I have a Vostro 1400 laptop, and I'm wondering how to use/configure the AppleSMBIOS. After I install and reboot, my computer gets stuck on a blue screen with the cursor. Anything I can do before I try to install again?

I would recommend you to use a software called Ukelele ( http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.ph...&id=ukelele ).
It is a keyboard layout editor.


There is a FAR easier way to do this that doesn't involve any third party software. Open up system prefs and go to keyboard and mouse. Once there, click the Keyboard tab and then select the modifier keys button. This will allow you to switch the Alt and windows key easily by switching the option and command keys. You can even change it per keyboard as well.

These forums are great, but I do get lost in all the information. Good example is I just stumbled onto this topic.

I spent a lot of time last night installing 10.5.2 and upgrading to 10.5.5. I found out my problem was the infamous CPU=1 flag needs to be set or I get the jerky inconsisant handling. Yet my sound still doesn't work. I hope this installer works on my STAC9200.

My question is the duo core thing. I looked at the image of the installer, and am I correct in seeing that 9.5 for my 10.5.5 is not yet there? Does this mean I have to manually do this process as stated in this topic: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=117558 ? Also would vanilla kernel work on my machine? I have a Latitude D420 (Intel Core Duo U2500 1.2 GHz 2MB L2 Cache, 533 MHz FSB (Speedstep, SSE3)).

i've got this 2 errors. what is the problem?

I am hopelessly confused. (I never thought too much information would have been so detrimental.) I've downloaded the .iso file from the OP but I honestly don't know what to do with it. Do I need to burn the ISO to a CD and then re-install OSx86? I'm not adverse to reading instructions so even an RTFM link would be greatly appreciated. I've read through the first 7 or so pages of this thread but still was unable to determine the proper next steps.

problem is files permissions with packagemaker3...
To fix it copy kext from /System/Libray/Extensions to your desktop then install them with kext helper.
I've reuploaded a fixed intallation package.

Hey Sonotone,

Was wondering....is the nvidia geforce go you are using the modded one to allow for vga out? When I use this I have still been updating with the one I got...

I have given it to many people and it works for everyone who has grabbed it so far smile.gif

And this one is to ANYONE,

Fix for the broadcom ethernet problem? What about display sleep? Has anyone had any luck with those issues or are we still S.O.L.

Damn....I was hoping.

Deceiver, what's the best install for us now? I'm still using my old original kalyway 10.5.2 disc and then updated...

So still using darwin and pcefi. No chameleon or anything. Would love move onto that, put the kexts we need in there and not have to worry about updates smile.gif

same here. I have not tried any new installs (deneb or XxX 10.5.5). I have not done a reinstall since I upgraded from 10.5.2 kalyway all the way up to 10.5.5 either. System is working nicely except sleep and broadcom. but I can live with it. I am using my laptop Vista 70/OSX 30. I may try the new XxX sometime in Dec when I have more time and see how that goes.

For me it will be when I need to wipe and start from scratch. Since everything is working nicely here no rush. Just trying to figure this all out ahead of time. May try that instahackintosh program, throw all the kexts in there and voila. But that's only if it can use the modded dual core enabled kernel.

Also if powermanagement also worked properly it would be great smile.gif No more external programs like cookbook.

You can try the retail method. I've posted my own ISO on the first post, it should be ok for your 6400. then you install my chameleon for hard-drive, it install chameleon + DFE boot, extra folder with Extensions.kext and kexts.
Speedstep is working with last superhai kext, and it don't need any application. (included in chameleon installer)

sonotone, sorry for not doing my research on chameleon. how does this affect a dual boot with vista? is there a chance of hosing the bootloader with the chameleon?
sonotone
Depend if you are with MBR or GUID partition table.
The bootloader (wiith DFE part) can't to see my XP partition on GUID table, but you can easily manage boot with easybcd under Vista.
A new chameleon is comming soon, with many merged functionnalities, i hope it will fix XP dual boot on GUID with DFE 132 support.

Sounds pretty sweet. Will have to give it a try the next time I have to wipe out this thing. Until then everything is working nicely smile.gif

So with the iso...you boot with it....then put in the leopard disc (can it boot the leopard disc if the disc was extracted to an 8 gig usb?). After which you boot again with the iso, go into OS X and then run the post-installer to install chameleon and the other items? Or are the kexts kept within chameleon? So we can update without having to worry about breaking the damn thing? Would this load the modded kernel?

People with x3100/950, you may have a look on this:
http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=133683
A dev, Slice, reported that DSDT patcher fixed the sleep trick for his vostro. You need to install chameleon before.

thanks a ton to sonotone for excellent package. i have got almost everything working on dell inspiron 1520 (x3100) with IATKOS 4i. if anybody knows these two things
please help me -
1. I have installed gma x3100 from dell post installer 1.3.1. Now, my graphics works at full 1280x800 and resolution change also works well. but whenever my system boots into mac i dont get all the icons on desktop. Moreover, the right mouse click doesn't work on desktop. but as soon as i change my resolution to 1024x768, all the icons also come and then i revert back to 1280x800 so the problem solves there. Is there ny simple solution to this problem ? and i already repaired disk permission
with sudo diskutil repairPermissions /. So, plz help me.

