AppleIntel8254x.kext can be edited to fit 82566, they're similar, just edit a few values like those Rx / Tx limits, and then you're done. I'm not sure if this works.

I mean, even the device ID's:

0x10008086
0x104b8086

Differ by only two measly digits. In the back of the number, too.


I dont know if this is true, the kext cannot be hacked by simply adding the device ID, the problem begin since the initialization routine, the eprom canot be readed with the original 8254x code major hacking of the code is nedded and very few people here is able to deal with drivers, maybe orByte or Jalavoui could help.

Nirmalya i see that your Sigmatel 9227 is not working. Have you tried http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act...st&id=18377 and deleted AppleAzalia.kext? works for me on leopard and after changing Boost from 0 to 3 in kext rear mic works too.

Oh, I don't use that board anymore. It was not working at a point. So I decided to go for a new board. Now the Sound works, LAN doesn't sad.gif . I forgot to update my signature tongue.gif

Has anyone found any further information about the audio not working on the xps 410 under Leopard ? Last I knew the current HDA patchers (version 1.12 - 1.20) will not work with leopard and the Sigmatel 9227 dump file.

does anyone have VMM (Virtual Machine Monitoring) turned on in their bios?

I have it turned off, and parallels says that it is running in 'software mode2'..

when i turn VMM on, parellels says that it is using full/hardware virtualisation - or something like that..

the only problem, is that my system become unstable with VMM turned on..

i'm kinda thinking that i may need to reinstall osx with VMM turned on to get it to work - like when windows is installed with hyperthreading it only installs the hal that it matches the hardware description it detects.. if you disable hyperthreading then it will installl a version of windoes that doesn't support it..

BTW i'm using uphuck 10.4.9 1.4i r3 and i have a Dimension 9200 Quad w/4GB ram..

What exactly do you have to do in the console besides chmod and chown? How do you remove the mkext? Can you please post the exact terminal lines that needs to be typed? I have used them before, but they did not work.

If VMware Fusion could interface directly with the hardware instead of OS X, then we could build a virtual network bridge between a mini-XP system on VMF and Leopard/Tiger, creating a not-so-fast crude internet....
But that's stupid...

If you are talking about the VT features of your Intel CPU, a reinstall shouldn't be necessary.
This sounds like a problem more with Parallels. I would try Fusion and see if the problem persists with it too.

Anyone having reliability problems with Kalyway 10.5.1?

I installed it on my XPS 410. Used Vanilla and GUID with EFI. After the system sits idle for a while and I come back and do something simple, like click an icon on the desktop I get the spinning beach ball. Eventually I can do nothing but power off the system manually.

This has happened with a couple of different clean installs of Kalyway 10.5.1.

Does anyone face trouble with videocard's fan?
My videocard on my XPS 410 is a Geforce 7900 GS.
The fan is always at full speed making a quiet disturbing noise... wacko.gif
I faced the same problem with all Leopard releases (I am currently under Kalyway) but also under Vista.
Under XP, the fan boosted at full speed only when needed (mainly 3D applications), which was for me a normal situation.
I am afraid is linked to the Geforce drivers and more unfortunately to the videoacard bios.

Any idea to solve that?

From what I've read, I think your CPU doesn't support vanilla, but I'm not really sure.

Does anyone know of an out of the box working NIC that I can order easily, say from Newegg.com? Or anything that works that I can go pick up from Best Buy or Wal-Mart? tongue.gif (For Leopard 10.5.1)

Thats ok man no worries. I got my sound finally working in my xps 410 without havin to buy another sound card. Right now I have my cable modem plugged in to the xps to get internet...so I have no problem waiting.

Sorry to hear about your troubles bigdaddyrob2g. I can understand why your getting frustrated with us but I think most of us have already decided to temporarily replace our NIC Cards with something that works. I'd just take it with a pinch of salt and worry about your other problems; they seem more important at the moment.

In our country they say about this: it's like a paper that has been folded: you can unfold it again but the original marks will still be visible and if you fold it again there's a huge chance it will use the same marks again...

Hi everyone,

Back with a lot of questions!

I have installed Kalyway 10.5.1 and now I face new issues although everyting works more or less.
- Mute function doesn't work (AppleHDA Patcher 1.16 + Sigmatel 9227 Dump)
- Videocard (Geforce 7900GS) with NVinject 0.2.1 but fan works at full speed as if 3D applications turn... Weird?
- How can I activate SpeedStep?
- Shutdown is randomly works, why?
- How get ICH8R drivers working?

It could be great if many from us can describe the way they optimize our XPS 410.

My configuration:
Dell XPS 410
Videocard: 7900GS
2Go Ram
Core2Duo 2,13GHz
2*250 Go HDD
Realtek Card for Internet/Network

Thanks in advance for your feedbacks

From what I have heard (and I have 3 people in my family who do body work) if the frame is cracked then the frame is worthless.

There's not much that can be done at that point to salvage the car.

Can you guys tell me what you did to get it running USB 2.0..

..BTW I'm running uphuck 1.4i r3 (10.4.9)

cheers..

..also, just tried AppleHDApatcher and dump for the 9227, but can''t get the mic to work.. has anyone managed to get it to work?
