I was about to try with SnowOSX 3.6 (10.6.4) instead of 3.5 (10.6.0)... I 'll tell you what I get

to sammys.
Thanks for the reply, hope you can work the native speed step out. I would like to help, just let me know. BTW i solved the CPU speed issue by using a smbiosresolve.kext. Not sure whether it is the bluetooth problem or other things. The laptop sleeps and wakes up well when Wireless switch is turned off. However the machine wakes up immediately after sleep when the switch is on.

try myhack installer and use the 10.6.3 DMG. I have positive result.

to sammy
I tried your DSDT, it does fix my problem with waking up immediately. However the Bluetooth and the network seems shut down, which further indicates the problem is related to the network switch in DSDT or the bios.
The brightness control is odd, i suggest you to delete it from DSDT. another thing is the USB fix in DSDT, you forgot to add the device ID.

Battery life issues
 

I have an X61 running almost perfectly on 10.6.2. Everything works the way I hoped it would, except perhaps random crashes of skype every hour or so. The more annoying thing is that battery life is very short, I get at best 45 minutes to 1 hour of use out of a fully charged, 2200 mAh (smaller version) battery. In WIndows the same battery should give about 3 hours. Anyone experience something similar?

I have Thinkpad x61t with SL 10.6.4, everything works fine for me (after 1-2 sleepless nights), great work! But... after my laptop awake USB ports dies,is there any solution on that?

X61 tablet bluetooth dsdt fix?
 

Hi all,
I have X61 tablet and 10.6.4 installed and more or less, everything is working except bluetooth.
I don't know why, but I can't turn on bluetooth in windows to keep it turned on for mac os x. Every time it just turns off. I have newest bios installed and there is no option such as 'keep it turned on all the time'.
Chipset is Broadcom (vendor ID: hex 0A5C) and product ID is hex 2110 (rev hex 0100).
I tried to mess with \System\Library\Extensions\IOBluetoothFamily.kext\ Contents\PlugIns\BroadcomUSBBluetoothHCIController .kext\Contents\Info.plist ut with no success.

Is there anybody who can point me out to the right direction of fixing this problem in dsdt?

Regards,
Ivan

Fully working x61-7675 drivers
 

It took several hours of trial and error, but I managed to get a fully working X61-7675 working with all hardware in 32-bit mode on 10.6.3 and 10.6.4, including a fully functioning fingerprint scanner and the MC5725 Verizon wireless card. Sleep also fully works and I managed to make some changes in the DSDT code to prevent the system from waking up immediately after going to sleep. Sleep when closing and wake when opening the lid work. The screen auto dims when idle and will dim when switching from AC to battery. CPU and drive temp works in iStats and native speed stepping is enabled. Bluetooth also wakes up from sleep, although it may take 30-45 seconds to become responsive. Make sure the wireless radio switch it turned on before booting, otherwise bluetooth may not be available unless you reboot. AD1984 audio is fully functional via an EFI string in the boot file.

These are all the drivers you will need to install. You will need to use the asereBLN bootloader, otherwise shutdown and reboot may not work properly. Remove any other drivers you already have, otherwise you will get a kernel panic.

Hi, I install the 10.6.4 update bundle, it raises error about the version of kernel
 

How to update 10.6.4 update? When I almost finish it while clicking the mkg installer, I got kernel panic indicates that the version doesn't match. Any idea to solve this problem? I am running vanilla 10.6.3.

Here's an updated com.apple.Boot.plist which has all the PCI card information injected via EFI strings, so you no longer need to install the IOPCIFamily.kext. The wireless card I have setup is the Atheros 5212 802.11abg.

Hi. I am running SL on this machine as well, got most of the things working. Can you please explain how you achieved native speedstep and all the temp reading? BTW which way did you enable your graphic card, by bootloader? or DSDT injection or patched kext?
Appriciated

You have to fix the HPET section. The example is in sammy's uploads

I used a combination of DSDT and injected info into the IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext. I think what I have currently on MediaFire might be the wrong revision of my kext file. I'll attach my corrected files to this post and will redo my zip files on MediaFire sometime tomorrow. As for the graphics, I'm using GrandFlash's X3100 kext with an EFI string. I'll also attach my EFI strings in xml format. I've also included IOSDHCIBlockDevice.kext to replace VoodooSDHC.kext.

Hi, does anyone encounter such problem on vanilla 10.6.3.
When my X61 goes to sleep, everything is fine. While it wakes up, it seems that the USB ports don't work any more. For example, the USB disk will be ejected when the system is going to sleep and the USB mouse is inactive after wakeup. How to fix this problem. Thanks.

