Dell 7580 Ventura tuning

[dman]

Hey @EliteMacx86,

Per your suggestions in this thread, I've made the following changes:

• changed SSDT order
• I had already generated SSDT-HPET.aml from SSDTtime
• Brightness keys work (Fn+B/S)
• Battery meter already appears to work
• hda-gfx added to Device Properties
• Chenged kext loading order
• KernelArch set to Auto
• All entries removed from Kernel >Patch section
• Cleaned up Misc>Tools

If this looks ok, the next thing I'd like to try is changing the DVMT-prealloc because only getting 2k out of HDMI 2.0 port. I've already got some values by following your guide, but will doublecheck and post here next.

Thanks!

I just changed the DVMT prealloc via modgrubshell.efi as per your guide.

Living on the edge But it didn't brick the machine, which is good

Still no resolution change until I deleted the fbmem and fbstolenmem keys in Device Properties. Then, OMG, a new section appeared in System Preference> Displays:



Selecting 'More Space' and now I'm in 4K. Goodness gracious, thankyou for the guide

I've attached the IFR text output (setup2.text) I extracted from my BIOS, would you confirm the correct setup_var is 0x8e6 and for 64M DVMT prealloc is 0x2? I know it's crazy to ask after the fact, but still good to know.

Question though, will BIOS updates revert this?

Here are a few issues

- SSDT-PNLF should load at last.
- For GPU properties, the device-id should be changed to Whiskey Lake, not Coffee Lake
- Multiple Satellite kexts are not recommended. Use only one.

Rest looks good!

Regarding the 4K output, there are certain requirements. Patch the framebuffer or increase DVMT in BIOS. See Framebuffer patching for more information.

That's normal. Once the DVMT is set as required, these two key must be deleted.

Great!

Anytime!

I've attached the IFR text output (setup2.text) I extracted from my BIOS, would you confirm the correct setup_var is 0x8e6 and for 64M DVMT prealloc is 0x2? I know it's crazy to ask after the fact, but still good to know.

Yes, it's up to the mark. You have clearly followed the guide correctly. Kudos!!

Question though, will BIOS updates revert this?

Yes, as indicated in the guide. There are more consistent methods available.

See "4K/UHD/QHD Resolution with 60FPS" and "Infinite Loop on Intel HDMI connections with Higher Pixel Clock Rate" in the guide linked below.

Ok, I've made the suggested changes. Have now got both HDMI and DP working 4K but only @30Hz.

Weirdly, in Device Properties> PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0)> framebuffer-con1-type, the Data value 00080000 gives a flickering screen. If changed to 08000000 then it works. Same for framebuffer-con2-type – 00040000 gives flickering screen, 04000000 works. Maybe this indicates a more basic framebuffer config error?

Would you please check the attached current config?

Ok, reread the PR link. Used IOReg 2.1 to generate the Macbook Pro report instead of the v3.0.2.

Note that kextcache appears to have been deprecated in Ventura.

Here are the updated PR files. Thankyou

Also confirming that on Windows 11 install on separate NVMe drive in this laptop, DP resolution 4k @ 60Hz and HDMI 4k @ 50 Hz (60Hz produces black screen on external display).
