This is truly a piece of art! 

[Gringo Vermelho]

it's a work by surrealist René Magrittte, 1964 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_Magritte

 

it's the hackintosh version of his more famous work "ceci n'est pas une pipe"

Ceci n'est pas une Mac  (powered by GV)

 

Hahah..except the way my current project is heading its more like "powered by Rehabman"

[buoo]

Are you hacking a laptop?

[Gringo Vermelho]

Yep.. I got an old Thinkpad T61 for free. Initially I put 64-bit Windows 7 on it, which runs really well. But now that I've got a spare 2.5" hard drive to play with..it's Hackintosh time.

It's a Santa Rosa platform with X3100 graphics and a 2.1 GHz T8100 CPU, just like the MacBook4,1. It has Firewire, the entire optical drive can be ejected and replaced with a hard drive, it has a nice 1280x800 display and a tiny, hotkey activated lamp that illuminates the keyboard! I've never owned a laptop. You should see this thing, it's built to go into a warzone or something. I like it a lot. It needs a new battery but otherwise it's perfect. It looks great too, especially now that I put an Apple sticker on it lol

 

I swapped (it had an unsupported Intel card) and rebranded the wifi, a Broadcom BCM4322, it works right away and shows up as Airport Extreme and everything. My first 'hardware hack'. The factory BIOS from Lenovo has a wi-fi card blacklist but there's a modified BIOS available with no blacklist and a few other improvements. It almost feels like I've joined an ancient cult or something, there are dedicated sites and forums out there for the T61, apparently they were very popular. There's a model exactly like mine except with Nvidia Quadro graphics that can run Yosemite. But I have to stick with 10.7.5 because of the X3100. There's a gross hack that makes it possible to run Mountain Lion on it but I figured I have enough challenges as it is.

 

Yes, currently using Rehabman's VoodooPS2, ACPI backlight and ACPI battery drivers as well as a couple of his DSDT patches, so a big thank you to Rehabman for everything.

 

Rehabman doesn't release anything in 32-bit lately (I don't blame him) so I have to compile everything myself, it's a real trip. ever had three drivers loading in debug mode at the same time? Initially everything compiled in debug mode, spamming the logs. Until I figured it out lol. And all the battery code in DSDT had to be converted to 8-bit calls to work with the ACPI battery driver and I was about to give up while trying to do it by hand when I discovered by accident that there's a patch for a different Thinkpad laptop in his repo that seems to work for the T61. So battery is done I think.

 

At first FSB was detected at 184Mhz but I came across an antique patch for Chameleon's cpu.c that I somehow managed to apply by hand to the latest Chameleon SVN source - thankfully cpu.c hasn't changed much over the years - and now I've got 199Mhz.. it's not 200 but every bit helps. Also I have to use VoodooTSCsync.kext.

 

Sleep works, both w. sleep/power button and lid close/open, but CPU and GPU power management still needs work and there's, uh, lets say "a couple of issues" with the X3100 graphics that I'm slowly working through:

 

LCD backlight control doesn't work (or it "works" but is erratic/useless). I'm loading the first SSDT table which contains the backlight code and ACPIBacklight.kext is clearly picking up on it but something is missing or wrong, or both.

Occasional corruption on LCD display - funky, stuck "ghost" icons (they disappear on res change) and stuck, half-zoomed out application windows (probably a GPU power management issue)

Display corruption (more like complete destruction really) on both displays when connecting an external display and clicking "detect displays"

Black screen when attempting to inject anything graphics related lol

No rotation for external display (when it decides to work at all)

The FakeSMC GPU monitor plugin for the X3100 does not attach to the X3100. duh

Phantom "display" appearing in IOREG - get this: OUTSIDE the GFX0 device.

 

It's a bit of a challenge trying to apply modern methods to an old PC like the T61 but I'm getting there. I think I'll have to ask Rehabman for help at some point but I don't want to bother him just yet

[buoo]

Wow! From poetry to noel, Gringo   

 

You are making good!

