as it probably doesn't have the same rename.

 

No idea without more information on your configuration.

hello lexhimself

can you help me please. I stuck 2 weeks for fixed issue sleep. My laptop never works sleep/wakeup. I try apple/sleep less than 25s display is off, keyboard backlit is always on. I touch any key, there is popup asking password (look like wakeup). but  more than 25s i can not wakeup when i touch any key i have to hold on power button to restart. After reboot it ask me password ( i dont have password at boot) look like full sleep. But when i check in system.log i dont have anything wakeup so it never work full sleep.

Your method is added, thanks for share !

 

Hi,

 

Thanks, but the following should be noted: 

 

The calling works from DSDT and SSDT, at least for me.

After some feedback from RehabMan, i now know it needs to be explored more, because it is not sure if the power is really cut off from the card. 

 

Edit: 

 

Results from the kill-a-watt are in, the card is only hidden, not fully disabled.

 

EDIT 2:

The code i'm currently injecting from the definitionblock: 

    Device (NVOF)
    {
        Name (_ADR, 0x00010000)
        OperationRegion (RPCI, PCI_Config, Zero, 0xF0)
        Field (RPCI, DWordAcc, Lock, Preserve)
        {
                    Offset (0xB0), 
            ASPM,   2, 
                ,   2, 
            LNKD,   1
        }

        OperationRegion (GPIO, SystemIO, GBAS, 0x60)
        Field (GPIO, ByteAcc, Lock, Preserve)
        {
                    Offset (0x38), 
            LVL1,   32
        }

        OperationRegion (SGOP, SystemMemory, 0x9CF88F18, 0x50)
        Field (SGOP, AnyAcc, Lock, Preserve)
        {
            EBAS,   32, 
            CPSP,   32, 
            EECP,   32, 
            EVCP,   32, 
            XBAS,   32, 
            DBPA,   32, 
            SGGP,   8, 
            SGMD,   8, 
            SGFL,   8, 
            PWOK,   8, 
            HLRS,   8, 
            DSEL,   8, 
            ESEL,   8, 
            PSEL,   8, 
            PWEN,   8, 
            PRST,   8, 
            MXD1,   32, 
            MXD2,   32, 
            MXD3,   32, 
            MXD4,   32, 
            MXD5,   32, 
            MXD6,   32, 
            MXD7,   32, 
            MXD8,   32, 
            GBAS,   16, 
            APDT,   32, 
            AHDT,   32, 
            IHDT,   32
        }

        Method (_INI, 0, Serialized)
        {
            Store (One, LNKD)
            Store (0xBF777F4B, LVL1)
        }
    }
 

And to _WAK:

        Store (0xBF777F4B, ^NVOF.LVL1) 

The system is stable at 29~31 WATT, instead of 42WATT without calling method _OFF or 37WATT using the previous method (Which i deleted for obvious reasons)

It still needs testing, and perhaps can be reduced some more.

 

Methods are loaded from _INI in the device NVOF, it will be initialized on boot, as stated in the ACPI Documentation.

Hey, it's been a while since I've worked on anything hackintosh related, so I'm not really sure about any of this, I dumped the ACPI tables in linux and got the ones from clover and used the latest iasl version i could find. (20141107) but i keep getting errors about redefined namespaces etc. Does UEFI / BIOS mode make a difference for the ACPI table structure? I got these in UEFI mode.

My laptop is a Clevo P150EM, gfx card a GTX670M.

 

Would really appreciated it if someone would take a quick look and tell me if it's doable or help me out a bit :)

I had no issue disassembling your files. Here's what I did:

- downloaded your tables.zip

- unzip in place

cd ~/Downloads/tables
cd linux
iasl -da -dl DSDT.dat SSDT*.dat
cd ..
cd clover
iasl -da -dl DSDT.aml SSDT*.aml
Both were successful in creating all *.dsl files without error.

 

Using iasl here: https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/acpica/downloads

 

You must be doing something wrong.

Oh wow, I guess i was just too stupid to find the latest version of iasl and use it :) Thanks a lot.

 

Also i realised i have to replace the iasl binary in MacIASL when using that to compile.

Here's a patched DSDT for Clevo P150EM based laptops with a GTX675M in my case (might work with other nvidia cards i don't know)

I tried to also include the method LexHimself describes, not sure if i did it right, don't have a kill-a-watt or something similar to it.

 

For anyone who might need it :)

P.S.: you need to set ig-platform-id to 0x01660004 for Clover's intel injection to work on this model.

Dear Mr Rehabman,

 

I request a small favour on my DSDT. I am attaching them for you to review. The problem is Nvidia graphic card disabled but I lost restart facility. Every time I need to shut down. Please help me to over come this problem.

Try calling _ON from begining of _PTS, and _OFF from end of _WAK (before the Return).

Thanks for instant reply. I am not that much well versed with programming. Please, if you dont mind, can you update on my DSDT. Sorry for bothering you. 

 

Thanks in advance.

 

I tried to follow your instructions, Compiler returned 2 errors

 

" 5440, 4065, Object not found or not accessible from scope (^PEG0.PEGP._ON) 

 

& 

 

5578, 4065, Object not found or not accessible from scope (^PEG0.PEGP._OFF)".

 

I added " External (\_SB_.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._ON, MethodObj) "

No idea without seeing what you've done. Attach your edited file.