Hello
Thanks for the files.
I will try them out this weekend and let you know the result.

speedstep for x61s
 

Hi, Grandflash, I couldn't find your dsdt.aml anywhere. Would it be possible for you to post it? I assume it is for x61s? I have pretty everything else working except speedstep, sleep and restart. Thanks a lot.

Ok, I finally updated my files at http://www.mediafire.com/vampyrex13. I have everything working with this setup, although I still need to confirm that the PCIMCIA card slot works (I have no external laptop cards to test with). The External display works great when attached to the docking base. I'm also succesfully using bluetooth PAN to share 3G Internet from my HTC Touch Pro 2. I have also updated the bootloader I'm using to restore Theme support.

Hey i m just wondering which processor does your x61 have? 2Ghz or 2.2

I have the 2.4Ghz T8300 processor.

Hi vampyrex13, according to your package, does it fully work? for example, when machine wakeups, the usb ports are still working.

Yes, The usb ports all work. I have it set up so that the external ports are always powered and can be used to wake up the laptop (great for when it's docked using and external monitor or for when you're using the laptop as a very expensive phone charger. Bluetooth will take a few seconds to wake up.

Battery life
 

What kind of battery life do people get from their X61? Could you please post some info, like "with extended life battery get 3.5 hours of regular use", or similar info.

Thanks, A.

i got 5 hours with the extra battery pack, which i could get 6hours with Win7

Proper 640x480, 800x600, and 1024x768 resolutions via EDID
 

Install the DisplayVendorID-30ae folder in /System/Library/Display/Overrides and use the below Boot.plist. It's the same as my old boot.Plist, but with the EDID string removed since OSX seems to ignore the string when injected this way. It is instead added via the Display Override file.

fan running continuously
 

does anyone have a fix for fan control, my fan is running constantly which i assume is the reason for shorter battery life other people are experiencing.

Wow vampyrex13 are great...
 

i suggest you. AppleIntelE1000.kext is better than intel82566mm. AppleIntelE1000.kext is possible multi network using at Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion Bridge Mode.
And So. com.apple.boot.plist add ForceWake=yes , this will be able to wake up for hibernate mode 3. hibernate 3 is auto save & shutdown when your note book batteries gone.

/S/L/E/IONetworkingFamily.kext/contents/plugins/AppleIntelE1000.kext

sorry. i'm not english. i can't speak english well

but, how to attached file??

I'll have a look at your AppleIntelE1000 suggestion. I'm still working on perfecting my DSDT code. I'll be posting up me new X61 kext pack in the next couple of days. My new DSDT has the following:

1. Unused elements removed (such as TPM; trust platform module)
2. Perfectly working sleep/wake and hibernation/resume
3. APIC IRQ redone to match the MacBook's
4. Updated UHCI and EHCI sections to fix random sleep/wake issues
5. Fully functioning P-States and C-States (I'm currently running 41-43C as I type this up)
6. Firewire code fixed to prevent errors which caused unnecessary CPU usage and heat
7. All EFI strings have been eliminated and are now included in the DSDT code
8. Eliminated the need for Legacy_AirportAtheros21.kext, as DSDT will assume you have an Atheros card installed.
9. All devices have been renamed to match the MacBook's

vampyrex13 //
i have a question. The microphone in your computer work?
That's not my microphone work. VoodooHDA.kext did work before.
But the noise is hurtful.
Now your dsdt.aml & AppleHDA.kext does do not work for me do not perfectly. but nothing noise. Fairly happy. ^^

Track Point doesn't work.
 

Hello vampyrex13.
I got all files from your megafile repository.
Many functions of x61 did work.
Thanks for your great work!

But, I have just one issue: my x61's track point doesn't work.
I don't know what is wrong.

kextstatus says following this:
bash-3.2# kextstat -l | grep PS2 35 0 0x55063000 0x3000 0x2000 com.yourcompany.driver.AppleACPIPS2Nub (1.0.0d1) <13 7 5 4 3 1>
39 1 0x5ae19000 0x6000 0x5000 com.apple.driver.ApplePS2Controller (1.1.0) <7 5 4 3 1>
50 0 0x5ae5c000 0x4000 0x3000 com.apple.driver.ApplePS2Keyboard (1.2.0) <39 31 7 6 5 4 3 1>
bash-3.2#

It seems that PS2 mouse device was not detected, and wasn't loaded ApplePS2Mouse kext.

