Dell Latitude D620 / D630 / D830 手提電腦完整 Kext 驅動整合包

@airwalk776Quadro NVS 135M tried GFX string, nvkush, natit, nvinject, nothing seems to enable QE/CI. I get resolutions but dvd player errors out and dont get the ripple effect in dashboard so I know for sure that QE/CI is not enabled.

@airwalk776 and all others with problems with Quadro NVS:

Guys, the Natit package works really well OOTB...

If it doesn't you need to troubleshoot in the usual ways:

1. Remove all injectors from /Extra/Extensions and /System/Library/Extensions or your Extensions.mkext and GFX EFI strings from all Boot.plist files.
2. Use kexthelper to install Natit.kext

This should work fine with no extra troubles, unless you have mess it up somewhere before.

Hope it helps!

first thanks for the effort. I own a d630/intel gma x3100 and I also get a black screen with backlight on instead of the actual screen.

I there a way to get the source version of the dsdl.aml file? So I could compare it to my version I compiled myself.

Or even better, what patch was applied to get the x3100 working for you?

@slicI have DSDT.aml from my pack and works perffectly Use DSDT PATCHER GUI and compile new on your osx86 (DSDT PATCHER GUI have auto optimization). Download here tr .im/zSBh btw. don't forget boot with kernel flag (32bit): arch=x86 X3100 Currently no have yet 64bit kexts

Thanks for the quick reply. I know I have to use the 32bit kernel and i know how to use dsdt patcher/iasl compiler but when I use your dsdt or my selfcompiled version I always end up with a quick grey desktop (so the graphics are somehow working, the kernel extensions get loaded) but after that the screen is black with backlight on.

Btw., do you get this messages at startup?

Warning - kext com.apple.driver.AppleIntelGMAX3100FB has immediate dependencies on both com.apple.kernel* and com.apple.kpi.* components; use only one style.

What bios version do you use? Do you use some kind of smbios.plist? Do you do something special to your dsdt? I mean the patcher only takes care of some minor issues and hpet and real time clock (rtc). besides that it does nothing to get your graphics working! I tried to remove the complete agp parts but that didn't work either. After this i'm stuck with a complete black screen...

@slichmm.. yes this messages i have too i using smbios.plist in /Extra > SMmanufacter Apple Inc. SMproductname MacBook3,1 SMserial W8813QJ5Y55 My bios version is A04, dsdt is generated by dsdtpatchergui no another modifications

Ok, maybe thats the reason a04 is old. i currently use a15. maybe you get a different dsdt with this bios version. Could you upload the uncompiled version of dsdtpatchergui? it is in the session folder of the application. then i could make a diff and see if there is something different. the smbios.plist did nothing for me

Well, downgrade to a04 didn't work either... i think i will give up for now

The DSTS.aml file in the pack is not working for me too. al I get is half a screen. with to me really looks distorted, I see the welcome movie. (well half of it). getting the same error messages as achtung. could someone drop me a line?

thanks for the file but still no go, getting half the screen, and it looks distorted. when I delete the the file I do not even get the half screen. (same as earlier). tried to make one myself but those work neither.

you made it work with natit only? d630 with nvs135m? which version of natit? do you have a url? 32 or 64 bit mode? dsdt? sorry but i tried about 1000 nvcap values and i am majorly frustrated with the nvs... 10.5.8 worked nicely.

tried everything from this kext-pack (quatro) here. os-x works but the grafix are not hw accelerated. i'm very close to giving up.

Guys, I made it work with Intel® GMA X3100 10.5.X Combo Drivers →. Got 1440x900 QE/CI working. So if you cannot make ik work with stock drivers you could try this one

Hi slic, I have a compac presario c700 and everything works with iatkos 7 except wireless and my lappie is getting hot with the fan spiking every 30 seconds or so. Do you have or know of a kext that would help me out?

Hi, not sure what you mean by wifi card man, but here are the specs of the lappie. I think the AppleACPIPlatform.kekxt is modified.

Sorry, mate, I will try to get the info to you. I have heard others say it is a broadcom wireless. Does "802.11b/g WLAN" mean anyting?

And do you know of anyone who has one of these laptops running Snow? I tried using some config files by another user but the biggest issues is the gfx drivers (X300 by intel. It will often not boot into snow, stopping at chalky white screen. It also has a celeron cpu which you can bypass issues with by using the cpus=1 -v -f arch=i386 GraphicsEnabler=No flag. Any other help would be great. I have Kalyway 10.5.4 running flawelessly on this laptop

Thanks for you help…

...make the gfx card on this lappie "X3100" pretty popular set by intel

oK man, the wifi card is a broadcom. But I cant seem to get this card going with iatkos 7 as there are no broadcom driver options in the install. Any suggestions?

@ynoc:

You can find Silent Natit on electro's repository:

cid-8b65993ef55cf014.skydrive.li ve.com/self.aspx/.Public/OSx86/Snow%20Leopard/Drivers%20kext%20%5E5Sterowniki%5E6/==%20graphics%20card%20%5E5Karty%20graficzne%5E6==/SilentNatit.kext.x86%5E_64.zip

It works like a charm for me, only thing that I lose is restart/shutdown... but I wasn't able to do that either on Leopard, already tried Psystar's OpenHaltRestart.kext to no avail...

Hope this works for you!

@achtungOk, maybe thats the reason a04 is old. i currently use a15. maybe you get a different dsdt with this bios version.

Hi, I have Dell D630 too and bios ver. A16 (last one from dell.support.com) and dsdt.aml from x3100 pack goes perfect in native resolution 1280x800. So try the file dsdt.aml move to folder /Extra/, not to root folder and boot with arch=i386

@slicNew update soon! Changes: - DSDT.aml with new fixes (original apple speedstep, booting without NulCPUPowerManagment etc.) - Installer package - Sleep

Great work, I am waiting for it!

I got almost everything working using your installer, thanks. For some odd reason for the graphics and internet it gave me an error about the kexts not being installed properly, (must have been the version of boot132 I was using). I reinstalled package again and graphics installed fine. Now just the internet will not work. I've tried to use the 2nd Wifi card in my laptop, it's a Realtek (from MSI wind laptop) that I've used in Leo fine, but the WLAN configuration utility does not want to run in SL.

Question: I have 10.6.0 and have used the installer package provided to install my kexts.. What is the safest way to upgrade to 10.6.1? Using built in updates and re-installing kexts after the update?

Specs: D630: Quadro 135m: 4GB RAM.

Thanx for the installer!

Chipsatz-Modell: GMA X3100 Typ: Monitor Bus: Integriert VRAM (gesamt): 144 MB Hersteller: Intel (0x8086) Geräte-ID: 0x2a02 Versions-ID: 0x000c

Just 2 more Questions:
I have a D630!

1) Will my internal monitor work with my standart resolution 1400x900?
2) Is it possible to select a target device for the installer? I'd like to install from my Leopard installation on an other Partition. But I cant boot until I installed your patches!

Thanx for your help,
teufel2k

@slic1) Try it, but i think not X3100 supports only 1280 X 800 max. 2) Install only to partition where is installed Chameleon bootloader or install new chameleon (integrated in pack). Another way is install files manualy from sources (download link in first post)

Nah, I run my D630 with the internal display at 1280 x 800 and I have an external display plugged-in that runs at 1680 x 1050.

Thanks for you excellent work mate!

What about that Original speedstep stuff, how do I activate it?
I guess only unloading the nullpowermanagement stuff should do the trick right?
Do you run without it?

Slic,
Thanks again man, you really made all the harder work easy.

*I fixed my ethernet issue by just deleting the ethernet kext completely and using wifi.
*I fixed my natit.kext issue by re-installing it with the kext helper.
Both issues for some reason said the kexts were not installed properly and could not be used.
*Docking Station - Limited Support - Headphone jack doesn't mute audio from laptop.
*Docking Station - Touchpad quits working after "undock"
*the 10.6.1 update worked great.
*I plan to test out the speedstep
*also plan testing outputting to 1080p 32" via docking station.
*I need to Repair my Hard Drive.. It says it does not pass Verification.
Next Project: Next I will be working on dual boot with windows 7 and chameleon 2rc3.

I'm very confused.
The systemprofiler tells me that i have a x3100 and under windows my native resolution is 1440x900! (sorry missed the 40px) The next resolution is 1280x768 in windows!

Isnt that the same in all D630 ?

Hm, what is so special with my X3100?

My internal Monitor doesn't work and on my external monitor there is no Problem with 1600x900! And I have got a D630 too!

Hmm? perhaps someone knows the difference?

Hello i got several Problems..

I installed 10.6 in the D630 Harddisk using "OSInstall.mpkg" on my Macbook. Just the system, no fonts, no translations..
Then i installed chameleon bootloader 2RC3.pkg.
After this i expanded your "DELL D620/630/830 INTEL X3100.mpkg", so i was getting intel.pkg which i also expanded. I copied everything in there, in the locations on D630 Harddisk.

Then i did the followed in Terminal:
(D630 HDD = "sl")

cd /Volumes/sl/System/Library/Extensions  
chown –R root:wheel *
chmod –R 755 *

cd /Volumes/sl/Library/LaunchDaemons
chown –R root:wheel *
chmod –R 755 *

cd /Volumes/sl/Library/Preferences/
chown –R root:wheel *
chmod –R 755 *

cd  /Volumes/sl/Extra
chown –R root:wheel *
chmod –R 755 *

Now i was booting the HDD in my D630 and the "after-install-screen" appeared. But only internal keyboard was working. I created my user and now i´m stuck in desktop.

wifi works
sound works
x3100 works

but

usb fail (wake up in BIOS is enabled)
touchpad fail

Also appears multiple boxes with Messages, that "System extension cannot be used" "was installed improperly"

What can i do?

Chameleon also uses the /Extra/Extensions for certain extensions. Just to be sure, run this from terminal:

chmod -R 755 /Extra/Extensions/
chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/
chown -R root:wheel /Extra/Extensions/
chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions
diskutil repairpermissions /

X3100 is just showing colors and lines

After failing with other instruction sets for the D630 and failing to get QE/CI, I installed all this stuff on a fresh copy of 10.6.0 for my D630, and the system appears to be booting just fine. However, the display simply shows a bunch of colors and lines.

