Macbook Pro 8.2 and AMD GPU suspend

MrKebi · 2017-09-11 13:34:03

Hello,

I am posting here because I have some troubles with my Macbook Pro 2011 (8.2 model). The AMD card is faulty (known problem for this model), so I disabled it like the wiki documentation show it: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ma … 8,3_(2011). Everything is working, I had reduced my battery consommation, I was happy.

But recently, I had some troubles with this AMD card after suspend or hibernation. In fact, I think I observed the electrical reactivation of the card (observed with powertop, approximatively 5W more after resume in same conditions) after resume. And I don't know how to disable it again. The problem is, my AMD card is faulty so I can detect it with lspci, and so I can't disable it with acpi_call or vgaswitcheroo.

Thanks by advance !

Don't do that: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … ct#Bumping

1. Create disable-ati.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/io.h>

#define PORT_SWITCH_DISPLAY 0x710
#define PORT_SWITCH_SELECT 0x728
#define PORT_SWITCH_DDC 0x740
#define PORT_DISCRETE_POWER 0x750
static int gmux_switch_to_igd()
{
outb(1, PORT_SWITCH_SELECT);
outb(2, PORT_SWITCH_DISPLAY);
outb(2, PORT_SWITCH_DDC);
return 0;
}
static void mbp_gpu_power(int state)
{
outb(state, PORT_DISCRETE_POWER);
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
if (iopl(3) < 0)
{
perror ("No IO permissions");
return 1;
}
mbp_gpu_power(0);
gmux_switch_to_igd();
return 0;
}
2. Next, compile it with gcc:

sudo gcc -O2 -o /usr/local/sbin/disable-ati disable-ati.c
3. Create /lib/systemd/system/disable-ati.service
# disable gpu - systemd suspend/resume service
#

[Unit]
Description=disable ATI GPU suspend/resume
Before=sleep.target
StopWhenUnneeded=yes

[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/disable-ati
ExecStop=/usr/local/sbin/disable-ati

[Install]
WantedBy=sleep.target
4. Enable and start disable-ati.service
profit ...
I have macbookpro 8.3, ati broken too(.
