[DSDT REQUEST] ASUS U 36SD

[jamajamajama]

I'm sure a lot of people will be interested in having Lion on this laptop, since it offers great value for money spent. The specs are:

 

• i5 2410 2.3 GHz
• 4 GB memory
• Intel HD3000 and GT520M graphics
• 2xUSB 2.0, 1x USB 3.0, HDMI, VGA and Ethernet ports
• 500 GB harddrive
• No optical drive
• Weight 1.66 kg (3.7 lb)

 

I used the installation procedure and kexts described here:

Working so far:

• Battery
  
• Audio
  
• Graphics: Intel HDMI and laptop display
  
• Cardreader (does not show in system profiler but works)
  
• USB3 (have not tested with a USB3 device)
  
• Ethernet: Atheros 8151
  
• Wireless: Atheros 9825
  
• Bluetooth: Atheros 3011 requires a reboot via windows to turn it on

 

Not working:

• Sleep, shutdown and proper power management
  
• GT 520M is recognized but not used
  
• HDMI audio
  
• VGA: only recognized if external display is attached before boot and the picture is very bad

 

I tried to look at the DSDT to enable sleep, since that and Bluetooth are the only things I would really like to get working. I had no success in the edits and it's actually way too advanced for me. I'm now asking for someone with DSDT editing skills to take a look at the unmodified DSDT. This laptop is very promising and I think a custom DSDT would benefit many people (including me of course).
