How to port AppleHDA to SL →

Now wish I could get my wireless 4965AGN working

@be11o

i sent you a pm two days ago concerning the kext.

here is my dsdt. place this right before Device (MCHC) replacing your current HDEF

Are you guys having problems with the P6860FX shutting down completely?

@ps2pk

Which chameleon package are you using? If you are using the latest make sure and add GraphicsEnabler=Yes to your boot.plist

Lemme know if that helped.

@be11owireless? o.O 4695agn is in prealpha state and definitly not working here as for video i do use nvdarwin 1.2.5

he is using BMC9431 wireless pci-e card

@be11oow i с it shows up as ethernet device or useable in airport utility?

airport more than likely

you guys welcome

I'm gonna try and get sleep,shutdown, and maybe internal mic working this week. If I have success I'll post the steps.

@gi1gameshREkLiSS Do you have any issues with shutdown? When I choose shutdown the machine executes Halt but the lights and fans keep on running. I've let the machine sit overnight in this state and it gets fairly warm so I'm guessing other things are left powered. I've tried, Openhaltrestart, Evoreboot, and removing AppleHDA.kext (some…

Do you have GraphicsEnabler=yes in you boot plist? If so this is causing the problem. Only deal is I don't know why. If I set it to No laptop will shutdown properly. I have tried using another injection method such as nvinject etc.. but I do not get transparency in the menu bar.

@haze295I use to be a avid helper / poster over at Insanelymac, but the scene over there has slowed down to a screeching halt. First let me say thank you so much for this thread. I had one of the launch Gateway 6xxx line (when they were p-171fx) and through 10.5 i got everything working except two things: No surprise shutdown and camera. The…

Post your specs here and I'll see if I can help you.

@haze295Thank you so much for your help. I tried VoodooHDA but like I said the audio set was a chipset that no one used except gateway and they upgraded after 2 months of factory Specifications Audio: SigmaTel 92HD71B Dual SPDF KBC: Winbond 8763 HDMI: HDMI block integrated in GFX BIOS: Winbond W25x80 Memory reader (7 in 1): RealTek RTS5158 AC…

Ok..first things first here. We are going to need a linux codec dump. If you have a spare usb thumbdrive I need you to grab yourself fedora live and install it to the thumbdrive. Download it from here:

Post both results separate here and I'll try to mod you a kext.

@haze295Thank you so much ... I booted up in Fedora 10 (12 had bad check sum) and run codec0 and 1. 0 as you can see didn't come up but 1 did. I also have my 10.5 apple hda working and my dsdt if you need it. Couple things I noticed... volume buttons worked moving the volume and speaker icon up top but didn't hear any audio (didn't have…

Yea the hda kext and dsdt would be of help. Paste the links to them and I'll get them.

@haze295Chad, Thank you once again (truly). I have attached my dsdt for 10.6 (which only gave me 1 warning about a zero value), the original Enabler and AppleHDA from taruga (10.5.x) and i pulled a copy from the 10.5.x drive of applehda JIC rapid share.com/files/321250795/Archive.zip.html <--just replace the XX with tt MD5:…

Hey.. let's try

cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#2

in fedora

lemme know. thanks

Guys,

I've finally got shutdown working now. As soon as I get sleep working I'll post instructions.

Peace

mate can u possibly upload yr kexts for audio and video im battling with those over 2 weeks already
or maybe mail em to me [email protected]
id be very greatfull

managed to get qe/cl working but i still cant get sound... i read that guide u linked did as it says but still not working, ported applehda refuse to work =/

I've been trying for the past 2 days to get audio working.

It's fruitless. I've tried the whole guide and still no sound. I'm thinking about just buying those usb ones if I can't get it work.

Can you tell me what you did to get it working? Soooo frikin jealous!

edit: 6860fx. same device id in osx

I have audio in 10.5.8 but nothing in 10.6.

@ps2pkI've been trying for the past 2 days to get audio working. It's fruitless. I've tried the whole guide and still no sound. I'm thinking about just buying those usb ones if I can't get it work.

same thing altho im doing this for a 2weeks or smth already and ye i got same laptop, tbh doubt he wil reply, if i manage to get it working ill post dsdt and kexts

think so we got problem with dsdt btw, its aint kext issue mine compliling with 3 warnings so...

