Comment 19 for bug 1602888

Has anyone tried changing the EFI .aml files to try and fix some of the issues in ubuntu?

I saw a hackingtosh tutorial for el capital (which is an os that was not made for skylake) on 7559 i7 UHD where they modify efi .aml files to make it work. The result was a i7 7559 uhd laptop running macos with the same battery time as windows and also with the same fan behaviour as windows.

In the tutorial they disabled the nvidia card (which I don't need in linux) and they also made some patches to for the power management and procesor turbo modes all in the .aml files.

I understabd it is posible to downlaod the efi files from the bios, uncompile them and modify them in linux, and to test you can use the e option in grub to indicate wehre the new file that has the modified aml is located.

Unfortunately I have no time to play with this setting to see if I can get battery life and the fan under control, but if anyone can it would be great.
