Asus Q301LA-bsi5t17 (S301LA) – Yosemite Clover Install

[RehabMan]

Okay, so I did as instructed and installed the FakePCIID kext to my efi/clover/kext as instructed. I then rebooted and still have problems with graphics. I then read that I should patch this to fix the corruption but I am not sure how to do it. Here is the code:

<dict>
    <key>Name</key>
    <string>AppleIntelFramebufferAzul</string>
    <key>Comment</key>
    <string>0x0a260006 9MB cursor bytes patch</string>
    <key>Find</key>
    <string>0600260a01030303000000020000300100006000</string>
    <key>Replace</key>
    <string>0600260a01030303000000020000300100009000</string> 
</dict>

I assume that I have to patch it in my dsdt but I dont know how to make a patch.

That patch is done in config.plist. Whether you need it or not depends on the specifics of "still have problems with graphics"...

The config.plist from my guide has that patch already enabled.

Then I am not sure why I would still have the issues. I have done everything from this page. The problem persist with windows/apps updating such as using safari/chrome to browse the web. In addition transitions are not working properly either (eg. After initial log in no transition).

On another note, I keep getting an error for my DSDT/SSDTs. Should I be doing the extraction thing every time that I want to patch or edit the DSDT/SSDTs?

Also, I am trying to get audio working too and I have the AppleHDA kext that I need. I am using the Realtek ALC233. The problem is that I dont know how to "Use layout 3 in the Patch HDEF your DSDT".

As for the audio patch, I cannot do anything in my DSDT because I keep getting an error. Do I need to re-extract it or can I use mine from the EFI folder?

You have CI, but no QE. Make sure you have not patched either graphics kext. All kexts should be vanilla on disk. Do a fresh install if necessary.

I notice you have some system kexts (such as AppleHDA.kext) in EFI/Clover/kexts. Please be aware that this does not work.

You only need to re-extract if you make BIOS changes, BIOS updates, hardware changes, etc. If you patched it once, you should be able to patch it again (starting from scratch).

You should save your patched *.dsl files so you can add patches later. Or keep good notes about the patching process, so that patching from OEM native is not difficult.

Thanks for posting these "background" links. It is very easy for the original information to be lost.

There are many interesting things there, and while reading them reminds me of those days with nostalgia,
good times were those.

This fixed my sound issue, thank you mirone, rehabman and ikkoku. With this setup I won't have internal or external mic, correct?

For now I'm still looking for a solution to this.

Okay, so would you just suggest me just doing a fresh install and starting from there?

Also thanks for all of the support for this. I really appreciate it!

That is probably best since you don't know what happened to the kexts...

Eventually, you learn not to make mistakes.

I reinstalled Yosemite and repatched my DSDT/SDST and installed simple kext again. I am still getting graphical errors though which befuddles me.

Do you think that it might be occurring because I did not "hack my bios to unlock the kernel"? I assumed it wasn't but thats the only thing that I can think of.

IF you could, can you look at my IOReg and see if I fixed the CI missing issue? View attachment Hackbook IOReg.ioreg
