Mapping PS2 Dell keyboard about dell-latitude-e7480-hackintosh HOT 30 CLOSED

Thank you for your issues, I don't pay attention to this before. When I tried Fn+Insert hotkey today, it really doesn't work. I will try to fix it. If fixed, I will update it.

from dell-latitude-e7480-hackintosh.

Thank you for maintaining this.

I have a similar laptop E7470 model. I read your SSDT files and you have patches for Fn keys, Sleep and LID. Both the laptops have the same keyoard layouts. I tried using your SSDTs but when activating Fn+Insert hotkey, it goes to sleep but when I wake up, it takes so much time with blackscreen and the Brightness keys stop working. I need to reboot to fix it.

Are you facing similar issues ?

I updated the EFI just now with this problem solved. Here is the description:
This commit fixes the key 'fn + insert' to sleep. When you active fn + insert, the computer will get into sleep but wake after a while and then it continue to sleep when the screen going black. If you can not wake the laptop by activating any key, you can try to active 'fn + insert' key again, it always work.
I test it on my macOS 12 beta 5(21A5304g), it works well so far. Don't forget to run this command in the kernel to set proper sleep mode:

sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 3

I hope it can be helpful for you.

Yes, the hotkeys issue has been resolved.

Is hibernate working for you ? I have the Hibernatefixup kext.

This is my pmset -g

Yes, I find the sleep is still working bad. I am working on it these days. The first things I fix is the Gpu, and now I make it. It support HEVC decoding now.

Now it can successfully sleep but not in actually sleep, when the screen off, it is still working and consume power. I am trying to solve that. When I test it successfully, I will update the EFI.

from dell-latitude-e7480-hackintosh.

How did you added support for HEVC decoding ? I just realized that it's broken for mine too.

from dell-latitude-e7480-hackintosh.

You can try to delete the key "AAPL,slot-name" in your DeciceProperies of Graphic card like this in your config:

That doesn't fix it.

from dell-latitude-e7480-hackintosh.

I can't remember what I did, because I am working on the sleep problems with the EFI changing rapidly. So, I upload the present EFI to you here. It works for me about the HEVC decoding, you can have a try.

Okay, I fixed it by removing the whole PCI (0x0, 0x02) slot as Whatevergreen.kext automatically injects all the properties.

from dell-latitude-e7480-hackintosh.

I have a solution on sleep issue, but it conflicts with the key "fn + insert" and LID sleep. According to tests these days, I find the problem is S3 sleep mode. Therefore, I use SSDT to ban it, but it comes that the key "fn + insert" and LID sleep can not work. Then I use another way to sleep called AOAC. I will upload EFI later.

from dell-latitude-e7480-hackintosh.

So, did you fixed the deepidle ?

from dell-latitude-e7480-hackintosh.

AFAIK, your System needs to support DeepIdle or AOAC(Always on Always connected) specification for it to work.

from dell-latitude-e7480-hackintosh.

It is not necessary for you to have DeepIdle or AOAC support. For me, I edit the SSDT-PCI0.LPCB-Wake-AOAC.dsl and it works for me. It supports key "Fn + insert" to sleep, but Lid device do not support sleep, I am working on it. I want to edit the SSDTs to support Lid device with Deepldle.

from dell-latitude-e7480-hackintosh.

For your doubt, the method also suit the Laptop without AOAC and I have tested it successfully.

When in Fn+Insert sleep, breathing light is working for you ?

from dell-latitude-e7480-hackintosh.

No, actually when you sleep by click the sleep button in the apple menu(apple logo), breathing light does not work as well. It is normal for that. Here is the reason:

from dell-latitude-e7480-hackintosh.

For me, without the SSDT-DeepIdle, breathing light works. But Sleep gets broken with SSDT-DeepIdle, so can't test Breathing light.

from dell-latitude-e7480-hackintosh.

If you sleep worked well before, you can use your config before. For me, previous config will cause black screen after sleep and I had to reboot. But when I use SSDT-Deepldle, sleep well except breathing light. If you want to use this method, you may also add these SSDTs:

• SSDT-NameS3-disable
• SSDT-DeepIdle
• SSDT-PCI0.LPCB-Wake-AOAC

and rename _S3 to XS3 by add patch:

Find: 5F53335F Replace:5853335F Comment:_S3 to XS3

This method can only wake up by Power button.

from dell-latitude-e7480-hackintosh.

I used the same SSDTs and ACPI renames but Sleep is broken. I wonder how much difference between DeepIdle and normal S3 sleep.

from dell-latitude-e7480-hackintosh.

I will do a test about the consumption of power in DeepIdle sleep. But for S3 sleep, my laptop can't work on it. So I can't get the data from S3 sleep.

from dell-latitude-e7480-hackintosh.

Can you update the repo with what changes did you make to make SleepIdle work in the SSDT. I'll try once more with your insights.

from dell-latitude-e7480-hackintosh.

Will the new EFI works in your laptop? Here is my test result with DeepIdle:

My battery health is about 73% and my laptop consumes about 4% power per hour in DeepIdle sleep.

from dell-latitude-e7480-hackintosh.

No, the latest EFI doesn't work for me. Something is wrong in your config, the power drain is too much. Mine just consumes 2-3% in 8 hrs S3 sleep. Btw, what is that app you are using to show battery percentage ?

from dell-latitude-e7480-hackintosh.

Ok, thank for your feedback, I may desperate into 2 branches for S3 sleep mode and DeepIdle mode. The app is called Sensei. If you want this app, you can leave your email so that I can send it to you.

from dell-latitude-e7480-hackintosh.

Either your Battery is at fault or you need to investigate in what is consuming so much power. You can use Power metrics powermetrics is a Mac-only command-line utility that provides many high-quality power-related measurements. It is most useful for getting CPU, GPU and wakeup measurements in a precise and easily scriptable fashion.

from dell-latitude-e7480-hackintosh.

Ok, I will have a try, thank you.

from dell-latitude-e7480-hackintosh.

Unbelievably, I just fix up S3 sleep mode by adding SSDT-GPRW and patch GPRW to XPRW. I will test S3 sleep later and update EFI.

from dell-latitude-e7480-hackintosh.

My S3 sleep also works well. It consumes about 3% power in 8 hours.

Thanks for your suggestions and feedback.

Could you please search on your OEM DSDT the following.

• Open MaciASL
• Click on "File > New From ACPI" and select FACP.aml
• Search for Low Power S0 Idle. Tell me if it is = 1 or 0

from dell-latitude-e7480-hackintosh.

It is0.
