MBP9,2 SMBIOS Intel 7 mobile chipset on Vaio SVE15115FXS DSDT edited as per rehabman’s patches and suggestions (dsm properties, renaming) Laptop has a USB 3.0 port with power share (and 3 legacy USB ports) Problem: fakepciid_xhcimux breaks USB charging (iPad says not charging) I’m assuming...

Just wanted to report that battery manufacture date is not reported correctly. It is however correct with VirtualSMC battery plugin. Cosmetic but since I like this kext, thought I'd report the issue. Another thing is battery charge cycles. They seem to be an arbitrary number that moves in an...

My system is neither busy nor slow. It works fine using 1-finger scrolling. Why not implement such a hack? Shouldn't be too difficult. Although not impossible, it's still quite difficult. I think some touchpads are more sensitive than others.

Feature Request: Smoother Scroll, better inertia. I noticed that scrolling on my Synaptics 8.1 ClickPad is not always smooth. Sometimes it jitters. Also, inertia scroll sometimes stops abruptly on lifting fingers. Did some investigation on macOS and Windows: The reason is that while lifting...

The startup issue returned again. I give up on it for now. Not worth the effort. For any Vaio owner with the display backlight not working after wake using lid, I've finally debugged the issue and found its root and created an appropriate fix. EC device is not correctly initialized when using...

I have same issue from shutting down from installer too. I can absolutely confirm (in my case) that codec commander installed then: boot -> sleep -> wake (and wait a few sec) -> shutdown -> system boot from first attempt. What audio codec do you have? Can you confirm this too?

As I said before: boot macOS, shut down macOS: press power button once -> power led blinks once and system doesn't start press power button again -> system starts normally While experimenting with Codec Commander, the issue seemed to be intermittently fixed. With Codec Commander: If I boot...

I did it. Made my F8 button switch between the 3 keyboard backlight modes thanks to your incredibly flexible driver. Still can't find the source of the startup after shutdown problem. I'm fairly certain its an ACPI issue. Not happening with Windows/Linux.

Yeah, sorry. I was trying to see if there's a difference between dropping and not dropping. Uploaded the plist with drop enabled. Sluggish is not the right word. Shutdown macOS/laptop, press power button once -> power button LED flashes once. System stays off. Press again -> system starts...

1- Resolved. Thank you. Not gonna drop any SSDTs since they don't seem to be causing any issues. (will keep testing) 2- How so? Brightness control is working fine (UI and key shortcuts, full range). Just need to force display LEDs power on from _WAK after using lid to sleep. I haven't seen any...

Okay, here are the files. 1- So stock SSDTs (including dynamically loaded ApIst, ApCst, Cpu0Cst) are okay? 2- Problem is not brightness. Its's the actual backlight LEDs not powering on. I can only see ghosting on the screen. 3- Files attached 4- Files attached (Minor issue since I mapped...

Here are the files requested (slightly modded for privacy)

My current DSDT: - Renamed: ADP1, EC (rename, split for battery using premade RehabMan patch). - Patched: EHC, XHC, HDEF, IGPU, ARPT, GIGE, SBUS - Added: MCHC, IMEI, Darwin/Win emulation ***Had to add “Store (One, LIDS)” to _WAK to power on display backlight after using lid to sleep. ECOK=1...

I did read but I didn't think that was all of it. My mistake. Anyway, here are the results of my experimentation: - Simple PNLF in DSDT = brightness control - limited range - SSDT-PNLF = brightness control - full range I find it interesting that I don't seem to need a "custom EDID"...

This worked for me. Brightness control with full range of brightness. With a simple PNLF in DSDT and no injectors/patches, I get brightness control but restricted max brightness. I remember you saying somewhere else that a custom EDID to match AppleBacklight would fix the brightness range...
