10.6 retail problem with 8500GT, ALC889a & CMOS reset

After some troubels I finaly managed to install retail 10.6. I used DSDT patcher and Chameleon 2RC3. I've put gfx hex (made by OSx86 tools) in com.apple.Boot.plist

1. After next boot I've tryed to change resolution in Display settings (offered me all resolutions) but after resolution change I get blue screen. After restart allso blue screen (I have to boot with -x to boot with 1024x768. I need 1280x1024x32@75Hz) Does OSX put resolution values in some file??

2. What .kext to use for sound?

3. How to remove CMOS reset after every boot?

configuration:
MBO: GA P35-DS3R
GFX: nVidia 8500GT 512
2 SATA HDD
IDE DVD RW DL
4GB RAM

com.apple.Boot.plist in /Extra

I allso need drivers for USB WiFi Netgear WG111v3. Offitial drivers for 10.5 dont work.

P.S. Sorry for my bad english :D

You can fix the cmos reset bug either by dsdt or by kext
kext available here
http://www.kexts.com/cat/last.html
dsdt explanation here
http://netkas.org/?p=114

Also you don't need dsmos and fakesmc delete dsmos
I would also delete Alcinject if I were you
As to audio you have legacyHDA which if it is the right one you need either another kext "enabler" or again to edit your dsdt

If your stuck with dsdt I'll help you

Tx for replay. I'll try edit DSDT and I'll remove ALCinject and dsmos.

What about gfx card? Why do I get blue screen after resolution change?

Not really sure to be honest, You could try removing efi string and try either chameleon graphicsenabler in com.apple.boot.plist or dsdt method.
I can point you to threads to enable audio and graphics via dsdt if you can't find them.

I have put code for 8500GT in DSDT & remove dsmos.kext but if dsmos is not in extensions folder boot stops after "waiting for dsmos"

For the moment you could remove fakesmc and keep dsmos while you check out other things as they are both basically supposed to do the same job, but I'm guessing that you don't have an smbios.plist in your extra folder.

Heres my list of files in /extra
com.apple.Boot.plist
DSDT.aml
smbios.plist

Extensions
fakesmc.kext
LegacyHDA.kext
OpenHaltRestart.kext
PlatformUUID.kext

You shouldn't need anything else provided your graphics, audio, lan are in DSDT

I got audio & CMOS reset working, but I still dont have QE/CI. I followed tutorial on this forum but nothing works

i allso have strange problem with WG111v3 USB WiFi. After install Realtek client util shows that is connected to router, but Network prefs cant get IP from DHCP. It got self asigned IP. If I put manual adresses it shows connected in Network prefs but Safari cannt connect to internet (in leo everything is working OK)

Not sure about the wifi problem but if you send me your dsdt I'll have a look and see if the graphics is okay. When you say you don't have QE/CI enabled how are you testing?

Here is my DSDT.dsl try to look at it, maybe You figure it out why gfx doesn't work

Try that don't know if it will make any difference but worth a try

Just a thought though, you do know that snow doesn't give details of QE/CI in system profiler, you have to test it using something that uses open gl, I believe frontrow is one such app if it runs you have QE otherwise I believe it crashes, or running xbench is probably a good idea

Or you can have a look at my dsdt it's not my work it's based on a mac pro and I've added a couple of things, as far as I can tell everything works including things like smbus, speedstep etc.
If you used it you would have to alter graphics and audio, but most importantly the cpu speeds for speedstep.

As for your wifi try reading these two threads