The wifi blacklist is a pain in the ass, to bypass it I had to swap the wifi card on the fly just after the "beep". I risked to damage it but it worked.

[Micky1979]

I have a HP laptop dv6225el at Home with x3100, the OS is 10.7.5.

Is not mine, but it is a hackintosh I made some time ago for a friend and He lent me to do some tests with Pandora.

It work really good..

 

Good logo

Hey GV, this is your new avatar/member title too:

Haha, of course I'll change avatar as a my reward once I get this damn x3100 to work right.

Sorry but it's been a long time since I did this Hack , and as you already said boot in 32 bit...hope it help

[buoo]

Haha, of course I'll change avatar as a my reward once I get this damn x3100 to work right.

 

You can't change that stupid bucket of ice cream

[Gringo Vermelho]

Of course I can buoo. I'm a Supervisor. I can blow up the whole forum if I want to

 

Thanks Micky. I chose MacBook4,1 because it's practically identical to the T61 but I'll try MacBook3,1 and see what happens.

I'm trying to get as far as I can with the x3100 on unmodified 10.7.5 drivers. it should be possible.

 

If I'm not mistaken a fake id (from Desktop version?) is injected by the bootloader (chameleon) about this graphics card

 

Here, System Profiler says Device ID:0x2a02 + Revision ID:0x000c, both are the real IDs of the device as you can see below. I'm not using any injection for the x3100 at the moment besides the PNLF device. All attempts to inject anything so far through GFX0 has resulted in a black screen.

 

Anyway, look what I found. Let's compare

Hmmmm the plot thickens....thanks for making me look at this again I wonder if injecting the Apple subsystem ID would help anything.

[Micky1979]

Two or more years ago I chose mb3,1 because the processor and you have the one most similar to the real mb4,1. I do not think this makes big difference for video card anyway. Still think that backlight ACPI calls are the secret. GenericBrightness.kext probably is the mandatory among dsdt patch that had make it working this system, but Apple subsystem was not necessary here.

If you need some dump, do not hesitate to ask, I'll have a few more days this Lappy available.

[Gringo Vermelho]

Thanks for the dumping offer, I can't think of anything right now though. I collected a bunch of X3100 DSDT patches from various laptops already but as I said anytime I try to inject anything I just end up with a black screen. This is the most important issue to solve I think. The T61 community is not of much help, I haven't asked them for advice yet but from what I've seen so far everybody is using patched X3100 kernel extensions or older versions from Snow Leopard and I'd like to avoid that.

 

One question though, do you see the "Invalid firmware max brightness setting" message during boot?

 

The main puzzle is the way that the X3100 is represented by two separate devices, as you can see above. The T61 DSDT also reflects that and I think that it confuses the hell out of the OS X X3100 driver. From looking at the LSPCI output we can see that the X3100 in the T61 is practically identical to the one used in the MacBook4,1. But the MacBook4,1 DSDT declares a single device only. Hmm....

 

What's more, the T61 DSDT is complicated by a ton of code that deals with the docking system that's available for it. The dock code is weaved into everything. I'm hesitant to remove that code because I'd like to get one some day. My first idea was that the duplicate X3100 code is for when the T61 is plugged into the dock but I had my doubts from the start because - why would the internal display (LCD0 device) need to be declared in the code for the dock, and why is the DVI port that only exists on the dock declared in both as well? I'm having second thoughts about this now that you made me look at the LSPCI output again.

 

In the codebox below is the T61's first SSDT table with the backlight code in it, as you can see everything that the ACPIBacklight driver wants is there, but there are two portions of code, one for each of the two X3100 devices.

So far the driver loads and attaches itself to LCD0 and I get the transparent brightness symbol when I use the brightness hotkeys, but nothing changes. If I don't load the driver, brightness changes but it's "wrong" Obviously the values are offset somewhere. I know about the patch to the native Apple backlight driver but I'd really like to get it working with ACPIBacklight. I think I'm nearly there.

