shedo88 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hi all, this thread is about installing OS X on dell 1558 and how to enable most of the hardware. My system: Dell Studio 1558 Core i5 (430M) 2.26 GHz 6GB DDR3 1333Mhz RAM ATI Mobility HD 5470 1GB (1366x768) Use this to create a bootable installer: Installing Mavericks 10.9.x If you have MBR partition: MBR partition with ##### What’s working (last update 21-01-2014): Audio (DSDT + modified AppleHDA.kext) Temperature Sensors (KEXT) Battery/AC Status (DSDT + KEXT) Brightness (DSDT) Touchpad + Keyboard (KEXT) ATI Radeon HD5470 1 GB QE/CI (KEXT) USB (OOB) Webcam (OOB) What’s *not* working so far: FN-Keys + Special Dell Keys (Brightness/Volume) DVD-RW Drive SLEEP SLEEP on LID WLAN (I replaced it with a BCM94321) What's currently untested: External VGA Cardreader Known issues: After installing the "ATY_Init.kext" you will not see the login screen because your monitor is shown as an external VGA so you have to type your password and press enter blindly. Luckily mavericks lets you use the dock also on the external vga, so you can open the preference panel, go to monitor settings and duplicate it. You have to set your current monitor optimized as: "Monitor" and not "monitor VGA". Doing so you will have full QE/CI. Sometimes the hackintosh never shutdown or reboot (I get a white screen with a cursor and it stays white forever). Bootloader: chimera If you have any queries or suggestions please do not hesitate to reply! Attached is the dsdt file and the additional kext files needed for proper installation.

shedo88 Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Hi, Do you have any suggestions on how to solve the problem of the external monitor? Or how to make the button of the brightness and audio volume work? Thanks, Ivan Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/295470-guide-%E2%80%93-dell-1558-%E2%80%93-mavericks-1091/#findComment-1987485 Share on other sites More sharing options...
laife Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Ivan, Thanks for your drivers. Very helpful.Did you also manage to get audio through HDMI? I have an external monitor (HDMI) and i got it working with adding this to my chameleon.boot.plist : <key>GraphicsEnabler</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>AtiConfig</key> <string>Bulrushes</string> I hope this helps.

Richie_Roo Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Hi there Shedo Thanks for taking the time to write up a guide. I followed it and most stuff works great. My only snag is audio. I tried your AppleHDA.kext and HDAIDT.ket (installed using the Kext Utility supplied), but sadly... no audio. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks again for your help. Very appreciated. UPDATE VoodooHDA 2.8.4 kext installed with Kext Utility worked for sound. Also got my Magic Mouse working using DellBluetoothHCI.1.2.pkg Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/295470-guide-%E2%80%93-dell-1558-%E2%80%93-mavericks-1091/#findComment-2002518 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shedo88 Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 Hi all, Attached here is a new pack version of kexts and boot files, now I use Chameleon as bootloader. Dell 1558 v2.zip If someone wants to improve the dsdt file, I've attached the source code and utilities for development. If you will make any improvement, please let me know!

Richie_Roo Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Nice work on the updates Shedo. I've just found that 10.9.2 breaks the external monitor. I've tried replacing a few kexts that have been mentioned on other sites, but to no avail.Has anyone found a good solution?

Richie_Roo Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Updated to 10.9.3 without issue, but still the external monitor (VGA port) won't work. Worked perfectly in 10.9.1 Tried backdating AMD kexts, but it won't boot with the ones I replaced.

shedo88 Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 Sorry, but I have no idea how to fix the problem (you can try to change the chameleon configuration), ask into the forum if someone can help (use the Dev Dell 1558.zip if you'll need to edit dsdt). I have found another problem, if the monitor wake up from stop or when it is off, the result is attached (Do you have also this problem?).

Richie_Roo Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Yes, I have experienced that monitor wake problem. I cheated and just set 'Display Sleep' to never. The problem with 10.9.2 and 10.9.3 appears to affect external monitors on a range of Macs.

mohamed3ali Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Hello, i just tried your files after a mavericks install on a dell studio 1558 but now can't boot ! I used niresh version of osx installer, after 1st boot it took some time to execute some tweaks and fix permission, than i installed chameleon from your zip and replaced extra folder with yours. I used ikext to install kexts from zip. Did i missed some things ? There are some other stuff i didn't used from the v2 zip because i don't know how to lol (for example boot file) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/295470-guide-%E2%80%93-dell-1558-%E2%80%93-mavericks-1091/#findComment-2562941 Share on other sites More sharing options...