2. Sleep for my dell inspiron 1520 is not working, but then also i used the "lid sleep" fix from 1.3.1 installer. Then also
the problem of sleep still exists. my laptop doesn't get sleep, when my laptop goes to sleep it doesn't come out of that.
So is there any solution to get sleep working on dell inspiron 1520 with iatkos 4i. Superhai had released some usbehci kexts for iatkos 2i. Will they work on iatkos 4i. if yes/no how to install those kext and also provide link. And also tell if installing those will stop my usb ports from working. (i dont wanna lose the whole system for getting sleep working).

Can lid sleep fix cause problem, if yes how to remove them. since my sleep is not working.

Dell inspiron 1520
IATKOS 4i
T5250 1.5 ghz
Intel g965 with gma x3100
2 GB RAM
sigmatel 9205 completel working with inbuilt mics and internal speakers (thanks to sonotone)
shutdown fix working (thanks to sonotone)
Not working :
1. Sleep ( how to fix it, Plz somebody have a look on this)
2. Trackpad scrolling not working (Plz somebody have a look on this)
3. small artifact on boot which doesnt show desktop icons + right click disabled
indianguy
i cannot change my desktop background and dont see desktop icons on my dell inspiron 1520 after installing gma x3100 frm dell post installer. i have repaired disk permissions. default wallpaper comes blue only.
if i change my screen resolution once then my wallpaper changes which i had selected before resolution change, so everytime i want to change my background i need to change screen resolution for that and also for getting all icons on desktop

I have two Dell Latitudes a D820 and a D830.

I am on 10.5.2 with Guid and pc_efi_v8 for intel

I have not tried this new installer of yours. I have to pass cpus=1 for the D820 but I seem to be able to get around not having to pass the cpus=1 for the D830.

I have some idea why I don't really have to pass cpus=1 on the D830. It has ACPI SATA mode and there is some special cache chip for that sata chip not sure what its called. Those two things might actually help the CPUS shuttering issue not sure?

Will the latest OSX 10.5.5 and your Installer resolve the Core 2 Duo shuttering?

Quote

Installer v1.3 (updated 10/06/2008)
- Add SpeedStep support
- Add patched Kernels for Dual-Core Shuttering (tscsync)


It does say patched Kernels for DUal-Core Shuttering (tscsync) the shuttering or mouse not responding and slowness is all related to the Dell Bios so this Installer v3 has a Kernel that works around the Dell Bios issue causing this SHuttering?

I am hoping and have not tried yet this installer to see if I no longer have to pass cpus=1?

Thanks

the bios of your D830 is new enough to run with 2 cores in a C2D, the D820 is not. In this case you need to install the kernel for your 10.5.2 and you have it fixed. It is not necessary to upgrade to 10.5.5 to get both cores. I think sonotone's installer provides kernels for several builds including 10.5.2, otherwise they are listed somewhere on the forum here. sorry, don't know where at the moment.

I had a similar behavior on a system with no login pw. when you log off and back in does it fix itself? if yes, set a password to login and it should fix the problem.

Thanks for the reply. So one of Sonotones Kernel in the 1.3 installer will fix the C2D in the D820? If not what search string would you suggest? I usually google it because I am not real happy with the search function in the forum.

Example

D820 10.5.2 shuttering fix site: forum.insanelymac.com

That search string usually gets me better results don't know why?

I am on pc_efi_v8 intel. Should I swich over to this new chameleon? I heard everyone is switching over to it because there is a larger support team where as the EFI is only Netkas, one person and has not updated it for a while.

Is CHameleon EFI like? Will this help me in the D820 C2D shuttering or only the kernel upgrade will? Or will both the chameleon and kernel upgrade together do a better job?

Sorry about a slightly off topic question.

Thanks again!!

Hey Sonotone, I've just installed the hole Power Management pack (installer v1.3.1) in my Dell Studio 1535 with Kalyway 10.5.2.

After installing it, even before rebooting, while repairing permissions the machine freezed.
Now I can't get the system to boot. The only way to boot it is in safe mode.

Could you tell me how could I uninstall it? I see a PowerManagement.bundle in a backup folder, but can't figure out how to use it to restore to previous state.

Thanks in advance for your help,

when you start sonotone's installer there is a package item "others". Under that you will find DualCore Kernels 9.2 -> 9.5. For your 10.5.2 installation you pick the 9.2 kernel.

