V1.3 should be the last build i make. If someone (serious) is interrested to continue and improve this project, PM me.

GET INVOLVED!!
I need Configuration Files for 2-fingers Support (com.apple.driver.ApplePS2Trackpad.plist) to improve this package. If you set your own files correctly, please contribute, attach it here.
Trackpads actually supported:
- Inspiron 9400
- XPS M1330/1530
- D630 (by zitounec)
- XPS M1710 (by Fr3aks)

*not tested: I've tested installation process and scripts, but not on related hardware.

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

Hi and thanks.

I've already specified that into installer.

Hi,
which are the dell's laptop supporting 2 fingers scrolling?

Thank you very much sonotone

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

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

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

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.

Micman

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?

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.

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

Howdy,

XPS M1530

Don't know what touchpad I have. is there a 'lspci' equivalent I can run on OSX?

Kalyway 10.5.2

For PCI devices DPCI Manager: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...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).

ioreg output part of interest:

That's the driver being used...

edit ***

Had to boot in to Linux just to make sure...
device is a AlpsPS/2

the dell that i have

Dell inspiron E1505

has:
core duo t2700 (1.66gh)
synaptics touchpad
nvidia go 7300 (had to take out ATI X1400)
sigmatel 9200 (AppleHDA patcher stops leopard from fully shutting down)

using vanilla kernel. only things i used was AppleHDAPatcher and NVinject

using Leopard 10.5.2

Hullo, could you maybe add Dell 1525 to the list? I'm using the (dreaded) GMA X3100 Anyway, here's my config:

Install Kalyway 10.5.1, updated to 10.5.2 with Kaly Combo Update
GMA X3100, ONLY works on EXTERNAL monitor. 1680 * 1050 * 32. Full QE/CI (total blank on internal monitor. why won't it run on 1440 * 900 when capable of 1680 is beyond me). Already tried natit.kext but didn't work, don't want to use the sleep trick

Marvell Yukon 88E8040 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller <VEN_11AB&DEV_4354> (couldn't find any kext on the forum yet)
After editing IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleYukon.kext/Contents/Info.plist, the Ethernet was detected!!! Success was short lived - status shows "Ethernet cable not plugged in" regardless of it connected or not Profiler shows ethernet is present complete with IP address, but I couldn't access my router 192.168... so the NIC is still not properly initialized.

Single user mode saved my life many times now, after (really) countless of erase and installs of Leopard, I really loathe GMA X3100

It looks like. I'm already looking for, but what a mess to implement X3100 support in installer. I readed lot of thinks about, with many contradictions, and each laptop seems to need a specific solution.

Any reports on how this plays with the M1730?


Edit: Ok, in my case it still doesn't get me around the video card issues I've got. Oh well.

Sorry for the newb question, but how do I repair my permissions?

spotlight->disk utility->repair permissions

Diskutil repairs permission for the whole disk (slower), this method only repairs /System/Library/Extensions (alot faster, assuming that you only edited file located here)
1. sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions
2. sudo chown -R 0:0 /System/Library/Extensions
3. sudo rm -R /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
4. restart
Correct me if I'm wrong, you can skip step 3 if you key in -f during the next reboot

@ sonotone, Just to confirm all the kext are installed to /Inspiron/ rite? Not /system/library/extensions/ ?

Sound from the package does not work, HDApatcher + dump also didn't work. Taruga's STAC9228_0x83847616.zip only manage to enable the icon (mute, vol up/down) but no sound comes out.

No, this is back-up of your old kexts (replaced by installer).


Check if AppleAzalia.kext is still in your Extensions folder; and remove it (i think i forgot to put this script in latest version).

