JawhnL5 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Okay, so I got myself a D830. Heavily abused, but free. Has the nVidia Quadro NVS 140m chip, meaning it gets 1920x1200. I have had bad luck with the Intel model I used to have. So I have some questions. 1. Is there a stable custom BIOS upgrade available? 2. When making my USB pen, do I just follow the regular guide or do I use a different Extra folder? 3. In EDP, will the D830 Nvidia option work? Sorry for asking, but I want to know beforehand if it will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediax Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Got the same computer Everything works out of the box (except wifi...i changed my card with a airport compatible one) Make your pen drive following tutorial "Install Lion on a supported machine" (with a 10.7.0 dmg image...not a 7.2) First BOOT start EDP2.2 install kext (1-12) and Chameleon and everything you need/want (for example Fix Hibernate voodooHDA PS2 ect..) Before making a update to 10.7.2 make a change on your DSDT.aml to protect you against Blackscreen By modding Replace: QUOTE "device_type" Buffer (0x0D) { "NVDA,Geforce" } with: QUOTE "device_type" Buffer (0x0C) { "NVDA,Parent" } One important thing, if you got a Hard Drive with 4K cluster To avoid BOOT: Error Make a Ubunto Live CD and type the following terminal command sudo dd if=boot1h of=/dev/sda"x" bs=4096 (x = your OSX partition) download boot1h on following link Issue 4K Chameleon Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
