Hi everyone.. i installed universal snow leopard 3.6 distro on my d630 when i have a nvdia chip… now my mobo burnt with famous nvidia bug and i bought an intel version of the mobo. i tried to plug my working install to new setup with an intel graphics and encountered black screen as well.. is there any way to get it working without installing a new instance?

tried everything, fresh install and after then screen goes black.. when i removed gma kexts osx finally shows it's face but only in 1024x768... even with the various dsdt.aml files i got this far.. but nothing more... just the screen resolution doesn't work.. everything ok except that.. any solutions?

Thank you NIpsmG so much! :D
You're my hero.:-*

when i plug an external monitorit works.. but i want to work with my internal panel.. any suggestions?

The way I do it is that I use a docking station, at the boot prompt from Chameleon press the Fn key and F8 together, this switches to my external display and my laptop display will go black. I then boot and when it loads the driver it automatically switches back to the laptop display and I am able to use the laptop from there onwards.

Solved with a dsdt fix search and apply: dsdt dual data link for wxga+
now everything on my d630 including x3100 with all properities (QE/CI, sleep, wake-up) at 1440x900... just mirroring doesn't work but i don't need it...
used universal snow leopard 3.6 and not done a fresh install.. i used my old installation with nvidia graphics.. just removed natit and used provided kexts from distro ;)

Help with Dell D830
 

Can someone please help me with installing 10.6.2 or 10.6.3 on my Dell D830...

I am not sure exactly what steps to follow here...

So far if I install snow leopard from the retail dvd using Empire EFI and then use your kext pack on this thread I get a CPU/Kernel mismatch panic.

I noticed that s0nykus has the same config as me earlier in this thread and he has made it work...

I guess I need to know..

1) Should I be using Empire EFI?
2) Do i need kexts if I modify my dsdt?
3) can someone help me with modifying the dsdt? I am not 100% sure how...Links would help alot!
4) If I use kexts do I need to modify my dsdt?

Thats all I can think of now...Thanks everyone in advance for any help!

Have you read the guide posted at: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=E3O897IL

Your problem could be solved following instruction on page 9.

Hi everybody !
i would like to know if your D630 install are stable because i have a lot of kernel panic.

Tkanks for your feedback!

For those struggling with getting Dual Display supported on their nVidea Quadro NVS 140M graphics card based DELL notebook, please note that I (finally) got it working by removing any VGA kext injector (like Natit.kext or NVinjectorGo.kext) en just activating the GraphicsEnabler key for Chameleon 2.0-RC4 (please note that you DO NEED Chameleon 2.0-RC4 as earlier releases do not seem to work!) in the com.apple.Boot.plist by adding:

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>

I now have 1920x1080x32 on my external DELL 2407WFP (recognized as such) and 1680x1050x32 on the internal display. Both mirrored as extended desktop work flawlessly. The only downside I still have is that only the VGA output port works (HDMI port does not) but that's really a minor issue.

These are the kexts I've currently installed on my Snow Leopard 10.6.3:
AppleACPIBatteryManager.kext
AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext
AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext
ApplePS2Controller.kext
fakesmc.kext
NullCPUPowerManagement.kext
OSXRestart.kext
SleepEnabler.kext (10.6.3 version)
VoodooHDA.kext (removed AppleHDA.kext)

which enabled:
- Battery management (Battery status in menu bar is fully operational)
- USB (mouse, external keyboard, headset,...)
- Built in Ethernet
- Trackpad
- Sleep mode
- Sound (both Output AND Input for built in speakers/mic AND external Logitech USB Headset/A-0374A, even the volume up/down and mute buttons are fully operational!)

Next things to address: Shut Down/Restart and WiFi...
