Hmm, for SL, you'll need an older version of myHack as v3.3.1 has an issue with SL. However, you can try and boot your ModCD installation with boot option GraphicsEnabler=No to see if it gets you to desktop Ok. Then you can always add our bootpack to make use of the DSDT which should sort out your screen issue. Afterwards, it's easy enough to make a myHack installer and start afresh...

'means that GT 730M is not recognized at all. We need to see if it's supported at all. If not, you might have to try and disable it in BIOS and resort to CPU's own GPU only. Which exact model of i7 is it?

Ok, we'll need more info on that exact GMA 4500MHD chip, but you could probably run ML, possibly Mavericks though I'm not sure. Try and start an ML installation with myHack's Generic boot pack, then we'll get more details about your hardware (the above is too high level at the moment). You need to identify your exact model of wireless card as well because Intel models are not supported at all and have to be replaced.

How did you install Snow Leopard on your D630? Here we advocate and support the myHack + OSXLatitude bootpack installations. Please read the EDP pages at top of your screen and use the appropriate D630 bootpack for your myHack installation. Your issue is well-known and usually affected HiRes WXGA+ 1440x900 LCDs, not LoRes WXGA 1280x800 screens. Anyway, a temporary alternative to your issue might be to use an external screen to which you force initial VGA output at BIOS POST/early bootstrap via Fn-F8. On boot completion, when Mac OS X switches to graphical desktop, you'd be likely to obtain proper display on LCD. Basically, you need the patched DSDT, that possess the fix to your issue... PS: please post in the correct forum section and read the forum before posting in case your questions have been asked and answered before.

Deleting /Extra is totally different from deleting /Extra/Extensions: on top of the latter, the former also includes DSDT (if applicable) and Chameleon boot plist + SMBIO plist. Graphics related boot options such as GraphicsEnabler are stored in boot plist, so this is more likely where you action had an immediate effect.

Presence/absence of /E/E has no direct incidence on boot process on a myHack installation, unless myFix is run afterwards of course...

It depends also on the on-board graphics card/chip. It's not just a CPU matter... Graphics chips such Intel GMA950/X3100 or ATI X1600 were dropped with ML due to Apple adopting newer/advanced OpenGL/OpenCL versions to handle graphics. Others like GMA 4500MHD may be supported on a case by case basis (we can help you here). Some other chips are totally unsupported. Post us your hardware specs.

Have a look at the various sections here. Failing that, ask Deepak...

Tuh, tuh, tuh, of course it is! Through the Input Sources tab, although it is a little different in Mav: Up to ML: look down in the alphabetical list at L for your added Logitech layout Mav: you have to click on Keyboard Preferences... button, then on + in Keyboard pane, then look in Others.

For keyboard, I always use a combination of DoubleCommand (supports Mavericks now) for CMD/Alt keys + Logitech layouts provided by Ukelele (placed in /Library/KeyboardLayouts) that I then select through Language Pref Pane for other keys positioning such as @, \, etc.

Ok, good, that's the one to use (at least with ML or Mav). You're all set then! You can now rename the patched DSDT file into dsdt.aml and place that in /Extra to reboot normally without the manual Chameleon option.

So, you're good? I guess you are using BCM5722D kext for your Broadcom Ethernet, right? Which version is it?

You don't need to run myFix to use a DSDT file, just test any new file with Chameleon option DSDT=/. Is the Ethernet working at all?

Try to repair permissions on it.

Probably not necessary actually, IOreg and DSDT are usually sufficient.

I would advise you to simply replace your entire /Extra with mine and, of course!, run myFix (quick) to apply the changes. Unless you run myFix, none of the kexts you add to /E/E are taken into account. Of course, if you have no BT module and no WWAN module, remove those CSR Bluetooth + CellPhone kexts before running myFix. Naturally, the /Extra folder I uploaded did not contain the EDP installation which is unnecessary in the present context. Alternatively, make a brand new EDP installation; 'should be up to version 773 or something...

@Dan, try the attached DSDT, patched to reflect your LAN card in System Report. After rebooting with the new DSDT, look up interfaces in Terminal with ifconfig command. LAN_patching.zip Byt the way, your Dan's Devices & Kexts.zip files were empty!

The ATI problem is most likely due to lack of FrameBuffer definition resulting in OS X being unable to identify your card. You need to identify which FB it is for your card to add it to your boot plist, then possibly patch your DSDT. Until you do that, you won't have graphics acceleration and won't be able to properly initialise graphics card.

Change your BT Pref Pane settings...

Sorry, 'can't say, I'm happy with the ANV/Slice pack. Try different ones from the EDP list but be aware that some may not work so you could use your keyboard & touchpad.

But... you're back with nullCPUPowerManagement, PState, SleepEnabler, etc. all those I advised you not to select! I recommended you use VoodooBattery and you have AppleSmartBatteryManager + VoodooBattery! You're without PS2 kexts, so keyboard and touchpad aren't probably working... Same goes for LAN, you have no Broadcom kext installed. Sorry, but either you're not following instructions or EDP is completely & utterly messed up. Your D430 just won't work properly in those conditions. Why won't you just use the /Extra I provided above ??? Manually remove all those kexts, copy those from my /Extra folder to your /E/E, copy my SMBIOS + boot plists to /Extra then run my fix (quick).

Yes, sure, do the same with the latest EDP version. After your build, please list the contents of /Extra/Extensions. We'll then be able to establish whether EDP installs the correct LAN kext or not. It's available in my /Extra if required.

Yup.

EDP updates consist mainly of new systems being added. Should anything else of significant importance be added for existing integrated systems, then we would announce it on the forum. We will add some of those tuning items before long, it's just a matter of finding the time to do and test the EDP app thoroughly afterwards... I've already posted about the performance tuning for the D430 in this very section. You need to look for it, I can't remember exactly; probably a pinned thread... Coming back to the D430 EDP build, this is what you should opt for: Copy those files I mentioned above from my /Extra to your /Extra/include folder Launch EDPWeb and proceed with D430 build as follows: . Kexts: Standard PS2 controller (myHack), but you're welcome to choose any other, but beware, some might be 64bit and may not work (I don't know which ones) Default VoodooHDA (but v2.8.4 should work just as well) Default Ethernet Wifi according to your card if required (some work OOB) Voodoo battery . CPU&Power: VoodooTSCSync . Other tabs: default settings That should be it.

From memory, but I'll check tonight because I certainly have not updated EDP on my D430 for ages (no need, it works): Default PS2 pack (probably) VoodooHDA TSCSync GMA950 brightness fix I think that's all you need. Wireless will depend on the card you have and it appears you have none... If you use the boot plist + SMBIOS + FakeSMC of my /Extra above, you'll have native SpeedStep. So once you've done your EDP build, just copy those files the /E and /E/E and re-run myfix (quick). Then, you're safe to reboot.
