cdyFlorian Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Hello everybody, these are my Kexts to run Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion on a Dell Precision M4400 with Nvidia Quadro FX 770M. What works: - Nvidia Card - Sound & Mic - Trackpad & Keyboard - Ethernet, Bluetooth & Wlan - Firewire - SDHC Not working: - Sleep - Shutdown Not tested: Webcam, Smartcard Reader Instructions: - Install the Kexts from the "SLE" Folder into System/Library/Extensions with Kext Wizard - Move The "Extra" to /(ML Volume) - Run the myHack Application -> "Run myFix" -> "/(ML Volume)" -> "Full" and wait a couple of Minutes. - Boot with ML Enjoy :-) http://www.osx86.net...sion_m4400.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdyFlorian Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 I used the actual Chimera Bootloader and replaced the IOPCIFamily.kext from SLE into System/Library/Extensions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kahuna0k Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Do you have working C-states with this configuration? I mean does the AppleLPC kext loads correctly? Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatinMcG Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 dells always say LPC config error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightalon Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Would you mind specifying what you did to get the GPU working? I used to have the 770M until my motherboard was replaced and Dell gave me a 1700M. I think I need (likely) to mod the NVHAL kext with the proper DevID, and (possibly) a GFX string in my chameleon.plist as well. Did you generate your DSDT.aml using 4 GB RAM and Bios A27? Otherwise I will have to re-do my DSDT file. (Easy, but I'm still having trouble booting... :-( ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdyFlorian Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 Hello, i have edited the NVhal, Geforce and NVDAResman.kext You can try the same and insert in IOPCIMatch "0x065a10de&0xffe0ffff" for your 1700M. The DSDT was extracted with 4 GB Ram and the A27 Bios, but i still have trouble with sleep & Shutdown :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightalon Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I tried everything you said, with and without DSDT. No dice: the GUI won't load. I think I'm going to start from scratch using Tony's USB method. Do you think there's any reason I should be using MyHack instead? Also, wouldn't it be better to get the GPU working using Chimera/Chameleon and GraphicsEnabler? You include a lot of kexts, but the ones that are simply needed to get the system to boot I think are IOPCI and then the PS2 kexts, right? I guess AppleFakeSMC and NullCPUPM as well. I'm not sure all of the P-states and C-states you configured are helping me boot :-( At least it looks as though Power Management is ultimately possible!

nightalon Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 In other words, what are the minimal edits needed to get Tony's method working? It seems GraphicsEnabler isn't working without some sort of kext edit or injection. Would a reversion to the 10.7.0 GPU kexts be a good next move? I'll try to edit the devids again.... UPDATE: workin' on it. The first thing I noticed is that 10.8.1 doesn't have a Geforce.kext by default. So I'm leaving it out for now. Windows says the FX1700M has a devID of 10DE, 065A, subsys 02501028&REV_A1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nh_wombat Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I'm working on getting ML on to my m4400 with a 1700m graphics card as well. We're you able to figure out a solid method? Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