Previously, I had gotten the X3100 to work with Leopard 10.5.2, including QE/CI, so I know it's possible. I still have an image of that disk around so I tried the EFI strings from its com.apple.Boot.plist. That didn't work.

I also tried booting into Debian Linux, whence I dumped the DSDT, decompiled, edited the RTC section, and recompiled it using iasl. Then I put the new DSDT into /Extra. Still no joy.

Can anyone share any other ideas for me? Is there some kext I should try changing or modifying? Some way of generating new EFI strings? A chicken to sacrifice? Help!

Here its the same problem! Have you got a internal display with 1440x900?

External Display should work, give it a try!

@Dispnti found solution for fix sleep display and black screen with vanilla kexts now you can use stock GMAX3100 kext and get rid of black screen with this installer here (osx86blog.blog spot.com/2009/10/intel-gmax3100-and-gma950-sleep-display.html) have fun

any one try this before

Dont fix Touchpad unless you have to..

"Touchpad is extremely sensitive
This is because the daemon is triggered.
Download this file box .net/shared/b6mxm0odt8
and copy to /Users/USER/Library/LaunchAgents/"

My system was really unstable and I couldn't run SL more than 30 minutes without programs beginning to not respond. I found out it was because of the above.. that file was overloading my ram after a while. In process manager it was listed over 20 times. I guess I didn't need it, my mouse isn't that sensitive anyways.

Deleted the file from Launch Agents and it works amazing now.

Meantime my Touchpad is running well. But usb & bluetooth is broken every second reboot. Which kext is responsible for these two?

Especially after runnig "diskutil repairpermission" much get broken. Why?

@teufel2kHere its the same problem! Have you got a internal display with 1440x900? External Display should work, give it a try! teufel2k

Yes, I have WXGA+ with a resolution of 1440 x 900, and the external display does work but that's no good on an airplane. Do the people with no problem own lower resolution displays?

What is frustrating to me is that it did work nicely before, using Leo 10.5.2. I wish I knew why!

Hi Slic. I downloaded the provided kext for my X3100/Dell630 machine. I have iatkos7 in ISO format burned onto a dvd. It's unable to boot with any kind of boot options or bios settings.
Please how can I update my ISO file with the provided kexts?
Tanks a lot

@rdachs2Meantime my Touchpad is running well. But usb & bluetooth is broken every second reboot. Which kext is responsible for these two? Especially after runnig "diskutil repairpermission" much get broken. Why?

Just noticed mine does the same thing...

First of all I want to say thx for your great package !

I've done a fresh install off SL on my Dell D630 (nvidia+broadcomm wifi)
All devices are working fine (wifi etc)..
But I've two issues now and I hope you guys can help me out.

1. BIG ISSUE: My internal display won't turn off. When I want to go to sleep mode it just don't turn off. If I hit the power button again the power menu comes up again and I can click on cancel.. but there is no sleep, I think just because the display won't turn off.. (btw I doesn't turn off either after a few minutes of inactivity)

Is this a problem with the nvidia kexts or powermanagent ? (I noticed QE is NOT working ! ) I hope you can help me because Sleep Mode is very important for me. (Reboot/Shutdown works fine)

2. Small Issue: the touchpad sensivity..
I tried the first soultion you posted and it worked but I had 10-30 of these processes which slowed down my performance. Then I tried the second soultion.. it is working much better than without the fix but its not gone completely. If there is a third thing I can do this would be great...

So thats the curent state of my "hackbook" , I hope there is way to make it completely working. If you have any ideas I will be your testing candidate

I have a D620 with NVidia Quadra NVS 110m. I wonder if the kexts here can be used for my computer. Thanks.

Sorrz but I don't know if it will work on your card too. Just give it a try

Zdravim SLIC, ja mam problem s USB portami, co se tyce teho noveho packu, konkretne ide o DSDT.aml. Kdyz sem pouzil ten puvodnej, co si tu mnel, tak ide v pohode, ale tam zas nefunguje sleep ani clamshell. Tak se chci zeptat, jak bych mohl ten starej DSDT.aml upravit, aby mi fungoval sleep a clamshell. Skousel sem extrahovat DSDT.aml cez WinXP aj cez Linuxovou distribuci, ale pote byl problem s displayem, po nabootovani sem mnel cernou obrazovku.

@arb: The Natit kext will most likely work out for you, I don't know about the CPU, I remember in leopard we had to use a special kernel to enable the dual core as it would create a funny effect, I don't know if this has been corrected in SL.

If you look around you might find a Broadcom kext compatible with your card, at least in 32bits mode, I was able to get my D620 working very well in Leopard, now I am using a D630 so I don't the current status.

Hope you can make it work. Please post your results!

I downloaded the boot disk from another site and could install SL successfully.
Everything except Wake from Sleep seems to be working. I wonder if the kext pack here can fix Wake from Sleep issue. I am pretty new to Mac, so I don't know what is the problem, the power management or video card, etc. Any help or suggestion will be appreciated.

Hey arb,

Where you download your boot disk ? link ?

I search a 123Boot CD for my D630...

I downloaded D620SLV1.iso from
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=17… ↗
There is a boot file for 10.5.6, but SL seems to be better.

This installer is the best! I did a fresh install last night and after running the installer I am the closest I've been to fully functional. If I could just get sleep to work I'd be satisfied. I have a 630 with x3100 graphics, 4 gigs of ram and two internal wifi cards. (I bought a broadcom off Ebay a long time ago as the 3945 seemed hopeless) I think the BIOS level is A14. When I select sleep the screen goes black and everything shuts down briefly and then it powers back up. You hear the fan and the optical drive comes to life but the screen stays black and nothing will wake it up. I discovered that if you select "onboard video" as the primary video in the BIOS settings for docking behavior it effects sleep in that the screen does wake up--it's just that it won't stay asleep. Maybe someone who has sleep working could post their BIOS settings and any other tips that make it work. I'll keep trying…

Thanks, unfortunately i have a black screen after booting snow dvd (i think is the graphic card kext cause crash)

Anybody have the perfect boot 132 disk for D630?

Thanks for your help

thanks to slic and little toying around I have a nice running D630 with Snow Leopard. (I figured that my 1440x900 just needs Natit.kext with old AppleIntelGMAX3100FB.kext, I wish I could find the sources for this kernel extensions to build a 64bit version. I found some newer Natit.kext sources which doesn't include the intel graphics anymore. The kernel extension is not very complicated...)

But now my main issue:

Sleep works fine after a fresh startup. But after some time of usage it just doesn't work anymore. The laptop starts up immediatly after going to sleep. Does somebody have the same issue or even better a solution/suggestion?

I think it has something to do with heat/fan activity. Maybe the bios somehow prevents the laptop from going to sleep (it also has control over the fan speed). Also sleep only works only after a new start when the laptop was inactive for a while, again most likely because of a cooler system?

There is a "ThermalZone" Scope in the dsdt.dsl. Could this be a way to modify the behaviour?

And by the way: I used hibernate as a work around in leopard for a while. But with SL the bootloader(netkas,chameleon) always says the hibernate image file is corrupted. Any solution for this issue?

@larry870624Good job!Thanks to your kext package.I had installed SL on my Quadro d630 successfully.I also tried your dsdt.aml.Unlucky,it didn't support qe ci on my laptop.So can you make an efi string for my nvs 135 ,plz.Thank you.

Hello,
Could you please explain what install method and even bios revison & settings you used to install on the Dell D630.

I have the following hardware:
Dell D630
Intel Core 2 Dual
Nvidia Quadro NVS135M
2GB Ram
160GB HD
DVD/RW

Cause everything I try (removed AppleIntelPIIPATA & IOATAFamily did the trick to boot but than I am unable to acces my buitlin DVD or USB ports).

With kinds regards,
Steve

Sleep, Restart, Shutdown not working ...

I have a D630 with an NVidia graphic card
When i install SL the first time, shutdown, restart and sleep work
After i apply the driver pack, sleep, restart and shutdown won't trigger the hardware to stop
I just have a blank (black) screen :'(

I have to push the power button few seconds to shutdown the system completely

I was wondering if someone had this issue and found something, like a kext preventing the system shutdown/restart/sleep ...

Any clue will be welcome !

Anyone Else get this when they run ps -ef in terminal? Is there a fix for this? I know it's to do with the mouse.. I dont think making a new User Daemon will fix this.. After using the system for about an hour it will no longer let me open applications, giving me the error "unknown error -10810" Maybe 64bit mouse drivers/Touchpad drivers would fix?

I have this issue too ! Its because of the ffscrolldaemon, its getting started many many times so the system gets out of memory. If I type "killall -9 ffscrolldaemon" in the terminal I can use the system again…

Does anybody knows how to fix this ?

As picture shown here:
I'm beginning to wonder if unchecking "Keep it running at all times" would be a fix, or if that would cause your keyboard and mouse stop functioning all together. I'm too afraid to try things like this out. Somewhere on google I thought I saw a page in reference to the -10810 error, where someone came up with a solution to limit the process to only running 5 active processes (I forget where I saw this.) But this could also be a solution.
Maybe another way could be to rewrite FFScroll completely, but I won't think that would solve the issue really. If interested in trying though see here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=88811 ↗

Like I said, I haven't actually tried any of them out. Just trying to research to find best solution.

works for me. The problem with the original one is the <key>KeepAlive</key> key. Its obvious that the daemon only has to be started once at startup. Just modify the path to the executable if you've installed it somewhere different.

Thanks thought this could be it. I just used the Ligon application in first post to edit the file. I'll try it out and see if I still have issues.

Working now

After much difficulty this kext pack is now mostly working for me (only the trackpad fails). One of the big issues was that the video drivers for GMAX3100 did not work...perhaps they are only good for WXGA and not WXGA+ like I have. In any case, a generous soul provided working drivers in this post:

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?s=&showt… ↗

Another key to success was that (using Chameleon 2 RC3) having extensions in /Extra behaved differently from having them in /System/Library/Extensions. I moved everything to /S/L/E/.

