rob1980 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Hi guys, So Im finishing off a friends Dell Inspiron Q15R , 5110-3687, or trying at least. I started following the guide here > http://www.insanelym... 5110__st__1240 , but after running into lots of issues, I decided to start from scratch knowing the hardware is all listed to fully work. (trying to install ML genuine purchased from store) So here is where Im at, and where Im stuck, Ive installed a number of kexts, lots of trial and error, lots of booting into linux to fix things again lol. OS starts, and the following appears to work properly: Graphics, the odd glitch line now and then (maybe a patch for that?) Sound works including volume buttons & mute button keyboard / mouse functionality (voodoops2 makes things a bit crazy on touchpad, older versions work, but done fell smooth) im using AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext, and ApplePS2Controller.kext, this is fine as my friend likes the use of double tapping the pad for a mouse which seems to go when its used as a touch pad? Dvd drive / playback works fine battery monitor works webcam appears to work, as does built in mic What doesnt work Sleep, if i tell the laptop to sleep, I have no way of waking it again. USB 3.0, using the latest PXHCD, the 2x USB3.0 ports will work a mouse, work an external HDD, but not a midi controller, or external soundcard? Brightness control wireless (dell 1702, which from the guide should work) Card slot (not worried about this to be fair) Ok, so my main concerns are, in no particular order Wifi Brightness USB3.0 not so worried card slot sleep Ive tried various kexts, starting with the ones from the guide which should work with my hardware, this is where I come to DSDT. For some reason, using the DSDT in the guide it manages to mess a few things up for me, i often get no display on boot up, there were other problems, I cant remember them all, so I removed it. Everything else from the Extra folder in the guide is in place, all I have done is extract my own DSDT, fix any errors without patching (dsdteditor) and put that in EXTRA folder. Im pretty sure I need to add some of my own patches now to the DSDT to avoid future problems and get these last few devices working. Im just not sure what patches to apply? maybe some from notebook sandy bridge? speedstep, this is enabled in bios, but i dont know if its 3states etc? EHCI sleep? I think you get my point lol. Im hoping just an edit of this DSDT will fix the last few remaining issues, or get me a bit closer to being complete, theres probably common patches etc that somebody could advise me on. I'm happy to have a go at editing the file myself, I like to learn these things, and dont expect somebody to do it all for me, just a little guidance (or a lot in this case lol) Any assistance massively appreciated!! Rob ps, Im not using the same version of chameleon as the guide, not sure if it should matter or not, I assuem once the OS has started the bootloader has done its job?

rob1980 Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 Ill attach my DSDT.aml file, I simply used DSDT edtitor, pressed extract, then compile(no errors, just some warnings didnt press fix) then saved as. The bios on this laptop has been modified as in the guide, I hope the DSDT reflects that anyway? The 2nd DSDT I just saved as bin file from within windows, just to make sure its clean, not sure how I can compare them both easily, I'll just use this one I think as I know its not patched in any way yet.

rob1980 Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 *UPDATE* So I was playing about .. again... I tried removing nullpowermanagement, it failed to start properly, so i booted again with -v -f flags. put the kext back, it prompted me for a bluetooth keyboard.. So I restrted, bluetooth and wifi now functioning properly? I knew the kext was in place for it, but I have no idea whats changed to make it function correctly now (it was there before, but would never connect properly and get an ip by DHCP) Not sure if that changes anything to do with the DSDT but just trying to give as much info as I can.