I still have efi5 or so. chameleon will not help you get rid of the problem. the kernel should take care of the stuttering.

once you are in safe mode. go to your /System/Library/SystemConfiguration folder and delete the newly installed PowerManagement.bundle. Then copy the backed up bundle into the same folder. You may have to verify with admin password. Once done with this, go into your Utilities folder under Applications and start Disk Utility. highlight your Leopard partition on the left and then click on Repair Disk Permissions. Reboot and hopefully it will start fine.

But, I just realized that sonotone's installer doesn't mess with that file at all. Under the PowerManagement package only things like speedstep enabler, battery meter, lid sleep ... are listed. I am pretty sure that the IntelSpeedStepEnhancer.kext and SpeedStep application is your problem for the kernel panic. you need to get rid of these. The kext is in the /System/Library/Extensions folder. The app maybe under autostart. go to system preferences/accounts and pick your account. check the tab login items to the right and delete the entry for the speedstep application.

advice for next time. only choose one item in from the installer and make sure it works before choosing several and then not knowing which one caused the problem.... Also, if your system has speedstep enabled in the bios you can use superhai's kext
good luck.
moregain
Thanks for the help, dude.

I restored the original PowerManagement.bundle and repaired permissions but didn't find neither IntelSpeedStepEnhancer.kext nor the SpeedStep application... and after rebooting, the kernel panic comes back.

Any advice would be apreciated.

Thanks,

Give a screenshot of your kernel panic please.

So, i've just testes PC_EFI V9 right now and Deep sleep is working well on my inspiron 9400. (also GUID osx/xp dual boot with /extra support)

how do I install this thing on a dual boot with Vista. Do I replace it with my tboot or boot0 on my boot partition or do I install this into the root of the osx partition?
thanks
sonotone
just copy the "boot" file onto the osx's root folder. manage it with terminal:

CODE
sudo -s
cp  /Users/yourname/Downloads/boot /


that's it. It also works with dsdt patcher and chameleon files.

thanks, ohh so close. it goes to sleep, it wakes up (to my taste too fast) and shows the last desktop. However, I cannot do anything. Nothing is working, no keyboard or mouse. any idea? when I use the deepsleep widget it tells me that it cannot get powermanagement settings.

I don't think 5 will work, that mode uses secure virtual memory. Netkas said that is not supported yet.

0 = suspend to ram (sleep)
1 = suspend to disk (deep sleep/hibernate)
3 = suspend to ram and disk (safe sleep)
5, 7 = same as 1 and 3 with secure vm

no matter what mode I chose. strange. I know this worked before just recently. wonder what got forked there. guess I have to do some more reading on this. thanks for your help!

edit 1: ok, I fixed that problem. replaced the powermanagement. bundle with the one from 10.5.4 and I can set the modes fine. when I send it to sleep it does what it's supposed to do, it seems to write the memory to disk, goes to sleep, but then wakes up with a blank screen. Just as before. I think it's still waking up on mode 3 and my darn gma950 is probably giving all kinds of other problems. I also made sure that secure VM is checked off in system settings and am using mode 1 to only write to disk (thanks Chrysaor)

edit 2: no go here so far. ready to reinstall fresh when 10.5.6 comes along.

edit 3: btw. how can I confirm that the new boot is actually working? all I see when it loads for a split second is sth about efi bootloader by ToH. that doesn't sound right to me.....

You can use vanilla PM.bundle with Superhai's ACPIBattery.

Your ApplePS2Controller seem's to give you some errors. So, try to replace with this one: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act...st&id=24495

If you have installed EHCISleepEnabler, try to remove it.

I don't think 5 will work, that mode uses secure virtual memory. Netkas said that is not supported yet.

0 = suspend to ram (sleep)
1 = suspend to disk (deep sleep/hibernate)
3 = suspend to ram and disk (safe sleep)
5, 7 = same as 1 and 3 with secure vm


but 5 is the default mode of deepsleep app, and it works for me. (i've patched my dsdt, so maybe it's connected...)

With ApplePS2Controller replaced, those errors at boot are gone, but it's the same with kernel panic. A few seconds after booting, the system freezes.

I didn't find EHCISleepEnabler so I think it's not installed, I've checked for it at system/library/extensions

Here's the verbose boot after installing the new ApplePS2Controller:

ok, backup files are stored in /dellLaptops/backup/
Files concerning you are:
- GenericCPUPowerManagement.kext (remove from System/library/Extensions/ )
- ACPIBattery.kext (remove from System/library/Extensions/ )
- ClamshellDisplay.kext (remove from System/library/Extensions/ )
- PowerManagement.bundle (restore from dellLaptops/backup/ to /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/ )

reboot with -f or -x if it don't boot.

when you start sonotone's installer there is a package item "others". Under that you will find DualCore Kernels 9.2 -> 9.5. For your 10.5.2 installation you pick the 9.2 kernel.