Also note that, while I'm not sure of the necessity of having done so, I booted in Linux, dumped and decompiled the DSDT, edited in the "usual" ways, and recompiled it. I basically followed what you see in the link below:

http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=515 ↗

I forgot to say also that, when I copied the SL install disk over to a USB nerdstick, the D630 refused to boot from it. It was therefore necessary to first install Snow Leopard on the main hard disk using a USB enclosure and nearby Mac Mini (which I also used for terminal work). Then I could transfer the drive over to the D630 for further work.

Note also that when I subsequently used Migration Assistant to transfer from the old Leopard hackintosh setup, it hosed the SL installation. I restored from backup and avoided making that mistake a second time.

Some people asked for my DSDT. You can find it attached:

@xoverSome people asked for my DSDT. You can find it attached:

OK, but this is the same as from Dell d630 pack, and with this dsdt.aml, I have problem with recognize USB devices

Did you guys even test your pack before posting

PLEASE TEST YOUR SOFTWARE BEFORE CLAIMING IT WORKS PROPERLY FOR THE DELL D620/D630 and D820 or whatever. WE ALL KNOW YOUR DSDT IS NO GOOD FOR THE D630 and my D620! YOUR PS2 SCROLL DRIVERS HAVE ISSUES WITH THE XML CONFIG, SINCE YOU GUYS WERE TOO STONED TO ACTUALLY DO SOME TESTING. DO YOU THINK ITS COOL TO POST FIRST ABOUT SOMETHING AND CLAIM U GOT IT WORKING? EVEN THOUGH YOU DIDN'T?

P.S. HERE IS A KEXT PACK I TESTED THAT WORKS FOR THE D620
You should edit the smbios.plist according to ur ram speed.

PLACE EXTENSIONS in /Extra/Extensions
PLACE KEXTS in /System/Library/Extensions

CHEERS NEWBS!
OH BTW, SL 10.6.0 doesn't like having kexts in /S/L/E
So I still havn't gotten Graphics working on my Quadro 110m

Btw this dell d620 with quadro 110m works fine with Kalyway 10.5.2
vanilla kernel / Nvidia inject Go driver

First things first, thanks for the great work of putting all this stuff together.

People *should* understand that there are often slight differences between laptops even under the same model name. There might be several different revisions, bringing on subtle differences between hardware platforms. Thus, not everything that works for one of us perfectly, will also work for the other. Dsdt files may even differ from one bios version to the other, amount of ram, etc., on the same platform, not to mention subtle revision changes and different production lots on various components, made by the manufacturer. Therefore, getting everything right is a long and often frustrating process, and it requires a lot of patience.

And you're always much better off extracting, editing, and recompiling *your own* dsdt file, instead of randomly trying out stuff that comes from others, not necessailly / completely matching your system's hardware specs.

I'm still in the pre-install phase, putting together everything I need for my first try. I have a D830 with Nvidia Quadro NVS140M, and hopefully, it will soon run SL if I'm lucky. The final target I have on my mind will be a triple boot SL / Win7 / Ubuntu installation, but let's just take it one step at the time.

The problem I've noticed in your first post is that you have the same link posted under "Download NVIDIA installer here" and "NVIDIA Sources", they both go the installer package. I would really like to have the nVidia source package instead, as I'm trying to install Chameleon to a small 200MB EFI partition, with kekxts and everything, and then vanilla SL to a different partition.

I've found this install method posted by r0m30 on the Chameleon / VodooLabs forums, and I'd like to give it a shot.

Hey mate, I'm on that thread as well... and this is the place I found the working kext files for my D620.

While following this process, if you happen to find the hpet.kext that was mentioned there, please do let me know! I think I'm soooo close to getting this working

Hey mate, good to see you here as well

I've patched, fixed and recompiled my very own DSDT with the koalala's DSDT Patcher GUI for windows, found on:

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=14… ↗

I've applied the fixes for HPET, RTC, Aliases, Local0 and MUTE using the patcher. Then I've manually fixed the "1 Errors, 9 Warnings, 7 Remarks" that I was getting with iasl.

It went easier than I've thought, and Google was my best friend. It helped me fix all but one remark, one that people say it can be safely overlooked. On a sidenote, I've had exactly the same results with iasl under linux, so I assume this windows version works quite identically.

Now, with a patched, cleaned and recompiled dsdt file, hopefully I won't even need a hpet kext anymore. Nor I will need the Disabler, and other dirty hacks.

msingh says that the nVidia Quadro NVS 140M on the D830 may (miraculously) work out of the box on a vanilla install.

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?&showtop… ↗

I still have to test that one, and confirm if it's true. Maybe I'm lucky and my graphics card was natively used in some macbook variant. Otherwise, I'll have to throw in the nVidia files as well, and cook them with the rest.

I think I'll give it a shot today, and come back with more info as soon as I'll get all this stuff up and running.

Cheers, and good luck!

10.6.2 Update Issues

I tried the 10.6.2 Update through Apple Update. Deleted and replaced SleepEnabler.kext before rebooting. Seemed to update fine. However, when rebooting, it seems as though USB and Audio (and even bluetooth) no longer work. I applied the original kexts.. but no success with getting them working again. Anyone else experience this or know the fix?

How I fixed my problem after the 10.6.2 update..this is odd, but it worked for me..
First I made a copy of my screwd up SL install to a USB. Then:
1. Went to:
osx86sv.word press.com/2009/10/23/os-x-on-a-dell-latitude-d630c-d630/
and downloaded Bootloader2. Installed the included Charmeleon 1 Installer to the USB drive, Copied included Boot to USB Drive /Volumes Folder.
2. Re-installed original Audio kexts from original D630 Package in this post (the original one, before the installer) Followed Included Directions on adding the VoodoHDA Helper and preferences.
The USB copy now has bluetooth working, audio, and USB again! I'm going to either do the same to my main drive or just clone it over.

Update: As mentioned in step 1.. The boot file included with that fixed almost all my issues.. It runs even better than before.. USB and Bluetooth work everytime now.. whereas before they would stop working every once in a while.

If you restart and have issues with your graphics resolution.. I just reinstalled the D630 installer package (uncheck option for reinstalling chameleon and then I used HelperKext to add SleepEnabler.kext and Natit.kext back in (to overwrite the existing bad ones). Also I dont need the Ethernet so I deleted that.

USB and Bluetooth fix that worked for me

@rdachs2Meantime my Touchpad is running well. But usb & bluetooth is broken every second reboot. Which kext is responsible for these two? Especially after runnig "diskutil repairpermission" much get broken. Why?

Radchs2, I think I found a fix for this.. See my last post. Replacing the Boot file fixed it for me. (Doesnt seem to run Chameleon RC2) but atleast usb and bluetooth no longer die every so often.

Make sure you replace the boot file using terminal: (2 lines)
sudo -s
cp /Volumes/NAME  OF DRIVE/LOCATION OF BOOT YOU DOWNLOADED/Boot /Volumes/NAME OF DRIVE

sound problems

I have D630 with intel video. I installed 10.6 and the kext pack.
If I boot in 64 bit mode, sound is ok, but video resolution is only 1024x768. in 32 bit video is good, but no sound.
What am I doing wrong? thanks!

32bit audio fix

@sad_nomadI have D630 with intel video. I installed 10.6 and the kext pack. If I boot in 64 bit mode, sound is ok, but video resolution is only 1024x768. in 32 bit video is good, but no sound. What am I doing wrong? thanks!

Not sure if this would work (it should work in 32bit mode for sure), but try fixing the sound this way. Download one of the original packs:
Old X3100 pack: box .net/shared/5dxqfrx5oz <-this one for you
Old NVIDIA pack: box .net/shared/xhi6evrq1s

1. You should see a VoodooHDA.kext. Drag it into Kext Helper b7 (download it if you dont have it)
2. Open folder called VoodooHDAHelper, drag the Voodoo HDA Helper program into your Utilities
3. Copy the folder VoodooHDA to Your_OS_X_disk/Library/
4. Add application Voodoo HDA Helper to list of login items in
System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items
5. Double click and install VoodooHDA.prefPane.

This is how I fixed my sound multiple times, works for me in 32 bit, I haven't tried 64 yet. Let me know if it works.

just a fyi. here is the guide I used. well all I used was the bootDisk ISO and installed from DVD directly fresh. The guide has both leopard and snow. u are looking for the file. D620SLv1.ISO
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=17… ↗

All you need to do to boot the Retail Snow leopard dvd is boot off the boot disk when u get the selections remove the disk and insert the retail dvd and press F5 until it refreashes and then select the dvd. and install.

Hope this helps. It won't get everything working. sound should work but not alot of other stuff. but the guide will have suggestions on how to get other drivers working.

Almost...

First, thanks for this installer. I have managed to get everything working on my Inspiron 1720 except the x3100 graphics. Been working on this for over a month. Am on 10.6.2 and after installing your pack, upon starting up, either in 64 or 32 the screen is blue than gets deeper in color (purplish) and thats as far as it goes. However, when I start in safe mode, i have full 1400x900 resolution and system profiler shows the kexts as loaded. Any idea why I can't boot in normal mode, 64 or 32? Used my own dsdt, maybe something in there is causing it? Kinda new to this, any help appreciated. Thanks.

Broken LCD...

Welcome back, slic!
Sorry to hear about the bad news of the broken LCD.

My install worked fine using the metod I've linked before. I've had no Mac at hand, only a DVD, some USB sticks, a WinXP box, and the laptop itself. Still, I've managed to put things together, install Snow, and update it to 10.6.2. Then I've made my laptop triple boot, intalling Ubuntu and Win7 as well. With a little knowledge and a lot of reading, it is perfectly possible.

My laptop now looks as my signature states:

D630 Snow Install 10.6.2

@rabidpilotAre you using a retail distro or another type for SL

I am using original SL 10.6 Retail DVD. Because not all of this pack was stable on my D630, I have made my own patched DSDT.aml and kext pack (assembled from several Snow Leopard D620/630/830 HOWTOs and proven sources - netkas.org, etc...). What is important - this installation can be upgraded via Apple Software Update to the latest version 10.6.2

I will post it here after another day or two of testing - just to be sure...

sobik D630 DSDT ?

