SoulAssassyn Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Hey guys. Just wanted to say hello to the community and that I will be specifically working on the Studio series compatibilty. I believe these laptops will be amazing once they have everything up and running (emphasis on video card right now). I've got a Studio 1737 and I have vanilla Kalyway 10.5.1 on it right now. Trying to upgrade it but having a hell of a time finding places to download anything since TPB went down.

Dr. Monkey Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Hi to all. First I would like to thank everyone for their contributions to this thread they have been immensely helpful to me. I just wanted to post my experiences in hopes that they could be of some help to the community. First off my Specs studio 1535 2.0Ghz Core 2 Duo 4 GB Ram GMAX3100 Video 1200x800 screen Dell 1510 Wireless Card After having some luck with iDeneb 1.3, then promptly undoing said luck by trying the combo updater. I decided to go with iATKOS v7 (10.5.7). Understanding that the divide in upgrading seemed to be from 10.5.5 to 10.5.6 I felt starting over that hurdle was important. Steps 1. I created room for Leopard by using Vista to shrink my main partition enough to allow a 75Gb install space. 2. Booted up iATKOS, and installed with the default install options. Note:I initally added the speedstep and battery addons. This proved to be a bad idea as I ended up deleting both due to conflicts I will mention later 3. Upon reboot the vista bootloader was messed up so I ran the repair stuff from the Vista CD which fixed it in a couple of minutes. 4. Once Vista was bootable I used EasyBCD to add mac osx to the vista bootloader. 5. Hooked up an external monitor, and rebooted into OS X. Note: First try, I found that I needed to remove Voodoo Power as I mentioned above as it hung the boot. No KP but just hung. Upon deleting that, I was able to go through setup, set the sleep corner and get to the home screen. Things that worked right off the bat: Video(GMAX3100 works beautifully here, with one possible hitch - see below) Sound(this was great as I had to go through some hoops with ideneb. not sure if voodooHDA is better or worse than the old way though) wireless firewire(appeared in profiler, but didnt test it) Things not working to this point Bluetooth trackpad internal keyboard Ethernet 7. I then used the Dell Studio Post Installer V3 to install power management, Dell studio ethernet, sd card reader and I8k fan 8 Following a reboot, I then added IntelEnhancedSpeedStep.kext ( version 1.4.9). I confirmed I was getting speedstep using cpu-x http://code.google.com/p/xnu-speedstep/downloads/list 9 Last major hurdle to being reasonably functional was the trackpad/mouse not working. I used a keyboard fix installer I found to fix it. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...st&id=51410 Outstanding issues: - sleep, both how to modify dsdt to avoid sleep trick in general, and how to set up sleeping/hibernation if at all possible. - Bluetooth: I see how to do it, I just need to get it done. - HDMI out. Havent tested. Is this possible? - Fingerprint scanner. I see that is detected, but is there software to use it? - I must say chameleon bootloader looks much better than vista. Anyone know how to make it so you only see that one and only pick from it, without screwing up recovery partitions and such? Also, is there any advantage/disadvantage to using voodooHDA instead of the IDT audio included in the studio post install v3?

I've just installed Kalyway 10.5.2 (OSX86) onto my laptop Dell Studio 1537, and unfortunately it has no drivers suitable. It just works with as screen in 1024x768 (my laptop has a screen with 1280x800 for best to display), no sound, no Wi-Fi, no LAN,... (other things ? Leave them alone, I don't need them any more). But I still stried, I looked for all topics in this forum, and all posts in this topic to find the full collection of drivers for it. I can't, that's right ! There isn't any kexts suitable for me ! Please, my friends, my talents, can you help me to find out a full version of the kexts that works on Dell Studio 1537 perfectly. The things below are my laptop's sumary : - Graphic : Mobile Intel® 4 Express Chipset Family.- Sound : HDAUDIO - Intel High Definition Audio Device. - LAN : Broadcom NetLink™ Gigabit Ethernet. - Wi-Fi : Dell Wireless 1510 Wireless-N WLAN Mini-Card P/s : All your helps are so useful for me.

Dr. Monkey Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Can someone who has sucessfully used DSDT Modification to get rid of the sleep trick and/or get system sleep working please help me out by sending me or pointing me in the direction of a decompiled DSDT so I can see the source used for the fix. A compiled one would also be nice, but Id rather construct my on so I know how it works rather than rely on others too much.

Caspar201 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Hi! I'm already for 2 days trying to get my sound and other stuff working with the Dell Studio Post Installer V3, but it doesn't work. When I run the installer, repair permissions when it's finished and reboot with -f, there doesn't seem anything changed! I don't know what to do, so please can someone help me?

Caspar201 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Drummerboybac, can you boot with your power adapter connected to your computer? Cause I couldn't the first time installing hackintosh, so the second time I installed some extra drivers (x86 ACPI and something like Intel APIC SATA/IDE), but maybe they cause all my problems (because the first time, when I didn't install them, everything worked fine except that I couldn't boot with power adapter on). If you can, I'm going to do exactly the same you did because then everything I want to work will work. P.S. Did you already found a way to boot directly into the Chameleon bootloader, skipping windows bootloader?

Did you already found a way to boot directly into the Chameleon bootloader, skipping windows bootloader? I can boot with the power supply plugged in no problem, but I think having headphones plugged in will KP. Off the top of my head I took the defaults exactly from the iatkos v7 disk. In regards to the bootloader, I think it will boot to chameleon first if you set that partition as active, but dont quote me on it. Im happy to keep helping out while I try to figure out how to get sleep working. so far I have tried a modified dsdt with uhci fix manually added, as well as sleep enabler and the voodooehci kext, all with no luck. Anyone have 10.5.7 or greater working with a 1535 and x3100 graphics.?

edsterNG Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Hi everyone, I have been following this thread from the moment I bought my dell studio 1535, and thanks to all of you guys that contributed with kexts and guides for getting the studio to work, I have achieved a solid ideneb 10.5.7 installation on my 1535 with an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.1 GHz processor, x3100 graphics, the broadcom wifi card, bcm5784m ethernet and IDT audio. I was thinking of doing a fresh installation of a Snow Leopard retail with the boot 132 method by replacing my current ideneb install since I dont have an external harddrive. Has anyone succeded with a working retail snow leopard installation? if so is there any extension or bootloader tweaking required for this process? Do all of the kexts posted in the thread work for SL? Please reply and give me tips on how to make Snow Leopard work on my 1535 and give me links to any helpful guides for the installation. Thanks...

Dr. Monkey Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I've heard that some have had some luck with sl but not sure the method.

That is the one thing not working for me, using the methodology I spelled out above By solid install i sorta ment that I have almost everything working, so no, sleep doesnt work for me but I am really looking forward to it. Bluetooth isnt working either but I dont mind having it coz I got one of those cheap bluetooth dongles anyways. Sorry for the typo misunderstanding.

I'm on the same boat. Using this post http://www.insanelymac.com/2009/08/how-to-...-pc-hackintosh/ I'm able to boot in leopard, but I can't get to load the kexts. Also, in 64bit mode I'm stuck in a lower resolution. Somewhere I read that the x3100 was supported by default in 32 bit mode (no mod/kext/sleep trick needed), but I haven't been able to boot in 32 bit mode either. We should start a thread on the Snow Leopard/ Intallations Guides and "How's to" Section exclusively for the Dell Studio. Or update this thread to snow leopard installation.
