Josh K. Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Hi! Thanks for the tutorial, on my E6400 i nearly got it running because of this. Beside a missing Battery-Icon (and of course Touchpad and Bluetooth) i experience a really bad graphics performance - I think no Quartz... The resolution of 1440x900 works but it's too slow even for playing a DVD or using photobooth - external VGA is working but not in Mirror mode (laptop display black)... I installed iaktos, then upgraded to 10.5.6...I use the kexts for nic and external vga plus the two HDA-kext's (except the external vga from the initial post). The rest comes from the iaktos (nvidia mobile plus ahci selected...) Does anyone have a idea how to troubleshoot the battery-icon and the lousy graphics performance? I tried deleting several kext's and reinstalling them... no progress Regards, Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weirdo81622 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I used iDeneb 10.5.5 to install OSX, everything went fine. Some users here report that their internal microphones are working. After installing the AppleHDA and HDAEnabler kexts and removing the AppleAzalia kext (per suggestions on other threads), my microphone still is not working, however, my audio is. I also tried an external mic, but OSX did not recognize it either (through mic-in port), but i'm not 100% sure that its compatible with OSX anyway. Thanks for any help/advice on the microphone issue.

chicman Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Hi all, It's nice to see u talented guys looking for kexts for new Latitude. I tried hard few month ago, but gave up since the 5100 b/g/n didn't comes with a proper kext. The stock build-it NIC shouldl be Intel 82567, and dingguinjin wrote a 82566 kext which works perfectly also, so, give it a try. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=128931 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rev0jace Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I have tried everything from Kalyway, iAKTOS and iDeneb and so far the best results I have obtained was w/ iDeneb and the NIC driver attached here. I cannot get the touch pad up, audio nor wireless "1397" to work properly. At this time either my new company can buy me a Mac book or just deal w/ the fact that I am a Ubuntu/Vista user unless one of you have been able to make some magic happen.

Pendekar Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Guys, nice to see there's some progress you guys made on your hack, mainly on the vga side. Anyhow, I've got a problem with vga. Somehow, my vga now detects as Geforce 8500GT instead of Quadro NVS and of course QE was not supported. I've tried installing new kext but somehow it didn't work. Any workaround for this guys? Any help is very much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weirdo81622 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I ran into the same problem. Here's how to fix it. So you can't boot into OSX? Were you ever able to do it? If so, try reinstalling OSX. When you start it up the first time, immediately go to the /usr/standalone/i386 (or something like that...im not exactly sure of the path, but you're aiming for the i386 folder). Copy the "chain0" file to a flash drive or something, then restart and attempt to start windows. if it does, great, if not, you'll have to burn a boot CD with linux (almost anything will do), and use that to set the windows partition to active (i'm assuming you're doing a dual boot here). Boot into windows, and download EasyBCD. Add an entry to the bootloader for Mac OS, and copy the chain0 file into C:\. Restart, select the mac partition, and it should work.

RookieDDZ Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Hi guys, mac noob here but I'm a big hardware guy on the PC side. I got only three questions... 1. My installs for mac 10.5 are failing. The install you go through the welcome screen and installing. But it looks like at 99% finished, it says the install failed. I have tried Kalyway, iAtkos, and now iDeneb. Kaly is the only one that gives me some type of real error message, but I don't remember it. Something about a kernel or a bad cd. Could all my iso be bad? seems farfetched. 2. What kernel and other custom items do we add for the install? I don't think that was mentioned in the first post about the guide. Maybe I'm missing a key part and it's forcing a fail. 3. Has anyone installed using IRRT for the hard drive bios? I have my vista setup with IRRT and I cannot switch back and forth. I can hack the ini to ACHI, but I rather keep it at IRRT. This is the least of my concerns. I just rather see MAC load correctly. *EDIT* I got my E6400 to boot with IRRT. I don't think I can switch back a forth, but I don't mind. Thanks guys... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weirdo81622 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 My Specs: Processor: Core 2 Duo T9600 2.8 Ghz HDD: 160 GB @ 7200RPM RAM: 4 GB DDR2 Graphics: Nvidia Quadro NVS 160M Wifi: Intel Wifi 5100 Bluetooth: NO Screen: 14" 1440x900 LED Battery: 9 Cell Keyboard: Backlit Webcam+Mic: Yes The deal with the WiFi-- After about a month of dealing with eithernet cables, I just went and bought a dell 1397 card on ebay (about $15) and plugged it into the Wi-Max slot. Not a super-easy thing, as the slot is full height and the card is half-height, but it works. Alternatively, just swap it out for the Intel card if you want. What still doesn't work for me: Trackpad (Touchpad) - Really a nagging issue. I've spent literally hours looking through various ApplePS2Trackpad kexts for ALPS trackpads. Everything fails to work correctly, but I've pinpointed the issue: the trackpad is simply extremely sensitive. If we could find some way to fix that, we would be all set. [NOTE: the built-in Trackpad PrefPane DOES NOT help] Sleep/Wake - Computer is never fully able to wake up from sleep. Not a huge issue, though. Shutdown/Restart - Proper shutdown of all components EXCEPT motherboard occurs - however, full turn-off requires holding down power button for a few seconds. Does anyone have any good solutions for the trackpad issue? Any further stuff I can try to work with? I'm really desperate, so I'll try pretty much anything.

Doomi Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 After some experimentation i figured out what REALLY fixes the Trackpad. After posting the information about the ps2 kexts, i rebooted my computer off the docking station while trying to fix sleep (which i have sucessfully- minus the ability to have it sleep when you close the lid), after which the trackpad resumed spazzing. Long story short, i discovered that if you turn the laptop on, boot into OSX, THEN dock it, the trackpad will act normally. Now, onto fixing the audio so it outputs from the headphones and getting dual monitors to work.... After some experimentation i figured out what REALLY fixes the Trackpad.

dinsdale Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Regarding the Touchpad - I had problems on Linux too with this touchpad. Side scrolling would work until the driver crashed and fell back on a "generic" driver without acceleration. Apparently the Syntaptics Touchpad has a weired 9 byte code it sends which confuses the current alps driver. It would be already great to have the generic driver working (without acceleration) under MacOSX. I still have problems getting Quartz Extreme to work. I tried all the suggestions in the forum but nothing seems to change. There is little information to the NVS 160m card which apparently uses a 9300 GS chipset. Here is what happens in a dmesg output. It gets proped by NVDarwin although I deleted the NVDarwin.kext in my Extension Directory. Can anyone give me some advice here please, I'm getting frustrated?
