tbcarey, you are the MAN!

Just to let you guys know (without saying anything that may or may not cause trouble here)... Another cat works great on the E1705/9400 with very few hacks with the exception of sleep and as a result lack of two cores... I could use some help from a few volunteers, but this would require you to have the needed files. PM me... If you have trouble keeping your Tiger going on this hardware or have never worked on fixing things yourself and found results... don't PM me please. I'm sorry but I'm going to be selective right now on who can help with this for obvious reasons.

I have problem with Opera Browser.Is very slow in OS X.
In WinXP it's very fast,but in OS X is Struttering alot when i move side up and down.
Is this because of Titan driver?Or it can be something else that cause this problem?
I have almost everything working now,thats only problem i got now.

I use Opera browser because it can zoom very good.

As I have stated many times before to other people, do not use Titan, use DiaboliK's Natit.

Also, try out Opera's new weekly release here: http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/

Link to the Mac version is at the top of the page.

Ok Where can i download Diabolik´s Natit?(Link Dosent work)
Can i just install that driver over titan?Or do i need to uninstall that first?If so,how to uninstall titan driver?

Tnx

Sorry, the link was out of date in my guide, I just updated it for everyone.

Get it from here: http://diabolik1605.com/DHF/R1Files/Diabol...a.Installer.zip

Ok Thanks,but do i need to uninstall Titan driver?

Yeah, that goes without saying!

rm the kext before installing Natit

How do i uninstall titan.kext?
What do you mean with rm the kext?

You'd have known what it meant if you read through my guide.

rm is the remove command via Terminal.

Simply open up terminal and type:

sudo -s (enter password when it asks)
rm -r /System/Library/Extensions/Titan.kext

then make sure you remove the extensions cache by typing:

rm -r /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache
rm -r /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

Voila! you can then install Natit via the installer.

If you want to install Natit manually, copy the kext into /System/Library/Extension and type in Terminal:

sudo -s
chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/Natit.kext
chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/Natit.kext

Ok Thanks

is there a 8.10.1 kernel?

No it´s 8.9.1 Is 8.10.1 faster then 8.9.1?

i dont know, just asking because i updated to 10.4.10 and now my system.kext is not the same version as my kernel (so i cant mount .dmg files or ipods or usb drives)

Ok i install Natit driver,I got problem with sleep,my display won´t wake up from sleep.So i install titan driver back,and Sleep mode is working again.So every who have problem with sleep mode,is because of Natit driver.

I'll start out by saying I'm sorry for posting another question about this same old topic...

But I just reinstalled Uphucks 1.4 r3 release and I'm having a real problem with my video drivers. No matter what I do I can't seem to fix this dame color banding issue.

Devil, I did exactly what you said in your original post and in numerous replies to others. I only selected PowerManagement & Natit 0.2 on Install. No problem. Once in OSX I installed Mobility, LaptopDisplay and NvidiaEFI (I used the version of EFI you attached in one of your posts here). Reboot... and nothing changes. Same color banding issue.

I get a long slow fade to a full white screen before OSX kicks in and continues to load.

Is there another driver in the r3 release that needs to be removed? And yes, I am using cpus=1 to disable the second core.




My Setup:
E1705
Nvidia go7900 GS
2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
2 Gigs of Ram
250 GB SATA 7200 RPM Hard Drive (Toshiba)

If there is a speed difference, it will be negligible, but I'd stay with 10.4.9 until Apple release the source for the 10.4.10 kernel otherwise you wont have the same SpeedStep/ACPI support like with the current 8.9.1 kernel.

It's as I suspected:  AppleHDAPatcher has hard-coded pin configurations it applies to AppleHDA,
irrespective of the actual values supplied through the codec dump. Essentially, AppleHDAPatcher
only scans the codec dump for codec ID and subsystem, and then makes assumptions about
the correct pin configurations, nodes, and pathmaps based upon this.  In other words, nearly
everything AppleHDAPatcher does for Dell STAC9200 variants is completely wrong.

I've fixed the pin configurations and the pathmaps manually, however. This just means when I
release the changes I've made, it will have to be as a full kext rather than a few files you can
apply to the results of your AppleHDAPatcher run. This is for the best anyway, as AppleHDAPatcher
also uses its own (older) versions of AppleHDA and AppleHDAController rather than patching
the files in your /System/Library/Extensions directory.