Any news ? I'm very interested in your DSDT.aml
my DSDT patch (AGP section deleted )
- going into sleep seems ok, but after wake up it has a black screen (LCD)
- external monitor is ok basically
- switching between internal LCD and external monitor (Fn + F8, forth and back) --> scrambled screen

any help ist welcome

@slicUnfortunately, I bring bad news. I tested X methods to get working mirror screen mode on X3100 but neither did not work. (I tested also in 10.5.x)

Hi, I have x3100, too and my mirror screen working perfect. But I have used your DSDT.aml from your first dell pack, because with new dsdt.aml have problem with USB ports..

Usb

it seems that the problem only exists for me after:

• update to 10.6.2
• update of fakesmc to 2.5
• update to netkas' Sleepenabler.kext for 10.6.2

not sure which one causes the problem but it is a bit annoying.

Black screen on first boot after install

I'm trying to install onto a USB stick on my D630 with Intel X3100 graphics (1440x900 native resolution).

SL installed fine onto the USB stick but when I try to boot off of the stick it seems to be working just fine and then right when I think it would normally show the initial screen it just goes black. I've been scouring all of the Hackintosh related forums for hours and hours and can't find a solution.

Ideas anyone?

plug external monitor, start the laptop, press F8 at the darwin bootloader, switch to external monitor (fn-F8), use -v switch, when text mode finishes - switch back to internal screen.

@sad_nomadI have D630, running 10.6. how safe is to update the laptop to 10.6.2? any advice ? thanks!

I mentioned this data a few posts ago.
Basically, updating is safe, just make sure you delete the SleepEnabler.kext before rebooting or you won't be able to get it working again easily. Let me know if you are confused by my posts, it late here, so I'm kind of tired. I'll try and clear up the instructions if needed.

You may need to re-apply some kexts after update depending on your config.
I also decided to use an older version of the boot loader which fixed my usb and bluetooth from dropping out. I never made my own dst.aml file.. so this was a work around for me. To use the older version I just copied the boot file from the link below dl.drop box.com/u/2744542/boot onto my current drive..

Now I updated from 10.6.1 to 10.6.2, but I don't see any trouble if you go straight from 10.6.0 to 10.6.2 as long as you delete that SleepEnabler before reboot.

@blacklabelsktr2I tried the 10.6.2 Update through Apple Update. Deleted and replaced SleepEnabler.kext before rebooting. Seemed to update fine.

Well... I'm getting close but not quite there. I'm typing this now on my D630 under Snow Leopard but I'm in Safe Boot mode. If I don't do a safe boot I get this error:

ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::registerLPCDriver - WARNING - LPC device initialization failed: C-state power management not initialized

I suspect it has something to do with the DSDT file. I've tried using the DSDT Patcher but that didn't get rid of the error. I've also tried removing the DSDT file but get the same error.

Suggestions are welcome...

GMAX3100 loading but LCD is 'sheared'

I've got retail SL installed with SLICs patch set and I'm able to boot up into SL on a Dell D630 with a GMA965 Intel video card.

However only my external monitor is appearing in the proper resolution (and size). Actually my LCD is also 'noticed' properly and loading the GMAX3100 appropriately and it's registering at 1440x900 (I used SwitchResX pro to change the settings). The strange thing is that the LCD is 'showing' my 1440x900 desktop bigger than it should, only the right 1/3 of the desktop and it's appearing only on the left side of the LCD. A picture's worth a 1000 words. The first pic is of the 'sheared' LCD image. Second is the System profiler showing my GMAX3100 drivers are loaded properly and registering the proper resolution.

SwitchResX is registering both monitors properly and their appropriate resolutions.
The LCD is vendor: AUO-6AF, product: 1347
The Monitor is vendor: NEC-38A3, product: 43BC.

I've build a custom resolution in SwitchResX for the LCD using the following:

Pixel Clock: 96.3 Mhz non-interlaced
Active: H=1440, V=900
Front Porch: 64pixels, 3 lines
Sync Width: 32pixels, 3 lines
Back Porch: 224pixels, 6 lines
Blanking: 320 pixles, 12 lines
total: 1720 pixels, 912 lines
scan rate: 54.716 kHz, 59.966 Hz
image size: 303mm, 189mm

I've also tried the 'standard' 1440x900 resolution that OSX wants to use and it looks the same just with fewer vertical artifacts...it still registers too large a desktop scale and only on the left 1/2 of the LCD.

If I remove the GMAX3100 kexts I boot into a prop looking (but scaled) 1024x758 GPU-only desktop. From all the research I've done the GMA965 and Dell D630 combo is an OSX bummer but it appears it's not a driver issue, it's a monitor issue with the AU Optronics LCD used in the Dells. Any ideas how I can address this issue? Note that I have the same issue in Kalyway's 10.5.2, iPC 10.5.6, Retail Leopard and Retail Snow Leopard. That's why I don't think it's a GMAX3100 issue! Thanks.

Thanks for the Great Pack. I have the D830 T7800 Processor and NV 140 4GB ram with Dell 1505 Wireless and same 9205 audio.

Right now I want to stick with 10.5.8 and use Chameleon RC4 and a DSDT.aml that is closest to my system. Obvious it will be hard to find with my specific processor with Both C and P states.

Does anyone have a Good working DSDT.aml and how do I get this working with 10.5.8? I have already tried and got Vaniila 10.5.6 and combo update going with Chameleon RC4. Found a DSDT but it does not look like DSDT override is working? How can I tell?

I am getting SMC warnings and if I keep the CPUPM I get a Kernel Panic. I have fakeSMC going. PlatformUUID does not seem to work in 10.5.8 nor does the voodooHDA?

I think the problem with the Power management is that I don't have a good DSDT with all the fixes right?

First thanks to slic for such topic which makes installation 10.6 on D820 simply enough.

For those with sleep issues :
- k exts.com and download sleepenabler [if you use 10.6 or 10.6.1]
- copy to /E/E
- rebuilt Extensions.mkext
- reboot

Done

--
If you have d820 can you please attach smbios.plist to this topic

@sad_nomadI have D630, running 10.6. how safe is to update the laptop to 10.6.2? any advice ? thanks!

I have d630 too with 10.6.2.
Update yours system basicaly via software updater, but if you use sleepenabler.kext, you must remove them before update and download new sleepenabler.kext for 10.6.2.

Some question to you. Are you using DSDT.aml from Slic, if yes, have you any problem with USB ports?

The DSDT in this package is Great has all the fixes I asked about in my first post.

What is not working for me is:

AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext
PS2 keyboard not functioning
USB flash drive insertion error from sleep/wake << I thought there was a DSDT fix for this? I see the DTGP script for each USB device section? Could my USB ports address be different from the DSDT provided?

Here is my kernel log message about Power management? Is there a fix for this?

ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::start - waitForService(resourceMatching(AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement) timed out
Jan 16 13:19:03 my-MacBook kernel[0]: ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::registerLPCDriver - WARNING - LPC device initialization failed: C-state power management not initialized

Does this mean the DSDT is not have the complete script for this to work? I don't see any LPC script in the DSDT? Maybe I am overlooking it. Is this a C and P state issue?

Should I use VoodooPS2 and remove all the Mac Nub and PS2 kexts supplied in this package?

If I use the voodooPS2 what other kexts do I need to remove besides the ones in this package?

These?
com.apple.driver.ApplePS2Trackpad.plist in Preferences folder?
FFscroll Daemon.plist in LaunchDaemons folder?
ffscrolldaemon from the /usr/bin folder?

What is the purpose of the smbios.plst? I have the latest Chameleon. DO I need it still? Is there a PlatformUUID kext for the D830 or do I add the UUID in the smbios.plist?

I see some infomration about before I update to 10.6.2 what I need to do as far as sleepenabler but is there anything else I need to know?

Last question, why can't most of the kexts in this package go into the /volumes/efi/Extra/extensions instead of the /system/library/extensions?

My Laptop is Dell D830 4GB Ram 2.6GZ processor . 1505 BCM wireless
10.6.0 snow

EDITED a FEW MINUTES LATER:

I used the installer this time instead of trying to put in the kexts and plists files manually and now everything works except the ETHERNET kext is not loading correctly and the Disk Insertion from sleep/wake. PS2 now works.

Any clues on what I need to do to get Ethernet and Disk Insertion fixed?

DO I need the smbios.plist and what about the PlatformUUID.plist that is not included in the package? Where does the System UUID go?

EDITED AGAIN:

I should have read the guide more carefully I did not set my USB to wake in Powermanagemnt section of the Bios. The DIsk insertion error after sleep/wake is now resolved.

Removed the Ethernet Kext as it was messing with the trackpad.

Is there any driver available yet to get ethernet working? Will it happen? I guess I can purchase a USB to ethernet adapter.

I have a 2.6GHZ processor, how can I change this to show 2.6 instead of 2.0GHZ? SMBIOS.plist?

Is the DSDT.aml need any editing for my particular processor?

And I still have a question about the Extensions in the package installer. Can't those all go into the Volumes/EFI/Extra folder instead?

Quick Help. I extracted my DSDT using Ubuntu and a nifty command from this site to get me all the ACPI tables zipped.

The DSDT provided in this package looks pretty much the same as the one I extracted overall as far as definition block and CPU etc addresses. Only one concern is the CPUPM _CST section. Slight differences in address as you can see. Do I need to mod this?

I see some differences in addresses. Do I need to change these values or not?

Last issue. I had everything working Shutdown, Restart everything except the Ethernet and now shutdown is back to the way it is in all PC laptops, you have to hold down the power button and also the PC NUB Kext won't load all of a sudden. I used the new Kext utility for Snow could that have broken something? I was running the chmod, chown and touch commands manually and everything worked then. Maybe its something else that I cannot figure out?

works

I dont know what I've done differently from you guys. I have all current updates up to 10.6.2 (32bit) But this is what works for me:
USB
Keyboard & Mouse (trackpad) /both built in and usb
Sleep
Firewire
Bluetooth
Wifi with Airport (bought a supported card)
DVDs
Fully supported graphic acceleration
Time Machine
Gigabit Ethernet

What doesn't work so far:
Shutdown
Reboot

Haven't tested:
2nd Monitor
Docking Station

If you want me to upload any files or configs I have, let me know.

