I have to correct myself. The PR01X sound out does not work, sorry for any irritation...

I'm using a generic 5800 mAh battery since 1 week - it provides me with around 4 hours OSX work, until now it is fine. But like other non oem batterys, it is bad at lower charge - it drops voltage quite quick, so it might just fail at rates lower than 10% charge. Result: your dell is powered off without any warning...

Solved. Don't know what it was, but now everything works. Perhaps some dust in the connector slot...

 

This is really awesome - USB, sound, ethernet, VGA out just work fine. DVI does not, rest was not tested until now.

 

Hot docking works fine, hot undocking makes the mouse go crazy (the trackstick as well - interesting, as it does not react on input in my setup). With undocking in sleep mode, everything is fine

 

Welcome to the next level of OSX - is there a macbook with a dock?

Hi,

 

I've installed SN 10.6.8 successfully - thx for the very comfortable solutions provided here

 

The result: a nearly fully working (except SD) DellBook. Next step: Using a docking solution. I was able to get a PR01x including power supply for less than 25€ - connecting the d430 to it results in:

 

- working ethernet

- working VGA out

- not working USB

 

The last one is a real problem - connected to the dock one cannot access the built in USB ports. Any experience with that one, anyone using here a fully working dock with a DellBook 430?

 

Kind regards,

seb

No Problem: Unpack this and put it in "/Library/Keyboard Layouts" so you can use it as Input Source ("Eingabequelle" in German) in your Language Preferences-pane ("Sprache &Text").

I had to zip it, because the forum-software wouldn't let me upload an ascii xml file with the extension keylayout

Thx for the zip! I've copied it and now I can choose it for input.

 

But when pressing ALT+Q, windows are still closing (when standard command key layout is applied), when command key is swapped I can generate a @ just like before with WIN+Q - did I miss anything?

I made one for my previous hackintosh (Sorry my wife's ), a Lenovo Ideapad s10 and one for my (daughter's) D430 both with german layout matching the keys. e.g. ALT/AltGR Q gives you @, this makes it so much easier to find the charactes you need. Use one of the included layouts for start and modify it according to your needs.

Hi Harald,

 

any chance you can share your ukelele layout with us?

 

Best regards,

Sebastian