I still have efi5 or so. chameleon will not help you get rid of the problem. the kernel should take care of the stuttering.



once you are in safe mode. go to your /System/Library/SystemConfiguration folder and delete the newly installed PowerManagement.bundle. Then copy the backed up bundle into the same folder. You may have to verify with admin password. Once done with this, go into your Utilities folder under Applications and start Disk Utility. highlight your Leopard partition on the left and then click on Repair Disk Permissions. Reboot and hopefully it will start fine.

But, I just realized that sonotone's installer doesn't mess with that file at all. Under the PowerManagement package only things like speedstep enabler, battery meter, lid sleep ... are listed. I am pretty sure that the IntelSpeedStepEnhancer.kext and SpeedStep application is your problem for the kernel panic. you need to get rid of these. The kext is in the /System/Library/Extensions folder. The app maybe under autostart. go to system preferences/accounts and pick your account. check the tab login items to the right and delete the entry for the speedstep application.

advice for next time. only choose one item in from the installer and make sure it works before choosing several and then not knowing which one caused the problem.... Also, if your system has speedstep enabled in the bios you can use superhai's kext
good luck.




Thanks you very much it works 100%. Wow I can boot into my Dell now with both cores and its runs smoothly and much faster.

Thanks to you Sonotone and all that worked so hard for us Dell Laptop users. Its people like you that make things great to look forward to.

Thanks Again!!

It seems that the problem was the GenericCPUPowerManagement.kext. I first removed only this and the problem is gone.

Any idea for making this kext work in my setup? I know there are a couple of users with the same laptop that installed it without problems. Maybe is the OS version? I'm on Kalyway 10.5.2

Anyway, thanks for the time and help!

I think there is my problem. I don't see this anywhere. I used to see efi..., but now I don't see anything on boot. I even recorded the entire boot and there is no mention anywhere of efi or chameleon. I looked at the boot log but that doesn't say anything either, it is in fact too short to be meaningful. I am afraid that I don't have the bootloader active at the moment. I will start a new install on my spare hdd and start entirely from scratch and see where that goes.

very good. works perfectly in my Dell Inspiron 1252 (GMA X3100).
But, after i install i can't change my desktop picture.. only works if i change my resolution to 1024 and returns to 1280. And when i reboot the screen is blue, without the picture. Please see the image below.
What wrong am i doing?

I think I've replied just recently to sb else here with almost identical problem. This happened to me when I had autologin enabled or didn't use a password to login. when this happened to me a quick logoff/login fixed the problem. it went away after I got rid of autologin. apparently some script that doesn't run properly when autologin is enabled.

I've posted a few other places but since Sonotone has a 9400 and he wrote the installation package I was wondering if anyone else on here with the 9400 is experience issues with dropping on the 440x Broadcom LAN card? I doubt but figured I would ask in case Sonotone or someone figured it out. Thanks!

Hi Sonotone,

Thanks for the install package. Everything seems to be working now but when my xps 1530 wakes from sleep my xbench score is half of what it was before the sleep.... is there a fix for this loss of performance?

Hope you can help

I think there is my problem.


Ok, I did a complete reinstall with a retail dvd 10.5.4 and sonotone's inspiron dfe iso and harddisk dmg compilations from first page. everything worked as advertised. I did this on a spare hdd I had around.

I can boot the system only to an external monitor. then I can apply the dell patcher and the gma950 drivers. on reboot my laptop monitor shows fine, however only one display res 1024x768, no qe. I then force it into 1280x800 in com.apple.boot.plist. After reboot I get full graphics capabilities including other resolutions and qe all on the laptop display.

in other words: the gma950 drivers in the patcher work but need some extra help to get the laptop monitor recognized.

using netkas deepsleep efi/chameleon I can get the E1505 to deep sleep as well.
starting hibernate - wake kernel! and desktop comes back. I am using hibernatemode 1 btw. yohooo!

thanks again for all your help sonotone and others.

edit1: now got dual boot with Vista back following this nice guide:

Since new apple updates, X1400 have many problems, and now i doubt that someone will works on it. (try to ask to the menber called slice, or find a way by yourself).

I've made a micro application whit Applescript to put the system in hibernate mode (to have an access via the dock and use s4, witch is fastest than deepsleep's s5).
The only thing you have to do is to set your password to prevent the app ask for it each time you run it.
So, download the file, open it with Script editor, set your password to the right place, save (command+s).
You can also switch hibernate mode to 2,3...etc.
Only for PC_EFi V9.

PS: glad you finally got sleep working TGD thumbsup_anim.gif after many years in pain... wink.gif

To skip the sleep image at boot, type:
QUOTE
-nowake

when you patch your dsdt, make sure you type
CODE
-newHPET

as explained in patcher readme.
And you have to install chameleon before, then replace boot file by netkas one as explained above.