Hi, you must edit and add vendor ID of your dell wireless card to IO80211Family.kext.
Or, use this script:

Simply double click and run. Restart and post here, if it is working.

Hi everybody! I've been lurking on this thread for months now without actually commenting. First and foremost I want to thank everyone who contributed to this thread and thereby helping me get my D630 running OS X with little difficulty. My only issue is Sleep. It used to work flawlessly whether closing the lid or choosing sleep from the Apple Menu. But ever since 10.6.2 I can't get it to work properly. If I close the lid, it does nothing. Fans stay on, HDD still spins, and when I open the lid the desktop is still there. If I choose sleep from the menu, it tries to sleep. The screen goes black and the HDD spins down but the fans stay running. Then in about 10-15 seconds, the DVD drive and the HDD come back on and the screen lights up where it left off.

I've got the latest version of SleepEnabler.kext from kexts.com and compiled a DSDT using DSDT_Patcher1.0.1e from InsanelyMac. I'm no dummy, but I don't completely understand all the ins and outs of this OSX86 situation yet. I'm throroughly comfortable on both OS X and Windows, but it's just some of the inner workings stuff that confuses me. So all that being said, does anyone have any suggestions for me to get my D630 to sleep comfortably!?

Frustrated. I have a Dell D630 with Intel GMA965 video, I have tried various installers and cannot get 10.6 to boot to setup, I always get the 'you must shut down your computer' message. My ATA settings in the BIOS are set for AHCI, should they be set to ATA? What method have those of you use to boot with the 10.6 disc?

AM

try to boot leopard 10.6.2 Universal v3.6, but if you have intel integrated on Dell d630, you need to plug in external monitor. After installation and and patching with dell d630 x3100pack from Slic, you will have everything working with internal screen included, and the you don't need external monitor.

With new dsdt.aml and kext pack from slic I have working sound with legacystac9205 kext, but if I plug in external microphone, it doesn't work. Only internal microphone is working.. have somebody the same problem?

Problem with USB ports after installing DELL D620-630-830 NVIDIA.mpkg

I need help with an USB issue I have after installing the following package:

DELL D620-630-830 NVIDIA.mpkg

USB stopped working after I installed it

, I have some stuff on an USB HD and cannot do it until I fix it.

already enable USB at power Management and did not work

THis may be useful to you

I'm not sure about that. I created a boot disk from a image

just look for

Update: 10.6.0 Boot CD for Snow Leopard Retail Install here:
at the bottom of the first post. that image will allow you to boot off the retail dvd and do a native install. All works execpt for wireless ethernet and graphics for 3d stuff.. if u need ethernet drivers let me know and I will find where I found the driver to get it working or send u the correct kext file.

nvs135m

I was wondering if anyone knew of a kext that would work with retail 10.6.2 that would allow 3d graphic support and DVD Playback

I have tried the pack but it crashes my install and I have to reinstall

Slic, do you have a new version

Do you have a osx 10.6.2 updated version of your d63c/d630/d830 kext installer? When I use your installer to update all of the kexts on my install for a d630, I get a kernel panic about the kernel and cpu not being the same version. Or any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Sent you a pvt msg too...

Maybe you have some other kernel. You need original vanilla kernel from original Mac OSX Snow DVD, not from SnowOSXUniFlash1.0.

Has anyone tried using these kexts with the non-Mac boot method that r0m30 documented on insanelymac? I was able to create the HFSPlus partitions with all the necessary bits, created my own DSDT.aml (caveats to this, btw!), and com.apple.Boot.plist file(s). Zero luck so far.

I've tried everything with my d830, and even with an external monitor, I can't get past where it starts the GUI for the install. I've got the dreaded Intel GMA965 and even using an external monitor, it only coughs up purple/pink horizontal lines. I tried just about every GraphicsMode known, from 800x600x16 to 1920x1200x32 -- with various incarnations of the same result.

Someone please tell me I won't need another Mac to do this!

I'm confident that once I get booted into the install, I can make everything work, but this is just absurd!

Just as a note, when booting back into the parted magic USB key, I have to run fsck.hfsplus /dev/sda2 (the partition that I have my chameleon installed on) before mounting it to make changes.

@slicthe horizontal lines causes dsdt fix for intel gma. My external monitor working perfectly only without dsdt (im using sleep trick).

So you installed without DSDT.aml in your root partition or /Extra folder?

Also, what is this sleep trick?

Is this where you let it just 'sit' for 10 minutes or more, then wake it up?

After it's installed, is it possible to boot straight to the LCD panel without the need for an external monitor?

@stephensSo you installed without DSDT.aml in your root partition or /Extra folder? Also, what is this sleep trick? Is this where you let it just 'sit' for 10 minutes or more, then wake it up? After it's installed, is it possible to boot straight to the LCD panel without the need for an external monitor?

Ok, so I've tried a few more things, without success thus far, but some progress.

1. I edited my DSDT and recompiled, removing all the AGP sections, as well as the CRT, DVI and TV subsections from the VID device. I removed the AGP device completely, as well as its scope. While I was in there, I also yanked out all the nasty code from the TPM device, as I figure it's not necessary anyway.
2. I am using the X3100 and X3100FB modified kexts and removed the Apple supplied ones. I'm not sure if this is helping or hurting, but the results is the same.

Thus, now when I boot, using 1920x1200x32 (Yes, my LCD supports this resolution), it gets to the GUI part of the installer and it is a black blank screen, but it is at least back-lit.

I'm wondering if I can use the default Apple VESA drivers to install with and worry about the X3100 after installation -- is this possible?

Am i dumb

Am I that dumb? I cant find the download for the Pack!?
Could someone tell me where it is?

Question: With Monitor Dimming... do you mean the Ambient Light 'Sensor is working?

I'm a noob - need a little help

So, I have a dell D630 with the intel GMA965 - is that the X3100? It sounds to me like you installed this to an external drive on a Mac, then used the drive to boot the D630. You then installed to the D630?

Is there a step by step procedure somewhere?

FYI, I've installed SL on a D620. For most of these, I've used A preset up bootloader that I can install to my USB drive with SL retail install DVD imaged on it.

EDIT: Somehow I got this up and running. Stable and fast.

EDIT #2 - OK, I finally bit the bullet and installed VoodooHDA and Fakesmc (new version) in the /E/E folder. Pretty stable right now. two problems: Jumpy trackpad and no sound input.

FYI - I'm running Crossover for the few Windows apps I need. Kinda weird - Office 2007 (for XML parsing)->WinXP->Crossover->Snow Leopard->on a Dell. Plays with the mind a little.

USB is still a problem

I first want to say great stuff here. By far the most centralized resource for getting my d630 up and running on SL.

I have read through every post so far and found solutions to all my problems. The one issue that seems outstanding is USB ports working. I have found that my USB ports seem to be somewhat randomly working.

Most of the time the two ports in the back work. Occasionally it will change and one in the back will work and only one on the side will work. It's a big deal because I use external keyboard and mouse as well as an external HD.

My main question here is: Which specific kext file is responsible for USB ports? I haven't seen solid documentation of this anywhere. I would love to know which kext file i should be trying different versions of to resolve this issue.

Thanks for any help.

Just an update on my d830 (Bios A15) with the Intel x3100 and a 1920x1200 screen. This is running a Snow Leopard 10.6.2 Vanilla kernel and Chameleon 2.0 RC4.

I've got almost everything working, some without kexts even. This is possibly one of the nicest laptops to use with Snow Leopard

• Sleep, by power button or clamshell close, works -- natively, no kext. When you open the display, it wakes perfectly.
• Restart and Halt work exactly as they should -- using OpenHaltRestart.kext, but will test without
• P and C states work when on battery, battery life goes to 3.5 hours immediately and openssl speed tests confirm a seriously degraded performance, ha! No NullCPUPowerManagement.kext required.
• Audio works using the legacy9205.kext, including headphone out, line in, built-in Mic
• PS2 keyboard/trackpad/trackpoint all work beautifully using the ApplePS2Controller.kext and AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext (must reside in /S/L/E)
• Display dimming works not only with the Fn keys, but also with the slider under Display Properties
• Battery display works using AppleACPIBatteryManager.kext
• gigabit ethernet works, including WOL using AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext
• Bluetooth works natively
• Volume up/down/mute work natively, as does the power button for sleep
• I flashed a Dell 1390 (BCM4311) and also a BCM4328 with Apple Device IDs so now it recognizes either as an Airport Extreme.

I'm still having issues with the rear CRT port.. if I press Fn-F8 to switch from the internal LCD to mirror to CRT, it scrambles the video and I can't fix it. Perhaps setting up a hot corner for 'sleep' would do the trick, but I think a simple display re-init in the DSDT if I can find what function governs that flip back and forth would also do the trick. Feel free to contribute here...

The only other thing I can think of is migrating everything to 64 bit, but that shouldn't be hard. The only device drivers I'm using are the Broadcom ethernet, PS2 keyboard/mouse and legacySTAC9205. The rest should be fine, but I'll test soon enough anyway.

So, how to do all this?

SERIOUS DSDT modifications. I'm going to attach my current DSDT for others to use, but do NOT take it thinking that it will 'just work' on your laptop. You'll need to have a Latitude D830 with Bios Revision A15, x3100 (965 chipset) video, and a 1920x1200 panel.. otherwise, I can't guarantee *anything*.

P.S. When I say SERIOUSLY modified, I'm not joking. I have added and removed devices, hacked up IRQs, put in different OSID checks, changed device names, timers, and even IDs. Do not take this as a panacea for all your laptop compatibility woes, but do take it as proof that you can get very close to native operative performance with just about any laptop if you are persistent enough and willing to read ACPI specs. No really, go get the document to read about what you don't understand BEFORE asking questions.

P.P.S. I also am using a custom /boot file. I'll include that as well. PC-EFI 10.6 does NOT initialize the x3100 correctly!

Just a quick update -- on those C & P-states, unless you're using a T7300, those may (probably) not work for you. You'll need the FID/VID values for your specific processor, and then recompile the dsdt accordingly.

Best of luck.

Flashed Appel IDs

• I flashed a Dell 1390 (BCM4311) and also a BCM4328 with Apple Device IDs so now it recognizes either as an Airport Extreme.