@chadp1a@be11o i sent you a pm two days ago concerning the kext.

wierd =/ i got it only today thx alot =)
now i got not warnings but errors even when trying to complile dsdt back any ideas?
Error 4063 - and its like hundred times

Okay 10.6 is not playing nice. I edited the dsdt.aml to inject the audio and recomplied. I also followed the directions to port the AppleHDA.kext but after installing and rebooting the system hangs at the blue screen.

Decided to start over. Installed Ideneb 10.5.8. Working perfectly including the BMC9431 wireless pci-e card + ethernet + sound + full graphics support (i think).

I'd like to see if we can get a dedicated thread regarding the P-6860X, 6831 7805 as they're pretty much all the same.

So here's my set up.
Windows 7 on 320gb scorpio black.
Snow Leopard on 1st partition of 320gb scorpio blue. Leopard on 2nd partition of 320gb scorpio blue. Formatted to GUI.

I followed the guide from here ↗ (vanilla install for snow leopard).

Installed perfectly. Boot up from USB and then select my snow leopard drive. Start the 3.macloader. Finish and restart.

I boot up perfectly using -v arch=i386 (64-bit should work but if you read that thread there are a few problems regarding the macloader but it still works on 32bit)

Download efistudio and inject the string to com.apple.plist

Restart and mostly everything works.
External monitor with 1920x1200 resolution HDMI
External keyboard
External Mouse
Ethernet
Wireless (bcm9431 wireless)

What doesn't work
Sound
Laptop keyboard and touchpad
Bluetooth
Webcam

I am getting the restarting problem. I restart and it hangs up (forgot the exact thing it says) and takes a while (upto a minute) for it to completely restart and load the bootloader. I have not tried shutting down completely. Will do and let you know.

I will also attach my DSDT.aml if you guys like. Something to compare and see if everything is correct. I think my dsdt is causing no sound. Don't have it properly edited. Am trying again now

just finished with sound working as charm altho had to edit dsdt abit think so cause i updated bios to 94.31
shutdown works correctly
for trackpad and laptop to work install voodooo ps2 kexts,but it worked w/o it for me
thx alot chadp1a w/o u it would be pain 1 more week lol

efi string not working for us btw.. since its impossible to nvcap our video bios(impossible to make propper hex string) to make qe/cl work install nvdarvin 512 kext or just install via install package

i suggest u to install sl from the scratch using retal dvd and some bootloader ( i used empire efi)

only thing annoys me =/ no sound via hdmi but i can live with it =) got receiver to cover analog in anyways

btw i wont suggest u to update to 10.6.2 there is video issues over there think so its cause apple released some new drivers there

How are you guys checking if video is supposed to be working correctly?

I just updated to 10.6.2 and it seems to be working fine. Just injected the EFI string into the com.apple.plist file and rebooted. Haven't enabled quartzgl yet. Last time I got the blue screen and had to start from scratch.

Here's what I'm talking about the DSDT

Here is the Device (MCHC). Some code before and after.

        Device (PCI0)
        {
            Name (_S3D, 0x02)
            Name (_S4D, 0x02)
            Name (_HID, EisaId ("PNP0A08"))
            Name (_CID, EisaId ("PNP0A03"))
            Device (MCHC)
            {
                Name (_ADR, 0x00)
                OperationRegion (HBUS, PCI_Config, 0x40, 0xC0)
                Field (HBUS, DWordAcc, NoLock, Preserve)
                {
                    EPEN,   1, 
                        ,   11, 
                    EPBR,   20, 
                            Offset (0x08), 
                    MHEN,   1, 
                        ,   13, 

And here is the Method (_INI…) Some code before and after.

               /* 0538 */    0x0E, 0x44, 0x65, 0xBF, 0x0A, 0x04, 0xE4, 0x10, 
                /* 0540 */    0x20, 0x3A, 0x25, 0x10, 0x33, 0x40, 0x4C, 0x0E, 
                /* 0548 */    0x88, 0x0E, 0x00, 0x04, 0x88, 0xC6, 0x02, 0xA2, 
                /* 0550 */    0x92, 0xFE, 0x5B, 0x02, 0xB2, 0x40, 0x10, 0x01, 
                /* 0558 */    0x39, 0x1C, 0x10, 0x8D, 0x0A, 0x44, 0xFF, 0xFF
            })
        }

        Method (_INI, 0, NotSerialized)
        {
            If (DTSE)
            {
                TRAP (0x47)
            }

            Store (0x07D0, OSYS)
            If (CondRefOf (\_OSI, Local0))
            {
                If (\_OSI ("Linux"))
                {
                    Store (0x01, LINX)
                }

                If (\_OSI ("Windows 2001"))

How exactly should I stick the code in?

This is unmodified and what The DSDT patcher spit out.

One more question.

Which guide if any did you guys follow and how'd you create the DSDT.aml file? I used the guide I mentioned in post 12. Followed his directions for a vanilla install and how to get the dsdt file.

top bar should be transparament that means yr gfx works okish
if u rly preffer hex strings u can try nvcapmaker(tomake hex string)+bios editor(to extract video rom off bios)
but there is no warrantys it will work not trried it self

here is the link for editors madm odmax.ru/files_win0.html#sys1
site is in russian but file names in eng anyways so shouldnt be problem

Got everything mostly working except for keyboard/touch and webcam. I know for keyboard/touch the voodoo kexts help but i'm not sure which one. Don't want to mess up install number 10. FinallY!

Ethernet, Wireless, Sound all work perfectly.

And with the help of chadp1a who corrected my dsdt and supplied the applehda.kext this could not have been possible. So thanks a lot chadp1a. You are the man.

My top bar is still not transparent. I will without a doubt fix it!

edit: Okay so I thought I messed up installing the chameleon package. Redid the installation. Sound works again so that's good. Wasn't a fluke.

But graphics are still 1024x768.
Heres the about my system (graphics)
Display:

Type: GPU
Bus: PCIe
PCIe Lane Width: x16
VRAM (Total): 32 MB
Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de)
Device ID: 0x0609
Revision ID: 0x00a2
Displays:
Display:
Resolution: 1024 x 768
Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888)
Main Display: Yes
Mirror: Off
Online: Yes

What I've tried previously but to no avail was using EFISTUDIO and OSX86TOOLS. Tried both the 8800gts 512mb g92 and the 8800gt 512mb g92. Both worked meaning resolution was there, dual monitor support but no quartz support. How did you guys manage to get all that working and get the transparent top bar. Sooo close to having a complete set up.

Could you guys post a screenshot of the graphics in about my mac? Thanks

@ps2pkEthernet, Wireless, Sound all work perfectly.

wireless? o.O 4695agn is in prealpha state and definitly not working here

as for video i do use nvdarwin 1.2.5

ow i с it shows up as ethernet device or useable in airport utility?

sorry guys been away with exams and thanksgiving.

Yes i use bmc9431. Works in airport utility and is flawless. Cost like $20 from hongkong on ebay.

Got keyboard/touchpad working. Sound is working. Graphics are working fully. Webcam is coming along slowly. It's not that important but I'm trying like 10 new drivers each day. Still nothing that is flawless.

Again I wanted to say thanks chadp1a and be11o for getting me on the right track. I'm going to do a writeup soon so fellow 6860fx owners are more inclined. Let me know if you guys want to add anything.

One more question - for sleep which kext did you guys use if any? that's still not working 100%. If i leave the computer alone for 30 minutes it doesn't turn back on. I've tried 2 differnet kexts. Installed them using kext utilty. If I leave it alone for 10-15 it'll turn back on. Weird.

be11o - instead of nvdarwin why not edit boot.plist and insert GraphicsEnabler=Yes. Is there any benefit from nvdarwin?

edit: also got snow leopard working on my i7 p6t desktop. woo!

Gateway P-6831FX Audio

I am having a heck of a time trying to get audio working on this machine. I am currently using Voodoohda and it acts like it's working but I can't hear sound out of any of my available outputs. I have tried modifying my dsdt with no success. I am able to add the dtgp code but I am unable to change my HDEF section. I've included a bit of extra code because my PCI section begins on line 740ish and this HDEF line is around 3400. Can you please suggest how I would go about modifying my dsdt to include your modifed HDEF section?

I have been cutting the code where I've indicated in the code section below and inserting your code in it's place. I've tried with and without the Device (PCI) line. but I can't get it to compile.

Try my modified dsdt and also the applehda kext by chadp1a.

AppleHDA (media fire.com/?twheytziwho) - install with kext utility.

DSDT (media fire.com/?oi1wzjktgkj) for 6860fx (I've upgraded my processor to an x7800 so not sure if it'll make a difference but try it anyways)

My audio works flawless now. I was also able to upgrade to 10.6.2. Installed the update as a standalone (not through the software update). Deleted sleepenabler.kext. Downloaded new sleepenanbler and rebooted and everything went fine.

BTW - This is the guide I used -

It lists 4 kexts but you can add any others you want as well. I added the applehda by the OP, plus keyboard/touch kexts.

WOOT! I have sound

This fix is confirmed to work on the Gateway P-6831FX with 10.6.2 Retail.

Thank you so much! I don't know what you guys did to get that DSDT to compile or what you added to AppleHDA.kext but it totally works!

Thanks again you guys ROCK!

Hell yeah! Good to hear it works on the 6831. The 6860fx and 6831 are pretty much the exact same except for processor, hd and 1gb memory.

Did you also get your keyboard/touch pad working? If not just google voodoosp2 and you'll find them.

What did you do for sleep? Which kexts did you use? I'm going to make a guide and that's the only thing holding me back.

Oh yeah and chadp1a is the man! He compiled/fixed the dsdt and got the applehda working! Thanks again chad. Still enjoyin SL here and loving it more everyday.

neither sleep nor shutdown work properly yet. I am using VoodooPS2Controller for the keyboard and VoodooPS2Trackpad for the touchpad along with VoodooBattery for the battery meter and NVkush for the video.

Looks like my microphone doesn't work with the applehda.kext I'll have to do some reading to see if I can figure out how to fix it. Still very happy to have audio output though.

Gateway P-6831FX Sleep

I was able to get Sleep and restart working with a combination of EvoReboot along with the EHCI and USB DSDT Fix. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=16… ↗

I also applied some changes to the lid function in DSDT. Shutdown however is still not working properly.

Please make sure to backup your DSDT before applying mine.

Thank you aschar for straightening out my compile errors.

10.6.2 HDMI error

Much Thanx to chadp1a → for finding a solution for sound ! I musta been lookin for a month THANK YOUUU ! Im running a 6831 with the myhack usb installer (its the best one ive found so far) when i updated to 10.6.2 using standalone and plugged in HDMI the screen would freeze so i used the 10.6.1 NVDANV50Hal.kext and NVDAResman.kext to get it workin again ! here they are if anyone needs em.mega upload.com/?d=8EVX9G3K

REkLiSS Do you have any issues with shutdown?

When I choose shutdown the machine executes Halt but the lights and fans keep on running. I've let the machine sit overnight in this state and it gets fairly warm so I'm guessing other things are left powered.

I've tried, Openhaltrestart, Evoreboot, and removing AppleHDA.kext (some suggested it caused shutdown issues.) None of which seemed to allow for a proper 'Soft Off' state.

It seems like S5 is not being initiated by the OS or it's somehow getting messed up in translation in the DSDT maybe?

Anyone have a suggestion?

@chadp1aDo you have GraphicsEnabler=yes in you boot plist? If so this is causing the problem. Only deal is I don't know why. If I set it to No laptop will shutdown properly. I have tried using another injection method such as nvinject etc.. but I do not get transparency in the menu bar.

I am using NVkush.kext and not using the GraphicsEnabler string. However, I did find that if I remove NVkush.kext the machine shutsdown properly. I guess for now I'll choose to have nice graphics and hold down the power button for shutdown.

Do any of you have your camera working properly? Mine works by using Camtwist. I can use it with photobooth and if you tell Camtwist to be enabled by application it works with Skype Also.

So I guess I have a nearly complete Hackint0sh. Only things not quite perfect are Shutdown and Mic.

I can use a USB Mic if needed and holding down the shutdown button is no biggie.

Theres still the problem with the eSATA controller not working tho, I use it alot and would love to have it running on snow.

On a side note ps2pk → mentioned in an earlier post that he wanted to put out a guide for the FX series. I propose we all put out our own sort of mini guide with a semi-detailed description of everything we used eg: install guides, methods, extra kexts, workarounds, DSDTs, ect. I think that this would greatly benefit not only us but the entire FX Hackintosh community. I'm gonna start workin on mine as soon as i post this ! I look foward to hearing everyones ideas ;-P

P-6831/6860FX Snow Leo 10.6.2 Hackint0sh guide

Took me a little while to finish this I had some family issues. Anyways here it is my P-6831/6860FX Snow Leo 10.6.2 Hackint0sh guide (Aside from eSATA, Intel Wifi, internal mic and proper shutdown these are not currently working):

* To start I used Conti's Myhack USB installer on a 16GB flash drive from a restored dmg image of 10.6 using disk utility, this is by far the most current, and thorough method that I have used. It allows for an all-digital install which virtually eliminates the possibility of burn errors or faulty media. It also uses the latest Chameleon (RC3). Heres the link-
osx86.soju garden.com
here are the options I chose in myhack:
* com.apple.Boot.plist
* GraphicsEnabler - Adds GraphicsEnabler = Y to com.apple.Boot.plist for Full QE/CI Support
* AHCIPortinjector.kext
* AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext & IOATAFamily.kext
* PS2Controller
* FakeSMC.kext
* JMicronATA.kext
* LegacyAppleRTC.kext
* NullCPUPowerManagement.kext
* OpenHaltRestart.kext
* PlatformUUID.kext
* Sleepenabler.kext

* Installed ATools_Snow.pkg extracted From the SnowOsx leopard Universal v3.6 (10.6.2) distro from dan1234. It has a ton of useful utilities and kexts . You can probably find ATools pkg if you do a bit of googling but i already had the distro. You can find the iso here-
mechodown load.com/forum/macintosh-programs/218804-mac-os-x-snow-leopard-universal-v3-6-10-6-2-a-Full-Free-Downloads-Keygen-Crack-Serial-Activator-Free-Hosts.html

* I used this guide along with the standalone combo update to upgrade to 10.6.2-
pra sys.co.cc/2009/11/tutorial-upgrading-to-osx-10-6-2/

*** I deleted Sleepenabler.kext (after update but before boot-up from another computer running windows 7 with Macdrive 8)
* For sound (FINALLY!) I used Gilgamesh's and chadp1a's recompiled DSDT along with chadp1a's AppleHDA.kext found here- infinite mac.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=967&d=1260141640 and here media fire.com/?twheytziwho

* To enable HDMI without screen freezing i used NVDANV50Hal.kext & NVDAResman.kext from 10.6.1 found here-
mega upload.com/?d=8EVX9G3K

* To fix the memory read error in system profiler i used SMBIOSResolver.kext found in ATools

* I used EvOSpeedStep.kext, EvOreboot.kext and VoodooBattery.kext all from ATools

* This is a semi-fix/workaround i used for the webcam
install CamTwist 2.1 found here- allo cinit.com/images/b/b6/CamTwist-2.1.dmg
Launch the Program
In preferences > video devices force the resolution to 320x240 on the "USB 2.0 camera"
In the box Step 1: Choose a video source, double click "Webcam"
Select nothing else, at least for now (unless you want effects)
Keep the program open, and relaunch Skype (for example) in skypes preferences > video
Instead of choosing "USB 2.0 camera" as the camera (can't, because it is in use by CamTwist) - choose "CamTwist"

*****Ok thats my install. If anyone has any ideas, questions, or possible solutions to eSATA, IntelWifi, internal mic and proper shutdown, please post them. I'm looking forward to hearing everyones feedback. :
