DSDT Request: Asus M5A97 BIOS rev. 1208 and Geforce 9500gt

[misterfrista]

Hello!

I tried the guide on this site with the following patch i have found, which is exactly for my graphics card, but i get 201 erros! I tried to inject the hexstring in chameleon before, but it gave me just a black screen!

The problem i have is that i dont have a P0P device and IORegistryExplorer tells me its PC02@2.

I´ll attach a clean windows extracted dsdt.aml !

Thanks alot!!

System:

-Asus M5A97 BIOS rev. 1208

-Amd X8 FX8120

- Palit Nvidia Geforce9500GT 1GB DVI/VGA/HDMI

Remove the last } in the code you posted, it has no pair.

Insert the code into PC02 and apply the DTGP patch too.

[misterfrista]

Hey thanks for reply!

The DSDT itself compiled successful but now I´ve got black and white rectangles.

Before I patched the DSDT the system always loaded something like NV50HAL.

Do I have to remove this kext?

[Cassio]

No, this kext is needed for graphics acceleration.

Have you tried GraphicsEnabler=yes?

[misterfrista]

Yes I tried GraphicsEnabler=Yes with the same result!

Edit: Ohh no I made a mistake. The Vram size is wrong. I disassambled my graphics card and found out it only has 512mb so the compiled dsdt must be wrong.

I got the NVram string 0400000000000300040000000000000700000000.

Is it possible to use my card with this patch just by editing the vram size?

[Cassio]

You can try, just change

                                "VRAM,totalsize",
                               Buffer (0x04)
                               {
                                    0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x20
                               },

[misterfrista]

I tried it and also edited my NVCAP but no luck.

Still getting Black and white..