Sounds very interesting: How did you 'flash' the IDs ?

I've tried everything I can think of and can't get sleep to work. My D630 is a [email protected], Intel GMA 965 (X3100). I'm loath to mess with the DSDT file, as I know I'll mess it up. Everything else works, P-States, QE/CE, OpenGL, wireless and wired.

I've gone a much different route, using Voodoo Kexts for power mgmt and sound. I get really confused when I check IORegistry. It looks like most of the extensions say Apple this or that.

I also have and entry in the DSDT that is Device (VID). There is no AGP device, etc In IOReg with a video drive. I have VID2@2,1 and a VID@2. I've read in a couple of posts that problems with video drivers can prevent sleep.

Hi, anyone get this Dell D630 X3100 work with external monitor (mirror screen) using DDST? Thanks

Dell D630

Ok, So I have used Chameleon RC/Retail 10.6 (genuine) install on a Dell D630 with Nvidia video, Broadcom 5755 wired ethernet, Intel 2.0 ghz and intel wifi (Broadcom wifi on the way :)) Anyways, I did a fresh install and installed the kext pack. No dice. Video is good, but no:

1. Ethernet not detected
2. Sleep/Shutdown/Restart not working
3. If I do the Natit install, SSR work, but then I lose video resolution again

HAS ANYONE GOT A D630 LIKE MINE FULLY WORKING?

Sorry for the caps and such, but I have spent days on forums and hacking this thing. I just can get ethernet working. HELP!

Thanks and thanks for everyone's dedication!

Just a quick update, the 10.6.3 update has broken the audio on my d830 using legacySTAC9205.kext. I'm looking for a workaround, removing AppleHDA.kext doesn't seem to do anything, and of course there's no way to get any real debugging output to know why it's not loading. *sigh*

Mac OSX Snow Leopard Universal 3.6

i have finally managed to install SL to my d630c (nvs135) with the snow leopard universal 3.6 distro. But when i tried to install your pack i have a kernel panic. Symptoms:
installer says it finishes less than a minute and suddenly kernel panic happen.
rebooted and kernel panic still there with sleepenabler.kext.
i think it's a problem with sleepenabler.kext. The distro is 10.6.2.
is there a solution?

Thanks but i don't have a real mac with sl and my problem is about the sleepenabler.kext. I've installed well just the drivers doesn't work for me
EDIT: i found a sleepenabler.kext for 10.6.2 at your link.. i will try and i keep you informed as soon as possible

To get audio working again please download, install the following kext, repair permission and reboot:

Dell Latitude D630 with Video Card Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family

I get black screen. Just can't install. I wish somebody would write the kexts for my Video Card. QE/CI would be just fantastic.

I attached some files that might be useful.

Props to Mialemat for the PDF guide. Does not work for my video card:'( but works for others.
I had to compress the PDF so the links inside won't work, you have to type them or use Google.
I also attached a PDF with My Dell D630 Specs in case somebody is willing to help me to find a solution.

Cheers everybody ! ^_^

Thanks for all your support.. finally i've managed to get sound working.
deleted all hda kexts (hdefe hda enablers applehda) and installed voodoohda only.
next i try to get graphics work with restart/shutdown

My friend sells Dell D830 ( Core 2 Duo T9300 2x2.5Ghz 800Mhz FSB, 2Gb RAM 667 Mhz, Quadro 140M 512MB)
Can i install Snow Leopard 10.6 on this laptop, and I'm a editor, i usually use Final cut pro so i want to ouput external monitor. Graphic card Quadro 140M 512MB can do that?
I need it for my job, so can i buy it?

Sorry for my bad english!
Thanks a lot!

Yesterday I installed MacOs following partially mialemat guide and in the end I installed 10.6.3 update and lost sound, usb support, bluetooth...
Finally, I decided to install again, and I installed the 10.6.2 combo update. The system works perfectly now. Not without troubles, as after the 10.6.2 update I had a kernel panic that didn't let me boot my system...
I want to comment the way I used to install. I think it could be interesting for those that do not have access to a real Mac like me.
What I did was install SL on a Physical hard disk using VMWare. After the install, I followed the mialemat manual, and ended with a fully functional SL.
If someone is interested in more details about how to install SL in a physical disk with Vmware, please ask. If wou google it, there is a guide to install in Vmware, the basics are the same, changing the virtual disk with a physical one.
What I was unable to do was a dual boot with Windows 7 and SL. I ended using 2 hard drives. One for Windows, one for SL. I have installed Windows and SL about 10 times in the last 2 days... And it was enough for me... The next thing I want to do is create a ghost of SL and try to update to 10.6.3 (when someone publishes a guide, as I am a newbie...)
And I also would like to learn how chameleon works, as I think that was my problem trying to dual boot Windows 7 and SL... If someone has any url for me to learn about it...
Thankyou for all your help. Without your work I would have never installed SL...

Yes, you can. External monitors work at up to 1900x1200. The only thing stock that doens't work with that machine is the wireless card. I;d suggest getting a Dell 1390 card which is a drop-in replacement for the existing card:

$9.95 US + free shpping.

I'm running 10.6.2 and Windows 7 side by side, NVS140M works fully including live resolution change through display preferences with chameleon RC4 using GraphicsEnabler.

Parallels 5 works, run Win7 in both Coherence mode and natively boot through chameleon. Everything else works. It's an amazing MAC laptop.

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?

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

@cnonewhen 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 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: mega upload.com/?d=E3O897IL

Your problem could be solved following instruction on page 9.

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...

I'm having some trouble getting everything to work. I've got pretty much everything set up using the installer and seperate packages/kexts. Only thing (apart from wireless) i'm missing now is my USB ports. I've tried everything i could think of (of course the bios settings mentioned on the first page). I've tried some dsdt editing, but I didn't succeed at that. I tried all bios settings, USBfix in boot.plist etc, but can't get any further. The power is there now, if a device is connected to the USB port, it lights up, but it doesn't work yet.
Does anyone have any clue as to what i should do now?

Greets and thanks in advantage,

Crash after package install

I had a working 10.6.2 setup. The only thing that was not working was the sleep and clamshell, which I have been working on for a few weeks. I installed the package and it seemed to install correctly then requested a reboot. After the reboot I get a kernel panic that states.

"Version mis-match between Kernel and CPU pm"@/SourceCache/xnu-1486.2.11/osfmk/i386/pmCPU.c:681"

I can reinstall using time machine, but would really love to get sleep and clamshell working. Is there any way to repair this without doing a reinstall at this point?

Dell D620
OSX 10.6.2
NVIDIA

Thank you all for such a great forum, and thanks to SLIC for all the work!

[edit]
I relaoded using my time machine backup, so I'm back running with 10.6.2 and using boot-132 and retail.
QUESTION: Is it possible to just get the dsdt.aml out of the package in this thread and load it instead of everything? I can get the display to sleep and then close the clamshell and this will allow me to re-open the clamshell and resume my session, however it does not put the computer to sleep. This means that the laptop is still running and draining the battery as if the lid was open. Plus it gets so hot in my bag that I use it as a spare hotplate! Any suggestions would be most welcome!

@itry2hideAnyone know how to get P-states and C-states working? I have a D630, X3100, [email protected].

Hi, I have D630 and Snow Leo 10.6.3, my P-states works perfect with minipower.kext for snow leopard from Superhai. Try it, too.
C-states may work with slic pack for Dell D630/D830, but not for me, because with this new pack I have problem with USB ports... so now, I am using old kext pack from slic and sleep is not working.

Dell Latitude D630 pack for Snow 10.6.3

Hello, here is pack with extensions, DSDT.aml and utilites for correct working Snow Leopard 10.6.3. I made this pack, because, new pack from SLic is not working correctly for me, I have problem with USB ports.
Now my usb ports working perfect, trackPad and touchPad working, sound working too, input+output, sleep working perfect.

OK, so. There is some instructions, how to with files in pack:
1: put the DSDT.aml file to /Extra/ folder
2: put the com.apple.Boot.plist file to /Extra/ folder, too
3: all kexts in Extensions folder move or copy to /System/Library/Extension/
- use it with small application "KextUtility" included - select all kexts and drag to kextutily icon
4: double click to voodooHDA.prefPane (ignore all error...)
5: "VoodooMonitor" application move to /Applications/
6: open folder "VoodooHDAhelper" and open file "how-to-readme!.txt" and read instructions how to use voodooHDAhelper (this part is not necessary):-)

Thanks for keeping this project going. Many thanks for sharing your work. Would this DSDT.aml and kexts work on a D830 2.4GHZ Nvidia Graphics card probably the same card as the D630? If not what do I need to replace? DSDT? If so do you know where I can grab a DSDT for the D830 to work with all the Kexts from your package and Snow 10.6.3?

I know there are other Threads on other newsgroups with guides etc but not sure which one to go with if you know hat I mean?

Thanks again!

EDITED A COUPEL HOURS LATER:

I just relaized its actually the 2.6 GHZ T9500 Processor.

SHould I extract my DSDT using the Ubuntu Live 9.04 and change the Script in the CPU sections and the Ram Memory sections? Anywhere else that might need to be changed?

Anyone have a DSDT for the same Laptop configuration?

Nvidia 140M
T7800 (2.6GHZ)
4GB Ram

I have a Dell wireless that is competlety compatible with Snow kexts but do I need to add any script to the DSDT for that?

Same with the Audio I think its an 9205 Sigmatel is that the same as in the D630?

@mialematDoes it works with the latest update 10.6.4? for your kind reply.

Yes it does but you'll need to remove your SleepEnabler.kext file from either the Extra folder or your Extensions folder or you'll Kernel Panic at boot. If you can't delete the file prior to booting then you'll need to boot from CD or USB and log in via terminal and delete using the command line.

@monkieYes it does but you'll need to remove your SleepEnabler.kext file from either the Extra folder or your Extensions folder or you'll Kernel Panic at boot. If you can't delete the file prior to booting then you'll need to boot from CD or USB and log in via terminal and delete using the command line.