I dated a borderline schizophrenic once, this is starting to remind me of her.

[bronxteck]

maybe you can look at the d630 low res boot pack we put together a while ago. kinda similar specs to the t61 maybe you can find something in there to help you. i don't recall all the fixes as it's been so long. Dell_Latitude_D630_Intel-lion.zip should be a whole extra folder.

 

hah seems we also had a t61 boot pack for snow.Lenovo_ThinkPad_XT_61_Intel_X3100-sl.zip

[buoo]

Hey old guard!

Any news?

[Gringo Vermelho]

The T61 is right here on the table next to me. It's getting better but still not there yet. I had to take a break to work on something else but I try to collect some info every day.

This is starting to remind me a lot of the old days when my avatar was a blue plane with a spoon on it.

 

There's a bug in the BIOS of the T61 that sets the FSB to 182 Mhz instead of 200. The RAM is 607 Mhz instead of 667 etc (of course Windows 7 happily ignores that bug and works perfectly) I mentioned earlier that I found a patch for the Chameleon cpu.c source file that was supposed to correct that which I somehow managed to apply by hand to latest svn, but it caused crackly sound, I suspect because the patch was only forcing Chameleon to report a 200MHz FSB to the OS but not actually physically changing the FSB.

 

Legacy Clover does succeed in setting the FSB to 199Mhz but Clover and its "autoconfiguring" confuses the hell out of me and some of the tools for it don't work on 32-bit Lion. I'm experimenting with it on a flash drive. I had it installed to the system drive but I could not find the HFS+ EFI driver for Clover so none of the changes I made in the Clover menu would stick because it couldn't write to its own configuration file. lol

 

CPU power management is definitely weird. The CPU will not stay at the highest multiplier when running under full load, like compiling on both cores.

The original CPUpm SSDT tables don't work, I can only get P- and C-states going with GenerateCStates and GeneratePStates set to yes and dropping the native CPUpm SSDT tables.

 

FileNVRAM.dylib is not working correctly for me.

 

I have a strange issue with the arcade emulator MAME where it will refuse to run, say Moon Patrol any faster than 50% speed in a window while the same game unthrottles to 223% in full screen mode!

It's not the emulator itself because it was working at one point but I don't remember anymore what system configuration I was using.

 

I still need to figure out how to get the SSDT backlight code to work with ACPIBacklight.kext. I've made some "progress", after moving the PNLF method into the same code section that holds the X3100 code, the driver now complains about invalid data in one of the brightness control methods.

 

I was finally able to get X3100 injection working through DSDT and ditch natit.kext. The X3100 needs a display profile override (the driver seems to randomly lose track of the LCD display's EDID data) and certain parameters injected, still not sure which ones exactly make it work, behavior is still erratic, under rare conditions that I haven't been able to pinpoint yet, the X3100 driver causes a kernel panic.I need to take notes and compare to track that down. It does behave for the most part, I have both mirror and extended desktop working now and I haven't seen display corruption in a long time.

 

I used an EDID dump from Windows 7 and Andy's FixEDID to make the display profile, but first I had to figure out how to fix the build settings of the xcode project because otherwise I'd be without kernelcache. The displaymergenub.kext that gets generated by FixEDID kept getting omitted from the cache because of "invalid code signing". I had to compile one with the codesigning issue fixed and then drop the info.plist from the autogenerated kext inside. Why is it always like this lol   

 

I found out what the duplicate DSDT code for the graphics device does. I believe it's for the super deluxe monster version of the Thinkpad docking system that has a PCI-E slot where you can plug in a real video card. 

 

The auto fan speed DSDT patch for the T61 that's out there is kind of cute. It doesn't seem to do anything unless you are actively monitoring the speed of the system fan with HWMonitor. Simply running HWMonitor doesn't do it - you have to set it to display fan RPM in the menu bar. it needs to know you are keeping an eye on it!
