esotice Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Hello, I have my 6400 working except for that it runs hot, and the battery lasts only about an hour, while with windows it lasts 2 hours. Also, the laptop seems to run hotter with OSX. I've installed a bundle, and the battery meter works fine. I just don't know what I have to do to make it less power hungry. I appreciate any input!!

nozyczek Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 HAS anyone gotten the ATI x1400 card working with an external monitor? I'd love to have this displayed on my lcd tv.

esotice Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Hi Nozyczek! First of all, thanks so much for your google webpage. I've already used a couple of your drivers from the inspiron 6400 bundle, and the information you have posted there is very helpful. But would you please help me understand what steps are necessary to get the external monitor working? What is the ATINDRV kext for, and where do I find this: "com.apple.kext.ATY_Caretta " ? Thanks a lot in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djfremen Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Hey Guys, I've been pulling my hair out trying to get my vanilla 10.6.3 working. My install procedure was: External Firewire Drive to real Mac. Install SL 10.6.3 onto external drive. Reboot on real mac - enable wireless control, install Cham RC4. Install HD into 9600/1705 Laptop. Black screen - boots to desktop. Control via real Mac. Install EFI string, Install Kexts (see below), Use EFI studio to install string also in S/P/SC/. Nothing! Still absolute blackness on LCD display. I tried "Screen Sleeper" and tried turning off auto login. Below you'll see my Boot.plist as a screenshot attached (with GMA string)- this one living in my EFI. Please help me out... Not sure what I'm missing to get this display on. KEXT in EFI Partition: AppleACPIBatteryManager Disabler EvOreboot fakesmc IOATAFamily LaptopDisplay Mobility NVinjectGO SleepEnabler VoodooHDA VoodooPowerAcpi VoodooPS2Controller VodooSDHC Really dont want to use a Distro. Have built many hacks (msi wind and Abit desktop) and this one snag is bumming me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkid Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) Hello guys. I have this kind of configuration: Dell Inspiron 6400/E1505 Motherboard Chipset Mobile Intel Calistoga-PM i945PM CPU Type Mobile DualCore Intel Core 2 Duo T5500, 1666 MHz System Memory 2560 MB (DDR2 SDRAM) Video Adapter ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 (256 MB) (1440x900) In my opinion general trouble with my Video adapter x1400. I try many and diferent ways with kexts to install 10.6 or 10.7 Even try step-by-step instruction by nozyczek but without luck. After updating to 10.6.7 and installing script -- system not boot. Any help from yours? Problem solved with x1400 on SL 10.6.7 Edited January 28, 2012 by inkid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LatinMcG Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 edit that post.. remove dsdt and find your dsdt.aml right click it and compress (makes it dsdt.aml.ZIP thats allowed to be posted) then use full editor in here posting and attach. the fix is remove the line ending in 100 Method (_DOD, 0, NotSerialized) { Return (Package () { 0x00010200, 0x00010400, 0x00010300 }) } and this if u have nvidia Method (_DOD, 0, NotSerialized) { Store (SMI (0x6D, 0x00), Local0) If (LEqual (Local0, 0x01)) { Return (Package () { 0x00010200, 0x00010110, 0x00010210 }) } Else { Return (Package () { 0x00010200, 0x00010118, 0x00010120 }) } } if its ATI i have no clue use dsdt editor to fix it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djfremen Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Thanks LatinMcG! However, I cannot compile after dsdt fixer applied. Keeps running into errors. Tried searching but no response for my specific issue. //DJF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
