Ha! I found my stupid mistake. Looking at my working monitor right now! 3. Install kexts from /Extra/Extensions/SLE to /System/Library/Extensions with kextwizard (app attached) I copied SLE into /Extra/Extensions, not /System/Library/Extensions!!! Sorry I appreciate your time. Great guide! Greatly organized files! Thanks a ton. Everything working great!!

Thanks Jake. I've been using your pack all along. Very well documented and organized!! I can't thank you enough. I have the 6430 model with only the HD4000. I am using your pack, unaltered, with the proper DSDT (2ch), and AppleIntellFrameBuffer_04. I performed an upgrade. Afteward in an attempt to get the docking station working, I deleted everything from S/L/E, and copied S/L/E from the install USB. I did this to remove any lingering or outdated kexts that I may have installed. General speaking, things are working. Is there some BIOS thing I've missed? Could there be something from Mavericks lingering and messing me up? Ideas? Thanks so much, Jeff The USB and Ethernet ports on the docking station work, I am connected right now. The video does not work. (It did with Mav, and ML.) When connected and I press FN F8, the video does try to change to the monitor, however the result is a fuzzy crazy screen (with visible and movable mouse cursor). When I press F8 again, the fuzzy screen transfers back to my laptop, and I have to reboot. *Note, I do not expect to have to press F8 to get the monitor to work, I would expect that I would simply dock the laptop like I have done in the past.

Guys, E6430 2.89 GHz Intel Core i7 Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB Has anyone gotten the docking station to work. Specifically the video. It was a pain to get it working on ML & Mavericks, but we got it working. After my upgrade I can't get it to work. I even tried the AppleIntelFrameBufferCapi, the old DSDT, org,plist from my Mavericks installation. None of this has worked. Hey Jake, thanks for the great work!! A couple of things I ran across... I was performing an update. 1) had to delete myhack.kext from SLE. That was storing stuff from previous install. Other than that, it took some messing around, but far easier than getting Mountain Lion on it!! Now If I could just get the docking station working.

Thanks James. Fry's here I come!

So, the upgrade to the wireless card was literally a snap. The model I ordered cost like $8 and came in a week. Does anyone have bluetooth working? Other than that, mine is working like a champ. --Jeff

Rob, I dont have an answer for you... sorry. I would start by upgrading your BIOS. I would then make sure that you have the propber ACPI file (from above in E/E), and that you re-ran myHack. --Jeff

Here are my results from the bench mark. http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench2/2010589

Glad to hear things are mostly working. I have the docking station pictured above. So, it sounds like we have different models. I would be curious to know if what would happen if you removed the FrameBuffer kext I included and used the default one. I am thinking that the problem still lies herein. So in general, do you have a working laptop? "By the way, your Extra\Extensions folder did not contain voodoosdhc for SD card support so I had to copy it back to my E\E folder." Yeah. Sorry I took that out. I've ordered a compatible wi-fi card as mine has the one that does not work. I'll let you know how that goes. For now, I have Belkin f9l1002v1 which is really a n300 working "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." Post back and let me know your 'final' status. --Jeff

Hey, my c.a.b.plist was messed up in there. Here is the fixed one: <dict> <key>DSDT</key> <string>/Extra/DSDT.aml</string> <key>DropSSDT</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>GenerateCStates</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>GeneratePStates</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>EthernetBuiltIn</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>Timeout</key> <string>3</string> <key>PciRoot</key> <string>1</string> <key>UseKernelCache</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>npci=0x2000 darkwake=0</string> <key>SystemType</key> <string>2</string> </dict> Just the timeout and the instant boot thing. No biggie.

"My question to you right now is when you boot docked and your external displays are working, does the built-in display engage when you undock while OS X is running or does it remain black/gray until you reboot?" Good news! So, I was reading your post, while docked. I reached over and popped my laptop from the docking station, and --what do ya know-- the lcd came on and it worked. I tested the trackpad, it worked. And then I placed it back in to the docking station and my monitor and keyboard et al all came back to life. Wow. Kinda makes all of those hours seem worth it. If I remember correctly, you have the i5 processors. Rememver that I have the i7s. Just make sure that your DSDT has that bit that I posted above. I was using MaciASL to edit the DSDTs. I've attached my Extra. AFAIK, everything seems to be working! Post back and let me know how it goes for you. --Jeff Extra copy.zip

See update... I got HDMI, Docking (DVI), and the LCD all working. https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2380-e6430-with-nvs5200intel-hd-4000/?p=19668

Updated so much, I deleted most of the orig post. Ok guys, So, here is what I have: e6430 - BIOS A11 2.89 GHz Intel Core i7 (3520M) Intel 7 Series Chipset: AHCI Version 1.30 Supported Intel HD Graphics 4000 512 RAM Vendor: Intel (0x8086) Device ID: 0x0166 Revision ID: 0x0009 ** I do not have an nVidia card, HD4000 Mobile, only ** I was finally able to get my laptop, hdmi, and docking station all working. I'll be honest, I had a hell of a time getting this all working. This about my 5th hackintosh and by far the most difficult. Perhaps I was just being stupid, who knows. Anyway, here's what I did. I started off following this procedure. I created a myHack USB 10.8.3 with leppy700m's advice. https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2380-e6430-with-nvs5200intel-hd-4000/ *re-install this in your /Extra when you are done with EDP I then followed this: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2327-dell-latitude-e6430/ Luckily, I had an HDMI cable to my monitor, beacuase that is the only thing that worked when I was finished installing. (No LCD). From there I followed the EDP process (using my monitor and HDMI cable.) Then I had a few edits to my c.a.b.plist: <dict> <key>DSDT</key> <string>/Extra/DSDT.aml</string> <key>DropSSDT</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>EthernetBuiltIn</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>Instant Menu</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>PciRoot</key> <string>1</string> <key>UseKernelCache</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>npci=0x2000 darkwake=0</string> <key>SystemType</key> <string>2</string> </dict> Things were still messed up, so I was using my HDMI cable. Btw, my DSDT looks like this: Device (GFX0) { Name (_ADR, 0x00020000) Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized) { Store (Package (0x08) { "AAPL,DualLink", Buffer (0x04) { 0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 }, "AAPL,ig-platform-id", Buffer (0x04) { 0x03, 0x00, 0x66, 0x01 }, "hda-gfx", Buffer (0x0A) { "onboard-1" }, "model", Buffer (0x17) { "Intel HD Graphics 4000" } }, Local0) DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0)) Return (Local0) } ** Remember to re-install the ACPIPlatform in to your /Extra and run myfix. Now here is where I finally got things working. http://iFail.me/forum/viewtopic.php?f=77&t=23300 Download that FrameBuffer.kext and install it in /Extra Now, your lcd should work. Attach the laptop to the docking station, and there is one last trick to follow: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3131 At last, I closed my lid on my laptop, and sat down at my desk top! I had a hard go at this, I hope it works out for someone else. --Jeff Intel HD Graphics 4000: Chipset Model: Intel HD Graphics 4000 Type: GPU Bus: Built-In VRAM (Total): 512 MB Vendor: Intel (0x8086) Device ID: 0x0166 Revision ID: 0x0009 Displays: Color LCD: Resolution: 1600 x 900 @ 60 Hz Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888) Mirror: Off Online: Yes Built-In: Yes VX2739 Series: Resolution: 1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888) Display Serial Number: RKD110763966 Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Rotation: Supported
