As npJohnson sent me a message to ask if there was any latest version for  AppleIntelSNBGraphics.kext, and asked how to modify it in case there is any update in future, I spend some time to write it down, hope it can help

 

First, the latest version of SNB kext:

Comments:

0102 0400 - It has 4 connectors

0503 - Internal LCD

0205 - HDMI

0304 - DVI

0406 - DVID

Addtion:

0602 – VGA (09 is port number, can be changed by your own port number)

 

Since it's a laptop which works from internal LCD and no DVI port, I edited the 4th line: (To enable "VGA" Connector);

Origin 4^th Line:

03 04 00 00 00 04 00 00 09 00 00 00

To-Be 4^th Line:

06 02 00 00 02 00 00 00 30 00 00 00

 

So, In a word:

1.      Change "Connectors Qty" from 4 to 3. (Final "Internal LCD", "HDMI", "VGA") – Edit the 1^st Line.

2.      Enable the “HDMI Audio Outputâ€. – Edit the 3^rd Line.

3.      Replace "DVI" with "VGA" Connector. – Edit the 4^th Line.

4.      Remove "DVID", Use "0000" instead. – Edit the 5^th Line.

 

Installation Guide [steps]:

a). Add the "had-gfx" into your Device (VID) like below.

 

. Add the "had-gfx" into your Device (HDEF) like below.( I think you've already done)

 

c). Then use "KextUtility" to install the AppleIntelSNBGraphic.kext to you S\L\E to replace the native one.(Repair the permission, and rebuild the kextcache)

d). Turn off your laptop, plug your HDMI connection line with your laptop HDMI jack and your digital TV. Chose your right input channel in TV.(pls use a good HDMI connection line, e.g., the HDMI Ver. 1.4, or maybe it should be 1.3?)

e). Turn on your laptop, and boot into your OSX. then you should find the HDMI output function in your Preference panel -> Audio -> Output.

f). Open a Movie, and choose the "HDMI Output" in your Preference panel -> Audio -> Output. The TV will show the movie with the audio.( pls make sure turn down your volume in your TV, the Mac couldn't control the volume in HDMI mode, you only can adjust it in your TV)

[usage]:

1.      For VGA Output:

In Mountain Lion, we don't see Detect Display button at Display preferences. For getting this button, hold the “Win†button(Option) at Display preferences to get the Detect Displays button.

2.      For HDMI Audio Output:

In Mountain Lion, we must plug the connection jack before booting into OSX.

What model do you have?

try removing this from boot.plist, if still not working, upgrade to latest Chameleon.

npci=0x2000

How can I tell what version of Chameleon I'm on?

[Bronxteck]

it should say at boot on the top left corner. or use chameleon wizard app or champ list.

I've followed the guide and yesterday I installed 10.9.2 on e6320. It seems to work but I got some random freezes I think related to ssd trimming and/or sleeping mode. Still investigating.

 

BTW thanks a lot, this is a good start!

update: the freezes are gone! They were due to the driver of wifi dongle. Solved following http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/296488-guide-mavericks-109x-dell-latitude-e6320-i5/ and mounting the dongle on esata/usb port. On usb only port it still freezes the os.

Just wanted to drop back in to say that I upgraded to 10.9.3 via the App Store and have seen no issues in the first 20 mins or so. I'll report back on anything that comes up.

[Hervé]

Don't worry, there's no reason why issues would suddenly pop up thereafter.

Has anyone gotten VGA output working? If so, what did you need to do? I just tried for the first time and it was a no go. I haven't tried video output via either the mini HDMI or a port replicator (dock), but I have one of those arriving next week.

Have you tried the kext above and DSDT fix above? 

 #181  

It does work for me, but may have some artifacts here and there.

HDMI works just fine.

It's all in the guide here.
