Guest AbbaCadaver Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I've seen support mentioned for D520 on this site. But I'm wondering if anyone is running 10.6.3+ successfully on their D520. So far I've installed iFail 10.6.3 V2, updated to 10.6.4 + SnowLeopardGraphicsUpdate1.0 The only things still not working for me are tapping on the trackpad and the GMA945 integrated video. The video works, but it doesn't support any kind of acceleration. QE/CI, etc. Thanks Bios A05 8086:27a2 Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted January 8, 2011 Administrators Share Posted January 8, 2011 Have you installed our EDP package? If not check the wiki (Link at the top of page.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AbbaCadaver Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Ok thanks. I was a bit hesitant about that, but I went ahead and installed it anyway. I used edp v1.4. After install, rebuild and reboot, it went through a few hiccups where the mouse would jump around the screen randomly. I'm not sure what it was. Thinking it was an issue of kexts not loading properly due to permissions, I navigated with the keyboard to the utilities folder and ran kext utility. After that was done with I rebooted and that specific problem went away. It seems to be working so far. Quartz Extreme should be working as I can see the top UI nav bar being transparent. I'm not sure about anything else, including CI/OpenGL. System profiler's graphics section doesn't say much about that. The touchpad still isn't registering clicks. Would like to get that fixed as well. Btw the model I chose for rebuilding with edp1.4 was d620. The model seems nearly identical, wide screen aside.

What should I try out next to get it to boot? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The edp installer had an option for d520. I chose that of course. Before this failed install it was working fine with AsereBLN bootloader & EDP 1.4 Was this upgrade only meant for 10.6.6 installs? At the moment I can't do much since I'm away from home, nor have access to an install DVD of iFail. I did rename the /Extra folder to /Extra_bak prior to installing Chameleon 2.0/EDP 1.5, maybe this would help? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are chameleon 2.0 and edp 1.4 compatible? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
