Ok, I have a problem now... After leaving my computer idle for a while, I believe it tried to go to sleep which caused the system to freeze which made me force shut down. Now I'm trying to bootup normally and it hangs on the message "IOAPIC: Version 0x20 Vectors 64:87", this is the first time this happens and I think something got broken when I force shut down it.

 

I am able to bootup using safe mode though, so I tried your suggestion on safe mode to see what happened and it's still working sluggish; I used these flags -x -v GraphicsEnabler=No

 

I'm sorry I got that broken :\

I am able to boot normally now, I have no idea what I did, but I'm still having the Intel HD issue, I tried the GraphicsEnabler=No flag you mentioned and there was no difference.

 

Edit: It's not working again, getting the same error I mentioned above...help?

Hope you have a little time to read through this, it's quite detailed. A lot of work by a lot of talented people brought this together and now it supports Mavericks too.

Thanks a lot for the information, I'll definitely take a look!

Hey enveous,

 

First off, let's talk about your problem. I trust you removed the AppleIntelHDGraphics.kext and AppleIntelHDGraphicsFB.kext? If you did, try typing "graphicsenabler=no" at boot and seeing if that solves your problem. If it does, I have a few more steps to give you to make it permanent.

 

Now, about the Quartz Extreme/Core Image (QE/CI), (according to my extremely limited understanding) they are both parts of Hardware Acceleration in regards to Graphics. Some video cards are completely unsupported and won't support QE/CI at all. Others only support CI or QE, whilst others support both QE/CI. The Intel graphics on your E6410 support CI only.

Intel Centrino Wireless is not supportedl, you'll need to replace with a supported card found here.

Your E6410 does't have an NVidia card, it has the 1st generation Intel HD graphics card. At most you could get Core Image, but not Quartz Extreme.

I'll check what can I do about the wireless card, now about the Intel HD issue, do you know how can I get at least the Core Image you mentioned? Also, could you explain a bit further on this topic? I'm not sure I understand completely.

 

Thanks again!

patel4prez, thanks a lot for your support, this is definitely the best tutorial I've seen for this model.

 

After being extremely patient, I was finally able to setup OSX 10.8 in my e6410; I have Bluetooth, LAN, Camera, Sound, Trackpad (with two-finger scroll) working, but I'm still having some issues though:

 

My Intel Graphics are looking good, but it's not performing adequately, my resolution is fine but the transitions are slow and sluggish, videos play slow and launchpad freezes for a couple of second then works. I also saw that in system information the graphics are listed as unknown with no Kexts loaded, see screenshots.

 

Also my WiFi is not working.

 

I tried both suggested methods in OP to fix both devices but it's still not working. Any ideas what could be wrong?

 

These are my graphic card properties:

 

 

This is my system:

 

 

This are my wifi card properties:

 

 

Thanks!
