Devilhood,

I am now upgraded the the 10.4.9 with the netkas Kernel. I still can't figure out what I am doing wrong with the patcher. I am going to try the 9220 patch that is on the JaS Install and mess with that but if you could send me the Kext just incase I don't have any luck.

Thanks for all your help!

If your onboard sound is 9200 then 9220 wont work dude.

YAY!! Sound is working good. I don't know about inputs and headphones yet, but I don't really care as long as it makes noise. Thank you everyone for all your help..it turns out I was mostly retarded, and should have had it working a long time ago.

I am down to only a few minor issues.

1. Does anyone else have a problem with there "del" "end" etc... keys not being rcognized on their onboard keyboard?

2. And lastly any decent fix for sleep yet? by sleep I mean getting the "screen to wake up"

3. dual core, I'm not holding my breath

I'm on a Inspiron 6400

i would guess your 'del' and 'end' keys don't work because osx uses 'backspace' for delete and 'control + forward arrow' for end. your keys work, it's just the keyboard layout. the first thing you may want to do is go into the keyboard modifier and switch the command and control keys to make it work more like windows. it takes some getting used to.

I managed to correct my banding issues for my Go 7300 through extensive web search.

I downloaded LaptopDisplay.kext and NVinjectGo.kext from here:
http://lemamouth.free.fr/NVinject/

The links provided by devilhood on original post are no longer valid (Macvidia), but thanks again for the compilation.

This will help others with other GeForce Go users.

Yeah, ever since Macvidia went offline for temporary maintenance I forgot to update the link. Will do now.

In the mean time, their forum is hosted at a different location: http://forum.osx86scene.com/

Pawel.

Can you help with me on this Devilhood?
I've just install on my E1505 with uPhuck 10.4.9 1.4i ver.
1. The problems is I can't get my computer to sleep. When I click Sleep the mouse cursor just disappear, and everything on screen just froze, when I move my mouse everything was back to normal, in which I can't make the "dual-core initialization" trick
(fyc, I've installed the ACPICPU pack in uPhuck installer).
2. Is it ok for me to use software update to update to 10.4.10 now?

I already stated in my guide that updating via Software Update to any future version of OS X is a no-go

Make sure you're using the new keithpk PowerManagement bundle and the ACPI Kernel, then do the 'sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0' (without quotations) command within Terminal to allow sleep to work properly.
Just read the PowerManagement bit in my guide and it should explain things clearly.

Let me know how it goes!

Pawel.

I would greatly appreciate if some one could PM me a demonoid invite

Thanks

Since this post mentioned it.........Is there anyone with a MacVidia Beta 2 driver? I'm running Uphuck 10.4.9 and I really need it because I have no internal screen with my laptop at the moment. I'd really appreciate a PM.

I've got the Radeon X1400 Mobility. Anybody know if it's possible to remove it and use the integrated graphics? I don't really game, and it's conflicting with my Presonus Firepod, I think. Does my computer not include the integrated graphics because I got the Radeon, or is it just disabled?

If I don't have the integrated graphics, what's the cheapest Nvidia graphics card I could get that would work well with OS X?

Dell Laptops are either supplied with integrated graphics or a graphics card instead. You cannot have both available to you.
The Nvidia GeForce 7800 Go is fairly cheap and you can buy it from eBay.

In a rush, but just thought I'd finally get around to posting this, a month later...

Instructions:

1) Delete existing AppleHDA.kext and ALCinject.kext files in /System/Library/Extensions

2) Mount image file and copy kext files into /System/Library/Extensions

3) Delete /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache and /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

4) Delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist

5) Run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions

6) Copy 'Play Thru for SigmaTel 9200' to the folder of your choice and use as necessary in order to hear input device audio via speakers



Some quick caveats:

- Only designed for E1705/9400, aka Dell laptops with subwoofers. 

- Kext uses latest version of AppleHDA (early July update), so you must be running 10.4.10 for it to work. Users of 10.4.9 and below should not apply this kext.

- Subwoofer is now an independent device, so its volume is controlled separately, even if you don't hear it when it is selected in System Preferences. The trade-off with this is that you have to remember to mute both devices if you want silence, but the gain is that you will be able to modify subwoofer volume independently of the main front speakers.