Do you have any solution?

Fully Install Instruction
 

By the way, may anyone instruct how to clean install with vampyrex13's drivers?
Which post's method in this thread can match before install his drivers?

I have a question regarding the installation of the Audio EFI string.

What I have now done doesn't seem to work. Here's what I did: I've downloaded the .ZIP file supplied and installed the kext files using kext helper, after that I used the EFI string also supplied by Gold. I've tried using EFI studio, but it didn't seem to have an option for audio, so instead I selected a random video card, removed the EFI string supplied by the program, and replaced it with the one supplied for the audio support.

Am I doing something wrong? My X61 seems to have working audio option, but there's no actual sound coming out of the speakers/line-out.

Any help appreciated.

Further information regarding installation and version:
Thinkpad X61 7675-CTO
Snow Leopard 10.6.3 Vanilla installation w/ myHack updated to Vanilla 10.6.4 with out any modifications.

Working from the get go:
Graphics
Wireless
Bluetooth
USB

Installed kexts:
PS2 kext
SleepEnabeler kext
AHCI kext
Intel internet kext
SDHC kext

Anything else I should install? I have the feeling that my screen is also at a very low brightness, and I can't seem to find any option to increase/reduce it. Is this a known issue with the x61's?

Is there any need for me to "upgrade" for an example my graphic drivers? I know for an example that it is normal in Windows to always download the latest release of drivers from the manufacturer, because the stock Windows drivers just don't cut it. Any input on this, please?

I would be glad with any help, really. As you can see I'm still a newbie when it comes down to kext/efi string editing, or any rather none vanilla OSX86 editing.

Thus I thank you for this very useful thread, which was a lot of help for me just on his own.

Can everyone in this thread get sleep functionary and when resume from sleep, get all devices work correctly?
My x61 can sleep and wake, but when wake from sleep, thinkpad's broadcom bluetooth chip goes not detected.

My osx86 installation method is this thread's vanpire13's one.
CPU management and ACPI functions works with SL native via DSDT mod.

Does anyone have any solutions for Bluetooth work after resuming?

I just finished getting the pathmaps figured out and now have working internal and external mics. I still don't have any volume control on the internal mic though. Here's my AppleHDA.kext file. I'm trying to see if I can get autosensing working for the mic and get rid of the error messages at boot.

I have also attached my DSDT file, which removes the need for the EFI string by putting everything (including device descriptions) into the DSDT file. I have also renamed several devices to match the MacBook device names.

BANKERROR: This DSDT file solves the bluetooth problem. As for your trackpad, you may need to get a copy of the ApplePS2.kext that has the trackpad plugin inside. My X61 has no trackpad, so I removed that plugin. As for a clean install, I just do a default install with aitkos with the sound kexts unselected and ApplePS2.kext selected (this will have the trackpad plugin you need). Once it's installed, I remove all the plugins from Extra/Extensions and copy in mine and install my DSDT file. I use Kext Helper to set my permissions correctly.

Thanks for your great work!
 

vampyrex13, Thanks for your great work!
I'll try your new dsdt and kexts, later.

BTW, My x61 doesn't have trackpad. I was mistaken. That was trackpoint, sorry.

Now, My trackpoint have worked course I put AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext and ApplePS2Controller.kext from /E/E to /S/L/E .
But I don't know why.

vampyrex31, Do you know the reason?

vampyrex13. wow! That's great working.

working sound & mic, bluetooth perfectly~~ even more sleep/wake up

Thank you.

But. i have a problem yet. FN+F4 is not work to sleep.

Good Good

DSDT is awesome
 

I tried vampirex13's new dsdt and kexts.
bluetooth goes fine. It work after resume. Great!

Yes, I have same problem HOT KEY's for sleep(Fn + F4) and brightness control(ScrLK and Pause).

vampirex13's DSDT work is awesome. I want to look dsdt.dsl file and composing method.

Done. Here is my current DSDT file, revision 35. My brightness works fine on my X61 as long as I don't have an external monitor attached. I don't recall if the Fn-F4 sleep combo ever worked, because I never used it since I just close the lid to put mine to sleep.

Woohoo, I finally got the AppleHDA.kext fully working with zero errors. God, I think I rebooted my laptop over 50 times trying to get it completely debugged. Everything works, but it's a little quirky if you try to switch to Line Out (UltraBase rear mic input) and External Mic (right mic input). I found that I sometimes lose the External Mic input when switching to the Line Out and vice-versa. I think it's because of how the Levovo reroutes the audio to the external Ultrabase dock. I had the same issue when using VoodooHDA.

