DSDT SSDT patches - fidele007/Asus-ROG-GL552VW-Hackintosh GitHub Wiki

The DSDT and SSDTs below are included in CLOVER/ACPI/patched. If you want to apply the patches yourself, follow this guide to extract all ACPI files so that they can be edited.

DSDT

Common patches:

• [bat] ASUS G75VW
• [sys] Fix _WAK Arg0 v2
• [sys] HPET Fix
• [sys] SMBUS Fix
• [sys] IRQ Fix
• [sys] RTC Fix
• [sys] OS Check Fix Windows 8
• [sys] Fix Mutex with non-zero SyncLevel
• [usb] 7-series/8-series USB
• [usb] USB3_PRW 0x6D Skylake (instant wake)
• [sys] Skylake LPC

Note : With BIOS v304, applying [sys] Skylake LPC causes compilation errors due to a duplicated method name in _SB.PCI0.LPCB. Removing it should resolve the errors.

Disabling discrete graphics card

It's a good idea to disable the NVIDIA discrete graphics card since it is not working anyway. Besides, it can improve your battery life and get better power management. RehabMan wrote a good guide on how disabling the discrete graphics works, but unfortunately it does not apply to this laptop. Instead, follow this guide to disable it.

SSDTs

• SSDT-PNLF.aml and AppleBacklightFixup.kext for brightness patch according to RehabMan's guide.
• SSDT-USB.aml for USB port patch thanks to Rehabman's guide.
• SSDT-CX20752.aml has been removed since I could not get the internal microphone to work with this patch. Instead, I got it working by manually modifying the Info.plist file in CodecCommander.kext to include the custom commands.
