Good project! Just wanted to say that my XPS M1330 and I think all of them don't need cpus=1.

A lot i think (at least 1-finger scrolling), but each laptop need a specific com.apple.driver.ApplePS2Trackpad.plist to get it work properly (depend of trackpad version and configuration).
You can get more infos about how to configure it on this topic:http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=88811

If you succeed, give us you com.apple.driver.ApplePS2Trackpad.plist  

[yeye]

ok but it appears that a lot of vostro's users (including me) haven't succeded in getting 2 fingers scrolling

If any vostro's users or XPS succed in it, please told it here

[Sietepicos]

Thanks a lot sonotone. I have just buyed a XPS1530 and this will be really handy. Thanks also to macgirl and Superhai for their incredible efforts to have us all happy with our Dells.
Best regards from Madrid.

Thanks mate,

This works pretty good on a xps m1530.

What doesn't work:
Sleep - falls asleep but doesn't wake up.
FFScroll - Had to delete FFScroll before my lappy would behave alright.

Thanks though, keep up the good work!

Hi

I'm about to try it, but as I am a total noob in OS X (yet) I will need to know what and where to look to either uninstall it , or if my system crashes how to get back to a previous working state (kind like system restore on Windows) (Does that even exist on MAC ?)

Thanks and great stuff !!!

Cheers

Micman

[Micman]

Ok,

My Touchpad reeeeeeeallly behaves very strange, really unusable ! Can I kill that process somehow ? I already did a sudo killall -9 FFScrollDaemon and I deleted the FFscroll app.

But that did not help. Any ideas ?

Another errormessage I get is :

System Extension cannot be used: The System extension /System/Library/Extensions/AppleACPIPlatform.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleACPIThermal.kext was installed improperly......

Any ideas ?

Sleep works however on my XPS 1530

Thanks for the help, I appreciate that.

[looneeii]

Well done! This is a beauty of a package.  One question though...all of a sudden I'm stuck at mac framework successfully initialized... I have both cores enabled though....make a diiference on my m1330??


update: ok no matter the syntax or speedstep or duo cores off/on no change...


update 2: if I remove the acpiplatform.kext and re-add it from the leo4all dvd,  but don't repair my permissions I'm back in to leopard with the errors that acpi can't be loaded...is there a specific acpi.kext version i should look for?

[SKWIGGS]

will this make the ati radeon mobility x1400 work fully, with no artifacts?

didnt realize what model the post-install was for. lol. i have a dell e1505/6400

Can you give your settings please (hardware and osx 10.x.x), your kernel and your Release (kalyway or...)

Same answer.

It look strange. You can drag the all kext in kext helper and re-install it. (AppleACPIThermal.kext can also be removed)

Do never move kext manually in extension folder. Always use kext-helper.

I'll will write a installer-script today for backing-up replaced kext somewhere on the HD.

I just follow the method on devilhood topic (replace ATIRadeonX1000.kext and force boot.plist with right resolution), so nothing new here.
I will be happy to include you model in installer, you just have to say (or give me) what is you hardware and what kexts you use.

[cyonix]

great work sonotone

i had a 9400 before.. but now i have a precision 4300 (my installer guide is also on this board)
all features are working except displaywakeup after sleep, reboot, shutdown and lan adapter (broadcom extreme)
i got 177 points with xbench

maybe u can add a configuration for my notebook to your installer, cause my precision has mostly the same hardware as the d830 and other lattitude

For PCI devices DPCI Manager: http://forum.insanel...&...st&p=643487

But I think that the Trackpad device does not dpend directly to a PCI.

Posibly with ioreg

In any case your original Windows drivers could tell you, or the drivers page at Dell support.

You can also check it during boot (in verbose mode).
