[Guide] Disabling discrete graphics in dual-GPU laptops

[timkoop]

So should I do the same to "\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.RRAM" like I should have done to "\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.SPIN"?

Based on current APCI/origin, you should have in ACPI/patched:
DSDT.aml
SSDT.aml ( ssdtPRgen.sh )
SSDT-0.aml
SSDT-1.aml
SSDT-2.aml
SSDT-3.aml
SSDT-4.aml
SSDT-8.aml
SSDT-9.aml
SSDT-10.aml
SSDT-11.aml
SSDT-12.aml
SSDT-13.aml
SSDT-14.aml

I don't see any EC0.SPIN calls in your _OFF code path.

The only EC related code is the block I mention before in SSDT-13.dsl (ACPI/origin) in SGOF (called from _OFF).

The code you added to ACPI/patched/DSDT.aml (_REG) doesn't make any sense...

My DSDT/SSDT havn’t included EC0.SPIN, thats right... I'll remove it

Thanks for your help

Hello,

I've been following guide, everything went smooth, but it seems that it doesn't work because I can still see nvidia in system report under graphics/monitors or is it fine?

MacBook-Pro-Wojtek:RehabMan wojtek$ kextstat|grep -y acpiplat   13    2 0xffffff7f8274f000 0x60000    0x60000    com.apple.driver.AppleACPIPlatform (4.0) 3BE4E926-E063-3BBD-BE05-F6F97358C7A4 <12 11 7 6 5 4 3 1>

Thank you in advance for help.

Renames are not balanced. SSDT-7 is not patched with GFX0->IGPU rename.

I didn't check anything else.

Figure it out 2 mins ago on my own. It was rename problem, stupid mistake. Seems it's working fine now. Thanks for help

Hi RehabMan

My _OFF method located in:
DSDT
My _INI method located in:
DSDT
SSDT-4
SSDT-9

However, configurations are totally different from your example

- Toshiba Satellite Pro L50-A531
- intel core i7-4700MQ Haswell architecture
- Intel HD 4600
- Nvidia Geforce 740M
- 8 GB RAM
- Clover Bootloader
- OSX El Capitan 10.11.3

Major help needed for way forward ...

SSDT-4.aml and SSDT-9.aml are the same file (looks like you got some files mixed up).

If you need help post all native files (ACPI/origin from Clover F4 dump).

I Have attached my /CLOVER/ACPI/origin ... but when I used patchmatic -extract I got only up to SSDT4.

Now I am confused even more

Delete all files from EFI/Clover/ACPI/origin. Re-do the extract with Clover F4.
