Mario, I guess that would be on an external display, so similar issue to that experienced by D620 GMA950 users... Here's a GMA950 consistency! You'll find your VoodooHDA kext in /Extra/Extensions. Make a copy of it to your desktop, don't just move it. Right click on that desktop kext and select "display package contents". Double click on folder called "Contents". You'll then see a file called plist. Open it with TextEdit and edit and look for iGain. In the line underneath, enter the desired value (eg: 90). Exit & save your modification. Then copy your edited kext back to /Extra/Extensions (you may have to delete the initial kext first). Then run myFix (full) and reboot. That's it.

That's quite normal. When a laptop is put to sleep mode, the USB ports do not normally provide 5V power to connected devices. As such, a USB device gets disconnected and you'll get a pop-up message saying it was disgracefully removed. Some laptops provide a BIOS parameter that will allow USB ports to maintain 5V power, but only when the laptops runs off mains. Only in such conditions will you avoid the USB devices being disconnected after sleep. On a D630, that BIOS parameter is called "USB Wake Support" (the name is self-explanatory) and it works perfectly. However, on some laptops, it does interfere with sleep mode; for instance, enabling this parameter on a D620 will prevent the computer from going to sleep (it wakes immediately on going to sleep!).

Assuming you're talking about a D420 or D430 GMA950 with VoodooHDA audio controller, you can always try to increase iGain either in the kext plist or through the PrefPane if you've installed it. Re: video card, go look for "gmabooster" on the Net.

USB kexts are not generic, USB support depends on your chipset. I'm a bit lost with your keyboard & mouse problem... You seem to say your USB ports are working since you can read USB keys, but that you have no USB mouse and keyboard. Earlier, you mentionned USB wireless keyboard. So, which do you have ??? If bog standard USB keyboard & mouse, that should normally work OOB. Do you have any PS2 controller kexts in /Extra/Extensions at all?

I thought legacy USB meant compatibility with USB 1.1 or operation under USB 1.1 mode, i.e.slow speed. Usually, a BIOS offers USB legacy mode (1.1) or high speed (2.0) mode. Are you able to select one or the other at all? I'd expect a USB dongle (a Bluetooth one?) for a keyboard and mouse would still operate under legacy mode, unless it's only 2.0 compatible of course. On my Vostro, USB is configured for High Speed in the BIOS and I've had no problem with my wireless keyboard and mouse (Bluetooth models with USB bluetooth dongle), they work oob. You could try booting with option "USBBusFix=No" (you'll see a list of 3 or 4 USB boot options if you interrupt the boot process at the delay bar and enter a ?) to see if that helps at all...

I confirm, no specific kext required, it's indeed natively supported... as long as BT radio is not disabled on the module. Look here for details: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1824-bluetooth-adapters/

Sounds like you indeed need to install/re-install the Chameleon bootloader. It won't do anything to your SL installation but, as always, if you have concerns, make backups beforehand...

Look here: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2120-wireless-cards-inventory/ Still no other contribution from anyone else though...

You don't need an installer, just copy the Chameleon boot file to the HDD root.

If LAN adapter has disappeared, just extract it to /E/E from bootpack, the run myFix (full). If you got KP after SoundFlower was installed, removed it, but I guess it's probably more to do with the audio kext you chose. I'd go back to do a new EDP System build and carefully choose the patched AppleHDA kext that's listed for the D430. 2Go RAM max, I suggest you get familiar with the user's guide specifications off Dell's web site.

Sounds like following EDP installation, you have the issue of NVRAM + incorrect Chameleon boot loader, hence no boot! So, you should either remove FileNVRAM.dylib from /Extra/modules or update your Cham boot loader to r2169 or above. This has been talked about many many times recently. Do a little search on the forum, I've even posted boot file r2170 if memory serves me right. Re: trackpad, make sure to select Voodoo PS2 controller (ALPS) in the list when you do your system build. I think it select ANV-Slice by default.

I often found that, on the D Series, Lion (and Lion installer) required boot option "USBBusFix=No" to avoid keyboard+mouse issue...

Why not try to install ML with myHack, followed by whatever kexts your hardware may require?

No, it's a different GPU on the D820. As a general rule, if there's no bootpack for a given OS X Version, then we don't support it (usually because the hardware is not fully supported under that version).

Give it up, the NVS 110M graphics card is not supported under ML.

Try the latest version 2.8.1, bearing in mind that it may require iGain increase for Volume control (typically to 90).

Which audio kext?

Mmm, could you check the Vendor id and Device id of the LAN card? That'll help us confirm wether it's supported by the above kext or if it needs another one. But if the card is detected, it usually means PCI ids are covered.

Look at the list in "Research... -> Hardware fixes -> Network" section

VoodooPS2 controller (Alps) should work just fine on your D630 with Lion. Regarding KP, read-up the recent forum posts on the matter, like in the D630 Lion guide...

Just copy the Eth kext from the bootpack to /E/E and re-run myFix (full). The EDP bug should be fixed soon.

Yes, you should always copy additional kexts to /Extra/Extensions and follow-up with myFix full. Avoid adding stuff to /S/L/E as this is really for the original Apple stuff and it's best to leave as is unless absolutely necessary. myHack provides the facility to add and/or replace/supersede kexts through /E/E. Regarding KP every 5/10mins after EDP 5.0 execution, can you say whether there is any mention of EFINVram in the KP message at all? If that's the case, try and replace the boot file at root (/) level by the one I had attached here: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2137-wanted-edp-4-or-older/?hl=2170

Simply copy the BCM440xxx kext from the Inspiron 9400 botpack to /E/E, then run myFix (full).

No! Please use the search function on the forum.

I'll try and have a look tonight. Meantime, check your BIOS settings against the recommended ones.