- Headphone detection 'works'; headphone output does not. OS X insists on muting the mixer node (0b) entirely when a device is inserted, which goes against the Intel HD Audio 1.0 spec's exception for codecs with shared mixer nodes. However, Apple doesn't use any codecs in its current hardware lineups that have shared mixer nodes, so I don't expect them to make any attempt to support this portion of the HD Audio spec.

- For Play Thru for SigmaTel 9200 to work properly, the External Microphone device and both speaker devices must all have the same 'Format' settings in 'Audio MIDI Setup'. I've only tested it fully on 44.1kHz, 2 channel 16-bit output, since this is what the Dell specs are set at. If you have different bit-depth or sample frequency settings for separate devices, you WILL have problems with the output locking up after a few seconds.



Will write more later, but late for a Saturday night outing. Hope this works for all of you. I'll be back to check and see if there are any problems!  



Cheers,

-T.

Hi tbcarey...
Just to notice that your .kexts works well in my laptop as well (Dell Precision M90 - Uphuck OSX with Koolkal combo update 10.4.10)
I had some issues concerning owner and permissions (ALCInject.kext) but finally fixed it ("chown" and "chmod" routines)
Thank you so much...

tbcarey, I get no detected sound output whatsoever with your replacement kexts even after chown and chmod.

Are you using the AppleHDA from 10.4.10 or 10.4.9? I prefer to stick with 10.4.9 because of the ACPI kernel.

Ah, yes, sorry - that was another caveat I forgot to mention whilst in a hurry to get out the door. This kext incorporates the latest version of AppleHDA (Sound Update from early July), which is designed for 10.4.10.  I can try to put together a version for 10.4.9, but it would mean loss of the 'Ambient noise reduction' feature for input devices.

For the time being, if you're using 10.4.9, don't use this kext.

I might upgrade to 10.4.10 manually via Apple's combo and replace System.kext and mach_kernel with the one from 10.4.9 to retain ACPI. Although I don't know if there are any trade-offs.

Hi.
I have a Dell Inspiron 6400, Core Duo T2400 1.8, ATI X1400, Sigmatel 9200 audio, 3945ABG Wifi.

What MacOS ISO should I use? How to install? Possible in VMWare or similar?

Known unresolved issues related to my configuration?

Thanks.

hi ogitrevbus,

- not native resolution (only 1024x786)
- mouse glitches when QE is enabled
- built-in speakers dont mute if you plug in earphones
- no mute in general (when i turn down the volumne sound is very quiet, but not off)
- wlan doesnt work (think so - havent testet yet)

i recommend "uphuck 10.4.9 v1.4i r3" or "XxX 10.4.10 PPF1"

Both of these are no longer true.

-T.

Can anyone help me get my bluetooth to work correctly? Mine is detected, finds devices and all that jazz, the problem is I cant setup my bluetooth headset because it says my hardware doesn't support headsets, but the headset worked fine in windows and Linux.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance.

so does anyone think we will ever have a proper fix for core duo?

im starting to lose faith. i think i might just give up and get a mac mini.

also, has anyone has ever got sleep working with gm950?

tbcarey, I didn't know you were a fellow Londoner! huzzah

Now I'm in my new Mac Dell XPS M1330.

no Wireless (3945ABG)
no Ethernet (Broadcom 59xx)
no QE/CI (Nvidia 8400M GS) but really fast anyway in VESA mode even accept 1280x800 resolution.
Sound only thru headphones
Webcam Works without special driver
Bluetooth works
Card reader not recognized
I have wireless with an USB adapter BTW.

But the great thing is that both cores work without probs, no cpus=1 or idlehalt, no stuttering at all.

Indeed! West London here...  what about you? 




I am going to try to release two more versions of the previous patched AppleHDA.kext: one for people who still want to use the headphone jack (muting will not work) and one for those who don't have a subwoofer. 

Still not certain about a 10.4.9 release, as during my testing I noted that quite a bit has changed in AppleHDA with 10.4.10 and subsequent July update, and it'd require a lot of work to ensure the old version works in the same manner. Sorry. 

Here's to hoping Apple releases the 10.4.10 Darwin source code soon... and perhaps even includes the source for AppleHDA, if we're extremely lucky!

-T.

