Pretender Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Hi Jake Still those freeze on QuickLook (mp4) or while using Quicktime. Think it is related to this framework which keep crashing : (cf full crash report attached) The sleep mode does not work either, the screen goes black and the keyboard back light stays on, cannot wake it up, even over LAN. Sorry for the external link, do you think this might fix it : http://www.osx86.net/files/file/92-appleacpiplatformkext-for-os-x-109 ? The rest is still fine, the multitouch is gone, but I have been able to sort that out. I had to re-use Rehabman package and get rid of ApplePS2 ans ACPIPS2Nub. The fn + play / next does not work anymore also. fn + up / down, does not change the brightness while it can change it during the boot stage. (Except for fn + right arrow [kb backlight], it seems the fn key is not mapped) Did anyone find a fix/workaround for this ? Any advises ? Can I provide you with process dump or logs ? I am going to extremely busy in the next weeks so I will slow down on the Hackintosh since 90% works I am overally very satisfied. When I ll get the time I ll have a look at how to patch, to make this compatible with Maverick. Many thanks to all for your contributions.

Moderators Jake Lo Posted December 2, 2013 Moderators Share Posted December 2, 2013 No, sleep is not working on the nvidia discrete card as stated many times. For brightness, use Pause(fn+Insert) and scrollLock(Fn+F3).I don't use quicktime, but VLC works perfectly for me. You could try that. Same boot pack will work on Mavericks as well.

Pretender Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Hello, Some updates about my hackintosh, your package Jake Lo is working just perfectly. Except Sleep as expected and a glitch with iTunes/Quicktime/iMessages when playing mov video (Artifacts then crash), beside that everything work perfectly. Today, I updated from 10.9.2 to 10.9.4, after reboot my screen went black. I was able to remote my Mac using a vnc software, ssh, and a recovery partition. Console (/var/log/system.log) showed a couple of errors, but most notably : com.apple.kextd[13] Kext id com.apple.nvidia.nvGF100hal not found; removing personalities from kernel. 10/07/14 11:44:02,400 com.apple.kextd[13] String/URL conversion failure. To fix this issue, I had to edit : /System/Library/Extensions/AppleGraphicsControl.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy.kext/Contents/Info.plist Below those strings : <key>IOKitPersonalities</key> <dict> <key>AppleGraphicsDevicePolicy</key> <dict> <key>ConfigMap</key> I had to add <key>Mac-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX</key> <string>none</string> _____________________________________________________ The explanation is that you have to match the board-id to your /Extra/smbios.plist : To get this value, you can type : $ Ioreg -l | grep board-ip Or check SMboardproduct in /Extra/smbios.plist Once you have it (Mac-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX), fill the Info.plist file mentionned above. All credits go to RehabMan and PikeAlpha for figuring this out And avin7000 / the1door for reporting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted July 10, 2014 Moderators Share Posted July 10, 2014 Thank you for the guide. I don't use the nvidia card anymore. Was able to disable it with DSDT and use HD 3000 graphics instead. This allows sleep and power management. If you want to try, click on E6520 on my signature below. No issue upgrading to 10.9.4Advantage: Sleep and battery last a bit longer and not heat upDisadvantage: No HDMI video/Audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretender Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Hello, I read that indeed. I have bought a SSD disk, so switching on / off is relatively fast, I do not really use the sleep mode. The only problem resides in closing the lid which kinda force a sleep mode, and then I can not wake OS X and have to hard reboot the laptop. Do you know any plist or else to tweak to disable any effect on closing the lid ? I know this setting exist on Windows (Energy settings/Closing the lid), what I do not know is if it is triggered hardware (BIOS) or software (the OS). EDIT : Guess I should have googled that before : http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/37991/nosleep _____________________________________________________ Beside that I'm not a big gamer but I'm playing Assassin's Creed Brotherhood for Mac, and it works really well. I am not sure this game would run fine with HD3000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
