[Guide] Asus UX305CA UHD

[RehabMan]

Ok thanks. So I patched my DSDT, it's compiled and saved in .dsl format. I checked SSDT-0 to SSDT-4, I don't know what to look for exactly. Am I right to say I can remove SSDT-5x and up (all the one with -{number}x)?

Dynamic SSDTs are covered quite clearly in the guide.

I guess I should check for "IAOE" in my SSDT if I want to find an answer for the sleep issue? (Edit: Can't find anything with 'IAOE' in the SSDTs)

IAOE is usually not a problem if you include all SSDTs.

It'd leave me with:
- DSDT.dsl
- SSDT-0.dsl
- SSDT-1.dsl
- SSDT-2.dsl
- SSDT-3.dsl
- SSDT-4.dsl

Clover will not load *.dsl files. Everything must be compiled as AML.

And then you'll have SSDT.aml from ssdtPRgen.sh, of course.

Okay thanks.

The guide does say

Note: The 'x' SSDTs from a Clover dump and likewise the SSDTs in the dynamic subdirectory from a Linux dump are loaded dynamically and are never included in ACPI/patched (they are SSDTs loaded on-demand with ACPI Load from SystemMemory).
​

Just wanted to be sure. So I can safely delete them. I'll check for ssdtPRgen. Gonna try all that and see what it does! Maybe sleep will work, who knows!

Help would be very appreciated here.

It shows this even when using -target 4 as parameter (skylake)

Do you want to continue (y/n)?

You are probably not using a Skylake SMBIOS (hence the board-id error, which is really a warning).

You can either generate while using a Skylake SMBIOS, or choose to continue anyway.

Ok thanks. Seriously thanks a lot for your reply. I don't know how you find the time to do so much. Just wanted to let you know I'm thankful.

Any path you could lead me to get a working sleep function?

Edit: I changed my Board-ID to Mac-DB15BD556843C820

Note that board-id must match serial#, must match Mac model name, etc.

Just discovered that I also have a problem with screen resolution. The maximum I can get is 2048 x 1152. I should be able to get 3200 x 1800.

"About this Mac" shows the correct value: http://imgur.com/QJriYrt
"Default for display" value in Display sets me to 1600 x 900.

Scaled option does weird things.

The two first options don't work.
"Default" choice shows me this : http://imgur.com/F0mfXQt ('Looks like 1280 x 720')
The option between Default and More space is actually the one giving me the "better" choice : http://imgur.com/WV7NSzX ('Looks like 2048 x 1152')
"More space" option shows me this : http://imgur.com/DYTKidW ('Looks like 1600 x 900')



When I hold ALT and click on Scaled I also don't get the resolutions select box.

The most important right now is the sleep function, but this resolution thing is still a bug.

3200x1800 would be nonsense... text would be way too small.

I assume you're getting the retina SysPrefs->Displays with various sensible options for scaling...

The most important right now is the sleep function, but this resolution thing is still a bug.

There are many variables with sleep... but a good start is correct ACPI patching and power management.

chrinist is your HDMI outpout working? It doesn't work on mine.

Which SMBIOS? Which ig-platform-id?

Perhaps you need to enable port #7 (0304), or use a different ig-platform-id, or use a different SMBIOS. Lots of variables fit into that one too. And, of course, you need to have QE/CI working.
