Hi, I'm quite interested in the spec of your graphics card - I'd heard that all of the AMD 'R' series cards weren't working with VESA mode 103, which is required to show the bios of the T3500. Did you simply not bother with the bios? I know that mine resets every now and then, which is why I'm not too keen to just throw another card in without having a backup. (I'm honsetly not sure why, but a few times I've ended up with the drive configuration changing, leaving me with an endless reboot loop) If the 560 works on boot, I'm going to purchase one (or a 570... 580?) tomorrow!

The DSDT editing was daunting, I'm merely hoping that I didn't do something bad just to enable a good compilation. I'd be keen to see the steps that you took to get yours to compile. Anyway, as mentioned above, I'd love to know if your power mangement works well, and if so, how you managed that particular feat. Cheers, Droz

Hi vdv, After much mucking around trying to make my DSDT compile without errors, I edited the method you posted and got wake to work - thanks a lot! I now have an almost perfect - minus audio - working 10.10.4 machine! I'm now trying to muck around with speedstep and SSDT, but I'm not sure how I'm going because the Intel Power Gadget app isn't compatible with my Xeon. For the record I'm using Clover and have basically enabled every single "Enable C/P" state generator I could find. Anyone been successful, or even be able to explain how to gauge success with SpeedStep and other power management? My fans seem to run at full speed all the time. I've got the W3565 Quad Core 3.2 GHz version of the T3500.

I'm pretty interested in the guide you mentioned you were making. My T3500 wakes slowly like yours did. I know when mine is fully awake and ready for the monitor to turn on because the USB Wi-Fi dongle on my Hack lights up like crazy when the computer is ready to be used. If I don't use the keyboard at this time, the Hack will go back to sleep.
