Re: hibernate, you can also check your hibernate mode and set it to 0 if you want (-> it will not save image to HDD any more). For that, use the EDP fix (unless you prefer Unix command line).

1) Yes, that'll fix the KP on wake

2) -

3) Yes, it is but sometimes you have to re-install Chameleon, for instances in cases of multi-boot HDD; so it's handy to download and reinstall properly on your machine

4) I don't believe Cham Wizard ever was included in EDP, but I would not be quoted on that. I don't know if your link is the "official" location. It doesn't really matter. Otherwise, get it from kexts.com (osx86.net),

'looks like you'd be the 1st one here to have that machine under OS X as there's been no word from original user since his initial post. One can only assume he gave up. It would have helped if he provided the whole list of specs...

Sorry, no idea about the PState code or its capabilities to call on unlocked multiplier of Extreme CPUs.

When you run EDP kext installation, make sure to select the correct model (LoRes vs HiRes) as DSDT table differs and will be overwritten.

Then I would suggest that, instead of predefined values,  you opt for your own settings and select:

. VoodooPS2Controller

. NullCPUPowerManagement

. SleepEnabler

. Emulated SpeedStep

. VoodooTSCsync

. patched AppleHDA STAC9200 for D620

. Voodoo Battery

Also, make sure your BIOS is set according to the recommended parameters.

I've just updated my EDP (it was at v4 r71, now at v4 r110) and I've just re-run kext installation as per above list on my D620 GMA950 LoRes running SL 10.6.8 -> All Ok, except sound which I've lost.

We're looking at the Sound problem, meantime it works with 'VoodooHDA (more stable)'.

Well, I'd suggest to test this in Windows. Theoretically, X7xxx or X9xxx Extreme C2D CPUs could be supported by the D630, being FSB800 processors. As long as the BIOS does not reject them, there's no technical reason they would not work... They might just run hot (44W vs 35W on the "regular" C2D).

I think I remember reading on an overclocking forum that someone did indeed run an X9000 in a D630 and pushed it up to 3.7GHz by raising FSB to 1066MHz through PLL-mod! Impressive if it worked and was sustainable!

I, myself, am a bit unconvinced re: heat and cooling...

You do not have to first install SL to then install Lion. If you have the Lion ESD dmg image, as long as it is retail version, go straight with Lion.

Leave BIOS settings as they are, partition your HDD as GUID (you will just reformat your spare partition NTFS for Win7 for example), use your Lion image (though you lost with that last point, unless you lean installing Lion rather than SL...)

A little UP on this old thread, following work I've done on the Vostro200 to try and get my ATI X1300 graphics card fully working. Model is low-profile ATI Radeon Pro X1300/X1550 256MB (RV516 chip) with PCI vendor id 0x1002 and device id 0x7183.

I first used Syon's reported method of using Natit kext in /E/E to get full res (but no acceleration) and, after extensive research, found a documented way to do Chameleon injection. It's reported here: http://www.beejblog.com/2010/03/ati-x1300-pro-on-mac-os-x-snow-leopard.html . Credits to Beej (Brent Anderson) and Azimutz.

I've reached full QE/CI under SL 10.6.8 through the above method, adapted to myHack installations:

1a) downloaded Chameleon GraphicsEnabler branch from Azimutz (r1515 dated 2011 at time of writing) since it includes support for my ATI X1300 card (PCI dev id 0x7183). Obviously, one needs to check which models are supported beforehand...

1b) copied Azimutz's 'ATiGraphicsEnabler.Dylib' to /Extra/modules

1c) copied Azimutz's 'boot' to root of SL partition (use appropriate boot file according to your partition/OS arrangements)

2a) made copies of /S/L/E ATI1300Controller.kext + ATIX1000.kext to /E/E and patched to include my dev id 0x7183:

2b) replaced 0x7187 by 0x7183 in the Info plist of both kexts

2c) Using 0xED tool, binary patched MacOS/ATIRadeonX1000 module of ATIRadeonX1000 kext, replacing 81 FA 87 71 by 81 FA 83 71 at offsets 2E26F and BA2A27

3a) downloaded EVOenabler kext, version patched for ATI X1000 cards

3b) edited its plist to replace string "Alopias" by "Sphyrna" (=model with single DVI dual-link) and string "Radeon 1800XL" by "Radeon X1300"

3c) copied kext to /E/E

4) ran myFix (full) and rebooted. Voilà! full QE/CI under Snow Leopard.

Display sleep is also supported afterwards.

Oh, one more thing: thanks to Chameleon ATI injection + 32/64bit ATI kexts, 64bit kernel mode is supported ! 

NB: not tested dual display setup; that may require additional EDID info tuning in EVOenabler kext.

