Re: Enabling hidden BIOS features through EFI

 

Hi Albert,

two days ago i successfully enabled VT with that EFI GRUB with setvariable (or 
how it was called) from an USB Stick from this Howto:
http://feature-enable.blogspot.com/2009/07/enable-vt-on-insydeh2o-based-sony-
vaio.html
I own an 3810TG.
As Acer decided to stop executing EFI Code from USB with recent BIOS Versions, 
i had to downgrade to the oldest BIOS available from Acer, apply the patch and 
upgrade again.
VirtualBox now lets me enable VT.
