pokenguyen Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I think the guide for Inspiron 7000 can be applied to your laptop too. They are quite similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conedmiro Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 Scratch that, laptop was in the car - I put the config.plist in /EFI/CLOVER - made it so i only had the boot options for the Mavericks USB + Windows UEFI boot but it still took me to a missing bootcache.playlist error when i rocked -f -v ---------------- I tried it spacebar > without caches also UYseKernelCache=No, GraphicsEnabler= Yes/No what should I specifically use?

pokenguyen Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Recreate your mavericks installer usb, your modified mach_kernel maybe the culprit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conedmiro Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 Alright! Got past the Apple logo, chose my language then *boom* install failed, but it won't let me save the log - I took pictures and I'm trying to upload them now, any ideas what that could mean?

dcai777 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 no you can't patch the installer for mbr installation, it crashes the installer if you use myHack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something wrong with your installer, I always prefer vanilla installer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conedmiro Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Got it working sir! Thank you oh so very much! so my Atheros 9565 is useless basically? I'm about to order a usb mini wifi card to make up for it. Now i'm following your 7000 guide so as to make them both bootable without the usb key -> is that the best way to do it?

I think you can see it as reference because your dsdt may be different, for example the decompile dsdt.dsl will have lots of Zero Zero Zero errors, you need to delete them manually.

conedmiro Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 wait, that confuses me =( sorry... I need to delete what for what? Is that above post in regards to the Atheros wifi? OH! and for the boot to install then crash, I had to manually patch it for MBR boot, that's what got it to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conedmiro Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 ah ok, I won't be able to patch anything till I get my wifi working, so I'll post back here in a bit and keep you posted! thank you so much for all of your time man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conedmiro Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 added 3/11 ---------------------------------------------- OK so graphics are displaying properly somewhat, I've gotten sound to work and I think sleep is working [it's on and off] one thing I can't get to work so far is my Brightness - my intel 4400 is seen but under display properties, is only registering as Generic Graphics what's a good way to get around this??

dcai777 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 what about with fn-f key for brightness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokenguyen Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Open the ssdt containing your HD4400 and apply the brightness patch for haswell, then install ACPIBacklight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conedmiro Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 I haven't patched my dsdt yet or generated an ssdt [that I know of] time to do a little more research! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conedmiro Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 I was seeing to use Maci ASL to generate an SSDT I was reading that in order to get the Intel 4400 to be recognized as an actual Graphics device I need to inject this into it: DefinitionBlock("ssdt-gr.aml", "SSDT", 1, "IgFake", "IgFake", 0x00001000){Method(_SB.PCI0.GFX0._DSM, 4, NotSerialized){If (LEqual (Arg2, Zero)) { Return (Buffer() { 0x03 } ) }Return (Package(){"device-id", Buffer() { 0x22, 0x0d, 0x00, 0x00 },"compatible", Buffer() { "pci8086,d22" },"name", Buffer() { "pci8086,d22" },"AAPL,ig-platform-id", Buffer() { 0x03, 0x00, 0x22, 0x0d },})}} Now if i create this file and inject the code into it, am I at risk of making my Mac OS X partition unbootable? What's my best course of action? I've already tried installing ACPIBacklight.kext using KextWizard so I'm thinking once I get it to recognize the graphics card I'll be good to go on that front? BTW thanks to all your help, I'm compiling the information to add my own information to the OSXWiki which after all these years, I'm extremely glad to finally be able to contribute to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokenguyen Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Look at my Clover guide for 7000, you need to patch your OEM HD4400 SSDT (it's in your BIOS, not generated by MaciASL or anything) to add brightness, then install ACPIBacklight. It's the best way! This ssdt will hurt your system for sure, it injects wrong ig-platform-id (it's used for desktop, not laptop). Take a screenshot of your "Generic graphics".

conedmiro Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Ok here it is showing that it sees the Intel 4400: And I stand corrected because it's showing me the right resolution, just not allowing me to control the brightness: I'm just waiting on my new wifi card to come in the mail and then I can test out your 7000 Clover guide.

conedmiro Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 No new updates as I still can't get that damn Wireless Utility to load - I can connect to the internet all fine and dandy on my school's network using this wifi card because it doesn't require credentials under [Guest Mode] but still unable to use it at home =( =( =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokenguyen Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 If you want to change brightness, you have to patch your dsdt (it's a bit different from dell 7000, but you will figure it yourself). Your graphics is working well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conedmiro Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 I swapped out my wifi for an Atehros 9285, now it shows it as an AirPort which I'm SUPER happy about I tried patching the dsdt for kicks and giggkes, but when I decomplied the .dsl file and loaded it into MaciASL, it shows 3 errors when I compiled so I scratched that whole section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