I don't know, but do a search on the forum. There are threads about it.

I would have sticked to Nawcom's method. If you have an SL image on USB, I would have applied ModUSB to that, copied the D630 nVidia DSDT from the bootpack to /Extra on the USB media and then boot off that USB key to proceed with installation. That does work. On 1st reboot, boot off the USB key, press ENTER and then select the newly installed SL partition. It's never failed for me with retail SL 10.6.3.

1) No, just run EDP, go to Fixes menu and simply choose Disable Hibernation

2) Only if you encounter the problem, if not, leave it

3) Again, just run EDP, go to the Installer menu and choose Install Chameleon. Run the package and install on your OS X partition/HDD (it's downloaded to "/download" folder). Then, I'd advise you to download a tool called Chameleon Wizard and copy it to Applications folder. Run it and update to latest Chameleon version through Dropbox in Installation tab.

To me, either your installer is duff (it happens when created under with VMWare) or your ML image is duff. You should have ZERO issue installing ML on a D630 nVidia 135m. Do you have a legit' retail ML copy or was that a torrent download?

There is now a D430 BIOS thread pinned at the top of the D4xx section. Adjust your parameters according to the recommended settings.

Well, if you did that on a non-DSDT D630 Intel HiRes, it would KP.

There's a also the eventual test with an external screen...

In my early (pre-myHack, pre-EDP) days of trying to install SL on my D630 X3100 HiRes, I was not using bootpack or DSDT and systematically got a black screen on boot completion. However, I could bypass that issue by booting on an external LCD (pressing Fn-F8 at startup) and, right at the point of launching the Mac OS X desktop, display would automatically revert to built-in LCD. Very awkward, but it would get me where I wanted to be! This was only fixed by using the correct HiRes DSDT.

In all likelyhood, you have an Intel 3945 wireless card in your D830 and that's not supported. You'll need to replace that by a Mac OS X compatible card such as DW1390, DW1395, DW1490, etc. These are Broadcom-based cards. Some Atheros cards work too. Do a search in the forum, there are tons of threads on this very matter.

DW1390 and DW1490 work OOB. DW1395 requires a kext to be installed in /E/E (either BCM43xxx kext or patched IO80211 kext). All these cards are available for pennies on ebay.

Ways to check which wireless card you have:

1) Apple menu -> About this Mac -> System Report -> Hardware -> PCI interface: Intel 3945 will be Vendor id 0x8086 and Device id 0x4222/0x4227/0x4888

2) From Windows, look at your Network Adapters under Device Manager

3) Remove plastic casing with On/Off button, remove all 3 keyboard screws and lift it. The Wireless card will be right under the keyboard. Read up the sticker.

Bios is updated to A18, not sure about the nVidia bootpack where can I get this and will I need it? everything seems to be working now, installing atm

Lookup at the top of your current forum window. Click on the "EDP" tab under the large "OSXLATITUDE" banner. Read-up the documentation and install ML following our MyHack-EDP process.

Ok, well just follow the process as documented in the EDP section of the web site. That'll get you through.

You would not boot 64bit kernel on that machine. You're using a myHack installer setup with our EDP D430 bootpack, right? What are the specs of your D430 (RAM, CPU, HDD)?

Are you using a retail copy of 10.8.2? It's required to have all installation files... Also, did you update your BIOS to A17/A18 and setup your BIOS parameters as per recommended settings?

I'm assuming that you're using the D630 nVidia bootpack, right?

Could you try to reboot with -v flag and report back what it says when it stops?

Mmm, blank screen issue might be resolved with DSDT patching, in a similar way as it's done for D620 or D630 GMA models. Worth investigating as it may avoid the need to patch the FrameBuffer kext and support update to 10.7.5.

Lion 10.7.4/10.7.5 should be reachable with replacement of AppleACPIPlatform kext with that of an earlier release (10.7.2 or 10.7.3 for instance). Copy the 10.7.3 version (or earlier) to /E/E and delete the other one from /S/L/E. Repair permissions + cache and you should be good for reboot to 10.7.4/10.7.5.

To answer a recurring question, here are recommended BIOS settings that are known to work on D430 (Intel 945GMS chipset/GMA950 graphics) under Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion (MLPF). These settings were tested and verified with BIOS A09 as well as custom OSXL BIOS A09.

Thanks, BIOs settings thread for the D430 now created here: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2036-bios-settings-d430

There are some parameters that you should change... Everything is slow because your USB ports are set to Compatible, i.e. slow mode.

Just re-run the EDP kext installation tool and select a different TrackPad kext. No need to remove anything manually beforehand. the EDP script takes care of everything for you.
