I propose to start a new thread how to make a perfect hackintosh from Dell Studio 1747;

  

  Computer specification:

  1.    Video- ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 (0x94801002)

  2.    Sound- Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi MB (0xAA011002)
IDT codec (0x7675111D)

  3.    Intel PM55 Express Chipset Family
compiling DSDT generates over 200 errors
However, with the help of kizwan (thanks a lot!!!) I now have two versions of DSDT one from EvoDSDT and on directly from Dell Bios   . I slightly modified them to reduce kernel panic.

  4.    Bios A13

  5.    CD/DVD Optiarc DVD+-RW AD-7640S (works out of the box)

  6.    Processor i7 720QM (supported by recent updates and Chameleon)

  7.    Dell Wireless WLAN 1520 Half MiniCard
AppleAirPortBrcm43224.kext loaded but not network (0x435314E4)

  8.    Dell Wireless 365 Bluetooth Module  (works with bluetooth kext)  

Please post if you have any solutions to the hardware problems.

1. DSDT.aml from Evo http://dl.dropbox.co...426032/dsdt.aml
2. DSDT.aml from Dell Bios http://dl.dropbox.co...t from bios.aml
3. Boot file for ATI Radeon mobility 4650 framebuffer Shrike (Dime333 helped me, thanks for tutorial!!) http://dl.dropbox.co...032/boot-Shrike
4. EDID display override file for your internal LCD. Install it in:-
/System/Library/Displays/Overrides/
http://dl.dropbox.co...ndorID_4ca3.zip
5. Uploaded 1002_9480.rom http://dl.dropbox.co...2/1002_9480.rom
Put this file in Extra.  Add to boot.plist
        <key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1600x900x32</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>UseAtiROM</key>

I'm also looking to hackintosh my studio 1747. I think the 4650 is the main problem.

I used iBoot + MultiBeast to install retail version of snow leopard. It is pretty easy.

from your posts on other threads i assume you haven't yet got the internal screen to work?

[almuras]

Not yet, only VGA and HDMI.

Has anybody tried new RADEON HD kexts from dong ? http://www.insanelym...howtopic=190586

I have my card and display correctly detected but LVDS is black, I can only access laptop via VNC.

Anybody has the same problem or any success?

[V1GG3R]

I am having the same problem. I've just started my Hackintosh Project about a week ago, but all I have now is a SL 10.6.3 using safe mode (-x) so I only have 1024*768 resolution. When I try to boot it without -x command I get a corrupted screen. Can anyone help me how to get further? Thanks!

p.s. I got my ethernet working, so I'm writing this post from my Dell Studio 1747 Hackintosh, but it sucks with this resolution..

I have the same condition as you almuras. My screen is black with the backlight. My ATi Mobility Radeon HD 4650 is displayed correctly under System Profiler and QE/CI is working. Been remoting into my Studio 1747 via my Imac using Remote Desktop. Gonna give muchas guide another once over to see if I can fix ATIframebuffer.kext to get my LCD showing the image without having to remote in. Will post an update when I can.

Hi CALYPSODON,

Any luck with ATIframebuffer?

Thanks,

Nothing yet... I've come to the realization that its not the ATIFramebuffer that is the issue but perhaps something else. I tried with previous versions of the kext and they all work pretty much the same in giving me only VGA/HDMI output. I've been altering the binary for ATI4600Controller that comes with 10.6.8 and still nothing. I'm going to continue trying and will post what I come up with upon success.
By the way, what are you using to get sound? So far I've been using VoodooHDA and the sound comes out crappy.

I think you are right, it is something else, probably specific to Sudio1747 hardware.

As far as sound is corncerned, download AppleHDA.kext and IDT.kext from this thread http://www.insanelym...p...muras&st=60

I tried adding the HDEF lines to DSDT.dsl but when I made an attempt to compile it to a .aml file I get an error. Would you be able to post your current DSDT.aml with the HDEF lines incorporated into it? It would be much appreciated.

Here it is

let me know if it works for you

Thanks for the file but it didn't work for me. I found out why my DSDT.dsl wasn't compiling and fixed it. Now I have native sound with my updated DSDT.aml. Will also study it further to see if I can alter the ATI framebuffer info because by default its set to Peregrine and I have Shrike injected via my boot file.

Can you post your DSDT.aml?  I am curious how you make native sound to work. Thank you.

Delete all ATI video kexts. At first reboot use -x flag. Use dsdt.aml, and boot file and EDID override from the first post. You will get 1152x864 screen resolution without using -x flag.  You will have to delete ATI kexts after each combo update, before rebooting or computer will freeze.

I also advise to have a separate small partition and install Kalyway, that will give you an easy access to snow leopard partition to manipulate with boot files and kexts.

Almuras, I attached my DSDT.aml and the necessary files to get native sound.
Put "DSDT.aml" in Extra folder
Put "IDT92HD73C1X5_R3.kext" in Extra\Extensions
Put "AppleHDA" in System\Library\Extensions (remove original and use Kext Helper)
If you have VoodooHDA installed, delete it and run Kext Utility to repair permissions & cache.
Let me know if it works... actually used Kizman's guide from the link you suggested above.

CALYPSODON, it worked like a charm!   Thank you very much! Is your laptop exactly like mine?  I am asking because I spent some time playing with DSDT to enable wifi.  It is now posted as PCI card, but no drivers installed.
