If I recall correctly, OREG showed my Nvidia adapter adapter is at SB.PCI0.RP05.PEGP. Do I just replace PEG0 with RP05 in the script?

and remove the lines with "External(_SB.PCI0.PEGP.DGFX._OFF, MethodObj)" as this would be for a Radeon/other card is that correct?

Appreciate the assistance.

SB.PCI0.PEGP.DGFX is for AMD

yes, check your DSDT for your for RP05.PEGP etc, and add as accordingly

this is a lot of trial and error and more advanced than basic hotpatch but worth it in the end
 
Hi,

When I try to compile some of the DSL files I am getting errors around these lines "#ifndef NO_DEFINITIONBLOCK"

What does this mean? Can I safely remove these types of problematic lines?

EDIT:

I removed those ## lines and compiled the patch anyways to test...

Back to battery problems again soon as I enabled this patch to disable the Nvidia card. the gfx adapter appears to be disabled as when I check system properties I only see the intel card:

Code: 
DefinitionBlock ("", "SSDT", 2, "hack", "_DDGPU", 0x00000000)
{
    External (_SB_.PCI0.RP05.PEGP._OFF, MethodObj)    // 0 Arguments (from opcode)

    Device (RMD1)
    {
        Name (_HID, "RMD10000")  // _HID: Hardware ID
        Method (_INI, 0, NotSerialized)  // _INI: Initialize
        {
            If (CondRefOf (\_SB.PCI0.RP05.PEGP._OFF))
            {
                \_SB.PCI0.RP05.PEGP._OFF ()
            }
        }
    }
}

The battery was showing fine, and I enabled most of the patches.... soon as I enabled and rebooted after this one to disable discrete graphics (RP05), battery disappeared completely and is showing 0% in the energy settings panel and I'm unable to activate in the taskbar.

What could possibly be going wrong here? It seems soon as I disable discrete gfx the battery goes haywire.

you probably don't need:
FakePCIID_Intel_HD_Graphics.kext

run:

profdrluigi / kextupdater / Downloads — Bitbucket

bitbucket.org bitbucket.org
it will check for kext updates and let you know if any kexts can be removed due to update of other kexts

why have you added those SSDT's in there? what have you patched in them?

you seem to have added a lot of extra Fixes in your config.plist which are unnecessary

you have renames in your config.plist which have no bearings now you removed your hotpatch files

also with your renames, you may want to enable:
change _DSM to XDSM
when you have your hotpatch files in place
 
Ok.

Let me update those renames and clean it up. Are there any renames needed to stay?

I will move those 3rd party kexts from sle

In those SSDTs all I have done is run the basic patches. There’s nothing special about them other than about 4 patches I was directed to run on them (gfx0 and _pss and something else and error fix), from a guide. I tried to run with only DSDT and SSDT5 with the gfx disable but had the same result with the battery.

The only SSDT that actually has changed is #5 related to disabling DGFX.

Should I remove all Other SSDT?

remove them all and go back to using hotpatch
 
Hi,

OK, I have reverted back to the SSDT hot patch approach, I left the renames in there and only loaded the SSDT-DDGPU, soon as I load this battery shows 0% and will not show in status bar, when I remove this SSDT and leave patched folder empty, battery goes back to normal behaviour.

Kext moved from SLE and Remoed Itel HD kext as you mentioned.

New debug attached. With the DDGPU SSDT loaded.

I haven't had a chance to run the kext updater yet.

replace FakeSMC with VirtualSMC kext (don't forget to install it to /L/E
install SMCBatteryManager.kext to /L/E

replace SMCHelper-64.efi with virtualsmc.efi in drivers64UEFI folder

then don't forget to update your lilufriend.kext afterwards as the above kexts are lilu based

rehabman has a nice tool to create lilufriend:
https://github.com/RehabMan/hack-tools

config.plist:
InjectKexts should be set to Detect, not sure why you changed that for
