Nice post! You just made my day. I have the same machine X3V3 and was thinking about Catalina.
I will get setup and let you know how it went. Again thanks!
All the code in _INI in SSDT-7:
Method (_INI, 0, NotSerialized) // _INI: Initialize
{
Store (Zero, \_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._ADR)
_OFF ()
}
If I understand correctly adding
Store (Zero, \_SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP._ADR)
_OFF ()
to DSDT within the _REG...
Hi there,
Followed the instructions and added the OFF call to my DSDT. It seems that it is still not disabling the Nvidia 970M. I added the OFF to _REG but graphics are still enabled. Attached you will find problem reporting and all necessary items related to this issue.
Please advise. You...
Mm.. I wonder where I went wrong. I included the methods as described in the other thread. Perhaps I will move the conversation there. No sense in mixing up threads.
Out of curiosity where do you see Discrete graphics in IOReg?
Went ahead and added the discrete graphics off to SSDT-7 and DSDT. See attached. Should battery life remain the same? Still shows 1:17m at full charge. Seems a bit unusual, or should that improve over time?
Updated IOreg and SSDT7/DSDT to reflect the changes for the patched Nvidia off. See...
That was my suspicion. The big problem was modification of the BIOS to allow for 128mb graphics. That was holding up the QHD+ display and graphics card.
Pretty much the call is EC for the Aorus x3 vs the Gigabyte P35. They are nearly identical in terms of hardware. Aorus is another of Gigabyte's brands.
Understood. Going to work in disabling Nvidia now. Keeping notes on all of this to provide for other Aorus x3 plus v3 users.
The DSDT/SSDT patches look good I suspect? Thanks again for your help.
Corrected SSDT-6 unbalanced renames. Also added SSDT-5 to patched folder. Battery seems to be online now. But at full charge it only allows for 1 hour of use on battery power? That seems unusual as it last much longer in Windows 10. Any thoughts?
I appreciate all your help and the time you have...
Correcting now it seems I did not patch SSDT-5 will upload a revision in a few minutes. In regards to _STA I am not sure I understand what you mean in regards to "mistakes" all SSDT's compiled correctly as well as DSDT.
Are there several "mistakes" or simply the one of not including SSDT-5?
I have added the files once again, as requested. Will begin by correcting SSDT-3. Is there anything else you notice on the Battery portion? Battery is obviously installed and performs normally in Windows 10.
Hi,
I followed your guide and with the help of the Gigabyte P35v3 guide and battery patch was able to create a similar patch for my Laptop (Aorus x3Plus v3). After applying the patch and the ACPIBattery kext was able to create the DSDT and make changes to what was necessary for the Battery...
Hi RehabMan,
Thanks for your help in this matter. It turns out the big issue was 32mb in DMVT. This took some time to fix but it did require:
Pulling my bios
Modding it with tools provided and Unlocking the Hidden Menu options. Once this was achieved boot ran per usual. Now working with a...
All done,
Noted the signature with the details. This is Clover UEFI. That bit did not come up on the signature. Thanks again for your help and time RehabMan.
Also moved from 0xa0260006 to 0xa02e0008 (as I have a QHD+ 3200x1800 screen). Attached some screenshots of verbose boot, this is...
Hi RehabMan,
I went ahead and added the changes. I am now stuck at boot. Apple Logo and about 87% of the progress bar loads.. then it stays and will not progress further.
Hi,
I have followed the guide and am still having problems getting the kext to load on Intel HD4600. Please see attached files. This includes ioreg.zip and CLOVER.zip.
As mentioned the guide was followed and the config.plist in use is attached. When booting OS X freezes at boot. No kernel...
Hi Jaymonkey,
Thanks for the write up man. Just wanted to push over my findings.
Part 2:
You made mention of org.chameleon.Boot.plist and the SystemId string. This had absolutely no effect in solving the NVRAM Sid bug.
Some more information.
Mavericks 9.2 Gigabyte EFI board...
Perhaps someone can help. z68x-ud3h-b3 uefi bios is only showing x16 and x33 multipliers post 10.8.2 installation.
After scouring the threads and trying certain SSDT's--it seems to no avail--the multipliers remain 16/33. Have moved from iMac 12,2 which was working lovely 10.8.1 to Mini 5,1...
Thank You. This seems to be working. No more pop but if it comes back headed back to 3,1. What is the difference in performance 3,1 MPro vs 12,2 IMac? Have always gone by way of MacPro with this build but was recommended to hit IMac with UEFI.
