DSDT patch requests

wiebevb replied to oldnapalm's topic in DSDT & Patch Requests

Hi, Unfortunately, I am unable to solve the sleeping/hibernating issue I encounter in Mojave. My hope is that DSDT patch will fix it. My system specs are: - 4790K (running on iGPU HD4600) - 2560p Dell monitor - MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard. - GTX 970, disabled due to lack of Mojave drivers. Thanks for your effort!
