You can use the ProBook Installer to generate a custom SSDT for that CPU, but use only the SSDT option. If you're using Clover, you'll have to copy the SSDT.AML placed in /Extra/ssdt.aml to EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched (and turn off Clovers auto-generate pstate/cstate).

But since you're using Clover, you're probably generating pstates/cstates automatically. Clover's auto-generate is not as good (in my experience) as Pike's ssdtPRgen.sh script (used by the ProBook Installer), but it is automatic and there would be nothing you'd need to do because of the CPU upgrade.

Well, then I won't bother anymore with it.
I get as many P-states as before, if not more, anyway.

As for Ulysse31:
I downloaded the kext before your post was taken down. It definitely works, but trackpad movement is pretty jerky, no matter what settings I use it at. But for now, it's still a great improvement.

Hi all again,

@rehabman: sorry, was not done with bad intention (was not asking for money in exchange of features, just for helping a poor dev ...)

Finally god something "kinda" stable, and also "kind of" usable, some bugs where coming from packet validation and others from error handling.
I have commit it to my subversion (gonna move to git soon , i just haven't code in a "shared" project since some time ^^)

Here is a "release" version (no debug) :

Please ! backup your old kext to test this one ! try it before to be sure that it's "basic" features (and possible remaining bugs) feets your uses.

For now :
- basic tap to click (no double tap hold)
- basic two fingers scrolling (no smooth momentum)

Maybe Later / TODO :
- better scrolling management
- double tap hold (moving an object, selecting various)
- 3 fingers movements
- zoom

Regards to all,

Thanks for your encouragement, will work more on it this week end, and try to bring it even better ^^
Cheers.

It is c-states that are the problem with Clover auto-generate.

No worries it is just the rules...

There is a learning curve to git, but once you learn it you won't want to use use svn anymore.

Can you confirm if we need to install your L322_A09_OSX.bin for the BIOS.
Do you also have a zipped package for clover? When does this get installed?
What are the chances of a walkthrough for mavericks?

I used unibeast to create the bootable usb installer... is this ok? Can I use multibeast after to mod the kexts.

Thanks,

Thanks a lot! I've tried it and it had no response in half of the time. The OS X 10.9 restarted automatically several times but at least the system found the cypress touchpad and didn't recognize it as mouse like before. Best wishes!