Having trouble with my sound. I used the latest patcher from this thead and loaded in the Sigmatel9200.txt (http://psykopat.free.fr/apple/AppleHDA/sigmatel/Sigmatel9200.txt). I have semi-functional sound now on my 10.4.9 Uphuck (intel) OSX86 system. I can hear sounds, I can even playback music from Logic Pro 8.. But, it's really choppy. Wether I play 1 track or 8 tracks in logic my audio is garbled and stutters.

On the psykopat website, there are llike 15 different text files for Sigmatel9200.. Which one am I supposed to use? Why are there 10 copies of it with -a, -b, -c, -d, -etc suffixes? I have an E1405 (core duo, not 2) laptop with the upgraded sound card (Integrated Sound Blaster® Audigy® ADVANCED HD Audio), is this still the Sigmatel chipset or am I going down the wrong path here?

Also, once you've patched with this, can you throw in another .txt and try some others? Do I have to reinstall to try another?

Thanks gang.

It's still the same sound card, only with different software.

If you had read through this thread, you'd realise that there are different codec dumps depending on the Subsystem Id of your onboard sound.

For example, the Sigmatel9200.txt contains the same Id information as mine:

Codec: SigmaTel STAC9200
Address: 0
Vendor Id: 0x83847690
Subsystem Id: 0x102801cd
Revision Id: 0x102201

You can view related information via Device Manager or software like Lavalys Everest to find out your Id.

You should just go ahead and try tbcarey's previously modified kext's with the mute button info.plist fix for 10.4.9.
Make sure your audio settings are at 44.1KHz 16-bit to minimize problems.



SE London/Essex here, though according to Google Earth I am NE London

I wouldn't worry about releasing a 10.4.9 version, 10.4.10 Darwin source is right round the corner! Haha, I doubt AppleHDA source will be released, though that would be very useful.



Heh, that is pretty cool. I've got my hands on a Dell Inspiron 1520 which I am installing stuff on for a friend; you should just pick up a Dell 1500 Wireless card from eBay and take out the 3945ABG, but if the wireless via USB is fine then yeah, no real worry there.
I probably wont be getting a new laptop until there are proper working GeForce 8400/8600 drivers, or at the very least, until Quad(+) Core becomes the norm for mobile platforms.

Yeah, I'm thinking in buy one 1500 or 1490 dell card, since the wwan slot is free I could have both wireless cards.

I figured out I have the 0x102801d8 Subsystem and patched with the stac9200-e.txt. Same problems. Massive stuttering in Logic and iTunes. I will admit it's better, but still unlistenable.

I also tried the above Info.plist mod and have no change in results. Not sure what to try next..

What Kernel version are you using?

I suppose you could always try the 10.4.10 upgrade for the sake of the new AppleHDA patch that tbcarey made.

anyone got the two cores working? I got depressed and left, I just come back from time to time but can't beleive that hasn't been cracked!

thks

I have already posted many times regarding this, please read through the thread!

Two cores work when you Sleep/Wake the system as written on the guide.
Newer Dell laptops i.e. the 1520/1720+ range do not experience the stutter.

Pawel.

As has been posted many times, the sleep/wake trick does not work on GMA950 Dells.

Thanks for all te help with th guide. It worked great on my E1505 but still can get the resolution to change from 1024 x 768, can you help with this? I tried the tread with the New JAS 10.4.8 and Dell E1.... guide but could not get it to work. Is there a file that I need to install or anything like that?

Also, is the IntelPro wireless working now, if not, where can I find a guide to install the ethernet file to work. Thank you very mush for all the help.

Oligo 32

btw. Running on a Core Duo with only one CPU able but have the T7200 wth the 4MB cache and it works pretty good.

The questions you have just asked have already been answered and explained in the guide.

I'm usuing a dell e1505 with an X1400 mobility and pretty much have everything working well, however i'm still getting mouse glitches when QE is enabled and cannot get my resolution to go past 1152x864 even tho i specify 1440x900 in the com.apple.boot.plist. I know this is my native resolution as well because that is what it is in windows.

currently i'm running 10.4.10 and an 8.10.1 kernel.

any suggestions?



edit: fixed a type for the kernel version

Is there anybody who updated his uphuck 1.4 r3 DVD to the version 10.4.10?
What package did you use, where can i get it. How did you install, which options did you choose, did you have to back up anything?

