EDIT: On Lion now, see post #321 http://www.insanelym...dpost&p=1822504

I haven't seen any discussion for these machines, so here goes. The hardware for the R480 is nearly identical to that of the R580 (and I assume the rest of the series), hopefully we can all work together.

I have my R480 running 10.6.4 pretty much flawlessly, all but sleep (which I would really like).

My Hardware Compatibility List entry:

Core i3 2.13 GHz
4 Gigs RAM

Install method: Using retail DVD image from other leopard partition using Pacifist. Have to set AHCI to Manual and Enable in BIOS.

GUID/MBR hybrid, 5 partitions: Chameleon, Snow, Windows 7, Snow Backup, Data

Audio: Realtek ALC269-GR - Working with VoodooHDA
Video: nVidia GeForce 310M [10de:0a75] - Working with NVEnabler64
Ethernet: Marvell [11ab:4381] - Haven't tested
Wireless: Atheros AR9285 [168c:002b] - Works with modified kext
Bluetooth: Works OOB
Trackpad: Synaptics - Working with VoodooPS2Controller. Scroll coasting/inertia with Smart Scroll application.
Webcam: Works OOB

Sleep: NOT WORKING. Tried various SleepEnabler versions and settings without luck. Let me know if you have any ideas (might attempt to tackle modifying DSDT).

Got my kexts, etc from package here: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/HCL_10.6.3/Portables#R530

Anyone been able to get sleep working?

[unnnamed]

Would be interested in this too. My R580 runs great but sleep would be great. Also tried SleepEnabler but still no sucess.I dont have a DSDT.aml though.

Hi, can you explain to me or can link to me a tutorial for Snow retail installation on a R Series? I've R580 Many thanks

[derekreid]

The iBoot/Multibeast method seems to be pretty popular, I'd google that (doubt we're allowed to link to other forums/sites).

derek,

would you please add some sample .kext to this thread to show how you got the atheros wireless working?

i am running 10.5.8 on an r510, i do not know the model number of the atheros card, for some reason this info is hard to find out, all i can make out is i think ar58xb63.

everything works on my machine apart from:

wireless
fans (they're spinning but it gets pretty hot at times)
brightness&sleep (don't care about these two)

Apparently the IO80211Family kext from the 10.6.5 update supports this card (got it from the R580 entry in the Hardware Compatibility List here: http://wiki.osx86pro.../Portables#R530)

This probably won't work with your 10.5.8 install, I would suggest upgrading to Snow Leopard.

i have samsung r730. same problem sleep no work. then i press power button notebook go to sleep and wake after a second but no full wake (keys ,trackbar ,display) not wake.
i found half of problem. then i disable EHCI2(webcam in this hub) in DSDT. I got sleep. it`s sleep. no auto wake.
but if i press power button i have the same  no full wake (keys ,trackbar ,display).

[unnnamed]

How did you do this?
I made a small dsdt to use native power management.Did you use this or do you still have a disabler.
In DSDTSE is a _WAK hack, did you try this?

[violet7]

I have native pm & speed step after dump all SSDT from win7 by everest
no _wak hack need for me - I have it with original DSDT.
only RTC modification.    
In my dsdt I have this code  

OperationRegion (RCRB, SystemMemory, SRCB, 0x4000)
        Field (RCRB, DWordAcc, Lock, Preserve)
        {
                    Offset (0x1000),
                    Offset (0x3000),
                    Offset (0x3404),
            HPAS,   2,
                ,   5,
            HPAE,   1,
                    Offset (0x3418),
                ,   1,
                ,   1,
            SATD,   1,
            SMBD,   1,
            HDAD,   1,
                    Offset (0x341A),
            RP1D,   1,
            RP2D,   1,
            RP3D,   1,
            RP4D,   1,
            RP5D,   1,
            RP6D,   1,
            RP7D,   1,
            RP8D,   1,
            TTDR,   1
        }

I found that is not complete then I look at datasheet of Intel® 5 Series Chipset.

after add some bits from manual

OperationRegion (RCRB, SystemMemory, SRCB, 0x4000)
         Field (RCRB, DWordAcc, Lock, Preserve)
         {
                     Offset (0x1000),
                     Offset (0x3000),
                     Offset (0x3404),
             HPAS,   2,
                 ,   5,
             HPAE,   1,
                     Offset (0x3418),
                 ,   1,
                 ,   1,
             SATD,   1,
             SMBD,   1,
             HDAD,   1,
,8,
EH2D,1, //ehci2
LPCD,1,
EH1D,1, //ehci1
                     Offset (0x341A),
             RP1D,   1,
             RP2D,   1,
             RP3D,   1,
             RP4D,   1,
             RP5D,   1,
             RP6D,   1,
             RP7D,   1,
             RP8D,   1,
             TTDR,   1
         }
  
and add under sb scope

    Scope (\_SB)
    {
        Method (_INI, 0, NotSerialized)
        {
            Store (0x01, EH2D) //store 1 to disable ehci2
        }
    }

so I lost 1 external usb and webcam but got sleep. and not full wake

i have samsung r430 all works fine but the vga/out can't get works if i try to detect the display!!!!

[unnnamed]

maybe there  is a solution but its turkish and google translate dont help much.
Maybe someone can have a look at this:
Sleep Moda geçişte bilgisayar yanıt vermiyordu.Aşağıdaki komutlar terminalden girilerek problem giderildi.
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 3
sudo nvram "use-nvramrc?"=true


I already typed this into terminal but always error. Hope there are some turks here

hi, i have the samsung r730 and having problems with iatkos v7 laptop just restarts every time i see the apple logo :/

what method is recommended for the RXXX?

violet7 what method did you use?

cheers

[unnnamed]

use retail snow leo and iboot supported. Our laptops are too new for Leopard.Retail is better than distro.

[gareth_iowc]

ok thanks for your help! i've just got a couple of questions. how stable is it on a samsung? where i use it for djing i really cant afford for it to hang up! also i use ubuntu as my main os i have to partitions will osx boot along side linux? cheers

[unnnamed]

For me it runs very stable, after replacing 2 kexts also in 64 bit. I don´t know about dual boot with linux though. I had iAtkos before installed so it was  no problem to rebuild the retail dvd onto a usb stick and replace 2 files to set retail up on MBR to have dualboot with Win7. I don´t know if linux works on guid table.

[matt971]

I got a samsung R720 dual boot vista/seven do you think my my hardware can run on mac os cuz i've tried to install ideneb 1.6 10.5.8 lite but it always reboot when the instalation is done

[violet7]

I have a good news. I made my gfx wake up from sleep . I see desktop.

[derekreid]

matt971:
I would recommend installing with Nawcom's Mod CD and retail 10.6. Use the search to try and troubleshoot as much as you can by yourself.


violet7:
That's awesome, you'll have to help me out once you get the kinks out. With the SleepEnabler kext my machine looks like it wakes up right after going to sleep, but screen is still black. I was going to try and play with DSDT, but I think that's over my head.
