Asus EB1037: bbswitch: No suitable _DSM call found #110

warpme · 2015-04-11T09:10:40Z

Hi,
I'm trying to add support for Optimus in my Minimyth2 project. My testbed is ASUS EB1037 (BayTrail IGP + 820M dGPU).
bbswitch seems to be non working on my test machine:

Apr  7 23:27:06 (none) user.err kernel: bbswitch: No suitable _DSM call found.

I tested bbswitch 0.8 / bumblebee 3.2.1 with Nvidia 340.76 and 346.47 on 3.16.7, 3.19.3 and 4.0-rc6 kernels with all available BIOSes for this machine. All cases shows exactly the same problem.

I'm also experiencing problem with bumblebee:

Apr  7 23:09:30 (none) user.warn kernel: NVRM: failed to copy vbios to system memory.
Apr  7 23:09:30 (none) user.warn kernel: NVRM: RmInitAdapter failed! (0x30:0xffff:800)
Apr  7 23:09:30 (none) user.warn kernel: NVRM: rm_init_adapter failed for device bearing minor number 0
Apr  7 23:09:30 (none) user.warn kernel: NVRM: nvidia_frontend_open: minor 0, module->open() failed, error -5

I'm not sure what additional info should I provide here for helping further debugging this issue.
pls advise

See the README for required details. The acpidump output is particularly needed to perform an analysis.

were not specified. The resulting disassembler output file may not
compile because the disassembler did not know how many arguments
to assign to these methods. To specify the tables needed to resolve
external control method references, the -e option can be used to
specify the filenames. Example iASL invocations:

In addition, the -fe option can be used to specify a file containing
control method external declarations with the associated method
argument counts. Each line of the file must be of the form:
    External (<method pathname>, MethodObj, <argument count>)
Invocation:

Any updates on this? I'm having the exact same problem on Asus EB1037.

warpme · 2015-08-06T20:02:33Z

bbswitch seems to be dead project.
Better sell this EB1037 crap and buy something with real Nvidia (if You
need Nvida)...

garsh · 2015-11-21T21:14:24Z

Same issue with an EB1037.
I'd really like to get this thing working.
Is anyone willing to work on the problem? I'll provide whatever additional information is required.

The correct ACPI method is \_SB.PCI0.RP01.PEGP._DSM, not \_SB_.PCI0.RP01.PXSX._DSM. You could try the acpi-handle-hack branch after whitelisting your device, I can't dive deeper into this atm (time reasons), sorry.

ArchangeGabriel · 2016-05-06T17:08:14Z

@garsh Have you tried what @Lekensteyn suggested?

garsh · 2016-05-06T17:14:12Z

I can't remember what all I tried. I gave up, sold that machine, and replaced it with an Intel NUC NUC5PPYH.

Lekensteyn · 2016-06-05T11:51:49Z

Just realized that this is a desktop machine that does not advertise hybrid graphics support. Closing

Lekensteyn added the Broken ACPI handle label Nov 22, 2015

ArchangeGabriel modified the milestone: 1.0 Release Dec 27, 2015
