[Guide] Installing El Capitan on Spectre x360 (Skylake)

[RehabMan]

Kextstat only worked for acpiplat
Zip is attached
I also think that min is disabled, DVMT may be set to more than 96mb (on windows it says it's 128mb but then I read you said windows 10 can be a unreliable source for this. I was just about to set it through uefi shell before I read about some laptops becoming damaged by doing this. And I ran the patch linked from the faq to patch iokit (it was a .command file). However still no dice. Do I need to patch the DVMT in the config.plist?
Thanks

ACPI is not patched correctly, power management is not implemented (no GFX0->IGPU rename, no SSDT from ssdtPRgen.sh, AppleLPC is not loaded, etc).

I think the issue is that 2560x1440 is not high enough to trigger the retina behavior. You might try setting up a custom display override file to get the HiDPI resolutions, although I'm not sure it can help you get the special SysPrefs->Displays prefpane.

Hi RehabMan,

I would appreciate it if you could point me the right direction to getting sleep to work on my Spextre x360 13-4104ng (Skylake i5 6200U).

I patched the DSDT and SSDT files to the best of my abilities and everything seems to work fine, including brightness fn-keys and graphics (due to DVMT patched BIOS) - except sleep. The laptop wakes up right after going to sleep, regardless of whether I use either of the USB3_PRW patches or not.

Thank you.

Best, Franz

ACPI is not patched correctly here...

The correct set of SSDTs are not present, DropOem is set wrong, and the DSDT is not patched for instant wake (need _PRW 0x6d patch). I didn't check any further.

See guide: http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-patching-laptop-dsdt-ssdts.152573/

You should have in ACPI/patched:
DSDT.aml
SSDT.aml (from ssdtPRgen.sh)
SSDT-0.aml
SSDT-1.aml
SSDT-2.aml
SSDT-3.aml
SSDT-4.aml
SSDT-5.aml

Thank you for your help. I will apply your suggestions and report back.

So in other words I can just set a HiDPi resolution of 2560x1440 ?

Do you think setting smbios to the Macbook 12 and then using the resolution of 2304x1440 might work ?

You can use HiDPI resolutions, I'm just not sure you're going to get the retina SysPrefs->Displays.

You can try other SMBIOS (and ig-platform-id) to see if it has an effect.

I have got AppleLPC and Acpiplat to load, however Appleintelcpu hasn't loaded. For this last kext to load is it an issue with my DSDT and SSDT?

Your profile does not indicate which hardware you have, but I suspect it is newer than Ivy Bridge.

AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement is not used on Haswell or later.

Does that mean that my native power management is working? Secondly could you help me get the battery level working. None of the patches in this thread people have suggested are working because MacIASL won't let me apply them (apply is greyed out).
