Usman156 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I get 2-3 hours of battery life on my hackintosh, where i usually get 5-6 hrs on windows, I heard this can be fixed by making an ssdt.aml, I was trying to follow a guide, but my only fear is that i might mess up a perfectly running hackintosh, Another problem i have is that the brightness can only be altered by pressing Fn+s or Fn+b to make them darker or brighter, instead of using the traditional f11 and f12 buttons.My clover folder is attached CLOVER.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted May 16, 2020 Moderators Share Posted May 16, 2020 Enable OSID and _OSI in Config file for Brightness Fn keys You can generate SSDT.aml with ssdtprgen.sh, place it in Patched folder Won't cause any issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobelacious Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I have this same issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usman156 Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 Ok so I enabled both Osid and osi in clover config, and generated the ssd.aml using ssdtprgen.sh from pikers alpha, the brightness keys still don't work but the fn+b does, I will have to test the laptop at full charge for the power management.

Moderators Jake Lo Posted May 17, 2020 Moderators Share Posted May 17, 2020 Ahh, you're missing an extra patch that I overlooked. Here, added it for you. Instead of the generated SSDT.aml, you could also enable PluginType and set plugin Type to 1 for power management. One or the other, not both. config.plist.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usman156 Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 So should i remove the ssdt.aml from the patched folder? Also from the little menu in clover config theres a list of disabled aml's there are three for me, *SSDT.aml *SSDT-XCPM.aml *SSDT-PluginType1.aml I'm going to remove the generated SSDT.aml file and set the plugintype to 1 like you said. Im just curious as if i should enable any of these disabled aml's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kobelacious Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Ok I did the steps mentioned, the brightness keys do work, according to Intel power gadget the CPU frequency does change when I shift workload, I was able to reboot a couple times without any issues with the config.plist you sent me, but this morning it gave me a Kernal panic saying"error loading Kernal cache (0xe)" so I started to enable different options individually in clover bootloader and it only booted when I enabled Kernal xcpm in clover, do you know why this is happening?

Usman156 Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 @kobelaciousYeah I had a kernal panic similar to that before, if your able to boot up again try creating a backup of your hackintosh using carbon copy cloner, it will save you a lot of time rather than installing all over again.
