It should be very similar
Can you provide details as to how I need to apply the DSDT patches? I'm not familiar to this AT ALL and don't want to screw something up.
EDIT: Also the BIOS doesn't show the options anywhere on what to enable/disable and change. Is that because it needs an update or because mines a newer model?
You're going to have to follow the instructions from: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-patching-laptop-dsdt-ssdts.152573/ to apply the DSDT patches. It's been half a year since I did this.
As for the options in the BIOS, at the bottom right of the BIOS main screen there should be a button for Advanced Options. I think you can just press F7.
Yeah I found the advanced options. They seem to be different. Maybe I need a BIOS update? Also I would prefer to create my own patches (As DSDT can be specific down to the individual machine). How should I achieve doing this or should I just go with the ones provided?
Okay there is no option to disable secure boot and CSM Support is grayed out with "Disabled"
EDIT: Just kidding! I found it.
You BIOS is already up to date. To create your own DSDT patches follow this link as I've mentioned previously: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-patching-laptop-dsdt-ssdts.152573/.
Please read and follow the instructions in the above link before going down further here: Use the MaciASL 6.1 application that you should have downloaded from the above link: Go to Preferences, and make sure iASL 6.1 is selected. Click the Sources tab, click the “+” and the following Patch Info: Name = Rehabman URL = http://raw.github.com/RehabMan/Laptop-DSDT-Patch/master
Okay thank you. I'm not sure if I want to totally take the risk yet. Since I've read through that already and I'm still wildly confused about DSDT.....
EDIT: Also why does this guide specify Sierra instead of High Sierra?
Oh that's because my usb wifi adapter doesn't work on High Sierra. Only Sierra and below
So this would be the same with High Sierra?
Yes
Question, did you happen to make any modifications to these kexts? I tried to update them but keep getting kextd stall[0], (240s) 'AppleACPICPU'
Edit: All of the latest versions of the kexts along with Lilu+WhateverGreen included breaks Trackpad Support. However leaving the old PS2/I2C Kexts freezes at boot. What should I do?
Nevermind. No Battery Indicator (Showing false reading) and the trackpad is acting super weird, I go to move it and it keeps moving and is not identifying clicks correctly.
Fixed Trackpad, but battery still shows up as 0% and Keyboard Brightness Keys don't work
DSDT patches aren't working. Only compile error I got was with SSDT-5 with syntax, I can't find the problem though! SSDT-5.dsl.zip
I didn't make any modifications to the kexts. Keyboard brightness keys never worked on mine either. I think for DSDT patches you have to do them yourself because you have different hardware configurations.
So I need to learn how to make DSDT Patches and find out how to make patches for them manually? What about Battery Indicator? FN Keys? Power Management?
Yes you have to make DSDT patches for your specific machine. Battery indicator should work using that kext provided. I don't think I've ever gotten FN keys or power management working.
I tried the patches for my machine but keep getting syntax error, unexpected PARSEOP_NAMESEG
Patch.zip
Did you apply the [gfx0] Cleanup/Fix Errors (SSDT) patch from Rehabman's laptop patch repository?
I used someone else’s guide and they used hotpatched SSDTs. I really wish one existed for the battery I’m using because now I don’t need to deal with all of this DSDT nonsense
EDIT: Also thats for SSDT, my problem exists in the DSDT. Apparently its a bad _WAK patch?
I see. I'm not sure how I can help you. But one interesting thing is that my friend tried my SSDT and DSDT patches and it worked flawlessly (even better than my system) with only a few changes on his Acer Swift 3 with the same cpu as yours.
I'm going to try a different _WAK patch or not even try it at all. I currently have everything BUT Battery Indicator working that I want to work, I might have to find or make a SSDT hot patch so I can avoid DSDT, but that won't be easy.
Well good luck!
I actually resorted to this guide and used his hot patches for UX430 Kaby Lake-R and it works perfectly, like everything worked including FN keys, power management, even the backlit keyboard, and I mean everything. I'd check it out to make your system more complete ;) you should be able to use the Kaby Lake UX430.
Hello, is this the same process for the 8th Generation Coffee Lake ZenBook?
