[Guide] Dual boot Windows and Yosemite with Clover EFI Boot Loader on a Acer Aspire V Nitro VN7-591G

[ylums]

My touchpad works, even tap to click. I think you will need the VoodooPS2Controller.kext if I am not mistaken. Do you have that file in /EFI/CLOVER/kexts/other ??

Weird. My touchpad works after restarting
One more, my battery indicator is showing percentage. I thought it's not working ?




Edited : Not sure if it's working. I charged until 92% in MacOS and restarted.Then I booted into Windows but it's only showing 88% (Instead of 92%)

My battery indicator is not working. Are you using a custom kext? Did you modify your DSDT by following Rehabman's battery tutorial? I can live without it, but it would be nice to get working. I think the 4% difference is normal? Two different OS's perhaps report things differently? Not sure.

I applied the Acer 3820tg patch from Rehabman on my DSDT and I used the acpibatterymanager.kext .

It that patch is working well, I'll add a comment in the patch for Acer Nitro...

I attached my DSDT.

Here is my screenshot when I charged my laptop to 100% and still plugging in.

DSDT needs patching... note:

Rehabman,

Here is my raw, unaltered DSDT.dsl (zipped). When I refer to your battery patching tutorial and search for "EmbeddedControl" using MaciASL, it is making reference to RAM, but nothing under it seems higher than 8-bit. I am thoroughly confused how to get this battery status working. Keep in mind that ylums used the Acer 3820tg patch on his DSDT. The one I am attaching is straight from a Linux ACPI dump. I am obviously missing something, but don't know what exactly to look for, and how to fix.

One more thing, I pair with my phone via bluetooth to access the Internet. But once I restarted, it seems not working anymore. Weird. Same with ikayhan

Read post #26.

Make sure you disassemble your DSDT/SSDTs correctly. See guide:http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-laptop-support/152573-guide-patching-laptop-dsdt-ssdts.html

What bluetooth hardware do you have?