Yup, double check with spotlight, no such kext (maybe Kalyway doens't have this). Manually search with the closest result: AppleAPIC.kext and AppleBacklight.kext. If it's there, it should be between those 2 (alphabatically)
My audio is SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC STAC9228
VEN_8384&DEV_7616

I've also attached a modified IONetworking.kext. It kinda works (shows up in Network, Profiler), but shows "Network cable unplug" regardless of cable connection
It's a Marvell Yukon 88E8040 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller with VEN_11AB&DEV_4354

UPDATE 15th June: There is currently NO working solution for the 88E8040. I've already tried editing the 88E8039 plist (AppleYukon), that didn't work and the AppleYukon2 (attatchment below) also didn't do the trick. And if you're wondering, it's not the PCIe bus issue affecting some Acer models. So if you really can't live without ethernet, I'd suggest you to get a USB ethernet dongle. It's cheap and it'll probally work, here's a link for more info: http://www.sustworks.com/site/news_usb_ethernet.html

Same ID as the one used for installer. Go to audio-midi configuration, maybe a wrong audio device is checked.

Did profiler show built in audio? Mine didn't. Now this is really strange. Since I couldn't get audio working with kext helper, I did everything manually (taruga's applehda and inject). After reboot I got audio, volume up/down (maybe because I didn't do diskutil repairpermissions / when using kext helper), mute button doesn't work though.
Went to midi config in Utilities and tested speaker configuration, got a loud static hissing (is it suppose to give that sound or music instead?). Just to confirm my audio works, I reboot and... find out that audio is GONE again.

That's all I can manage for today, will have to continue tomorrow (guess I'll be having nightmares 6 nites in a row )

Tried fixing the battery meter, it worked but media keys went haywire and sleep changed to restart (changed the safe sleep stuff).
After login, internal mobo speaker gives warning (don't know what it means), so I reboot into Vista. HWMonitor shows the processor -16 C min (impossible since I'm living in a tropical country) and 98 C max (not F). Wow, Intel specs at their website specifies a max of 100 C for my processor, thermal diode must've kicked in... I'm lucky. Won't be touching power related kext again, ever.

UPDATE: The culprit was Sleep, not Sonotone's package.

I'm not having much luck on my XPS M1330

-I install iATKOS 1.0i
--EFI
--SMBIOS
--NTFS
--ext2fs

Working without sound or network

-Run the KalywayIntelCombo10.5.2 update, which works fine but still without sound or network

-Install Build 0.2.2
--NVidia 8xxx Series
--Sigmatel 9228
--Apple SMBios (both items ticked)
--Brittish Keyboard
--XPS M1330 2 finger scrolling

Fix permissions as per fusionlance's instructions OSX no longer boots, I get screen telling me to reboot with power icon on back of window...

Any ideas?

Sorry but i quote myself (first post):

"TESTERS: Please give your laptop model (and Hardware), release used, and Kernel installed.
A step by step installation will be better to report each section problem.
Thanks."

Anyway, i think you lost your Applesmbios by choosing both of them, but maybe i'm wrong.
If you can boot in Verbose mode (type -v in bootloader options) and take a picture of the screen with error message. Also try -x option (safe mode boot).



What do you mean by "Tried fixing the battery meter": manually or with installer?
It's strange cause there is no shared kexts/files between battery meter and media keys.
Also, i removed AppleACPIThermal.kext inside AppleACPIPlatform.kext to prevent high temperatures problems. But if you are in Tropical environement and CPU is working hard, maybe it's a "normal" issue, assuming that PC laptops are significantly warmer when they are running OSX (especially whitout speedstep kernel)

Which video card does your m1730 has?


If you read the thread of the Guide I made you will see a lot of post with these audio issues, some users came with sound after sleep, some booting on Battery (no AC adapter connected), I also experienced lost sound if I booted on windows first (but after botting twicen in Mac OS X I got sound).

Remember that the 9228 kext is experimental.


Is not just the SpeedStep kernel, it also need the speedstep kext and the speedstep app. kernel alone makes no difference.

"I must admit that I find that you are being what you might call just a little picky"

Hey. I've got the 2 x 256 mb nVIDIA GeForce 8700M GT cards. Is that enough detail?

Not really, it is beacuse users can be misinformed, and they could say "you say that with speedstep kernel I will get more battery or less heat".

