Can you tell what is the best method to extract DSDT in order to send it to you ?

Use MaciASL - Browse Files at SourceForge.net
MaciASL/File/New from ACPI/DSDT

Hi,

I finally resolved my graphic card problem by updating the bootloader and specifying graphics options into the configuration file.

To update the bootloder, I used "Chameleon Wizard.app" which I found here : http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7085278/Chameleon_Installer/download.html

You just have to launch the software and to go to "Installation / Update".

Now I have Chameleon revision 2283.

I aslo had to specify graphic output (diplay_1 = DVI) and resolution (on a video projector = 1280x720)

Here is the content of my "org.chameleon.Boot.plist" file :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">

<string>Yes</string>
<key>GeneratePStates</key>

<string>2</string>
<key>UseKernelCache</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>display_1</key>
<string></string>
</dict>
</plist>

My graphic card is now recognized as "Pegatron GeForce GT 425M 512 Mo". In reallity, it has 1024 Mo but now there is no more video problem on boot.

So, I am pretty sure it will help damrxyz with his video problem. Tell us !

I also have installed Mavericks and everything is working fine, except CD/DVD. I used toleda's kext (see a few posts before) and my WIFI card is now well recognized. Thanks a lot toleda !

I'll create a new thread telling how to install Mavericks on this super computer.

Regards

My dsdt is for the 156B version. Attach the dsdt that is giving errors.

Here it is ! It's from Peter Haas.

I asked him if he could ask you to communicate with me by email for woking on the DSDT, I think it would be easier (private message would also be OK).

First of all, thanks for all the support

After the last trick, I finally got it to work. The asrock have running smooth since before x-mas.

Of course, now I have to try your new mavericks installation
