UHCI/EHCI Built in with dsdt fix - Page 6

wwbsox · #51 09-04-2009, 03:28 PM

CPU-i is a utility I downloaded from applelife.ru (russian). I have used that in conjunction with CPUTEST w/ 4 instances running (prime95 like for Mac) to compare idle vs. fully loaded cpu readings. Another nice feature about CPU-i is it will list all of the p-states available for your CPU along with multiplier and voltage combinations for each, mine has six.

Using this information I should be able to add all six p-states to my dsdt. c-state information can be extracted from SSDT's and incorporated into dsdt also. I have found really good info on this including finished DSDT.aml for my processor (Q9550) but they were compiled on an Asus MB, so dsdt is quite different.

I plan on putting the software and some screen shots up this weekend.

Found good threads: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...owtopic=177497 and http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...owtopic=145792 (although I dont believe SSDT loading at boot is needed as these tables can now be included in DSDT directly. I think....

It would be extremely helpful if you can look at my dsd wwbsox! I was just beginning to think if It all started when I started using dsdt, prob not, but I just don't know what to think ATM.

I checked, and I believe my USB-Keyboard and Printer are affected at the same time, when affected. Maybe it's the BIOS version? Also, more rarely, there are times when my Display Color Profile isn't loaded, Launching Sys Prefs and clicking on Displays forces it to load properly. Maybe my GFX isn't set up properly through DSDT? I suppose I could try other settings in ACPI Patcher.

Can there be a conflict if I disable several things in BIOS, and the dsdt file has them all enabled, essentially? e.g. I disable all legacy ports/controllers.

I am on:
GA-P35-DS3L rev. 2
9800GT enabled with ACPI Patcher, as well as Ether, Sound.
Here is my dsdt.dsl file: http://kttns.org/0zjbl
and I want to verify, that all components/devices seem to work fine under Win7, which I dual boot into a few times.

When you look in system profiler. All your usb ports show as internal? Does the printer and keyboard show up under usb or high speed usb? I believe you stated you already tried disabling "Legacy usb" in the bios, maybe? I've read where that helped on other MB's but havent experienced your problem on the gigabyte p35 boards. I will take a look at your dsdt later tonight.

As far as disabling things in the bios... this will not change your dsdt. The dsdt is built from the full bios ROM, which has all ports/options available wether you have them selected in bios or not. Make sure you have updated your board to the latest available bios though. I have also read that this has fixed many bugs for other users.

If you think your dsdt may be causing the problem, try building one in acpi patcher from your downloaded bios rom file, and compile it with out all the patches and devices added. If you still have the problem, then you know it is something other than dsdt.

Missed your post m8

I don't think setup assistant will even show my modded keyboard layout because it isnt included in the bundle.
I wish there was a way to extract the dat files in the bundle though so I could actualy mod the default belgian keyboard layout.

@wwbsox, your keyboard and mouse are listed as High Speed USB devices? because on my rig they are not but the printer is.

Thx for the above info btw and good luck with the dsdt patching

btw, I just noticed I have my 8800GT listed in sys prof as PCI card. Everything works and I have input kDawgs code exactly as listed but without checking the proper PCI bus so at PCI0.

This is still ok right?

Thx

I haven't changed anything except remove the dsdt.aml from my root dir and keep it in E/E and the GFX is now listed as PCI-e

I'm not complaining though, just an odd observation, has a mind on its own apparently.

@Snow

My apple keyboard shows up in system profiler under high speed usb bus, my rocketfish apple mouse shows up just under usb. Also, I found a page that has the DSDT entry for your Q6600 to enable speedstep with all the p-states enabled. Gotta find the link again, I will get that to you later. I just need to find it for my Q9550.

Here is CPU-i.

Snow · #57 09-05-2009, 02:41 PM

Hmm, I really should get me one of those fancy apple keyboards. I guess the apple KB is USB2.0 and this Logitech Media KB is still at USB1.1.
Speedstep ey? I'm using VoodooPower in Leo, havent found a proper solution for Snow so that would be very welcome.
Thx a bunch for CPU-i m8, is that kext 64bit compatible btw?

Laters

ps. the above was a stupid mistake I made by checking PCI tab the first time and video tab on the second screenshot :/

Snow · #58 09-05-2009, 03:05 PM

Temps in Leo are low 30's, especially now with colder climate. I guess it doesn't drop the voltage properly.

wwbsox · #59 09-05-2009, 05:48 PM

I'm having the same problem. The multiplier/ frequency drops but the voltage always stays at the highest p-state.

But there is a way to enter into dsdt, the p-states and c-states available for your cpu. Still researching this but I am going to give it a try.

Alright, good luck lad, don't break anything