Here are the pin configuration values I am currently using, along with what they signify:

Port A: 0x0d - 0x0421101f - Jack on External Chassis / Right Side / Headphones / 1/8 inch Jack / Black Jack / Jack Detect Override / Pin Group 1 / Unique Sequence #F
Port D: 0x0e - 0x90170110 - Fixed in Internal Chassis / No Jack Location / Speaker / Analog Connection / No Jack Color / Misc 1 (Reserved) / Pin Group 1 / Unique Sequence #0
Port C: 0x0f - 0x408000f2 - No Connection on External Chassis / No Jack Location / Line In / No Connection Type / No Jack Color / Jack Detect Override / Pin Group F / Unique Sequence #2
Port B: 0x10 - 0x04a11020 - Jack on External Chassis / Right Side / Mic In / 1/8 inch Jack / Black Jack / Jack Detect Override / Pin Group 2 / Unique Sequence #0
Mono Out: 0x11 - 0x90170111 - Fixed in Internal Chassis / No Jack Location / Speaker / Analog Connection / No Jack Color / Misc 1 (Reserved) / Pin Group 1 / Unique Sequence #1


Theoretically, this should fix the jack detection muting problem -- AppleHDAPatcher was previously setting the pin configuration for Port D to
a 1/8 inch jack on the external chassis rather than an internal speaker device -- but unfortunately, it hasn't. Kind of tearing my hair out about
this, but I'm sure it will come together soon.

..and attached, a simplified widget node schematic for the STAC9200, in case anyone out there is doing similar work and happens to not be as slow as I am when it comes to fixing these problems!

any idea, howto open dmg files after updating to 10.4.10?

I only wish I had the time to help you with this project, but from the looks of things it seems as though you are getting closer and closer to solving this.

PM me your PayPal and I'll donate a few bob if this turns out to be a success!

PM me your PayPal and I'll donate a few bob if this turns out to be a success!

-> me2

I have seen a few posts about people not being able to mount/open DMG files after X or Y updates/changes. I had the same happen to me and the following fixed my problem.



Though for some reasons, the problem comes back every now and then (haven't figured out what triggers it yet). I suggest you copy these two lines in a .txt or something for easier access the next time you happen to run in the problem again.

To tbcarey :

I am anxiously following your progress. PM me your paypal info for a donation if you are interested. I can't wait to listen music with my headphones on without realizing 5 minutes later that I have bothered everyone at work for the sake that I listen to hardcore music. Good times

/personal diary off.

Good day

I'll second that (I also posted in this thread before). I have the same NVidia (except Core 1 Duo and Uphuck 1.3). No matter how many times I've reinstalled with different kernels and versions and kexts, I still have a color-banding issue.

Perhaps the colour banding issue can be related to differing LCD panels?

Is there any way to find out which one I have? In Vista under Device Manager, it simply says "Generic PnP Monitor," and I couldn't even find any drivers at support.dell.com. If it helps, I have the WUXGA Glossy screen.

I want only my headphone working without sound from the speakers.
Please guys help me, is frustrating!
Someone help me.
Either the mic doesn't works, but I need the headphone working well.
Help guys is from long time I'm trying to solve this.
here my codec dump from my dell 6400:Click to view attachment

Dude, did you just skip the entire thread to say that? you could try reading all the posts by tbcarey to understand the problem first.



Check the Dell Part No. for the screen on your invoice for the Laptop. You can also get this information online (or follow tbcarey's instructions below)

Thanks for the offers, guys, but I'll have to wait until I actually get this muting working before I even consider anything like that! Right now it's all just talk, unfortunately. I have been busy with work but plan on spending some time this weekend locking myself in a room and tearing the whole audio subsystem apart. I have a moderately defined idea of how I want to approach this now, but again, there's no guarantee it will work. Eventually, I'm sure it will come together.

adude123:  Go into device manager, monitors, open your monitor's properties, details tab, hardware ids, and compare to the following models:

SHP13C1 - Sharp
SEC3155 -Samsung
LTN170WU - Samsung
LPL0000 - LG-Philips

Also, for those that have sent me PMs, I'm not ignoring you -- just at work at the moment -- I'll respond as soon as possible!

isnt it possible to change the bootscreen at mac os? so we could maybe change the bootscreen and wouldnt get this stutering thing

Unfortunately it is by no means as simple as that because the hardware will still initialize the same way.

so is it maybe possible to "deactivate" the screen temporaly, until mac os is ready?

btw. in you first post the tinyurl isnt working "SpeedStep and (S3) Sleep has been fixed by Paulicat to work under 10.4.8. The actual package is in a BETA state so backing up your original kernel and the items from Library/StartupItems is highly recommended. You can download it from this tinyurl link to try it out, also visit the original thread here for help and support.

Oh, the link must have expired, it was pretty old when I first put it up anyways.

Not such a big deal though since it's way better to just use 10.4.9 and the ACPI package.

btw, deactivating the screen isn't possible, the only real solution to fix stuttering would be to force an automatic (S3) Sleep just before the initialization of the login window.

