Mountain 10.8.2 was successfully installed on my laptop without getting any kernel panic. I just get the "generic extra folder" and put on it all kexts and files in Jake Lo BP (Thanks).

Not Working:

- Sound

- trackpad

- hdmi / vga / card reader (not tested)

 

My laptop screen has 1600x900 as resolution, intel HD3000 works but not very smooth, for example when I clic the notiificaton bar the screen bug by displaying "red sign", when i clic the lunch pad it take a while to appear.

 

What can I do to solve this problem?

 

Thank

neros,

 

I'm running on 10.8.5 and I don't see the issue you're mentioning.

My specs are i7-2620M with resolution 1600x900.

:excl: Update: Mirone uploaded a new version http://www.sendspace.com/file/84nwwd, output device is now detected for internal speakers, but headphone and mic are not working nor detected.

Dear Jake Lo:

    I updated the kext to Ver.4, and test it by myself on my E6320, the intSpeak, IntMic, and Headphone all could work.

Details pls refer to below link:

Jake Lo>

That's wierd that mine is having these bugs :(

Can you upload the bootpack you used to install the 10.8.5

 

Thanks

Sorry to take so long to reply, been testing some new kext for sound and enabling VGA port.

Here you go, all setting should be customized to your specs.

Let me know how it goes and I'll write up a new HOWTO guide.

Thanks to you Jake Lo, now Mountain Lion 10.8.5 is running on my laptop.

First using your new bootpack gave me a KP but I found solution by adding NullCPUPowerManagement.kext into extensions folder.

Everything seems to be working except VGA port and Card Reader. (no matter)

 

Thanks :)

Hmmm, did you have to remove AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement or you have both installed? And is sleep working for you?

For me this appears to be completely random, i.e. sometimes it will appear green, other times will appear orange. But, if I keep on removing and re-adding the ethernet interface it will work fine; I guess that's the only workaround for now. I need a ethernet port, I havent switched to a macbook air I have here just because of this, but I dont mind having a faster processor this dell has :)

 

PD. I believe that the ethernet works fine and reports the right status if you connect it to a switch or whatever you'll be using it, at least thats what happens on my case.

This new version of AppleIntelE1000e seems to have fix the issue.

Hello Jake Lo, I have found a way to get VGA output and HDMI audio with the Vanilla Kexts! Just copy and paste the content of the attached text files into the terminal. 

 

Also could someone help me merge two kexts? I have a VoodooPS2Controller.kext that allows me to use two finger scrolling, but development stopped on that branch. Meanwhile the official VoodooPS2Controller.kext (the file labeled rehabman) updated to support multitouch support. Could someone merge the two? I am unaware of any way to do this.

 

Also how do you enable HDMI video output?

 

Thank you!

Follow guide here to enable HDMI output. As for VoodooPS2Controller, you can't just merge the 2. Someone have to code the functions for Alps. The one by rehabman is coded for Synaptics devices.