I need to get my iphone working with OSX and need to upgrade to 10.4.10


I tried it with PASCALS combo updater yesterday but failed big time :-(

Please anybody give me a hint.
Thank you!

Just letting you know tb, your patch is working great on 10.4.10

Many thanks for all your work on this! hit me up with your PP sometime and I'll donate you a fiver or something.

Pawel.

hi devilhood
im going crazy with my dell.. i tried the last WE the kalyway installer 10.4.10 and couldnt get the sleep working, with or without second core. the hd led is shining after wake but the lcd isnt going on with natit 02 only, i see the desktopbackground with nvidiaefi and laptopdisplay but the mouse is freezing after this and hd-led is also shining the whole time.

i read my comment that i post sometime before, but this method doesnt work...

i need any ideas about my problem. i think that it is maybe the hdd?

hello!
my first instal on my dell was xp pro(c - partition 15Gb)
second instal was Vista (on D - partition 40Gb)
now i'm using "dual boot" created by Vista...

I want to instal mac osx on E partition (55Gb)...please tell me what vs of mac osx is recomandated for my configuration dell inspiron 6400/e1505 and how can I do the instal to work with all three OS...

thx a lot...

look up in the search function about triple booting with vista, there is something special you have to do because the bootloader wont work and i believe it involves the vista dvd or something...anyway give the search function a try, it has been discussed over and over..

Hi,
Some questions about the "how-to":

-Dell wireless 1500 is compatible with inspiron 9400?
-The intel wireless 3945 is PCI or PCI-E? (9400 support PCI-E?)

For people want to change their internal wireless card (on a inspiron 9400), here a guide from dell:
http://support.euro.dell.com/support/edocs...s.htm#wp1009645

bye!

now my Fingerprint scanner works with my Mac Dell see this http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=66791

Haha nice one macgirl!

Just letting you guys know that I attached a lot of files to the first post, so now a lot of the hard to get Kext's should be readily available

I also attached the 1.0.6 AppleSMBIOS along with a fully working SystemProfiler
Hardware Overview, Diagnostics, Memory and PCI Cards all report back the correct information.
The Kext is also guaranteed to work properly with all Adobe CS3 appz!

P.

Can anybody tell me how to upgrade uphuck 10.4.9 1.4i r3 to 10.4.10 please???

A quick note for ppl that are experiencing colour banding; just use Gotoh's NVinjectGo driver from now on, you don't need anything else.
If you want to enable sleep on clam-shut then you will still need to use it in-conjunction with NvidiaEFI.
This works 100% btw with no more pause on boot-up just before it logs in, and also Sleep mode still works fine!

P.

Hello, i have a dell inspiron 6400 with the next hardware

Core Duo 2050 - 1.6 Ghz
2 Gb Ram
nVidia geforce go 7300 - 256 mb
Hard Disk - 60 Gb
Intel prowireless 3945abg
Sigmatel 9200

Mac 10.4.8 (JaS 10.4.8 updating 10.4.9)
and I have a problem mi graphic card (nvidia) does not work as well as it should do it, the graphics quality are not so good, the images are pixed with the normal resolution1280 * 800, but with low quality, what could I do??

The driver card was installed with the dvd drivers JaS 10.4.8 (nVidia support)
I've a lowperformance whit my nvidia card.

tbcarey: Thanks so much for the AppleHDA subwoofer hack! It got sound working on my 6400 10.4.10 system, even though I don't have a sub. Can't wait for the headphone oriented version for us without the subwoofer!

Also: one other question. My first time through upgrading the kernel on 10.4.10 from 8.10.1 to 8.10.3, my video drivers crapped and I came up with a black screen after booting. I am sticking with the .1 kernel until I can figure out was wrong... I think it had to do with me replacing the system.kext that came with the kernel.

Thanks for all your work guys!

Yeah, there is a corrupt 8.10.3 System.kext floating around that everyone is using. Grab a fixed one from the first post in this thread, I just attached it for you
You can also get it from mac.nub's site too.

Someone might want to let irc.osx86.hu/#10.4.10 they are distro'ing a corrupt System.kext ... Maybe I'll do that later.
Are there any benefits to .3 over .1 that you guys know of?

Anyway, thanks devilhood! You rock.

EDIT: Thanks also for attaching, looks like mac.nub is experiencing some popularity... hehe.
