Erm... you would need to ENABLE USB PowerShare...
-
USB ports are normally powered off when a computer goes to sleep: that disconnects the devices. It's perfectly normal, it's meant to avoid draining the battery. Some systems have a "USB Wake" option in the BIOS that keeps the USB ports powered (to wake computer from say a USB mouse or keyboard) if and only if the computer is connected to the mains. However, this feature sometimes interfere with sleep functionality on Hackintoshes... More recent systems like the Exx40 have an additional BIOS option called "USB PowerShare" that retains power to 1 x USB port (the one at the back right corner) whatever the situation: computer sleeping or being powered off. It's meant for devices that need charging from the laptop battery (e.g.: a mobile phone). You'll easily identify the USB port: it has a little lightning bolt symbol next to it. So check your BIOS settings and try that feature if you want. It's disabled by default. http://www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/19/SLN155147/EN

How did you configure CPU power management?
-
Ouh, a bit of a mess! . NullCPUPowerManagement alongside AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement . VoodooHDA alongside AppleHDA + EAPD fix . VoodooBattery alongside AppleACPIBatteryManager . VoodooPS2Controller alongside ApplePS2Controller and that's just to name a few... And with all that, it works?

Do you have a sleepimage file in /var/vm? If so, delete it.
-
Now download IOREgistryExplorer and post a compressed saved output.

Mostly, I removed files that were not required: In /E, I've removed: . Extensions.mkext In /E/E, I've removed: . AppleACPIPlatform v1.3.5 (from SL10.6.7) -> you can run on Mavericks' vanilla version . DisableTurboBoostBattery -> applies to Intel Core "i" CPUs only . AppleIntelIntegratedFrameBuffer -> presumably the old fix for GMA950 brightness issue . OSXRestart -> never ever needed that old kext on any of my Dell systems I also replaced your FakeSMC v5.1.59 containing references to SMC keys 1.48f2 and smc-napa by FakeSMC v5.2.678 containing keys 1.33f8 and smc-mcp i.e. matching your selected SMBIOS MacBookPro5,1. In your Chameleon boot plist: . I unselected the kernel + DroopSSDT boxes . I selected SystemType -> laptop box I noticed you have an EFI string in the boot plist. What does it do? A DSDT patch would probably be better.

Here 's the adjusted pack... Adjusted_Extra.zip
-
Mmm, a few things to adjust... What OS are you running?
-
Can you post a zipped copy of your /Extra folder? You should not need SleepEnabler and you can leave your Broadcom card in place; that's not the issue. It could be something to do with a kext leftover like NullCPUPowerManagement.
-
Compress the DSDT file (right click on the .dsl or .aml file) and attach it to a post here.
-
Indeed, you need to add the DTGP method to your DSDT.
-
That card works OOB; I have one. Do you see the card in Network PrefPane and/or in your SysProfiler?
-
There are no tricks or kext. One should not really attempt Hackintoshing an AMD-based laptop; it's not the right platform.
-
My mistake, I apologize; you have an AMD CPU so you cannot have CPU Power Management, Apple do not support AMD CPUs...
-
I don't know. I can only suggest you follow the way I configured the E6440. The specs listed for your E6540 appear very similar.
-
It's pretty basic and simple: you do not currently have graphics acceleration (i.e. graphics support) for your ATI GPUs. Didn't you notice the "no kext loaded" statement? Check the supported device ids in the AMD7000Controller kext: you'll find device 0x682f (Radeon HD 7700M) is listed, i.e. supported. Try to boot with option GraphicsEnabler=Yes. The Radeon HD 7660G may not be supported at all. You may need a DSDT patch or a ATI/AMD kext patch to get your GPUs properly injected and supported. Look up for RampageDev's blog; it has great info and instructions to get graphics card supported under OS X.
-
Make sure you've setup suitable CPU power management on your system. Otherwise, your CPU may only run at max speed, i.e. highest voltage. Same may applies to GPU. Check if AGPM can be adjusted so that battery usage can be lowered. Generally speaking, OS X is much more demanding on graphics than Windows, so it should not come as a surprise that battery drains quicker under OS X. Remember that OS X is not naturally meant to run on non-Apple computers...

nVidia GeForce GT610 is only supported in ML from 10.8.3 (or was it 10.8.2), so make sure you've installed at least that version. Then it normally works OOB.

It's highly likely that the above guide is erroneous on the LAN matter. As far as I know (but I could be wrong of course), there is no support for the Realtek RTL8151 Ethernet card. You must have also noticed that the pack submitted by Ravven includes an Atheros Ethernet kext. Until one of you guys provides an lspci output listing hardware with PCI ids, it's difficult to confirm what's fitted to this laptop...

Dell Latitude E5520 - installing Mavericks - graphics problems
Hervé replied to j00z3k's topic in The Archive
An alternative to the SD card kext patch is a DSDT patch. Locate the card reader device with IORegistryExplorer and add a _DSM method in the identified DSDT device where you simply add a "compatible" section pointing to the original pic ids found in the SD card reader kext. Here's an example: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/7387-dell-latitude-e6440-with-i5-4300m-hd4600-and-1600x900-lcd-mavericksyosemite/page-3&do=findComment&comment=49190- 18 replies

Ouh! you have some serious readings to do! D410 is a very old laptop from the Pentium M era, i.e. 10+years ago! That means Intel 915GM chipset, GMA900 graphics and a 32bit-only CPU. Should run Leopard 10.5 Ok (you can try to install iFail distro on it and update to 10.5.8), possibly Snow Leopard 10.6 if you're lucky but there's very little chance with GMA900 graphics. Forget anything else, that system is just totally obsolete nowadays. Lion 10.7 and later require a 64bit CPU (Core2Duo and Core "i" generations). My old Inspiron 6000 (of the same era - see my signature) has been running 10.5.8 extremely well for like 4 to 5years, though it's hardly ever used these days... If you're up for a challenge: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1955-dell-inspiron-6000-snow-leopard-only/ Here, we can't give you any support for installing Leopard 10.5 on the D410 but you may try your luck at InsanelyMac and/or look for old threads on the Net.

You can play all you want, no harm can happen. Remove VoodooBattery from /E/E and replace it by the other kext, then run myFix (quick) again and reboot. It should make no particular difference though afaik.
