G41M-ES2L dsdt everything working

@emcourtneyI just bought one of these boards as my first project. I'll try your patch and let you know how it goes over the next few weeks.

It's a good board for osx the only real quirk being the sound.

@emcourtneySo far so good. Sleep works, restart too. I figured out the sound thing. Video works too but there is one thing to straighten out, there is no video on the DVI port when loginWindow should start. I boot -v and get all the messages but no gui once its done booting. VGA works, and at 1680x1050 too. Any insight?

The problem will be the nvcap value "looks like this in DSDT"

"NVCAP",
Buffer (0x18)
{
/* 0000 */ 0x04, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x03, 0x00,
/* 0008 */ 0x0C, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x07,
/* 0010 */ 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00
},

You probably need to make your own, I'd try googling it. There are ways to make your own or you might find someone else has value for your specific card.

@xwin78What BIOS Version did you use?

I didn't
This has been adapted from a dsdt made to emulate a real mac for a different gigabyte board, I can't remember who's the original work was I think it was roisoft.

My bios version is either 8 or 9 can't remember at the mo

Hi I can't list all the fixes as I explained in this thread the dsdt was someone elses work for a different board "if it was you roisoft thanks" and I just adapted it for other gigabyte boards and added some extra fixes.
What do you mean by scroll doesn't work?
I don't believe changing lpcb would make any difference. But why change it?

Thanks I'll give it a try

Hi! I have bad English. I'm Russian;) I have hackintosh configuration:
M\B: Gigabyte G41M-ES2L (REV1.1, F6 BIOS)
CPU: Core 2 Quad Q6600 (NOT Overclock)
RAM: 2X 1 GB PC5300 DDR2.
Video card: Nvidia Geforce 8600 GT 512MB DD2.
HDD: 320GB + 500GB (all SATA)
DVD: Optiarc DVD RW AD-5170A (IDE)
Keyboard and mouse - USB.
I use DSDT (in attach) for my hackintosh. All OK... But hackintosh detecting
only 2 cores CPU... Could you make DSDT for me? Need dsdt from my mobo?

I want to thank you for your DSDT but I still wish it had PS/2 support...

I managed to add it myself but scroll doesn't work... need some help here

Is it because I changed LPCB id from 3A18 to 27B9 to reflect ICH7M instead of ICH10 ?

I could identify some of your mods but certainly not all of them, would you mind listing all the mods you made, in detail ?