Thank you very much for your answer.
For the instance you don't need to delete Sleep Enabler.
Try to change it with the following Sleep Enabler kext and all goes well. If a new update will prompt you a Sleep Enabler kernel panic reboot with the following flags:

-v pmVersion=xx

where xx is the actual version. For 10.6.3 xx = 20, for 10.6.4 = 21 and so on.

code.goo gle.com/p/xnu-sleep-enabler/downloads/list

I'm going to test the package.
Have fun.

howoarang, I posted a reply just up two posts on the package for the D830 T9500 Processor. I also have the Dell XPS M1530 and interestingly Brett non specific CPU DSDT for the M1330/M1530 seems to be fully working on the D830 except for sleep. I get a kernel panic when the D830 goes to sleep or manually put it to sleep. Brett's shutdown/restart fix works flawlessly on the D830 as well.

I know the DSDT by Brett was generated from the M1530 but what would I need to mod to make the USB work. Better yet what would i need to do to your DSDT for the D630 to make it near 100% for the D830 and add those features that allow the shutdown/restart fix.

Does your DSDT have at least all the fixes they mention in the link I provided below?

Will I need to mod the script for the USB and Ethernet?

Hi, I have dell d630 with intel gma graphic card, so my dsdt.aml is for intel based laptop dell d630/830, but there are two kind of dell d630/d830 laptop. 1) with intel graphic card x3100 and 2) with nvidia graphic card.
If you have dell d830 with nvidia card, try to nvidia kext pack from Slic. Look at first page of this topic.

And sigmatel audio work with voodooHDA.kext for snow leopard.
Dell wireless may work natively, you don not need edit dsdt.aml for correct working your wireless card.

@stephensJust an update on my d830 (Bios A15) with the Intel x3100 and a 1920x1200 screen. This is running a Snow Leopard 10.6.2 Vanilla kernel and Chameleon 2.0 RC4. I've got almost everything working, some without kexts even. This is possibly one of the nicest laptops to use with Snow Leopard • Sleep, by power button or clamshell close,…

stephens,

I have the exact D830 except mine is a T9500 (2.6GHZ) and NVS Quadro 140M.

Shockingly I have a 100% working clone except for sleep and Ethernet. Only using fakesmc, appleACPIPS2 and Nub, smbios.plist, voodooHDA and nothing else. Speedstep is working but no C state.

I am using a M1330 Non CPU DSDT from this thread and yes surprisingly it works. I have read the graphics card 8400M in the XPS M1330 is the same as the NVS Quadro 140M which I believe is the 7300GT is I am not mistaken.

shutdown and restart is flawless. I am looking over your DSDT to see if I can somehow figure out what I need to do to modify my DSDT to get both the Ethernet and Sleep to work.

But I'm running into problems where the internal display only covers half the screen. This makes it a little un-usable.

I've tried using SwitchResX, but that didn't seem to help. Has anyone else had this problem and figured out how to resolve it?

EDiT: OK, I figured out how to use SwitchResX, this lets me set resolutions and I can mess the screen up further, but I cannot get it to cover the full screen properly? Can I get information from how windows has it setup? Does anyone have the numbers for all the custom monitor settings?

Installing Snow Leopard 10.6.3 on Dell D630

So I have a bought copy of Snow Leopard 10.6.3 on DVD. I have a Dell D630 with the following config:

CPU: Intel Dual Core Processor, T8300, 2.4, 3MB,
HD: WD-MX160 160GB
Optical Media: Toshiba Samsung 8x DVD +-RW
Dell Minicard Network 3945ULD
2 1GB PC667 RAM

I guess I have to assume an integrated GPU.

Is it possible for me given my CPU and config to install SL 10.6.3? Where would be a good place to start?

Keep in mind my DVD is already at version 10.6.3.

Hi, move files to /Extra/

I have a D620 and have installed Snow Leopard and updated to 10.6.4. I installed all kexts and when booting, I get stuck at IOAPIC.

Did a little research and it seems to be caused by the inability to turn on AHCI mode in the D620.

Is there any work around?

I was able to get OSX 10.6.4 working on my Dell 630 using a couple diff tools/methods andWITHOUT a Mac.
This isnt a detailed Guide just a brief summary of how i got it to work, for those who already know a little about the process.

I used the retail OSX 10.6.3 dvd, an External Monitor, iBoot Supported (tonym acx86.com/Public/iBoot-Supported.zip), Multibeast (tonym acx86.com/Public/MultiBeast.zip), howoarang's dell 630 pack (media fire.com/download.php?jgy12jmwuyt), and the Mac OS X 10.6.4 Combo Update (support.apple.com/downloads/DL1048/en_US/MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.4.dmg).
(you will have no Internet access initially so you'll have to transfer the last 3 of these packs to your Dell via USB Flash.)

1. Burn iBoot Supported, to ISO and use it to boot from your cd drive.

(some steps courtesy of the tonymacx86 blog ↗)
2. At Chameleon prompt, eject iBoot CD, Insert your Mac OS X Snow Leopard Retail DVD and press F5.
3. Connect your laptop to your External Display, and Press "Fn" and "F8". (moves display to external monitor)
4. When you see the Mac OS X Snow Leopard Retail DVD Highlighted, press Enter to begin the boot process. (give Cd time to load)
(at some point the display will jump back to you LCD screen, dont ask me why i think its just an issue with DELLs and iBoot)
5. Format with Disk Utility, and Install OSX 10.6.3, ignore "Install Failed: Mac OS X Cannot Be Installed on this Volume" error at the end.
6. Restart, Boot from iBoot CD, Press "Fn" and "F8" again, and select which ever HardDrive you installed OSX to and press Enter.

7. View the Mac OS X Snow Leopard Welcome Video, and set up your computer.
(if your trackpad isnt working give it 5mins, if not you need an external keyboard/mouse. Setup your keyboard if it isn't recognized)
8. Download the Mac OS X 10.6.4 Combo Update (support.apple.com/downloads/DL1048/en_US/MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.4.dmg), Multibeast (tonym acx86.com/Public/MultiBeast.zip), howoarang's dell 630 pack (media fire.com/download.php?jgy12jmwuyt), transfer to ur Dell via Flash Drive.
9. Mount and Install the Mac OS X 10.6.4 Combo Update. DO NOT REBOOT! (if you reboot repeat step 6, but no guarantees)

(Some steps courtesy of howoarang's post)
10. Unpack howoarang's dell 630 pack, put the DSDT.aml file on your Desktop.
11. Unpack and Run the MultiBeast app (if it crashes, delete the unpacked folder, and unpack it again).
12. Select UserDSDT, System Utilities and Install. (am sure you can install Chameleon 2.0 RC4 directly without this step)
(this installs Chameleon 2.0 RC4 + PC-EFI 10.5 by default but with the tonymac theme)
13. Select all kexts in Extensions folder of howoarang's pack and Drag to kextutily icon. It should install them automatically.
(don't copy kexts to /System/Library/Extension/ you'll end up with system errors before you can use the kextutily)

14. Edit your com.apple.boot.plist. Add "<string>pmVersion=20</string>" under your kernel flags entry "<key>Kernel Flags</key>". If there is already a kernal flag string under "<key>Kernel Flags</key>", modify it. For example change "<string>arch=i386</string>" to "<string>arch=i386 pmVersion=20</string>"

15. Eject all USBs drives, CDs, DVDs etc, cross your fingers and Reboot.

Am sure some of these steps can be streamlined, changed, skipped. But after see 50+ kernel panics and reimaging 15+ times with various guides. I just happy to have a working system for now. (no wifi though)

My specs...

CPU: Intel C2D T7500 @ 2,2GHz / 800MHz / 4MB
VGA: Intel 965 Express Chipset Family
Sound: Sigmatel Audio 9205
LAN Broadcom Ethernet 5751
HDD: WDC 160GB SATA-II (AHCI)
Screen: 14,1" 1280x800@60Hz

@NIpsmGYes, you can. External monitors work at up to 1900x1200. The only thing stock that doens't work with that machine is the wireless card. I;d suggest getting a Dell 1390 card which is a drop-in replacement for the existing card: cgi.eb…

Replacing my original WiFi Card with a DELL 1390 Card did the trick to get the wireless working on my Latitude D830! Thanks a lot NIpsmG!

The only issue was that the original WiFi Card was connected to three internal antenna's (via white, grey and black wires), while the DELL 1390 Card only has two connector. So I only connected two of the three antenna's/wires (white and black) and I seem to have excellent connectivity. Does anybody know which combination is actually the best (white + black, white + grey or grey + black)?

The only remaining issue with my mobo is the unability to properly shut down or restart. I can get it to log out and shut down the complete Mac OS, but the machine itself does not switch off so I have to switch it off manually by pressing the on/off button for 5 seconds or so. Does anyone have a solution for this one?

Greetz,

Bruno

Fsb

I have everything working great on my D630 but I have one issue I can't figure out. My FSB is set to 181 even thought in my smbios.plist file I have SMexternalclock set to 200. I've also tried to force the FSB to 200 at the command line before the computer boots but I've been unsuccessful. Can anyone point me in the right direction.

I want to thank you for your great Job.

My Dell:
D830
NividiaQuadroNVS140m
Ethernet-Broadcom
Intel Wireless 3945 ABG
Audio Intel 82801

Your guide for the installation is really good.
Everthing works fine.

My problem was, that my extern monitor don't accept the resolution of my Dell, and at the installation, the Nvidia Card didn't work.
Because of that i had to made a install with bootoption "-x" before installationprocess start (step 4).
After the installation i installed a linux distribution (mint) and made a partition with hfs.
Now i downloaded the 10.6.4 Combo Update and Multibeast and save it on the hfs partition.
After that, i made a reeboot with iboot cd and option "-x" again and installed the way you have described (step 9).

Thanks for your great job!

Hi. I am going to try to install OSX on my Dell D630. Never tried this before. I am currently downloading iATKOS_v7 from tpb. My D630 has a C2D T7250, GM965 chipset, Broadcom wifi, and Mobile Intel 965 graphics. I have the A17 BIOS installed. The only changes I made were SATA to AHCI.

Is there anything else I will need? Do I just boot to the iATKOS dvd? I also have Boot 132 burned to a cd. Will I need that? Thanks guys.

