  1. I updated my Dell Latitude D620 w/GMA950 graphics to 10.7.3 without a hitch

    sleep works, safari works, let's see what else, everything else so far.

     

    using EDP 2.2 still. . .

     

    feel free to post your results!

  2. I recently acquired an old Pentium 4 Dual Core gateway desktop with a gig of ram and an Intel chipset, I put XP on it so I could use my old legit 7.3 version of Pro Tools on it.

     

    So for grins I thought I'd also put OS X Tiger x86 on it, so I ended up upgrading to the full 10.4.11 and putting in a brand new ATI 9550xl AGP x8 Radeon with 256mb ram - the only thing that don't work is dual displays and USB storage devices. . .

     

    funny thing is it runs way faster than my old single core AMD Sempron (my 1st hackintosh)

    I don't know if its cos it's Dual core VS Single Core, but the old Pentium 4 w/SSE2 emulation kicks butt! My old Pro Tools works great, I'm using an old version of iLife taken straight from an original 2006 MacPro.

     

    TO get the video to work right I had to put my dev and ven ID into the correct kext (namely the Radeon9700.kext) and add a couple of Castillo kexts and I got my video acceleration straight away. . .

  3. Me & the misses got the last two black iPhones at our local sprint store this weekend.

     

    It's quite an upgrade from my Samsung intercept which I had for almost 2 years.

     

    You can use Siri for anything that requires typing, like this post for instance.

     

    :)

  4. How to get your VGA display to work:

    1. When you're booted up, goto System Preferences -> Displays

    2. Make sure TV is on and plug in VGA cable and wait for laptop screen to refresh

    3. Hit the Detect Displays button and wait a few seconds

    4. if nothing happens the 1st time, unplug cable, wait for refresh and try a 2nd time hitting the Detect button again

    5. it should get it the 2nd time!

     

    NOTE:

    after the TV display comes on you can then goto the arrangement tab and move the top bar over to the TV Display screen and do full screen apps (Lion) from there. . .

  5. Hi guys,

     

    I am trying to get my d620 to run Lion. So far I've succesfully created a USB drive for bootinh & installing with EDP2.1 and Lion 10.7.2 (bought from Apple store). However I hae some issues:

    - when I install edp 2.1 the PC won't boot, hangs on waiting for root device.

    - mouse scroll wheel reversed (!?)

     

    Any advise?

     

    Don't update to 10.7.2 until EDP 2.2 comes out, I don't know how well 2.1 will work with that current update.

    In Lion, the mouse/trackpad is reversed for scrolling but you can change that in trackpad settings

  6. What about my thread, where I keep getting the KP right after boot, when booting off the SL install stick?

     

    Can you provide a screenshot of the KP?

    It's hard to sat what it might be.

    Also, if you have sleepenabler.kext in the Extra/Extensions folder that could be doing it.

  7. I'm running SL on a D620/GMA950. It definitely has a core 2 duo, but the Lion install application (step 1) says I don't. About this Mac confirms that its a core 2 duo. I am running SL in 32 bit mode

     

     

    admins-Mac-Pro$ uname -a

    Darwin admins-Mac-Pro.local 10.7.0 Darwin Kernel Version 10.7.0: Sat Jan 29 15:17:16 PST 2011; root:xnu-1504.9.37~1/RELEASE_I386 i386

     

    so I guess this is the issue. Do I need to get SL running in 64 bit mode, before I can upgrade to Lion? How would I do that?

     

    you cannot upgrade a hackintosh to Lion that way, you need to do a few more things like make a bootable USB stick, use xfail to copy your Lion to it, etc. . .

  8. Thanx Klex, thanx for sharing your Lion experience. I've been thinking about getting a magic trackpad for my imac, my wife has an ipad 2 so I kinda know some of the gestures.

    Now, I just need to get an extra $70 rounded up here. . .

  9. that will be great.

     

    How to Install Lion - I went here

     

    ok, I remember now! it's been a few weeks so bear with me here.

     

    1.) You have to right click (or ctrl click) on the Install Mac OS X Lion.app and goto Show Pack Contents -> Contents -> SharedSupport

    2.) Mount InstallESD.dmg image and install xfail to your USB stick (after you had formatted it GUID at 1st of course)

    3. xfail will then automagically mount Mac OS X Base System and start copying the Lion setup files to your USB stick (it will take quite a while so make some coffee or something)

    4.) download Champlist to install latest Chameleon and install it to USB stick

    5. copy your Extra folder to USB stick reboot and install - either fresh or over the top of Snow Leopard

  10. Hey guys just wondering how to you do a clean install of lion on a clean hard drive , how would i create a bootable usb, I'm trying to find a better way to reinstall lion without installing 10.6.8 first.Can someone tell me what i'm missing.

     

    I made a bootable Lion USB stick that will install Lion without upgrading, but I can't remember where! I will try to remember and post!
