aidsget Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I'm on a Dell e6400 and I've got most of the things working. Sound, touchpad, wifi, keyboard, and power meter all work correctly. The only thing I have a problem with is the integrated webcam. When I first booted OSX yesterday, I assumed that the webcam was working since when I was at the User Account creation screen, it was working fine when I was taking my User Account picture. Since I thought it was working, I went on stickam to test the webcam there. No luck. So I thought I did something that broke my webcam install. I tried it on Skype, Photobooth (that doesn't even start, it says it doesn't support my graphics card), and Image Capture. None of it works with my webcam. Out of curiosity, I opened up the User Account manager, and surprisingly, the webcam still works fine there when I try to take a picture. Weird! This is the first time I've used a Mac OS really (I've been dual booting Windows and different Linux distros for years, but this is my first time with OS X). I have no idea how this is happening, or what I should do to fix it. Any help would be appreciated!

aidsget Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...4430&st=120 Nice! Now I've got everything working (keyboard, touchpad, trackpoint, audio, wireless, graphics) EXCEPT for the webcam... Can anyone help me out? Misc info: Installed using XxX Leopard 10.5.5, rolled up to 10.5.6, installed the kexts provided in this thread, then moved up to 10.5.7. On a Latitude e6400. Edit: Webcam works now! It was working all along I think. I just thought it wasn't working because it wouldn't show on stickam or photobooth. Turns out that the reason Photobooth wasn't starting was because my graphics card wasn't configured correctly. I installed NVdarwin and the Nvidia Universal Installer, and this enabled Quartz Extreme. That let me start up Photobooth. As for stickam, I just overlooked something stupid. The default camera was set up to the wrong one! I had to edit the Adobe Flash Player settings (Right click in the window>Settings>Webcam Icon>Change webcam to 'USB Video Class Video') Thanks, this thread helped me a ton! Now if I could only get sleep/shutdown to work right, this hackintosh would be perfect Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/175901-solved-dell-e6400/#findComment-1209314 Share on other sites More sharing options...
