I got the X2300 HD working at native resolution with QE/CI on a Gateway C-142XL on 10.6.5 with device ID 0x7211 with the following steps: - Replaced 0x72101002 with 0x72111002 in ATIRadeonX1000.kext's Info.plist. - Used 0xED to find and replace all instances of 1072 with 1172 in the Contents/MacOS/ATIRadeonX1000 binary(?). (And yeah, the fact that the first two and last two digits are flipped confused me at first.) It replaced four occurrences. This fixed QE/CI, but the resolution was wrong, and I couldn't set it. Before this, I was just using RadeonHD.kext which got the correct resolution, but no QE/CI. I decided to try combining that with the newly modified ATIRadeonX1000.kext, and lo and behold, QE/CI at native resolution. The resolution is switchable via the prefpane, too. I've attached the modified ATIRadeonX1000.kext and the RadeonHD.kext that I use. The RadeonHD.kext ought to work for any device id, if you modify your own ATIRadeonX1000.kext properly.

Interesting, I'll have to try that.

I used retail with myHack, I think. This was a while ago... I haven't done anything with it since since nobody can shed any light on the sleep + usb issue. After installing, I just installed Chameleon and started using that (with the provided kexts linked in my first post...), and nothing else (no myHack installer or [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]). Also, bsd43, I'm pretty sure I had HPET off. I will have to look though. EDIT: Yup. Here are the relevant sections.

Nobody can tell me anything about this sleep issue? I've searched high and low...

You don't have the USB issue? That is mainly what I want to fix. If possible, i'd also like to integrate audio into the DSDT so I can use Alc662.kext.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I don't know if bumping is allowed here, but i'll try anyway.

So, I decided to try out installing Slow Leopard on a Biostar H55 HD. It belongs to a friend of mine, and he wanted to try it out. The basic specs: Intel Core i3-530 nVidia 9400GT ALC662 Audio Realtek Something NIC I'm a bit new at this, having only followed guides to Hackintosh a few computers in the past, but I think I have a pretty good handle on it but need some help. This board seems surprisingly good for installing Snow Leopard. I have succeeded in getting almost everything to work with the following: /Extra/Extensions: IONetworkingFamily.kext FakeSMC.kext OSXRestart.kext /System/Library/Extensions: VoodooHDA.kext Removed AppleHDA.kext No DSDT override. I've attached my current files onto this post. This setup pretty much has everything working, leave only a few problems with sleep. Sleep works fine, except that after wakeup, sometimes USB doesn't work. Sometimes nothing works, and I need to put it back to sleep and wake it up again (via the power button, which I have patched into a DSDT that I've been using just for that purpose), and sometimes only a few things will work, and what doesn't needs to be unplugged and replugged. I've tried various USB fixes around the net, and nothing seems to work. Also, what doesn't work quite correctly is audio after sleep. It sounds garbled and weird, and I've seen that this is a common problem with VoodooHDA, and the only way to fix it is to reload the extension after sleep. I wanted to patch in the audio to the DSDT instead, and use ALC662.kext, except that the audio is nowhere to be found in the DSDT. What should I do? The last issue (only a question, really) is that I'm not sure if SpeedStep is really working. I haven't put anything in the DSDT for the i3-530, and I'm not using NullCPUPowerManagement.kext, and yet MSRTools says that Speedstep and TM1 are functioning. Interestingly, though, the frequency seems to be stuck at 0.9Ghz. (Also, the temperatures are always under 30C, so I have a feeling it's at least working partially.) I've attached the DSDT I pulled from a Linux livecd, and also a modified one which contains these modifications: 1. Removed CPU Aliases 2. Added DTGP Method 3. HPET Fix (don't know if needed) 4. Removed IRQs from RTC 5. Power Button fix 6. Set to always load Vista defaults Thanks if anyone can answer any of my questions. EDIT: Also, a few things. This is running 10.6.4, which I am told is why I can use the vanilla kernel. For 10.6.3 and lower, the Qoopz kernel (or similar) must be used to run on an unsupported cpu. If PS2 or ATA support is needed, the corresponding Kexts can be found in the ExtraKexts.zip. DSDTs.zip WorkingFiles.zip ExtraKexts.zip

Are you running 10.6.3 or 10.6.2?

EDIT: Nevermind.

Well, I'll see what the other solution looks like, and I'll decide then whether I want to stick with Voodoo or not.

Meh. I just switched to VoodooHDA and removed AppleHDA.kext.

The DSDT for my G-E was the same as OP's A-E, so I wouldn't be surprised if that DSDT works on all the IONITX series.

I don't post here often, but I have a question. I may be coming into an IONITX-G-E soon, and I had a few questions. One, you said the DSDT may need to be patched for different amounts of RAM. I will be getting only 2GB. What exactly needs to be changed? (I know how to decompile, compile, etc... I just don't know what to change). Next, are there any specific parts of the DSDT that should be removed because of the slightly different model? Thanks for the help in advance.

So okay I have a Dell XPS M1530 (see specs below) and i am trying to install iATKOS v1.0ir2 and everything goes fine until i see the install location dialouge and i have to use the disk ultility to format (erase) the partition i am trying to use. When I choose "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" and click erase i see the little twirling progress bar at the bottom for a second and then it disappears. The window takes an unfocused look (everything looks unclicked on) and (apparently?) nothing has changed when i click on the partition. However when I try clicking "Verify" if gives me an error about how the filesystem is corrupted or something and it will not let me fix it. I have also tried checking it with Parted and it shows HFS+, however it can not give me any size statistics or anything so I assume it is corrupted. I have also tried creating an HFS+ partition with Parted and the installer does not show it in the options list. I have NO idea what to try next.... P.S. I checked the MD5 checksum and it is correct so this should be fine HELP? 250 gb SATA hdd at 5400 rpm 2.5 ghz T9300 Intel Core 2 Duo 4 gb ram (667 mhz) Slot load DVD+-R NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT Intel AG4965 wireless N Sound Blaster Audigy HD
