DSDT Striker 2 Extreme Help

Hello folks, wonderful forum we have here! So much information, yet I continue to seek your help!

So I have 10.5.8 running on my system, using EFI Strings for my dual 9800 GTX, but I am attempting to move on to Leopard. I am aware of the DSDT Patching needed for Snow Leopard to patch the CMOS reset, but I also am aware I can incorporate my graphics, audio, LAN, USB fix, power fix, RTC fix, and many more straight into the DSDT file. Also, I hear you can patch a bios to flash to the motherboard and DSDT becomes obsolete.... well thats my final goal! A DSDT patched BIOS, but in the meantime, I need help applying those patches to my DSDT file. I am aware of extracting DSDT, I know a BIT about the patches required (using DSDTSE) but I have NO clue how to do LAN, Audio, or Graphics. Hell, I even have a tough time doing small stuff like USB fix as my DSDT isnt similar to that of the guides I saw.

Well anyway, my system is as follows;
Asus Striker II Extreme - nVidia 790i Ultra SLI
2 x 2 GB DDR3 1333 mhz OCZ HPC RAM
500GB Western Digital Caviar (Multi OS) - SATA
18gb (OS X) - IDE
250GB Maxtor (Snow Leopard Install) - SATA
2 x 9800 GTX
Intel Q9650 Quad Core

Basically i'm trying to do a retail install, and keep it as vanilla as possible. I intend to use Snow on a hard drive with Win 7 and Win XP on it...

Hi,

a quick guide:

Download Ubuntu Live CD from ubuntu web site, burn and boot from CD. You'll be in Ubuntu 9.10 desktop. Default user is ubuntu and home folder is /home/ubuntu.

From top menu bar, accessories (system) launch terminal:

Code:
sudo apt-get install iasl
to install iasl compiler/decompiler. If you have problems with package manager finding it, open (also via terminal):

Code:
sudo nano /etc/sources.list
and uncomment universe and multiverse repositories. Save after editing with ctrl+o followed by enter. Ctrl+x to exit. Update source.
Code:
sudo apt-get update
and install again
Code:
sudo apt-get install iasl
You might not need to uncomment them (if they are not commented out by default). But you will need them for installing 'acpidump' for later dsdt patching stuff.

As i said default user in LiveCD is 'ubuntu' so go to your desktop via terminal for easier navigating and accessing files (they will be on your desktop)

Code:
cd /home/ubuntu/Desktop
cat /proc/acpi/dsdt > dsdt.aml
Now you'll have it on your desktop. With iasl decompile it to have a readable format.
Code:
iasl -d dsdt.aml
Now you'll have decompiled dsdt.dsl also on your desktop which you can open/edit with dbl. click, open it with Gedit. You can save both files to your usb flash and transfer to OSX for future editing.

Done. So let's start from here.
