it describes a working setup with A18 for the E6430. I only have some issues with Optimus disabled and brightness keys, all other stuff works.

I was on A18 when I started with another HD4000 based setup, and I suddenly got glitches when I was messing with SMBios, even when I reverted to an original version of my config. 
 

I got rid of the glitches again by moving to A12, but upgraded again to A18 after following the above and I still have no glitches.

cheers

hi,
 
Thanks a bunch for this post, I got almost everything working, including sleep (when I switched to BIOS A18).
I have the E6430, 3720QM with 16 GB memory.
So far there are two things not working:
 - disabling Optimus in BIOS - it hangs on some IO message (and intel brightness complains about a missing helper)
 - display brightness doesn't work
 
I got sound working with VoodooHDA plus helper and I use UEFI to boot and need OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi (or version2).
 
What can I do to fix the missing issues? Thanks a lot !

well, seems my bad: I had to disable optimus is bios, thought it was off. Now it boots properly.
Just no working sleep and webcam on 10.8.5.

Yes E6430 with dual graphics card.

thank you.

I think the webcam worked on the default install with DSDT=null.
Any clue how I can fix that?

Otherwise it looks good.
Too bad I cannot seem to boot Ubuntu properly with Optimus disabled, so I have to switch in bios.
Would be awesome if it works with optimus enabled .

my macbook pro 15 retina has a similar hardware config.

thanks for the help anyway, it is usable, can't wait till it is working all.

Anyone has experience with 10.9?

Thanks so much for your efforts.
I get nothing but kernel panics with 10.8 and the HD4000 drivers and from anybody's extra folder I tried.
I tried 10.9 too but got a black screen and no hdmi output.
I have a i7 with nvidia card and 16gb memory.
C-states is enabled in BIOS, as is AHCI.

I keep having issues with powermanagement kexts.

it boots with -v -x DSDT=null.
Any clue how I can fix the issues?
I have a working 10.8.5 install now but can only boot with -v -x DSDT=null.
Otherwise it kernel panics.
Would be nice to get it working, especially with 10.9

That card is a BCM943228HM4L and is not supported, you will need to use a compatible card. Try a Dell 1510 (or search using PW934 - same card, but often found cheaper this way). A quick eBay (US) search shows them as cheap as $4.75 with shipping.

you can also try DW1490 and DW1390, both have broadcom chips that work too.

EDP gave me a lot of issues: system prefs crashing after adding a prefpane, issues with graphics somehow.

I started over with a minimum install and I have everything working, but shutdown/sleep/reboot.

 

A custom A15 OSX bios from here have me Win 7 issues: no acpi complient blue screen, so I flashed normal A15 back.

 

Is there a manual way to fix the shutdown/sleep/reboot issues?

I tried Openhaltrestart, evoreboot and some other that was just for reboot.

Sometimes a reboot worked after some waiting, shutdown never worked.

Sleep did with Sleepenabler i think, but i would like to avoid it.

Any options, maybe dsdt hacks?

I am not using any now.

By the way, this hack removes the need for nullcpupowermanagement:

 

thanks

for lucky 7's try a diffrent trackpad option

 

Can you please clarify this?

I have no trackpad options now.

I would love to have them to enable touch on the pad as well.

Hi all,

 

I also have the 7777 problem.

Also, I have been unable to get power off working.

I have a D830 with Nvidia Quadro 140, 1,8 Ghz T7100.

Did anyone get it working, does it work with the posted dsdt.aml?

I am running bios version A15, can I use the A09 based dsdt?

 

I also noted this post:

https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/255-04032011-d830-bios-rework/

Will a D830 bios also be added here:

http://www.osxlatitude.com/groups/d4xosx/wiki/55362/BIOS_patching.html

maybe one from here and one from that post?

 

I'll try the bios this week and post my findings.

 

Thank you all for your work, this site is awesome!
