OC: ASUS Vivobook N580GD (I2C & HDMI fix)

[Denisuu]

Hi,

I replaced my motherboard in my laptop, I managed to get everything except Trackpad and HDMI working. Before I had N580VD (I7-7700HQ) now I have N580GD (I5-8300H). On the Kaby Lake model it was impossible to get this trackpad working with interrupts due to a bugged ASUS GPIO pin. I hope on the newer Coffee Lake model it's possible to get interrupts working. (At the moment the trackpad doesn't work at all, not even under polling.)

Trackpad: With VoodooI2C.kext, VoodooI2CHID.kext and SSDT-GPI0.aml ETDP shows in IOreg, but settings shows 'No trackpad found' though.

Trackpad info:

• Path: _SB.PCI0.I2C1
• Device: ETPD
• Pin: 0x05F
• GPIO: Unpinned

I found an SSDT on TonyMac for my laptop, but it doesn't make my trackpad work. (My Laptop doesn't have touch-screen, or USTP under I2C1) LINK: SSDT-I2C1_USTP.aml 

HDMI: The HDMI port and USB-C to HDMI don't work.I tried to insert the values below that I found in the same topic on TonyMac no HDMI output on both, only a difference in VRAM.

• When I only have ig-platform-id in my config.plist VRAM shows as 1536MB

• When I add all the values found in an EFI on TonyMac VRAM shows up as 2048MB. LINK: TonyMac N580GD (I7-8750H) EFI

Questions:

• Is there any benefit in having 2GB VRAM as compared to 1,5GB?
• Do you think it's possible to make the SSDT above work for my laptop? (Or this one: SSDT-ETPD.dsl) Or could you patch my DSDT only for I2C?
• Could you help me to get HDMI/USB-C Display working? 

Thanks in advance!

Trackpad is working now! Is it working in interrupts mode? How can I see which one is active?

HDMI is still not working.

Trackpad also works with this one. What's the difference? Interrupts is not possible?

I already tried patching with Hackintool, it didn't work. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

if all working good with trackpad just use polling

[Denisuu]

The problem with polling on Asus laptops is that the trackpad sometimes stops working for a while. Normally ELAN1200 should work with interrupts on Coffee Lake and above. What should I do to try get it working in interrupts?

I don't see this in the patched DSDT where I can try different pins:

   Name (SBFG, ResourceTemplate ()
    {
        GpioInt (Level, ActiveLow, ExclusiveAndWake, PullDefault, 0x0000,
            "\\_SB.PCI0.GPI0", 0x00, ResourceConsumer, ,
            )
            {   // Pin list
                0x17
            }
    })

Can you send a DSDT with only trackpad fixes? I want try turn it in to an SSDT.

I also can't seem to get HDMI working. I found this in Windows and on the Intel site: 

• Device ID: 0x3E9B
• Under display information it shows: Display 2: Connected to Intel(R) UHD Graphics 630 (So not to dGPU)

I tried the values from below and Hackintool patches.

I know I'm asking a lot, I don't mind donating again if you can help me get HDMI and interrupts working.

in this case is just a windows patch

use renames _osi to xosi with ssdt for test

dsdt have many others good patches  

[Denisuu]

SSDT-XOSI + Config.plist renames from Dortania don't work. Rehabman's SSDT-XOSI also doesn't work.

Ok I will use your DSDT, but wake up from keyboard doesn't work. Can you try to add interrupts?

DSDT.aml.zip

what happens with hdmi?

[Denisuu]

Trackpad worked once I changed 0x0017 to 0x001B. How can I verify it's in interrupts in IOreg?

Sleep is broken now though.

FN + Brightness also doesn't work.

 Name (SBFG, ResourceTemplate ()
            {
                GpioInt (Level, ActiveLow, ExclusiveAndWake, PullDefault, 0x0000,
                    "\\_SB.PCI0.GPI0", 0x00, ResourceConsumer, ,
                    )
                    {   // Pin list
                        0x001B
                    }

HDMI doesn't do anything. My display shows: "No HDMI signal from your device"

Brightness keys and sleep work again, but now trackpad is broken again.

seems like a cache problem

That fixed it.

HDMI is the only thing that doesn't work now. Everything else works perfectly.

try other video patch

No doesn't work, my laptop screen turns black for a second so it detects I attach HDMI but display says "No HDMI signal from your device". Hackintool doesn't show anything connected either. 

[MaLd0n]

hey

i think in google have this video patch. is a personal thing. need some test

u can search with ur processor model

I already tried every I5-8300H/I7-8750H patch I could find. So strange I can't get it to work while it works perfectly in Windows and it's attached to iGPU not dGPU. 

This new motherboard shipped without serial numbers, could this be causing the problem? If I want my ethernet port to work I always have to spoof my MAC address through terminal so maybe HDMI doesn't work without motherboard serial or something?

I already requested if someone could help me recover MAC & Serials here: [HELP] ASUS N580GD - Missing Serial, MAC-address (& Unlock hidden settings)

very strange

idk what happens ion this case  

[Denisuu]

I fixed it by going through all Bus-ID's. This way I found out that HDMI is on con2 Bus-ID 02.

The only thing that's not working yet is audio over HDMI. Adding this to iGPU doesn't do anything. I also tried to add my audio device under PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1F,0x30) but that doens't work either.

try other layout id

add hda-gfx only in igpu patch

[Denisuu]

CX8150 only has layout-id 21 and 22 it doesn't work on either.

I only added HDA-GFX to the igpu patch and alcid=21 to boot arguments.
