Gizzmo Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Could you please fix the "black screen" issue by changing the following in DSDT.aml in upcoming D830 Nvidia Bootpack: Device (AGP) { ... "device_type", Buffer (0x0D) { "NVDA,GeForce" }, "model", Buffer (0x18) { "NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS" } to Device (AGP) { ... "device_type", Buffer (0x0C) { "NVDA,Parent" }, "model", Buffer (0x18) { "NVIDIA Quadro NVS 135M" } Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizzmo Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 Hello to all, I own a D830 nvidia und gladly managed to run Lion and Mountain Lion with the latest EDP from this site! The only problem I had with the standard EDP was the black screen issue that sometimes appeared after the boot screen - no desktop visible. To fix that problem I had to change dsdt.aml like I described in this post above. I attached dsdt.aml und dsdt.dsl (plaintext source). (In attached files I didn't change the value for graphics card name and preserved the origin value "NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS"). D830 nvidia dsdt.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted July 27, 2012 Administrators Share Posted July 27, 2012 that should have been resolved a while ago https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/897-d830-nvidia-black-screen-after-update-solved/page__p__6184__hl__%2Bsolved+%2Bd830__fromsearch__1#entry6184 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizzmo Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 Yes I know. My solution is from that post. ...but dsdt.aml for D830 nvidia in current EDP (V424) contains still the "old" device_type entry wich causes the black screen issue... And somebody asked me to post my fixed dsdt.aml - so I did It would be very helpful to fix dsdt.aml in the EDP... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Hervé Posted July 28, 2012 Administrators Share Posted July 28, 2012 Can this kind of tuning be used on the D620 nVIDIA to fix the energy-saving black-screen issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmax Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Hi, this sounds like my current M4300 issue, where I get a black screen about every 2 boot. Would this help to solve this issue at m4300 as well? cheers madmax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
