Then I'm out of ideas! What helped me was reinstalling 10.7.0 from scratch (without any 3rd party kernels or something) - a pure Mac OS X installation + Chameleon, and then upgrading to 10.7.2 and adding my specific kexts. I cannot tell what is the difference between two copies - I'm so tired of hours and hours of testing and freezing

Another update... i found out that the extensive use of safari makes the system freeze more often (also full screen switching apps), I installed chrome as an alternative and my freezes stopped!!!!... i've been two days without freezes and without turning it off or rebooting...

This is also happening to me and I am on 10.6.8 I have a thinkpad T61 with x3100 video. I have a pretty vanilla install. I am going to try the 10.5. FB to see if that helps.

In order to try my approach to the solution of freezes in a hack book with x3100 here's what you need to do.
1) Extract SSDT tables and DSDT from Everest or AIDA64 from WINDOWS
2) Patch your DSDT with X3100 hack code injection for 1280x800 display screen.dsl.zip  
3) Remove all legacy injectors such as Legacy_SpeedStep_MacBook32_107.kext
4) Use chameleon wizard to generate a valid MacBook5,1 SMBIOS and install it in /Extra
5) Install the latest revision of chameleon v2 (r1902)
6) Install the leopard X3100fb kext AppleIntelGMAX3100FB.kext_Leopard_1058.zip and FakeSMC4,2
7) Use terminal to update kernel caches

sudo kextcache -v 1 -l -s -n -t -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -m /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/Extensions.mkext /System/Library/Extensions

7) Be sure to put DSDT and SSDT tables in /Extra and select these values in chameleonwizard


8) Reboot!...

This is a temporal solution, after 8 hours of intense work it didn't froze but it hanged... (no kernel panic or mouse still working, everything stopped..)

@Jorge Rivera, I Tried this but my processor now get warm. then, i'm  use my old dsdt and only patch the injection and remove the ssdt.

now the x3100 freeze but mouse ok.

can you help-me?

my dsdt and ssdt extracted from windows with AIDA64 withouth patch + old dsdt + extra folder:

One more notice.
I reinstalled Adobe soft and freezes came back. So I reinstalled Mac OS X again (10.7.2) and restored from Time Machine (with the same Adobe soft and everything - including old kexts) - freezes disappeared!
I cannot explain this phenomena

[Verkut]

Notice 2
It seems to me the main source of the problems is Flash. With installation/reinstallation of Adobe soft I was installing/reinstalling Adobe Flash.

[Jorge Rivera]

Ok news flash, after experimenting A LOT i've given up to go back to LEOPARD (10.5.8) and it seem much more stable, doesnt heat so much, graphics are smoother, no freezing on safari and youtube or Adobe apps (CS5 master collection). I'm using SSDT from Aida64 and latest chameleon revision. The down side, there are some apps that doesnt work under Leopard. (Sparrow i miss you!!!). But i will survive!!!

[Jorge Rivera]

Here's another update... I installed Windows 8 on Acer 5920, but in spite the minimalist and modern look, i couldnt get used to that... so i got back experimenting... now im runing snow leopard 10.6.8 and got a better perfomance after flashing the bios with a modified rom and extracting the SSDT tables from Aida64 and loading them with chimera (7 tables). I have to say that graphics are really more smooth than on leopard and it feels like a real mac book now...

PD: Smbios > Macbook 3,2 (Just change the name to avoid apple default power management)

I really didn't have this problem when running 10.7.4 and even 10.7.5 betas.  However, now that I am running 10.7.5 with supplement, it's come back with frequency.  Not really sure what's causing it.  It may just be an update of Flash since it usually occurs when Safari is running.

Any progress on this issue? We should try keep this thread alive, at least until we can get a common solution or until some other thing comes up which solves the problem.

Try this version of FakeSMC (3.1.0) and report back if it saves the day.

Update: See below (Post #175)

There is newer FakeSMC ( http://www.tonymacx8...5-2-update.html ).
Extract that .kext from ###### and replace your FakeSMC, there is much more improvement.

This specific version (3.1.0) has so far fixed the problem for me, but I'll try the newer FakeSMC and see how that works out

Sadly , the problem still occurs for me, meaning this version of FakeSMC (3.1.0) did not fix the issue... and likely was not the cause of the issue.
What was different though (in my case) was that the freezes happen less likely, to the point that you think the issue is solved. But alas...

Some of us are stuck with these machines using x3100, no other option other than to keep trying or switch OS!

Update: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[rompingShop]

Unsuccessful! I have to sadly give up on this and move on . Its 2013, and the X3100 seems to be dead and forgotten. RIP
