larrybird Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I'll have a go. What's your system? I'm on a Dell XPS m1330. These are notorious for having problems with x3100 whilst others have been able to make it function properly.

larrybird Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 By the way, are you running 10.5.2 and do you have the graphics update or are you using the stock kexts?

I've been messing about with it for a few days and I've still nothing.

GimmeRed Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 How did you get your x3100 to work on your Dell? I've been messing about with it for a few days and I've still nothing. QE/CI and resolution change work out of the box with iATKOS v1r2 & r3 with the only problem of the display going to sleep on the resolution change. The work around for this is setting up a hotcorner sleep display or a sleep display app to open at login. The hotcorner is needed if you manually change the resolution. Once the system has been put to sleep however the display no longer goes black when the resolution is changed. This is helpful for gamers as some games will change the resolution. The best solution I have found is to not shut it down I just use sleep mode.

larrybird Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I used iAtkos 2.0i and my video didn't work at all after the install. Did you select the x3100 drivers? The only way I could get the system to boot was with a vanilla kernel and not drivers/patches. I'll try copying them over from the DVD and see if that helps. Did you have to do anything else? Have you done the graphics update or does that break the video? Also, with the sleep corner trick, does that mean the screen always blanks after the Apple loading screen? If I load the drivers, the system will keep running, though the screen goes from blue to black. So it'll always do that, fall asleep, then come back up once I've moved the mouse?

Here is the guide to get it to work in iATKOS. I have no idea if it would worh on a 1330. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=79526 It is a little quirky but once it installs and you get a hot corner set up for sleep display and a sleep display app to open at log on it works OK. And again once the system sleeps and wakes up it works flawlessly. The apple graphics update just gave me a black screen. I think if delete all of the Gma950kext before reboot it would probably work OK. I just haven't tried it because I don't want to break my install.

To be honest though--and I don't know if this is because it's a hackintosh--I think Vista looks much better. I wish I could compare it to a real Mac, but the font rendering seems off and the screen profile/settings were way too bright. I calibrated the monitor, though I still don't think it looks as nice. Have you noticed the same or have I just not spent enough time putting everything in order?

But I must admit that everything work in Vista.

So, was anyone successfully able to boot into their Mac OSX with respective/full display settings and not having to drag their mouse to the corner or what not with this file from Champro? Btw, Champro, once we have downloaded the file, you are supposed to delete the '.rar' part correct so the file name reads: "AppleSMBIOS.kext" ?

ADHDMedia Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Hello. I have a Dell XPS M1330 with the Intel X3100 chipset. I have a fully working display without using the sleep trick. The key is DSDT editing. I downloaded a DSDT from a thread that works perfectly. The only problem I'm having now is that I can't get the system to go to sleep. All of my USB devices are detected as internal, and I don't really know what else to check. Any ideas? When I go to sleep, it wakes up instantly to a black screen, from which I can't recover without a hard reboot. Thanks. If anyone wants to give my DSDT a go, let me know. I'll link it here.