Isn't Prasys still working on another solution for this?

Yeah, he was, but the project itself has come to a stand-still.

If anyone here could help in getting a dump of the ACPI tables from Linux for the Dell 9400, maybe Prasys would kick-start the work again.
I was going to do this for him, but I have been too busy.
There hasn't been much work done lately in regards to Duddie's program either.

Yes devilhood I did, well..... I'll waiting the tbcarey response I guess, Like many others here.
My headphone stil not mute the speakers.Will see...anyway thanks for all tbcarey, we're all with you

I already gave him ACPI table dump a long time ago.

tbcarey, that doesn't always work. The monitors in laptops usually get detected as Generic PnP by Windows. When they do, you cant get any details on the panel.

The color banding issue could be monitor related because out of all the OSX builds I tried I was only able to improve color banding with Uphucks 1.3 release, not fix it altogether no matter what build or drivers I used.

Thanks for your help anyways guys.
Again, I'm sorry to bother you with such a stupid problem like this.



I'm pretty close to dropping OSX altogether.

I've been looking around and I still can't find a solution for my lack of mirror. When I plug in my VGA monitor, nothing happens. I hit detect displays and nothing happens. I'm using Diabolik's natit, with my 1500m added into the NVDAResman.kext. Am I being a stupid noob?

I don't think display mirroring is supported, only extended desktop.

Thanks for that. Mine is the LG.

@jcbklyny: Thankfully, this time it did show up with the Hardware ID.

I'm trying to consider all the factors that can influence color banding. Other people have the same video card, processor, monitor, kernel, etc... so what is the factor? Especially since this is a laptop, there's not that many variations of components.

Just as a side note, I have the nVidia GeForce Go 7900 GS, Intel 3945ABG, Broadcom 440x, Dell Wireless 350 Bluetooth, Sigmatel 9200, Intel T2600 processor, Philips DVD+/-RW, Hitachi 100 7200rpm, Ricoh 1394, Ricoh memory stick thing, Conexant modem....

(also I never got sleep to work... but I didn't try that hard on it... and I think I read somewhere that graphics problems can tie into sleep problems?)

*sigh* Maybe I'll try reinstalling yet again and trying to install the drivers yet again.

Thanks again to everyone for their help.

AFAIK, that isn't true. Irrespective of whether or not it is detected as a generic pnp monitor, the hardware ids should always be the same, as they are read directly from the hardware and thus accurate. What does yours report, out of curiosity?

Any thoughts about this link regarding . ATI X1400 Mobility Kext.....It seems to load, but mouse tearing still evident.

Cheers.

Incidentally, most monitor drivers only ever install colour profiles, seeing as 99% of the information comes from the monitor itself as it communicates through the Digital cable.
So like tbcarey said, it should not matter how it is detected.

Woah. I'm behind on the response.
I thought it was,as I all ways see mirror on on those hackintoshes. But anyway, my problem is that my VGA monitor is not detected, the light is still blinking(meaning no signal), and the screen is blank.I hear that "Detect Displays" is buggy. Perhaps that's it .Anyway, I would really really like to get mirror or ext desktop working,so I can finally get rid of XP, as I use my luggable for presentations and gaming on the airplane (C&C3, anyone?).
@adude123, I have very very similar hardware,different HD and WIFI card,1500m. No banding. I'm using Jas 10.4.9(Combo update). Sleep works(poke around for the patches here), but the internal LCD will not wake up along with the comp. I haven't tried Upchuck.

I am fairly certain that you can't get display mirroring, at least it doesn't work for me. Extended desktop works very good, its connected to my 19" LCD via DVI.
I didn't play around with VGA, but DVI works pretty good. Only issue is, you have to plug the display after system is on (make sure its not plugged in while its booting) and use detect display, otherwise internal display will stay black (external display will work fine). I really wish to find a fix to this. If you are using sleep trick to get dual core working, you don't have to use detect display but make sure the video cable isn't plugged when the system is booting, plug it in after it sleeps after it wakes up both screens will be up just fine. I think the problem is in either nvidiaefi or natit, it doesn't properly detect the internal display if an external one is plugged in.

Allrighty, I'll try the DVI.

Very use-full, thanks!
But does anyone have any idea how to restore my original dell bios logo
because i have warranty problems now and the service doesn`t like the custom logo ??
Thanks in advance .

Can't you just reflash your BIOS with the one from the Dell site? Shouldn't that fix any kind of logo customization?

Well .. no doesn`t work
i downgraded my bios to A07 and then upgraded to A09
and still nothing .
I think this might be in the diagnostics partition ...
i have to find image of it ..
second option is to find image of original bios but installed and restore it to mine
