Thanks. For anyone interested, this is the setting.

Hi there, I have Elitebook 8560w with full size keyboard. Function keys (volume and brightness) are working OK. Any idea how can I disable numeric keyboard which is useless for me and use home/end/page up/page down keys instead? Pressing num lk or fn-num lk does not seem to have any effect...

no no, I used FakePCIID (yo, man) and edited IDs as necessary. please educate me when is DSDT _DSM change required (listed on FakePCIID source page)? or is this only cosmetic? I got my card working without it.

you are a man! thanks a million! all working now.

all good with AR9285, 4k dump size, no strange output like I get with AR9380: Trying EEPROM access... OTP address out of range: 0fff OTP address out of range: 1001 What would happen if I try to rebrand AR9285 to AR9380 to bypass whitelist, then use Clover patch to recognize card as AR9285...

atheros branch from google code behaves exactly like that, no errors, no result. still, dump is 1024 bytes or 1k. maybe this is different for AR9380? I will get a AR928X card and play and see if there's any difference.

interesting. the other guide on insanelymac also talked about 4k dump. strange I never got one. will go looking why. nope. you get nowhere as regular user. can't open /dev/mem

modified iwleeprom as in (your) posts #77 and #99, but still the same error as above. but why is rom dump 1024 bytes? shouldn't be 512 bytes?

Not sure. I am using various versions found elsewhere, but did not modify anything myself. Atheros branch from Google code: two versions from here: different iwleeprom versions either report all OK, or complain about "Write verify error", but rom does not change. like below: # ./iwleeprom...

Has anyone tried to rebrand AR5BXB112 (ar9380) using tools in this thread? I need to change subsystem and subvendor ID from Apple to HP to bypass laptop's whitelist. So far did not have much success even to read the rom. Got a little further on Linux, but still cannot write rom back to the card.

Take from here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17269193/8560w-efi.tgz

You'll have to wait until February when I get back and have access to the laptop again.

Have you tried nv_disable=1 ? This is how I got installation working with my Quadro 2000M (laptop card). nv_disable=1 gives you software rendering only, should be enough for installation. br, shpokas

Hi, I am trying to understand how Fermi Nvidia card routes output to two external monitors. Let's state the obvious - NVCAP and display-cfg strings control where output goes. The question is - what condition is required for two external monitors to work? There is a perfect example how NVCAP...

yeah, I have no clue how to get non-supported, but allegedly working Nvidia card to work. any pointers?

Any thoughts why PBI has got support only for 8x60w laptops with AMD graphics? I mean, I have a 8560w with Nvidia Quadro 2000M and I can get as far as install and boot OS X 10.10.1 with software rendering (nv_disable=1), but if I try boot the laptop in normal way, either with Apple drivers or...

Thanks for encouragement, could not imagine that I would be able to upgrade existing installation ;) But I ended up with non-working Bluetooth. Not sure it is because of Yosemite, but still want BT back. Strange thing is that BT is found, but I cannot switch it on. Has anyone seen that before?

Indeed. I kinda forgot how seldom I use Bluetooth on this hack. Thanks for the tool. mackrap: Downloads shpokas$ ./BluetoothLowEnergyCheck Built Jul 28 2014 Found (0xA5C21E1) named 'mackrap', turned on, ready HCI 0x6:0x1000, LMP 0x6:0x220e, MAC a4-17-31-b7-5c-5f Low Energy supported, Power...
