hmm mine only goes up to 1280x800

got a little problem here.. tryed to connect my videoprojektor Acer 1150XD to my 9400 (with 7900go) and i cant select the projektor as a monitor. Pressing the "fn" button and F8 at the same time make things only worse (the system hangs up und i have to reboot)

What version and release of os x are you using, and kernel? because I think I had a similar problem with 10.4.6 or earlier and I had to set the resolution in terminal. I don't remember how to do it but there is a post on this forum that explains how to (might be at the beginning of this thread in devilhoods guide)

Question: anyone try the latest build of parallels (4560) on the E1750? Want to see if the crashing is just me or the laptop in general. Program launches, but as soon as you try to run a VM OS X kernel panics. slightly off-topic, but prolly the best thread to ask.

Im using Uphuck 1.3 10.4.9 with the latest sse3 8.9.1 kernel.

I tried typing:

<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1440x900x32</string>

in com.apple.boot.plist but still had no luck

wow that's weird! I'm using the exact same kernel and release and everything fine here, maybe it could have something to do with installation options you chose, do you remember which ones you selected? if you want, I could tell you which ones I used on my e1705/9400.

EDIT: you did infact select under vga->intel-> the gma950 patch during install right? if not extract it from the install dvd using pacifist and put it in your new one.

any solution about my problem?

osx-fanatic: u should delete and backup the laptopdisplay.kext extension and reboot again with pluged vga or dvi cable. than it should work but with color branding.

I tried it and it works perfectly on my system. I'm just waiting for a fix to the quicktime conflict.

Try installing the very latest Quicktime from the Apple site, it might fix the issue.

Tried it and still nothing.

I used it last night to install on my E1505. I now have everything working except for the wireless card. I'm pretty new to Mac OS (this is only the second time I have really used it).

System specs:
2ghz Core Duo (Only using 1CPU)
ATI x1400 (1400x1050 with all the 3d stuff)
SigmaTel Audio (works but doesn't mute when you plug in headphones)
Broadcom 440 (works great)
Intel 4965AGN (only device not working, I've even tried the iwidarwin drivers)

Has anyone else managed to get their 4965AGN wireless card to work?

Development of a driver at iwidarwin for that model has only really just started, so it will probably be quite some time before we see a working release.

You're better off buying a Dell Wireless card to use instead (that's what I did)

For those 6400/E1505 (probably E1405 too) users, here is an AppleHDA.kext which allows for muting of the sound, and there are also no input devices (my input didn't work, and it was annoying to me to have programs think that there is input). If you don't want to change the entire kext, it is only the info file inside which is modified.

Although this is a small start, i am going to be working on this for a while. I would like to at least be able to independently mute the internal speakers and the headphones, but autodetection would be great.

Don't expect there to be input though, because i don't care about that.

Hope it works for you guys too!

where do i find the laptopdisplay kext? tryed searching with spotlight, but nothing

tbcarey has already been working on fixing the AppleHDA.kext; you could try contacting him to see if you can collaborate to fix the jack impedance detection.
Two heads are better than one

Devilhood, you cannot use the same files for both the e1505 and e1705 because the e1505 does not have the subwoofer. tbcarey has not said that we are free to modify his code, so i am starting from scratch.

Yeah, I saw it was still very new. I'll probably keep trying it out until it works

Are there PCMCIA wireless cards you can get that work with Mac OS on the Dell? I'd rather not give Dell any more money right now, we have had a bit of a falling out...

Also, does anyone else who has a 440x LAN card have connection issues after the network has been running for a while?

It's almost like after it's transfered X amount of data it drops to about 2 or 3 Bytes per second (from the 1MB+/sec it had before). The only way I can get it back is to reboot, and then it works at full speed again for a while.

Me too... Dowloading torrents crashes my network. I now got a wireless internal card replacement off ebay and dont use the lan anymore...

You don't need to worry about giving Dell money, just buy it from eBay for a dirt cheap price. I paid only £8 for my Dell Wireless 1500.

