Hi, you have probably tried it, but I am running my D630 with GraphicsEnabler from Chameleon - and it works with external display. But I have nvidia and not sure, if this can be a solution for x3100...

BTW - thanks a lot for your kext pack! I am testing it on D630 since yesterday and most of the features works perfectly...

Are you using a retail distro or another type for SL

Wow.. NVS 140m right away in Snow Leopard with QE / CI

I gotta try this on my Thinkpad T61

Then I've manually fixed the "1 Errors, 9 Warnings, 7 Remarks" that I was getting with iasl. It went easier than I've thought, and Google was my best friend. It helped me fix all but one remark, one that people say it can be safely overlooked. On a sidenote, I've had exactly the same results with iasl under linux, so I assume this windows version works quite identically. Now, with a patched, cleaned and recompiled dsdt file, hopefully I won't even need a hpet kext anymore. Nor I will need the Disabler, and other dirty hacks. msingh says that the nVidia Quadro NVS 140M on the D830 may (miraculously) work out of the box on a vanilla install. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...owtopic=187356 I still have to test that one, and confirm if it's true. Maybe I'm lucky and my graphics card was natively used in some macbook variant. Otherwise, I'll have to throw in the nVidia files as well, and cook them with the rest. I think I'll give it a shot today, and come back with more info as soon as I'll get all this stuff up and running. Cheers, and good luck!

Welcome back, slic!
Sorry to hear about the bad news of the broken LCD.

My install worked fine using the metod I've linked before. I've had no Mac at hand, only a DVD, some USB sticks, a WinXP box, and the laptop itself. Still, I've managed to put things together, install Snow, and update it to 10.6.2. Then I've made my laptop triple boot, intalling Ubuntu and Win7 as well. With a little knowledge and a lot of reading, it is perfectly possible.

My laptop now looks as my signature states:

hi, hi, hi
Unfortunately, I bring bad news.
I tested X methods to get working mirror screen mode on X3100
but neither did not work. (I tested also in 10.5.x)

I am using original SL 10.6 Retail DVD. Because not all of this pack was stable on my D630, I have made my own patched DSDT.aml and kext pack (assembled from several Snow Leopard D620/630/830 HOWTOs and proven sources - netkas.org, etc...). What is important - this installation can be upgraded via Apple Software Update to the latest version 10.6.2

I will post it here after another day or two of testing - just to be sure...

sobik D630 DSDT ?

Any news ? I'm very interested in your DSDT.aml
my DSDT patch (AGP section deleted )
- going into sleep seems ok, but after wake up it has a black screen (LCD)
- external monitor is ok basically
- switching between internal LCD and external monitor (Fn + F8, forth and back) --> scrambled screen

any help ist welcome

Hi, I have x3100, too and my mirror screen working perfect. But I have used your DSDT.aml from your first dell pack, because with new dsdt.aml have problem with USB ports..

it seems that the problem only exists for me after:

• update to 10.6.2
• update of fakesmc to 2.5
• update to netkas' Sleepenabler.kext for 10.6.2

not sure which one causes the problem but it is a bit annoying.
