    What else but a dark screen would you expect with an unsupported webcam?

    You should probably generate your own SSDT that suits your own CPU rather than maybe reuse an existing file from somewhere. This will allow you to optimise CPU speed stepping in collaboration with SMBIOS profile and to enjoy better Turbo boost too.

    Caution: the Chameleon boot plist goes in /Extra, not in /Extra/Extensions...

    For FaceTime, it'll work (without camera) as long as you have an active en0 LAN interface (whether a real and supported LAN card or the fake Ethernet).

    D630 - El Capitan

    Hervé replied to a topic in The Archive

    If you want to use the power button to put your D630 Hackintosh to sleep, press it down 2 to 3 seconds. The screen will go to sleep, there will be some disk activity for a few seconds, then the laptop will go to sleep and the power LED fade in and out. The alternative to put your D630 to sleep is Fn-Esc or close the lid. This does require that you disable hibernation beforehand (and removing any sleep image from /var/vm is also required to avoid issue on reboot). If your computer is asleep with lid opened, press PWR button to wake it.

    Like for most (if not all) USB devices, there are no kexts for this piece of hardware. If your laptop has a fingerprint scanner based on this device, it can only be used under OS X through a supporting software. Finding such software has remained a problem to this day... NB: Some laptops also have a Broadcom BCM5880 device listed in their USB hardware without necessarily having a fingerprint scanner physically fitted to the computer, it's the built-in Integrated Secure Applications Processor chip:

    Guys please keep the thread to its topic or create new ones.

    No that would not work.

    Best thing to download is a legit copy of 10.9.5 off the AppStore. Boot hanging at "Missing Bluetooth Controller Transport..." means your nVidia GPU is not properly recognized with the distro you used, whereas it would be fully recorgnized OOB with a vanilla installer. There is no VT-d BIOS parameter on the Latitude D830, so you can rule that out. Conclusion: avoid using a distro, it's obviously not suitable...

    These integrated webcams are USB devices, so no DSDT patch will do... OS X normally supports UVC-type devices OOB. Not much you can do if yours is not supported, other laptops such as the Latitude E6320 suffer the same problem (well those fitted with a specific model). As suggested right above, you may try macam app, but it probably won't change anything.

    D630 - El Capitan

    Afaik, you don't need to press Ctrl at all. To put your D630 to sleep, you press PWR button a couple of seconds or you close the LID or you press Fn-Esc. The laptop will then sleep within a few seconds, provided you've disabled hibernation and removed any sleep image file of course.

    The command is overall correct, but check that you use the correct path for boot1h file. Plain if=boot1h assumes the file is in the current directory. Ther output file points to the hardware device identified against your "Volumes/" file system in the df Terminal command. In case you did not know it: if parameter of dd command means input file of parameter of dd command means output file

    SSDT generator tool is of no use on 1st Gen Arrandale "i" Core CPUs, it only applies to SandyBridge and later CPUs. For Arrandale CPUs, AICPUPM is managed in the exact same way as for Core2Duo models.

    If it does not work OOB, then there is little chance it'll be supported...

    "boot0:error" is typical 4K sector HDD issue. I would suggest you boot into your USB installer having copied a Chameleon i386 folder (with all boot files) onto it, then unmount your HDD and install the boot1h file to it. You cannot just copy the file to your existing partition. Once you've properly installed the boot1h file, you should then be able to boot your HDD directly.

    If you downloaded Yos from AppStore before, it'll be available in the list of your previous purchases in AppStore and you'll be able to download it again.

    Just add the parameter to the Clover boot options. I don't know if Clover support "PciRoot=x" like Chameleon, if in doubt, use PCIRootUID=x.
  18. Hervé
    PciRoot=4 basically aligns the bootloader PCI root with the computer's default settings. You can bypass this by patching the DSDT and setting PCI root value to 0. There are several posts on the forum about this.
  19. Hervé
    No need for NullCPUPowerManagement or patched AICPUPM at all...

    Why don't you use the vanilla AppleACPIPlatform kext and only that one?
  21. Hervé
    No, but I can't upgrade BIOS (stuck to A07) without getting IT Dpt involvement... Try to install Rehabman's latest GenericUSBXHCI kext (v1.2.9) and check in your SysPref if it loads; if it does not, you may try to modify the Info plist of the kext to change IOPCIClassMatch set to 0x0c033000 to IOPCIMatch set on 0x8c2d8086 and 0x8c268086.

    Which version of ACPIBatteryManager do you have? v1.55 can be troublesome in EC 10.11 and affect LCD brightness. No such issue with version v1.60. ACPIBatteryManager.kext.v1.60.zip

    If you want to posts specifications, please post those that are relevant to your exact system, do not dump general data off the dell web site. You can post: CPU model RAM Qty Graphics card model Screen resolution Audio card model SD card reader model Wifi card model LAN card model USB2.0/USB3.0 ports Rest is kind of irrelevant. Arrandale systems with 1st gen In the HD graphics can run all recent OS X versions such as Mavericks, Yosemite or El Capitan but graphics support depends entirely on LCD connector type (LVDS or eDP). Former supports full QE/CI, latter does not. As such eDP-based models are not really suited as Hackintoshes. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/286092-guide-1st-generation-intel-hd-graphics-qeci/page-1?hl=+1st%20+gen%20+intel%20+hd

    Tried the E6230 DSDT?

    VGA is unsupported on HD4600. For DVI, just go to your Display PrefPane and press [Alt] or [Win] key to be able to detect displays.
