Well after doing some searching around, it looks as though patching my DSDT for GFX (9600M GT), audio (Intel IDT 111D76B2), and sleep support is the way to go. However, it seems that trying to find DSDT information as it pertains to my system it quite difficult. I figured I would try to start small and fix the warnings I get when running DSDT patcher and then tackling supporting my hardware once I have a grasp on what I'm doing. When running DSDT, I encounter 31 warnings:

Starting at the beginning, it looks as through the Method (_HOT, 0, Serialized) If (LGreaterEqual (OSYS, 0x07D6)) should be returning a value, but it's not.
ThermalZone (TZ01)
{
Method (_HOT, 0, Serialized)
{
If (LGreaterEqual (OSYS, 0x07D6))
{
If (LEqual (\_SB.PCI0.LPC.EC0.QUAD, One))
{
Return (0x0E94)
}
Else
{
If (LEqual (TJMX, 0x64))
{
Return (0x0EC6)
}
}
If (LEqual (TJMX, 0x55))
{
Return (0x0E30)
}
}
}
At this point, I find myself looking at random numerous solutions, but I'm not sure what will work for my system, and how I'm able to tell if a particular fix would do more damage than good. For example, I found this webpage and it shows what I believe to be a possible solution. So I replace the original Method with:
Method (_HOT, 0, Serialized)
{
If (LEqual (OSYS, 0x07D6))
{
If (LEqual (\_SB.TJ85, Zero))
{
Return (Add (0x0AAC, Multiply (TPC, 0x0A)))
}
Else
{
Return (Add (0x0AAC, Multiply (TP85, 0x0A)))
}
}
}
Afterwards I receive 82 errors, so obviously that's not correct! Any help with general warning corrections... or if you're up to patching my GFX card, audio, and sleep issues :D ... would be very much appreciated!!! I'm just looking for someone to point me in the right direction...
