BirdDog44 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Hello, I am fairly computer literate, but DSDT is totally new to me. I could not find information on how to read, interpret and modify coherently the info within. I managed to pull out these two files, but now don't know where to begin with DSDT modifications. I played with Kexts to have the laptop semi functionnal. Now if i boot in arch=i386, i get sound and a Zydas USB-WiFi adaptor working, on top of built in ethernet. No luck on built-in wifi. If i just boot, then, no ethernet, wifi, zydas, sound... Limited. Trackpad works with a few acceptable glitches in both x64 and i386 and i get some occasional shutdown to login screen in both mode (i am thinking it has to do with graphic animation on launching app) Thanks for any pointers.

Beta1382643440 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Here is a edited DSDT. I did not have to do much since your DSDT was very clean and tidy to start with. DSDT.aml.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BirdDog44 Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 ok, i had a major problem with the laptop and finally made a clean install. Triple boot, Kubuntu, Win7 and Lion. I put the DSDT you gave me at the root of Lion partition as well as in the /Extra folder. Is there anything else i should do with the file because it doesnt seem to make a difference. EDIT: My system info shows nothing in the ethernet, card reader, wifi. The audio does show Intel HD audio, but i have no sound. Havent tried HDMI, but i doubt it would work. Do i have to reinstall the realtek, atheros and VoodooHda intel 3100 graphic kexts in order to get ethenet, wifi and sound respectively? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beta1382643440 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 You must boot with arch=i386 to make your GPU work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
