## Finding the ACPI path
|
|
|
|
For this guide, we're gonna assume Windows is already on this laptop, as otherwise creating this SSDT is a bit more difficult.
|
|
|
|
Now open DeviceManager, and head to the following:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Device Manager -> Display Adapters -> Properties -> Details > BIOS device name
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Note some GPU ACPI pathing may be hiding under "BIOS device name"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
From the above example, we can see our display is hooked up to `PCI0.GFX0`
|
|
|
|
## Edits to the sample SSDT
|
|
|
|
Now that we have our ACPI path, lets grab our SSDT and get to work:
|
|
|
|
* [SSDT-PNLF.dsl](https://github.com/acidanthera/WhateverGreen/blob/master/Manual/SSDT-PNLF.dsl)
|
|
* [SSDT-PNLF-CFL.dsl](https://github.com/dortania/Getting-Started-With-ACPI/blob/master/extra-files/decompiled/SSDT-PNLF-CFL.dsl.zip)
|
|
* For Coffee Lake and newer
|
|
|
|
By default, this uses `PCI0.GFX0` for the pathing. you'll want to rename accordingly. For this example, we'll assume your pathing is `PCI0.GPU0`:
|
|
|
|
**Before**:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
External (_SB_.PCI0.GFX0, DeviceObj) <- Rename this
|
|
|
|
Scope (_SB.PCI0.GFX0) <- Rename this
|
|
|
|
Device(_SB.PCI0.GFX0.PNLF) <- Rename this
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Following the example pathing we found, the SSDT should look something like this:
|
|
|
|
**After**:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
External (_SB_.PCI0.GPU0, DeviceObj) <- Renamed
|
|
|
|
Scope (_SB.PCI0.GPU0) <- Renamed
|
|
|
|
Device(_SB.PCI0.GPU0.PNLF) <- Renamed
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Compiling the SSDT
|
|
|
|
With the SSDT done, you're now [ready to compile the SSDT!](/Manual/compile.md)
|
|
|
|
## Wrapping up
|
|
|
|
Once you're done making your SSDT, either head to the next page to finish the rest of the SSDTs or head here if you're ready to wrap up:
