Dont worry... no extra dsdt patching needed. Just plain old voodooHDA did the trick, but since I am not a big pro on the subject, I oversaw a basic concept that is different in SL than L.

yeee-ha!

Gurruwiwi,

You're the man.

I have decided to go with HDX 18t with extreme specs (including GT 130M GPU which I saw has full support for hardware accelerated CI & QE). Eagerly waiting for your step by step guide w/ pictures as you promised. Btw, somebody posted in this thread that Dell Wireless 1490 works with HDX 16t thru pci-e slot. Is this true for 18t too? Also, where does 1490 fit into? In the Express Card /54 slot?

Looking forward to your guide.

Thanks.

I don't think it will fit in the express card slot as it has a mini pci-e configuration.
The ones who succeeded either took out there original pci-e wlan card from inside the laptop or they have an extra compartment just like the 6935 has.

But in no way it is going to fit in the expreesscard slot

Exactly what jimmy said. Go back in the thread and check out the links to wifi cards, and on the very first post you have pictures.

Got it. I thought it should also work for HDX series.

Thanks anyways.

Thanks Gurruwiwi,

I am looking forward to your answer. I made a clean install with Nvenabler and GT200 EVGA driver. After editing the string, I got a proper resolution but no QE.

What else should I do?

*By the way, shutdown is fixed.

Hi abct - try removing the enabler. Enablers are supposed to work when you dont have strings - there could be a kext conflict right there, so back it up, delete it, and repair permissions, reboot. Did you create a dsdt.aml file and place in root? ... Graphic strings go in com.apple.boot.plist, look around there are dozens of tutorials... or refer back to post 1 where you can download my plist and edit in your own string.

(for all waiting on SL... grab a chair, I'm loaded with work this weekend, but my "helicopter guide" a couple of pages back will be the main body anyways, so you can start if you know your way around. For easy "I've neer done it before" - you'll have to wait a bit longer...)

. Delete the boot.ini it creates in root. Copy my provided boot.ini to root of USB.

You mean the Boot file?
Is that the boot file from Chameleon?

Followed your guide and getting still waiting root device error right after AppleUSBEHCI/UHCI error during install.
I have very similar setup same chipset and video card on HP DV7-1020US laptop

Gurruwiwi · #**149** 09-14-2009, 02:21 PM

Yes, exactly that. When you install Chameleon, it creates a boot.ini file in root.

Sorry mate... is that "waiting for root..." during USB boot or after install boot?

robi40 · #**150** 09-14-2009, 04:59 PM

during USB boot.
Tried to put all kind of USB and chipset related kext to the extra folder from my 10.5.7 partition, but nothing's working.
Patched dsdt file as well.
I feel i'm so close