I'm sorry, my x61's brightness control key worked when my x61 was undocked.

Thanks for your fixed files!
Many people who own x61 will welcome your works.

Wow, 50 reboots, god bless your laptop ;)

I installed all drivers you provided, everything works perfectly, thank you in advance ^_^

vampyrex13, Thanks yr effort.My X61's almost works expect my wireless card, because it is intel one.

in previous week, I read a blog which mentioned how to install Mac OSX after you installed Windows 7.

I try to tidy up and re-write in English so that we can dual-boot.

I really appreciate your hard work. Hopefully my T61 with X3100 will work perfect on iATKOS S3. BTW, Can anyone recommend the best hackintoch version for T61. I do hope my intergreted camera can work on Snow leopard 10.6.3

dsdt x61s
 

Hello,

I just succesfully installed SL with all update to 10.6.4. All through MyHack + some kexts.

Still have some bug with the usb ports. Mostly work but if I plug on iPhone the sync to iPhoto fails.

For the rest, sound, ethernet, graphic, battery meter, that pretty work well.

In the first post of this thread it is mentioned that dsdt file will be uploaded. Where is the link for that ? I will test it in order to if this improve the usb ports comportment.

Thank for your support.

Fred

only 32bit?
 

Does anybody get it working on x64? I'm wondering if it's just my problem or the kext's limitation.

Hi, vampyrex13, I used all your files and instructions installing snowleopard on my X61, everything works perfectly except the intel wifi card, which I will replace with atheros 9280 later. THe CPU of my X61 is T7300, 2.0GHz. I have 2X2GB DDR 2 800 RAM installed.

Now what is bugging me is the sleeping function. Every time I close the lid, it is still on, the green moon LED would NOT light up. When I open the lid again, the screen is off, I need to hold the power button for a few seconds to bring it back, when it prompts for restart options.

Do I need to replace the sleepenabler.kext in S/L/E? I did not find the file in your package.

Thank you for your time!

You do not need sleep enabler. that may be causing the issues.

Great report
 

The files that you provided are so good!!! especially the DSDT rev 35!! it is amazing, you fixed all the problems!I really do appreciated your work.
Just a few things:
1.Have you tried Deep sleep? Does it work? I m not sure which method to use C1M4 or C1M3.
*Confirmed with C1M4 i got deep sleepworking.
*Auto deep sleep achieved by combination of Smartsleep App which sets hibernation mode and a script to execute sleep when battery is low.

2. Brightness hotkey works with Intelframebuffer 1.6.1 and Graphicenabler= yes, but without the PNLF fix in DSDT. Now I have brightness control via that bar however not the hotkey,
*Brightness control works with Hotkey but missmaped, it is controlled by Key : ScrLk and Pause

3.There was a guy claimed that he got the scroll key to work, i tried it, but it was not working properly. It was a VoodooPS2 kext. I m just wondering if it is possible to remap it to ApplePS2
*Scroll works in firefox browser.
*Scroll works with middle button and trackpad by Smartscroll App.

4.Bluetooth is unable to turn off, I think it caused by improper device ID in IOBluetoothfamily.kext.
*This is the only one i m left to solve so far.
*Fixed by inject the correct DevID. Iobluetoothfamily.kext/plugin/BroadcomUSBbluetooth
-issue: there are tons of devices were added to bluetooth preferences, and it is so persistent that it would stay even the bluetooth.plist were deleted from library/preferences. In addition the device becomes slow!
-Fixed by deleting bluetooth Dun connection from Network preferences

5.Fan control is working but does not function as it should.
I have fan control on battery. However it is gonna be lost after AC is plugged in and plugged off. Only a cold shut down and restart can re-enable fan control

*Another issue, Can you please check your Kernel log. I got TSC unsyn error

Here is the recent log
Seems like it happens when kernel calls awake,

Hi, Vampyrex, your files are so good. Thanks for the reply.
I did a clean installation again, using your DSDT and kexts, no sleepenabler. But it still does not go to sleep. Everytime I close the lid, or click the sleep on screen, the LCD is off, but the computer still running, the green 'sleep' LED would not light up.
I am using the latest ver. 2.1 bios. The CPU is intel T7300. 3G RAM.

and one thing I am not sure is, there is no com.apple.Boot.plist in your extra folder. I am using a standard one created by 'multibeast' from tonymacx86.blogspot.com.
