I'd like to install from my Leopard installation on an other Partition. But I cant boot until I installed your patches! Thanx for your help, teufel2k

1) Try it, but i think not X3100 supports only 1280 X 800 max.
2) Install only to partition where is installed Chameleon bootloader or install new chameleon (integrated in pack). Another way is install files manualy from sources (download link in first post)

Nah, I run my D630 with the internal display at 1280 x 800 and I have an external display plugged-in that runs at 1680 x 1050.

Thanks for you excellent work mate!

What about that Original speedstep stuff, how do I activate it?
I guess only unloading the nullpowermanagement stuff should do the trick right?
Do you run without it?

Thanks!

Slic,
Thanks again man, you really made all the harder work easy.

*I fixed my ethernet issue by just deleting the ethernet kext completely and using wifi.
*I fixed my natit.kext issue by re-installing it with the kext helper.
Both issues for some reason said the kexts were not installed properly and could not be used.
*Docking Station - Limited Support - Headphone jack doesn't mute audio from laptop.
*Docking Station - Touchpad quits working after "undock"
*the 10.6.1 update worked great.
*I plan to test out the speedstep
*also plan testing outputting to 1080p 32" via docking station.
*I need to Repair my Hard Drive.. It says it does not pass Verification.
Next Project: Next I will be working on dual boot with windows 7 and chameleon 2rc3.

I'm very confused.
The systemprofiler tells me that i have a x3100 and under windows my native resolution is 1440x900! (sorry missed the 40px) The next resolution is 1280x768 in windows!

Isnt that the same in all D630 ?

hi yes, i have to on my external monitor only 1280x800 (768)
X3100 officialy don't support more

[teufel2k]

Hm, what is so special with my X3100?

My internal Monitor doesn't work and on my external monitor there is no Problem with 1600x900! And I have got a D630 too!

Hmm? perhaps someone knows the difference?

Hello i got several Problems..

I installed 10.6 in the D630 Harddisk using "OSInstall.mpkg" on my Macbook. Just the system, no fonts, no translations..
Then i installed chameleon bootloader 2RC3.pkg.
After this i expanded your "DELL D620/630/830 INTEL X3100.mpkg", so i was getting intel.pkg which i also expanded. I copied everything in there, in the locations on D630 Harddisk.

Then i did the followed in Terminal:
(D630 HDD = "sl")


cd /Volumes/sl/System/Library/Extensions
chown –R root:wheel *
chmod –R 755 *

cd /Volumes/sl/Library/LaunchDaemons
chown –R root:wheel *
chmod –R 755 *

cd /Volumes/sl/Library/Preferences/
chown –R root:wheel *
chmod –R 755 *

cd /Volumes/sl/Extra
chown –R root:wheel *
chmod –R 755 *

Now i was booting the HDD in my D630 and the "after-install-screen" appeared. But only internal keyboard was working. I created my user and now i´m stuck in desktop.

wifi works
sound works
x3100 works

but

usb fail (wake up in BIOS is enabled)
touchpad fail

Also appears multiple boxes with Messages, that "System extension cannot be used" "was installed improperly"

What can i do??

Chameleon also uses the /Extra/Extensions for certain extensions. Just to be sure, run this from terminal:

chmod -R 755 /Extra/Extensions/
chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/
chown -R root:wheel /Extra/Extensions/
chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions
diskutil repairpermissions /

Hi all

After failing with other instruction sets for the D630 and failing to get QE/CI, I installed all this stuff on a fresh copy of 10.6.0 for my D630, and the system appears to be booting just fine. However, the display simply shows a bunch of colors and lines.

Previously, I had gotten the X3100 to work with Leopard 10.5.2, including QE/CI, so I know it's possible. I still have an image of that disk around so I tried the EFI strings from its com.apple.Boot.plist. That didn't work.

I also tried booting into Debian Linux, whence I dumped the DSDT, decompiled, edited the RTC section, and recompiled it using iasl. Then I put the new DSDT into /Extra. Still no joy.

Can anyone share any other ideas for me? Is there some kext I should try changing or modifying? Some way of generating new EFI strings? A chicken to sacrifice? Help!
