Power Management for Sandy Bridge/Ivy Bridge/Haswell Laptops

"Things you could try" are for your hack.

The concepts I mention are the same regardless of using Clover, Chameleon, or Chimera. The details differ, of course.

How can I do this things using chimera?

How can I do this things using chimera?

1. GenerateCStates/GeneratePStates are options in org.chameleon.Boot.plist. You learned about them in this thread, post #1.

2. -xcpm is a kernel flag. You can set it in the Kernel Flags option in org.chameleon.Boot.plist. You would need to patch the kernel: http://www.tonymacx86.com/mavericks...-locked-msrs-hp-envy-15-j063cl-i7-4700mq.html

3. DropSSDT is an option in org.chameleon.Boot.plist. You learned about it in this thread, post #1.

Sorry RehMan, I get confused with the abbreviations.
I try:
GCStates=yes and GPStates=yes,
GCStates=no and GPStates=no and DropSSDT=yes
all yes
all no
with no changes (I did with the SSDT.aml in the extra folder. Is it correct?).
Already no patch the kernel for -xcpm
I think that the ssdtPGen script has a "problem" with my cpu: no detect low frequency and gets 1200 as minim frequency for a mobile cpu (I try in my macbook air too and get the same "problem").

Yes, correct.

If you think it is a problem in the script, modify it. The data values for each CPU are in tables at the top of the script.

Yes, correct.

Hi RehabMan. What version of ssdtPGen uses the ssdt generator from the last probook installer?

Hi RehabMan. What version of ssdtPGen uses the ssdt generator from the last probook installer?

I don't know exactly. You could extract the script with Pacifist and look if you really want to know. The last ProBook Installer update was some time ago.

Current version of ssdtPRgen.sh is here: https://github.com/Piker-Alpha/ssdtPRGen.sh

Upsss! I start to edit the script using text edit... or use pacifist?

I was just saying if you want to know what version of the ssdtPRgen.sh script is in the ProBook Installer, that you can extract the script with Pacifist.

I don't see why you really care to know what version when you already know where the latest ssdtPRgen.sh script is and can edit that directly.

Thanks another again!
I extract the probook installer SSDT generator using pacifist and it's the V9.0. I edit the ssdtPGen sh to add my low frequency at 800 but the ssdt.aml doesn't work PM. And try the same with the last release with no lucky.
I think that is necessary to add flags in the script to work. Seems like the ssdt generator from probook installer uses flags to work...

What CPU do you have?

Please provide complete details in your profile/signature
(Profile/Settings link in upper right corner of this site)

System: manufacturer/model
CPU: detailed CPU model + motherboard chipset
Graphics: all graphics devices + laptop internal screen resolution

For example, typical Ivy laptop:
System: HP ProBook 4540s
CPU: i5-3320m/HM76
Graphics: HD4000, 1366x768

Use CPU-Z on Windows to find CPU (Core iX-xxx) and motherboard chipset (HMxx), and graphics capabilities. For a laptop, these details are important and affect critical installation procedures.