In regards to the LAN issue, make sure you're using the 10.4.6 IONetworkingFamily.kext and delete the existing one completely as simply replacing it does not work properly; also, if you are dual booting from XP to Mac, shut down the laptop BEFORE booting into the Mac or you will get networking issues. Vista and Mac dual-booting does not have this problem.

devilhood, do i have to revert back the changes made to the kernel flags
"<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>cpus=1 -v</string>"

thank you!!

Hey qurgh,

What did you do to get a resolution of 1400x1050 with the ATI x1400 graphics card? I would like to see 1280x800 as I am sick of 1024x768.

Anyone get s-video out working on a e1405 with GMA 950? I tried seaching but can't find anything.

i'd like to know that too

I got sleep/resume S3 functioning w/ 10.4.9 Uphuck 1.3 which is allowing both cores to work for me on my E1705 using Titan nvidia driver. I enabled NX, speedstep, and dual cores in the BIOS (i have a08), and I am using the SSE3-1 kernel that doesn't have speedstep enabled. Without enabling NX or speedstep in the BIOS I couldn't properly resume from sleep.

I have a E1705 T7200 w/ 7900GS FYI.

Rift,

Do you recall the specific options that you selected during the install?

Thanks

I chose the SSE3 kernel from March 26-07, no speedstep patch, or core2duo patches or acpi patches. I enabled NX, speedstep in the BIOS (even though I didn't choose the speedstep kernel, I was just testing things) and enabled both cores. I chose titan for the nvidia driver. I installed with cpus=1, and on first boot I booted with cpus=1 so I could setup the network and all the post installation stuff. After that I rebooted with cpus=2 fsb=166 fn=1 -v and put the system to sleep and woke it back up and both cores were functional. I will try later today with the speedstep, 64bit kernel from May 11 to see if that works as I never tried the newest kernel when having nx enabled. I tried it before with both cores and speedstep and nx disabled and it didn't work... i wonder if nx is the key here?

Do not use Titan, it's slower and does not support all cards.

Keep NX enabled.

Speedstep in the BIOS is enabled by default otherwise it forces a lower clock-rate and you get bad performance.

Sleep with the ACPI kernel works perfectly for me with my 7800 Go following the hibernatemode command.

What do you recommend I use instead of Titan? Natit? Nvidia Mobility? NvidiaEFI?

Natit Mobility isn't a stand-alone kext, you're supposed to use it in-conjunction with other kext's.

DiaboliK's Natit and NvidiaEFI are the two best kext's around at the moment

I already covered all these points in my guide though.

help me!!! how can i change my display resolution on my dell inspiron 6400. i have a ati x1400 and i tried the entrance 1280x800 into the boot.plist but it doesnt not work. please help me, what can i do for this problem

thank you

If you searched the forum before you screamed help you would've found out that it isn't possible with an ati x1400. the best you can have is 1024x768.
If you want to have a higher resolution, I'd recomment searching for a geforce go 7300 (dell part NJ887). This will allow you to use a different resolution.

derx

Add

<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1400x1050x32</string>

to your com.apple.boot.plist file. you can get this Res in 4:3 (as long as your screen supports this Resolution), widescreen isnt available yet.

Someone tell me if the Dell Wireless 1505 works flawlessly (as airport extreme) ????
Dell dont sell their Wireless 1500 cards anymore

Dedtime: That would work if you have the bigger lcd panel, but he has the 1280x800 panel, so the trick with 1400x1050 won't work.

HElp... i have an INSPIRON 6400 but with an ATI X1300 Mobility.....

I haven't QE/CI and my res is 1024x768..........
First i install the diabolik X1300 drivers.... only i got a black screen (i must reinstall OSX)
After, I install the diabolik mobility drivers..... but don't work.

Do you can help??

Okay, so, I got headphone jack detection working, finally. I also managed to get microphone input to work. However, there are still two problems to iron out before I release the working kext -- headphone input, although detected, still does not mute the speakers (though I am pretty certain I know how to fix this) and microphone input still does not play through the speakers. So, I'm at least half-way there; I'll keep playing until it's all sorted out!

Screenshots attached, for those interested.

Great news!

Glad to know you are making good progress with this tbcarey, gives us all something great to look forward to


Try the DiaboliK X1300 driver.

