This is next very very important detail which I was trying to do 2 minutes ago and I found weird X times PXSX while preparation all ASMedia implementations

It's quite fun because I had 80% of .aml prepared correctly, but changes wasn't visible cause few mistakes...
like for example my GFX0
the last thing it will be a Vega implementation
I changed block Scope (\_SB.PC02.BR2A.GFX0) - instead of GFXA and GFXB I will use only A because I have only 1 Vega at this moment, but weird thing is "ATY,Part#" which in example is:

"ATY,Part#",
Buffer (0x0C)
{
"113-3E366DU"
},

and on my IOreg:

only - ' r '

so I'm not sure if it's OK/important..., without device-id needed etc... so... maybe it will works like that
we will see in 30-40 minutes when I will finish to check the other entries etc

If you have just 1x Vega use GFX0 not GFXA!!!!

If you have 2x Vega use GFX0 and GFX1...

The "Display" variable used by the iMac Pro with 1x Vega is GFX0!

Logics.. Isn't it?

Yes, of course it’s logic

I was thinking about something else - only about:
ATY,Part#
which value is 113-......
and on my PC value is only - r
But maybe it’s not even important so, Sorry I should check it before write a new post.

NO, NOT AT ALL! You did not read my comments concerning the PXSX ACPI Replacement??? The PXSX ACPI replacement needs to be done within the SSDT-X299-iMacPro.aml and not within the config.plist! Just disable or remove the
SLOC -> ARPT ACPI Replacement in the config.plist. That's all what is missing!

Good luck,

KGP

My friend, forgive me this straight and direct answer, but I would not see any reason or advantage to use SMBIOS iMacPro1,1 with Broadwell-E/EP, Haswell-E/EP and X99 systems..

All the best,

KGP

It's Okay man. Appreciate your dedication. Cheers.

Man, man ,man... of course it is wrong! You still did not catch yet the idea how to apply the PXSX -> ARPT replacement within the SSDT-X299-iMacPro.aml. You are not even able to do a simple copy & paste.. hmmm...

Is your OSXWIFI now in Slot 5 or 6?

After you answer this question, I will return the modified SSDT-X299-iMacPro.aml to you..

@ffltt
Don't get me wrong... I want to ask if Your English level is so low or you really have problem with reading and understeanding step by step...?
Maybe try to read post #5083 and #5089 with Google Translator...

It's nothing bad.... Sometimes I use it too... it takes just a little more time...
but maybe it will be easier for you to understand what KGP said.

We want help you but it feels like you don't listen and don't read what we try to explain sometimes...

If it's not a English language problem, just RE-read posts #5083 and #5089 again
(5 times or more) ... because I'm really afraid about KGP patience, and I prefer KGP happy and relaxed than angry

Don't worry about my actual status.. yet I am totally relaxed

But I need to know from @ffltt if all this refers to slot-5 or slot-6. Sometimes he states slot-5 than again slot-6..

It is a mess.. Also my instructions to all others depend on this detail..

So it is important! I will once more have to modify all related posts once I get his definite answer...

Thus @ffltt, are we talking now about Slot-5 or Slot-6?
