Hi again! Thanks! just a quick question: Which ACPI Specification on MaciASL should I use? 4.0 ASL Optimizing Compiler version 20100331 [Dec 31 2012] Copyright © 2000 - 2010 Intel Corporation Supports ACPI Specification Revision 4.0 5.0A ASL Optimizing Compiler version 20131218-64 [Jan 8 2014] Copyright © 2000 - 2013 Intel Corporation 5.1 ASL Optimizing Compiler version 20140926-64 [Oct 24 2014] Copyright © 2000 - 2014 Intel Corporation Or do I have to use a newer iasl version that does not exist in MaciASL and where can I download t from? (https://www.acpica.org/downloads). Does it make any difference? Thanks again!!! seb

Hi! Thanks again for your help!!!! I have been looking at the patches you have applied and read around to understand and improve my novice DSDT editing skills I have a four questions on the edits you have applied: diff 1: original Name (APCB, 0xFEC00000) your edit Name (APCB, 0x0000000FEC000000) question: Is this valid? diff 2: original // all instances of this Return (Buffer (0x10) { 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x08, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 }) your edit // turn to this Return (Buffer (0x10) { }) question: Why is this edit? I have noticed a lot of different values inside the Buffer. diff 3: original Name (PML1, 0x00000846) Name (PML2, 0x00000846) Name (PML3, 0x00000846) Name (PML4, 0x00000846) Name (PML5, 0x00000846) Name (PML6, 0x00000846) Name (PML7, 0x00000846) Name (PML8, 0x00000846) Name (PNL1, 0x00000846) Name (PNL2, 0x00000846) Name (PNL3, 0x00000846) Name (PNL4, 0x00000846) Name (PNL5, 0x00000846) Name (PNL6, 0x00000846) Name (PNL7, 0x00000846) Name (PNL8, 0x00000846) your edit Name (PML1, 0x0846) Name (PML2, 0x0846) Name (PML3, 0x0846) Name (PML4, 0x0846) Name (PML5, 0x0846) Name (PML6, 0x0846) Name (PML7, 0x0846) Name (PML8, 0x0846) Name (PNL1, 0x0846) Name (PNL2, 0x0846) Name (PNL3, 0x0846) Name (PNL4, 0x0846) Name (PNL5, 0x0846) Name (PNL6, 0x0846) Name (PNL7, 0x0846) Name (PNL8, 0x0846) question: It looks the same to me. Do you have to change it? diff 4: original // Method (_PS3, 0, Serialized) Method (_PS0, 0, Serialized) { If (LEqual (DVID, 0xFFFF)) { Return (Zero) } Store (MEMB, Local2) Store (PDBM, Local1) And (PDBM, 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF9, PDBM) Store (D0D3, Local3) Store (Zero, D0D3) Store (SRMB, MEMB) your edit // Method (_PS3, 0, Serialized) Method (_PS0, 0, Serialized) { If (LEqual (DVID, 0xFFFF)) {} Store (MEMB, Local2) Store (PDBM, Local1) And (PDBM, 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF9, PDBM) Store (D0D3, Local3) Store (Zero, D0D3) Store (SRMB, MEMB) question: By removing the 'Return (Zero)' you mainly cancel out the if. Is it what you indended? And one last thing. The motherboard has 'Realtek ALC 221'. Is there any native solution other than Voodoo for audio? Thanks again for you great great help and happy new year!!!!!

Hi!!!! Thanks for your help!!!!! I am trying to understand how you did it. I noticed that you got rid off External (_SB_.PCI0.PEG0, UnknownObj) External (_SB_.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP, UnknownObj) External (_SB_.PCI0.PEG1, UnknownObj) External (_SB_.PCI0.PEG2, UnknownObj) and in the External* statements you have converted FieldUnitObj/IntObj/MethodObj to UnknownObj. Is there a reason for this? Also I have seen the changes/patches you have applied by diffing the files. Can you please let me know what type of patches you have applied? I am trying to undestand what needs to be done!!! Thanks again! Panagiotis

Hi, I have an HP Desktop (HP EliteDesk 800 G1 TWR) which has a Q87 chipset and a I5-4690 Haswell processor. It has a 4600 Intel GPU on board, however I have disabled it and used an ASUS GeForce GT 630 4GB. El Capitan is working fine with Clover with the exception of USB3. I have extracted the stock ACPI tables using clover. However I am facing some issues with compile. I have used 'ASL+ Optimizing Compiler version 20141107-64 [Jan 2 2015]' to convert DSDT.aml to DSDT.dsl with the command: ./iasl -da -dl SSDT*.aml DSDT.aml This gives me warning: iASL Warning: There were 17 external control methods found during disassembly, but only 10 were resolved (7 unresolved). Additional ACPI tables may be required to properly disassemble the code. The resulting disassembler output file may not compile because the disassembler did not know how many arguments to assign to the unresolved methods. Then I open the DSDT.aml on MaciASL make a couple of changes: 1. get rid of a number of 'Zero' lines 2. fix an if block. When I try to compile the code (using ACPI specification 5.1) I get two errors (and many warnings). I attach the DSL file I got from the decompile. Is it possible to help me with the compilation? What about the '7 unresolved' are they supposed to be resolved somehow or I should just ignore the warning? Thanks!!!! and happy new year! DSDT.zip
