HI Dinesh I'm going to sponsor the creation of the correct SSDT file for my CPU, once that's done I'll rebuild my rig and post the complete process and observations.

This thread has gotten a little messy with Extra folders for both the HD4000 only and those with NVS5200 GPUs.  To get back on track would it be possible to get an Extras folder with everything setup for the NVS5200 as a new starting point.

I've just sent a sponsored request in for an SSDT file for my CPU so once that's in I'm guessing everything that works will be in tip top condition with just my WiFi and Bluetooth not working (neither of which I need).

I've sent the files for my Latitude E6430 with i7 3740QM and the specs in my signature.  I'm sure the DSDT is already up and running I just need an SSDT tuned to my particular CPU.

I'm using the Extra_Copy.zip file from OSXJeff on this thread hoping that everything else is included except the WiFi which I'm sure isn't supported.

"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.

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.

Hi OSXJeff was this file updated in your Extra copy.zip or do I need to add it?

Do I need to make any amendments for my spec?

I've tried those suggestions but nothings worked.  I suspect that Chameleon isn't being properly installed but can't see where to check this.

Also is it OK to use the GUID partition or do I need to switch to MBR?

Thanks Jake, I had added the Extra folder in this thread to my USB key and selected it during the install sequence but I think it failed because I had to boot the USB in safe mode.

Last night just before posting I disabled the virtualization support in the BIOS but still couldn't boot except in safe mode so I shut down and waited for some help.  This morning I booted with -v to post some diagnostics and the OS booted fully but only when booting from the USB key first.  I was then able to install the latest Chameleon and the Extra files from this link.  The trackpad and I'm sure additional features now all work but the boot loader doesn't.

Other than installing Chameleon are there any additional settings I need to configure?  Do I also need to install the additional files from this link to get the docking station working?
