Installing Snow Leopard on ThinkPad X61

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 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

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

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.

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

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.

[kissofwolf]

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.