Kind of disclaimer you know

Would it be possible to either alter the tree structure like follows:

XPS M1330
-GFX
--NVidia 8xxx Series
--Intel
-Sigmatel 9228
-Keyboard Layouts
--British
--French
-2 Finger Scrolling

Or add model numbers that patches are applicable to for each item please?

Why not, but actually i don't know how to use the same file in differents tree locations.
example: if i make a tree structure like:

XPS M1330
- 2 fingers
Inspiron 9400
- 2 fingers

I need to store files twice, and the outcome is a unecessary heaviness of the package.
It's possible using specifics scripts, like to create a temp folder where all files are stored, then, following user choises, to move them in desired folders.
But i must to start again from beginning.
I don't want include GFx files for now, because it's a advanced and very specific stuff witch can make your system unusable.



Yes, i will improve informations about that. Hovewer, users should to know their hardware before running that kind of packages.

I have a Dell XPS M1530

Installed Kalyway 10.5.1 ISO
I had to move the Apple Power Manager KEXT and the NVDA KEXT to make the system boot.

When trying to start the DellPackage.0.2.3 and I get the message "you use an old version Only for Leopard

gNOMEintheRedHat

Is there any possibility that you can develop a driver for Yukon Ethernet?
Connection rate by Airport is really slow....
Thanks in tons!

Kalyway 10.5.2 here
Dell 1520
bought a dell wireless 1390 card thats recognized as airport
most utilities work, x11 does not
bolded applies to me above

PS: F*ck the x3100

tried to install on my dell xps m1330, started up in safe mode (for some reason, this is the only mode i can load osx in) and installed the 2 finger scroll and battery package. restarted and upon restart, osx would no longer load. it just gave me the grey apple loading screen and then a circle with a line through it above that after about a minute. had to uninstall and reinstall osx

Build 0.2.3:
- Add Sigmatel 9205 prepatched kexts.

yo

i installed the build 0.2.3 on my dell vostro 1700 to see if it would work.

i installed sigmatel 9205 first and it didnt work so i installed all the sound kexts. then i also installed the british keyboard, fix disk permission.

and neither worked!

so now i still have no sound and the an added extra the track pad is not working on my dell vostro 1700.

could you please help to fix the track pad and the sound. (the track pad just goes mental when you touch it... and slowly goes up to the top left corner... very annoying)

is there going to be an installer made for the Vostro series and not just XPS and inspiration series?

hope you can help

thanks

Boom!

Sounds strange, it define minimum target for 10.5.0... Try the 0.2.2b to see if you have the same issue.


Battery meter is only for 10.5.2 (it's specified into installer). Maybe you ran it with 10.5.1



You have to open "international" to check british keyboard.
Vstro users seem's to have issues with 2-fingers. I recommend to visit Ranova thread for furthers informations.
Sigmatel 9205 kexts comes from a Vostro 1700 owner, so it's supppose to work with yours, but maybe something goes wrong with installer. Did you saw the sound icon in menu bar?
There is a link here to a small package with only sigmatel 9205 kexts, can you try it and give me a report (if it's doesn't works, try to remove AppleHDA.kext and ALCinject.kext (in Extensions folder) before to install.

9205: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act...st&id=25541

Dell XPS m170

Intel pro 2200BG wireless
Broadcom 570x gigabit network
Dell wireless 350 Bluetooth internal card
Sigmatell c-major audio

Does any of those work?
and how do i get the new drivers into the .ISO?

Did you try to boot in Verbose Mode (-v) to watch for errors and warnings?

Can anyone confirm if the sound and battery installations work for the Kalyway install for dellxps m1530?

ok the british keyboard is still checked and still the trackpad is not working? and i dont really want to try Ronava's thread as if it doesnt work i have to use and external keyboard and mose to fix it... seems alot of hassle ;-)no sound card visable? will try this link and get back to you.Boomthe sound is now working.... since using the direct installer ;-) thanks.but the track pad is still not working.Boom!

This will be very useful for a friend of mine.... thanks brother

pabs :devil:
