Just wanted to drop a line and say thanks Jake Lo. I got gestures working (sort of) but good enough for my $350 "MacBookPro" clone and sound up and running, decided to do VoodooHDA 2.8.4 install. I also swapped out the memory, 8 GIG, for 16Gig and it is working great! Seems to be running fine, quieter than my e6410, but I'd like to confirm if SpeedStep is working correctly. Any suggestions on how I can confirm? Thanks

Up and running. Thanks! Rebuilt my USB installer with your EXTRA folder and then did the install. NOTE - I had to run the initial install under SAFE MODE (-X) to get it to run. Everything seems to be working outside of a couple items. 1 - Sound. Controls are there, icon works along with FN+ up/down arrows but no audio through the speakers. I assume the AppleHDA file in your Extra folder was patched..?.? Tried placing the AppleHDA into S/L/E via KextWizard (repaired permissions) but did not make a difference. Thoughts on VOODOO instead or is there a patched AppleHDA that works well with E6420 2 - Touchpad. Gestures are not working. I think there is KEXT out there for that too but unsure if it would be compatible for the E6420.

Jake Lo I am starting from scratch just to make sure I did not miss a step and rule out and screw-ups I might of did trying to get it to work. Creating a fresh USB installer at the moment - sticking with 10.8.4, Just want to confirm that I should replace the DSDT from your EXTRA folder with the one that you just supplied and leave the KEXTs that I removed earlier? Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll give it shot and let your know.

Trying to get ML 10.8.4 installed on the following system: E6420 I5 HD3000 1600x900 native resolution Initial install was accomplished but I had to remove a number of KEXTs from the MYHACK usb installer related to graphics for the install to run: Located in S/L/E folder AppleIntelHD* ApplyIntelSNB* Now I am running into an issue on the reboot where by OSX setup process is getting stuck / frozen at the "select your keyboard" option. I tried safe mode and plugging in a USB keyboard but no luck. I even loaded via MYHACK the EXTRA folder from Jake Lo posted in this thread, post #94, since our systems are basically the same except fore the resolution but it seemed to make no difference. Possible graphics issue still or something else? Thanks
