*Note: This may not be accessible in BIOS revisions after A06, and likely may prevent the TPM Security SSDT (normally SSDT-14) from generating. Once you have dumped the ACPI tables by pressing F4 at the Clover boot menu (post installation), you will need to determine whether or not SSDT-15 exists. If it does not, open SSDT-14 in MaciASL to verify if this is the SSDT responsible for powering off the video cards (normally SSDT-15 when the TPM Security SSDT is present). You can confirm this by looking for SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP in the device tree. If so, then just rename SSDT-14 to SSDT-15 before running the DSDT patch shell command on a new set of ACPI tables.
