If you tried your installation a week ago, you should be using EDP v4-r7. Run EDP tool and you'll see the version/release at the very top line.

My Logitech C250 (P/N: V-U0003, P/N: 860-000180) works perfectly on a D630 nVidia 135m running ML 10.8.1 installed through myHack 3.1.2/EDP v4-r7 method. Macam not even installed.

Yes, you were somehow limited at 600MHz !!! This is what I got after brand new (no restore) OSLX myHack/EDP ML installation: PS: I see you're in Thistle country... Where exactly?

Sounds like SpeedStep was not enabled, did you check in the BIOS setup? 600MHz is indeed the "default" slow speed. Have not experienced this with my T7500-based D630 nVidia under ML; it runs as expected with simulated SpeedStep and no CoolBook.

Tried option "arch=i386" at USB pen boot time? But, I must say, if you have the same issue with 2 different D830s, I'd point my finger to that installation USB key. May be you have a duff image to start with... I've had no problem installing SL or Lion on a similar D830 ; mind you, no it was the 135m nVidia model, not the 140m.

The officially and unofficially supported cameras are listed here: http://logitech-en-amr.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/6471/~/uvc-webcam-support-for-mac-os-10.4.9-and-above I've found that not all equipment bearing the listed product name, bears the same part # or model #. For example, I have a C250 and a QuickCam Pro5000 that I've tried under SL/Lion/ML. My C250 works properly under all releases and corresponds 100% to the info listed for that camera. My Pro5000 bears an identical model # (V-UAX16) but a different part # (861283 v supported 861306) and does not work under any SL/Lion/ML. It's probably worth checking the info on the label (if it's still there of course...). Sometimes, things are a bit weird with Logitech cameras: according to web site info, my QuickCam Pro 5000 is not supported under Win7 (Logitech provides no Win7-compatible driver or software for it) and, indeed, it does not work under Win7 x86. Yet it's fully functionnal under Win7 x64, obviously through a Microsoft built-in driver!

If the computer has gone to sleep, the power LED (at the outmost left on the right LCD hinge) dims up and down continuously; and fan should go quiet...

The X3100 is not supported under ML, so you'd have very poor performance (no acceleration), but yes, ML is installable on those D630s.

If it's not in /Extra/storage/apps, download Chameleon Wizard application off the web (available at kexts.com). PS: fixed my D620 sleep issue. I had somehow enabled USB wake in the BIOS! It's compatible with sleep on the D630, but not on the D620... Dooh! :$

Seems like nVidia...

Hi, just follow the procedure provided in the EDP section of the web site, making sure you use the correct bootpack for your D630. It'll be much more easier than the above guide, which is somehow obsolete nowadays.

Dellboy, don't know if it's worth checking but here is the contents of my Chameleon plist in /Extra (opened using Chameleon wizard).

I've encountered that very same issue these last few days on my D620 nVidia: when putting it to sleep, it just wakes up. The only thing I recall doing was updating EDP to v3 r431 and re-installing the kexts. Will have to try a re-install on seperate HDD to verify things, but it is annoying to lose something that worked really well before.

There is a non-EDP way to get SL installed, albeit with legacy kernel: with Nawcom ModCD/ModUSB. You'll still require the bootpack (simply copy it to /Extra on your installation media and install SL) but it'll get you through to a stable system. That is how I started on my D630.

Yes, so I find it interesting to identify those Logitech cameras that are not officially supported but do work with FT. In my case, the C250 (M/N: V-U0003, P/N:860-00180) does whilst the Quickcam Pro 5000 (M/N: V-UAX16, P/N: 861283) does not.

You could also buy a supported Wifi Broadcom card off ebay to get you networked. They cost peanuts, literally. I recommend Broadcom/Dell1390 (802.11b/g). Dell1490 (802.11a/b/g) works as well.

I don't use the predefined settings and choose to opt for my own: - VoodooPS2Controller - NullCPUPowerManagement: yes - SleepEnabler: yes - Emulated SpeedStep: yes - VoodooTSCsync: yes - Patched AppleHDA STAC9205 #1 (D630) - VoodooBattery Could you try that and report back? I also updated the Chameleon to v2.1 r2035, but I don't think this does anything for sleep support.

Having successfully got FaceTime to work with my webcam, I invite all who met success to provide their webcam specs below: D630 (Intel 1440x900), Lion 10.7.4 -> FT running with Logitech C250 USB camera (model: V-U0003)

No reason why yours would be different from others... If your disk is large enough, keep both Win7 and OS X, the latter being the default OS. With Lion, you should be able to install 10.7.3 without any difficulties before proceeding to 10.7.4. Regarding the Ethernet board, in the BIOS, is "Integrated NIC" set to "enabled" under on-board devices? With myHack, I guess you know that you create a 10.6 installer for SL, a 10.7 installer for Lion and a 10.8 installer for ML. Once the installer creation has complete, re-run myHack and choose 'Install Extra' option. When prompted for your source files, point to your downloaded bootpack. At the end of the OS installation, you'll be prompted to use a Generic /Extra or provide your own. Choose the latter and point to the /Extra folder of your USB installation key. You should then be able to reboot onto a minimal system, ready for EDP. The bootpack contains all the minimal requirements necessary to get the system to boot an operate, prior to fine tuning through EDP and/or others.

No need for the BIOS password on the D630 (in fact I did not need it on my D620 nVidia either), but do apply the hibernation fix after EDP kexts installation (Fix menu).

I'd go back to regular Dell BIOS. A17 or A18, both are downloadable off Dell's web site. I had trouble with the OSXL modified version and reverted back to original versions. In the BIOS: - set HDD mode to AHCI - disable IDA (CPU dynamic acceleration) - disable Wifi if it's an Intel board or remove it (only Broadcom cards are supported) As far as I'm concerned, no need to disable anything else (I even enable Wake on USB to get out of sleep with mouse move/click when laptop runs on mains). You should then be ready to rock 'n roll. EDP v3 supports SL, Lion or ML, so use it whatever you install. What CPU do you have in your D630 and how much RAM?

That's quite normal: it's just the speed (the lowest at that point) at which your CPU was running when you launched GeekBench. You'll probably see that if you quit GeekBench totally (not just close the main window) and re-run it, it'll show you a different frequency, probably the highest one too. If your Hackintosh runs the SpeedStep simulator, you can try and manually select a given frequency before you run Geekbench and you'll see that particular speed displayed at launch time. When operating in dynamic mode, the speed displayed does not make any difference to the end result.

I can mention this legal way for Snow Leopard: purchase a retail DVD or a retail image of Snow Leopard off the Apple web site (well worth the 29€ it costs and damn cheap too, has to be admitted). Then download a copy of ModCD and burn it to a DVD. You'll then be able to install a running version of SL on your laptop, but it may not be 100% complete and will use the legacy kernel. However, you'll be able to create a USB key of any kind with myHack.

Well, try with EDP v3 and add the BootPack/ /Extra folder during myHack OS X installer procedure.

If your existing C2D CPU is off a D620, yes it will work in any D620 mobo. All D620 support C2D CPUs, as long as they're Socket M and FSB 667. Socket P is a no-go.