Do I just boot…

Download finished. Checked the MD5 Checksum and it looked good. Booted iATKOS_v7 to my D630, hit F8 and used -v and the screen froze here...

So then I rebooted and tried -v cpus=1 and the screen froze here...

Any ideas on what I should try next? Thanks.

Well, I gave up on iATKOS_v7. I downloaded iATKOS S3 v2 and it seems to be working better. I can now get to the install screen and I start the install but it crashes and asks me to reboot. Any ideas?

I would advise you to use the Empire-EFI method: boot with the Empire-EFI CD-ROM and install from original Mac OSX 10.6 DVD. Then, for optimal graphics support (see earlier post), install Chameleon 2.0 RC4. Finally, install the DELL kext pack as prepared and made available in this thread and you should be up and running!

Good luck!

Just upgraded to Mac OSX 10.6.4 without any problem! All hardware functions are fully operational (including the WiFi <= see earlier post). Only remaining problem is still Shut down / Restart...

Thanks Adrenaline1965. I'll give that a try and report back. I have an OSX 10.6.3 disk. Will that work with Empire EFI?

I lose audio when I go to 10.6.4. I am currently running 10.6.2, RC4, and the original dell kext pack, plus most current sleep enabler. Any ideas?

d630 sleep

I did a fresh install using the empire legacy boot disk, then installed 10.6.0 from a retail disk, upgraded to 10.6.4, installed chameleon and user dsdt via multibeast. (using the dsdt.aml and installing the kexts from howorang's pack.) Everything works except sleep. I've never been able to get sleep to work on any version of os x on my d630. I must have installed it a zillion times. I have i5 and i7 gigabyte desktop machines that work flawlessly---I used the IBOOT Supported disk and it's pretty automagic. I noticed that with an extra terminal attached to the d630 the lcd goes blank but the other monitor stays on when you close the clamshell of the laptop. Does anybody have x3100 graphics on a d630 and sleep works? It's a dealbreaker for me.

@itry2hideI lose audio when I go to 10.6.4. I am currently running 10.6.2, RC4, and the original dell kext pack, plus most current sleep enabler. Any ideas?

For audio I'm currently using VoodooHDA.kext. Works fine for me (previously tried patched AppleHDA.kext and legacySTAC9205.kext but these did not give me any satisfaction)

Dell d630

EDIT

I have a Dell D630, Intel GMA 965, i have everything working except I can't mirror my display on my external lcd. anyone get this to work?

Bump

@jtillwickI have a D620 and have installed Snow Leopard and updated to 10.6.4. I installed all kexts and when booting, I get stuck at IOAPIC. Did a little research and it seems to be caused by the inability to turn on AHCI mode in the D620. Is there any work around?

After my attempts I am stuck at the same place. I have tried playing with the BIOS but still get stuck at IOAPIC...can someone please help us?

Select 32bit RTC - afterwards it works as expected!

Why doesn't touchpad scrolling work?

I have a D630 model PP18L with an X3100, I have everything working great except touchpad scrolling. Adding the AppleACPIPS2Nub and ApplePS2Controller from this kext pack as well as the ffscroll daemon just causes my trackpad to go nuts. It will sometimes scroll with just one finger, sometimes it wont respond at all! How can I get my trackpad to work properly with scrolling?

Also, is there a way to enable the trackpad prefpane with this trackpad? I also want to disable tapping, how would I do that?

I have a D630 with an X3100 and an Alps trackpad. I have looked everywhere and tried dozens of guides to get touchpad scrolling to work and it just doesn't. With ffscroll, my touchpad is all over the place. It will scroll with one finger in the middle of the touch area, sometimes it doesn't respond at all, sometimes it is overly sensitive, so that doesn't seem like a good solution. I don't know what to do with VoodooPS2Trackpad.kext. Doesn't seem to work at all in 32 bit and no matter what I try with it, I can't get scrolling to work.

I'm pulling my hair out over here, someone please help!

And WTF is with ± on the tilde key with VoodooPS2Controller.kext?!

AHHHHH!

guys, just pay the USD/EUR 69 for the magic trackpad - works like charme

@frenchbeastI have a D630 with an NVidia graphic card When i install SL the first time, shutdown, restart and sleep work After i apply the driver pack, sleep, restart and shutdown won't trigger the hardware to stop I just have a blank (black) screen :'( I have to push the power button few seconds to shutdown the system completely I was wondering…

Would be great if we could get a solution to this. I am pulling my hair out over this issue. The system works great, even have sleep working, but shutdown and restart don't work, just get a black screen.

Could certainly use some help here. I'm not a noob, been doing the Hackintosh think for about 4 years I'd say. I was running 10.6.2 on a D630 with X3100 but had a hardware issue and am having to start from scratch. I did a vanilla install... booted into safe mode, installed the 10.6.4 combo update... then ran the X3100 installer referenced on the first post of the thread. Upon booting, my screen would just go all white (not the black screen issue obviously). I was able to do a safe boot and then I removed all of the GMAX kexts. That gets rid of the white screen issue but only does 1024x768 without CI/QE. I don't have sound either

HELP anyone? Would be greatly appreciated.

I got a full working Snow Leopard 10.6.4 on my Dell D630 with GMA950 embedded graphic card.
I still can't fix my cdrom drive.
It works but it is not recognized from the eject button on the menu bar.
Can someone fixed this "bug"?
for your kind reply.

DELL 1390 WiFi module

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, even the volume up/down and mute buttons are fully operational!)
• 1920x1080x32 on external and 1680x1050x32 on the internal display. Both mirrored as extended desktop work flawlessly. Only the VGA port works (HDMI does not)
• WiFi

Not working (yet):

• Shut Down / Restart

@howoarangHello, here is pack with extensions, DSDT.aml and utilites for correct working Snow Leopard 10.6.3. I made this pack, because, new pack from SLic is not working correctly for me, I have problem with USB ports. Now my usb ports working perfect, trackPad and touchPad working, sound working too, input+output, sleep working perfect. OK,…

where I can find this /Extra/ folder? I have not a folder with this name on my system

Have you guys seen that there is a dedicated site for Latitude people running osx and the D4x0 maintain a package for those laptops ?

osxla titude.com

I did this on my D620 but I get hung on boot... All I really want is to get the microphone (internal or external) to work... everything else is fine. Any ideas? Can I use just part of this pack?

Issue resolved on the D620

I've only done the audio piece:

1) Moved VoodooHDA.kext, VoodooMonitor.kext and VoodooPowerMini.kext into the "Kext Utility" app icon provided in the package. Entered my password et voila... the kext's were installed properly.

2) Double clicked VoodooHDA.prefPane in order to get it installed
3) Opened System Preferences and launched the VoodooHDA icon and set the volumes up for the "Recording Level" at about 50%.
4) Went back to "show all" in system preferences and opened the SOUND icon
5) Clicked the input tab and saw there was audio coming from the internal mic!

6) Opened the VoodooHdaHelper folder provided in the pack and followed the instructions
7) Also moved the VoodooMonitor icon app into the /Applications folder

At this point I can safely say the internal mic works fine. I've also ran a test call on Skype and it sounds great.
I will later reboot the machine to see if the input audio settings "stick" the same or will have to modify every time I login. Hope it sticks tho.

I want to THANK YOU Howorang. I went thru ~20 installs with different boot loaders, different kext packages for the D630 (X3100 video) and most of them gave me kernel panic attacks. What worked for me was using Empire EFI_1085_row.iso as a bootloader. Then I installed 10.6.3 vanilla. After installation, I used your instructions (along with your kext package) above and now everything works on my Dell D630 with gma3100 video. Thank you !

D630 with PCMCIA, PCCARD.

did your PCMCIA slot worked in your Dell Latitude?
If yes how did you enable that on your mac.

Thank you for the above recommendation ! Been trying for almost a week to fix my 10810 error. Came upon this and tried it and it WORKED ! THANK YOU !

Slic

I tried running both of the slics package, the one or NVDIA and Intel and somehow it always makes my system shut down and reboot. I know its not supposed to reboot, and I am supposed to run the Kext Utility after I run the Slic Package but it somehow always reboots. You have any suggestions?

Dell D620 NVIDIA Graphics Card only at 64mb

I have a dell latitude d620 with nvidia graphics quadro 110m. When I first installed Snow leopard via the leppy methodI then checked the "About This Mac" info and it showed a working cpu @ 1.93ghz with both cores working and it showed a graphics card nvidia quadro nvs 110m showing 128mb VRAM even though the laptop box says 256mb.
I then used post install command, However, I then updated to 10.6.6 and the airport/dell broadcom card stopped working.
I was advised to use the edptool 1.6, which I did.
However after all this I checked back at the "About This Mac" System Profiler, and the cpu changed to 1.83ghz with 2 cores and the total VRAM changed to 64mb.
I don't care so much about the cpu but how do i get back to 128mb VRAM
People have told me it's fine and runs games but its not a game I want to install. It's video software

@Drago4. When you see the Mac OS X Snow Leopard Retail DVD Highlighted, press Enter to begin the boot process. (give Cd time to load) (at some point the display will jump back to you LCD screen, dont ask me why i think its just an issue with DELLs and iBoot) 5. Format with Disk Utility, and Install OSX 10.6.3, ignore "Install Failed: Mac OS…

So I manage to get all the way up to step 5 but when it switches back to my lcd on the d630, it have these colorful lines that kind of looks like the screen is crack (which is not). My video controller is the intel crestline graphics and it's version is 1588. Is there any hope? Has anyone else experience this?

D620 Help

I know I am a bit late to the party so to speak, I recently got my hands on a Dell Latitude D6200 and have been trying to get it working as a Hackintosh, CPU-Z gives the following specs: Core Duo [email protected], Instructions MMMX and SSE (1,2,3) Vt-X, 1GB Ram (4300) and Nvidia Quadro NVS 1011M Graphics.

As of right now I am only able to install iATKOS 4.1, when I attempt to install the kext packs things get a little quirky, after installing the NVIDIA kext pack I can see the I hack boot loader installed, but the boot stalls, I will continue to see if I can find a solution, but any help and or guidance would be greatly appreciated. I have seen videos on youtube to get to snow Leopard, but I cannot make heads or tails of how they got it working as when attempted the system hangs after install.
