# Fixing Trackpads: Prebuilt

This is a one-size fits all solution where we basically trick our hardware into thinking it's booting Windows. The problem with this method is that it's common to break Windows booting so avoid unless troubleshooting.

# Getting started with ACPI

So what are DSDTs and SSDTs? Well, these are tables present in your firmware that outline hardware devices like USB controllers, CPU threads, embedded controllers, system clocks and such. A DSDT(Differentiated System Description Table) can be seen as the body holding most of the info with smaller bits of info being passed by the SSDT(Secondary System Description Table). You can think of the DSDT as the building blueprints with SSDTs being sticky notes outlining extra details to the project

You can read more about ACPI and it's spec here: ACPI 6.3 Manual (opens new window)

So why do we care about these tables?

macOS can be very picky about the devices present in the DSDT and so our job is to correct it. The main devices that need to be corrected for macOS to work properly:
