[Guide] Native Power Management for Laptops

[RehabMan]

I included the correct DSDT in my previous post and forgot to update it in the zip. Sorry, and thanks again for taking the time.

You are not booting from an EFI/Clover that has this patched DSDT.
You can verify by looking at your patchmatic output. The DSDT.aml there is not patched with the Haswell LPC patch.

Very strange... I don't get it... The patched DSDT.aml is in the proper directory on my EFI partition and shows the patch applied. Seems like all the other patches are working, for instance I have sound and my nvidia card is disabled, but you're right, I don't see the Haswell LPC patch applied to the patchmatic output...

Any clue what could cause this?

You are not booting from the EFI/Clover that you think you are.
Look at your Clover bootlog, and double check the ACPI/patched content on your EFI partition.
One way to verify you're booting from the EFI/Clover that you expect is to change the theme selection in config.plist to see if it takes effect.

Should I do this on 7700HQ ? it seem its working great ?

Yes, of course.
It is easy: As per post #1, just add SSDT-PluginType1.aml to EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched.

Changing the theme didn't work during the boot, but the bootlog shows that the theme is setting, then reverting back or something... I don't get it. The bootlog seems to show everything loading properly though. I can see things that I've set being patched and loaded.

Here is my bootlog... Maybe you can help?

It shows,

0:120  0:000  Default theme: BGM

which is what I changed it to, but then switches to later in the log...

Looks like you're doing some things with the UEFI shell:

23:326  22:606  Start Tool: \EFI\CLOVER\tools\Shell64U.efi
23:351  0:024  Loading Shell64U.efi  status=Success
74:525  51:174  ReinitSelfLib after theme change

"Problem Reporting" files are incomplete.
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.

I loaded the shell and exited that specific boot. As far as reporting files go, I changed nothing since my last upload a post or so back.

The theme stuck and loaded when i saved it to NVRAM.

No idea what you mean by saving a theme to NVRAM. Theme is selected via config.plist/GUI/Theme. You should not attempt any other methods.

Your previous problem reporting files were proved to be inconsistent (no idea how you "forget to copy DSDT.aml" when you should have been copying the entire EFI/Clover *that you are actually using*).

Please resolve your file management issues, and attach correct/consistent problem reporting files.

Both clover and clovers theme manager mention NVRAM. The only way I was able to have my theme change take effect was to save it in the NVRAM section of clover configurator since, apparently, "Any NVRAM entry will take precedence over config.plist".

The "embedded" theme was set in the NVRAM section of clover configurator and no matter what theme I saved in the config.plist, "embedded" would always load from the "NVRAM"...
