Alienware Alpha DSDT help!

lilryu said:

Hi all,

I'm trying to compile a non-patched DSDT but got 81 errors... Can someone help fix the errors? The errors consists of "Object does not exist (LNKF)", etc. I believe I have an IF statement outside of a Method() but I can't seem to find it or maybe it's something else. Need help of a DSDT guru.

The specs of my system are:
Alienware Alpha
Core i3-4130t
4GB Ram
500GB HD
Nvidia Geforce GTX 860M 2989 MB with Graphic Acceleration

I will write a tutorial on how to get this system up once I finish editing the DSDT.

Thank you!

Disassemble correctly... You need to disassemble with all SSDTs as context (iasl -da -dl *.aml).

Read laptop guide for details: http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-laptop-support/152573-guide-patching-laptop-dsdt-ssdts.html

Is this correct now? I extracted both in .aml and .dsl format. But there are more errors.

RehabMan said:

Patches from here: https://github.com/RehabMan/Laptop-DSDT-Patch
"Fix ADBG Error"
"Fix PARSEOP_ZERO Error"

Remove the remaining two lines causing the resulting errors...

Awesome! Now to the DSDT patching... Is extracting DSDT/SSDT different now? I used MacIASL in the past but now we're using patchmatic/iasl.

Extracting DSDT/SSDT is covered in the guide linked by post #2.

Rehabman, I almost have it fully working now. I managed to fix sleep by using your GenericUSBXHCI.kext but I would like to switch it to the native AppleUSBXHCI.kext. The motherboard that comes with the Alienware Alpha is a 8 series motherboard - which DSDT edits do I need for USB 3.0? You mentioned on another website that you used "For Intel XHCI, I use DSDT patches to solve various problems (instant wake, USB2 defer to EHC, etc)." so I was wondering if I could apply those same DSDT patches to my DSDT.

Thanks.

Just wanted to verify that power management is working... Here's the output from console:



but HWMonitor only moves from x8.0 to x29.0 and then from x29.0 back to x8.0, I haven't seen any other steps.

Thanks!