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=59218

The header/into post states that 9200 isn't nailed yet but some have gotten basic audio throughput right? I know I had prior but now. . .(

Still no card reader, eh?

Here's to GarageBand '08 and aggregate audio.

Card reader is pretty much a no-go at the moment

The problem with the card reader is that it's mostly software driven. In Windows the card reader driver does all the work recognizing the memory cards, and making them work. Porting this driver to OSX requires someone with good coding knowledge and the proper documentation from Ricoh who made this card reader.

roar!

Dev/poster,

After a few tries I got the Sigmatel 9200 to work great. One needs to use the older v1.14 AppleHDA Patcher with the 9200 dump (not j or 1.16 versions as I had hoped). Please update that first page to correct this.

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act...ost&id=8128

This might help a lot of folks out.

Also, by adding an aggregate audio device one gets more than 2 inputs for GarageBand and simultaneously.

Actually, it doesn't matter what AppleHDA Patcher you use other than the fact that the old version allows Mute to work.

There's absolutely no need to update anything regarding this, as I have already mentioned tbcarey's fixes (both mute and sub-woofer) for sorting out the audio to work properly.

Is there any possibility to update uphucks latest 1.4 version from 10.4.9 to 10.4.10 with GMA950 adapter? I've found an updatepack on tpb but I'm not sure if it works.Where can I find the GMA950 kext which I've to store back after the update?I tried to install the newest iWork '08 and it requires os x 10.4.10

OK, I could solve this problem. You need to backup the intelframebuffer.kext.

My Fan is always running, in windows it nearly always of. I have got a dell 640m, is there any solution?

topan, there is a fix for the fan issue and I'm pretty sure it's in the uphuck dvd, the gma950 patch is in the uphuch dvd aswell I think it's under the intel vga section or something of the like.

after updating from 10.4.8 to 10.4.10, there is a little (big) problem. it seems like i cant open any .dmg files.. any solutions?

edit: ok, now i cant get into osx, it loads and i have this stutering but then it stops with a normal backgroundscreen, but no dock or anything.

Okay, so just an update on the Sigmatel progress:

a. Microphone input now outputs on the internal speakers and headphone jack (with volume control for both input and output).

b. Headphone jack now mutes the speakers upon detection, but also mutes the headphone jack output at the same time. 
This is incredibly frustrating, and I've spent a lot of time on this - I believe it is going to be much more difficult to address 
than I had initially imagined, as the problem lies in the fact that the headphon
jack and the internal speakers both share 
the same audio mixer, whereas all of the native Apple devices seem to have one a
dio mixer per output. I believe this is why
the subwoofer currently mutes upon headphone detection; it uses a different (mono) audio mixer than the speakers and
headphones. I am convinced there must be a way around this that I just haven't been clever or knowledgeable enough to
sort out yet, so I'll keep at it.

c. AppleHDA (and its plugins) are now updated to 1.3.3a, the latest audio update available via Software Update. This has added
the 'ambient noise reduction' option to Microphone input as well, for some reason (I'm fairly certain it existed before, but perhaps
wasn't previously supported by the STAC9220, which is what we're basing the 9200 support off of)

d. I managed to merge the subwoofer and stereo speakers into one audio output device, but have removed the subwoofer
support for the time being, whilst I am sorting out muting of the stereo speakers with headphone detection. I will add this
back in once I am finished with the rest.


AppleHDAPatcher seems to make a lot of assumptions about the layout and node pathmap configuration of the STAC9200, as
evidenced by the fact that it generates pathmaps based solely upon the codec ID, rather than the information contained in
the codec dump file applied to it, as I've previously mentioned. It may also be that it ignores the specified pin values and
substitutes its own hard-coded values based upon codec ID as well, but I can't be certain. I think I may put that to the test
in the near future, just to see if that's also a problem that needs to be addressed.

Will keep you all updated -- sorry for slow progress, but I've been caught up in many other things so haven't had a great
deal of time to allocate to getting everything working. Hopefully it won't be too long!

thank you very much tbcarey for your effort.... its very appreciated!
