For sure they use USB SD Reader i bet on that...
Wonder where did PentiumPC go...

Maybe he can release the source for ACPI4Asus.kext to help us understand what he did and maybe someone can continue his work, if he has no time for that, for the rest of the custom "OEM" stuff that make our life's so PITA.

I was using Natit.kext for GMA950 on Acer Aspire 3680. No artifacts....that I can confirm. Right now I'm using EFI string. Don't forget to restore vanilla AppleIntelIntegratedFramebuffer.kext. Don't get excited yet, dual monitor only works with mirror mode.

I still unable to get display working with DSDT yet except for nVidia Go 7300 on Aspire 9420.

So no news here also :/

King,

It may be that your DSDT just has functions defined for Windows, especially since Linux guys also had problems.

Have you talked to or contacted the people at OSXCORES? They have patched BIOSes for OSX:

M50SV AS207ASUS

M50V as209
ASUS

I'm not sure what fixes they have made, but they do custom work too. See:
http://www.osxcores.site50.net/services.htm

Perhaps they can help.

uman,

Just got a reply from Superhai. Its look like Superhai will not continue AMW0 project.

Is there anybody interested continuing his project?

Other topic.....
Sleep:-
I found out that by deleting entry for EHCI devices in Acer Aspire 9420 DSDT, it was able to sleep. Now the EHCI devices detected as external/expansion card. Funny thing is external hard disk, which connected to EHCI port, is not turn off when putting laptop to sleep. Is this also happen with real MacBook?

I tried to compare DSDT from MacBook3,1 with mine and I found this:-
Acer Aspire 9420:-

Code:

        Method (_L03, 0, NotSerialized)
        {
            Notify (\_SB.PCI0.USB1, 0x02)
        }

MacBook3,1:-

Code:

        Method (_L03, 0, NotSerialized)
        {
            Notify (\_SB.PCI0.UHC1, 0x02)
            Notify (\_SB.PWRB, 0x02)
        }

I know that "Notify (\_SB.SLPB, 0x80)" will put computer to sleep but I don't know what "Notify (\_SB.PWRB, 0x02)" do. Do you know what "Notify (\_SB.PWRB, 0x02)" means? In my DSDT, PWRB is handle by SLPB (handle both sleep-button & power-button).

I also found "extra" method in EHCI function (MacBook3,1):-

Code:

                Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
                {
                    Store (Package (0x07)
                        {
                            "AAPL,current-available", 
                            0x04B0, 
                            "AAPL,current-extra", 
                            0x02BC, 
                            "AAPL,current-in-sleep", 
                            0x03E8, 
                            Buffer (0x01)
                            {
                                0x00
                            }
                        }, Local0)
                    DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))
                    Return (Local0)
                }

I think instead of removing EHCI entry from DSDT, maybe I can use this code to set EHCI device as external device. Maybe this can fix sleep issue too.

Clamshell:-
Does real MacBook automatically resume from sleep when lid is open? Or still need to push keyboard button to resume from sleep, just like windows?

I wish I could say yes, but my son's Acer has qualified for a replacement. So I won't have a machine that has an AMW0 to test. And that is a huge problem for development. As I understand it, Superhai's AMW0 basically allows you to call into the AMW0 device. The Linux project acer-acpi (and it's successor wmi-acpi) does the same, and supplies some utilities so that you can call/respond to the AMW0 methods.

The IOKit doc is pretty good at showing how to make a user-callable module that calls in-kernel routines. So if you know (or have someone who has an Acer and knows C) it shouldn't be hard to hack. My suggestion is to start a mini-group of Acer users, and see if anyone has any dev experience amongst the group.

I don't think you want to delete the EHCI devices. I think you need to Notify them like on my MacBook Pro DSDT.

The Mac has 3 devices: PWRB (power button), SLPB (sleep button), and LID0 (the lid switch). Most hackbooks don't have all of these. I believe my gateway only had SLPB (although I am not sure-- my DSDT.dsl does have a PWRB, but I may have added it).

The power button has multiple functions. Normally if you hit it, it brings up a menu to sleep, shutdown, restart or cancel. But when the Mac is already sleeping (not thru lid sleep), it will wake from sleep. there is also some programmatic control of it in the System preferences. When a Mac has slept through the lid switch, then opening the lid switch resumes the Mac.

                            }
                        }, Local0)

Strange my Macbook dsdt does not have this code AT ALL.

Opening the lid resumes from sleep.

I'm sorry I can't be of much use now. I'm hoping next week that I will find the time to backup and do a retail install of 10.5.7. Only then will I try more DSDT hacking, since right now my machine is a mess of hacked kexts!

Has anyone done any work trying to integrate multiple video cards? I've been searching for weeks. Trying to find info regarding DSDT in general is tough.

[quote=candykane;26401]Fixing sleep and usb after wake up

I finally fixed sleep on my lappie!

Hi candykane,

did you already update to 10.5.8 and is your sleep fix stillworking?
Apple probably changed something in Powermanagement which is breaking sleep on most installs.
Do you use Openhaltrestart.kext or is sleep working without it?

Thanks Al

This one I got it off some site, cannot remember where. (credit goes to him/her)
This will activate your power button to bring up the shutdown menu.

hmm weird, tried doing this on my gigabyte board but the shutdown menu wont show, when i press the power button my hack will just sleep thats it
