Just to let you know that I took the laptop over to the owner (Patricia 76) this afternoon. While she had been waiting on me getting it working she had been using an old Fujitsu laptop running Windows XP. She hated the thing.
She is absolutely delighted with her Hackintosh so much so that she has just sent me a text asking me to thank everyone who helped. I would like to add my thanks again too.
Right, I'm nearly there but, after restoring everything, the sound has gone. I reinstalled Soundflower and that made the sound bar become active but I still have no sound. Any suggestions?
Thanks Hyram. I tried putting those lines into the plist but I'm not sure where I should insert them. I tried a couple of places but it didn't make any difference. When I rebooted the display was still wrong. I'm also finding it very hard to do anything because the trackpad is misbehaving badly.
Can you help me find resolutions.dylib please?
*Update 1 - I have found it already in the Modules folder but the display is still wrong.
*Update 2 - I tried installing the first trackpad option and now the laptop won't boot.
Hooray! I've finally managed to log in! I haven't been able to do that since the end of November. I think that some over-enthusiastic anti-spam software at the forum was responsible as I kept getting told that my email address had been marked as spam and I couldn't log in.
Anyway, I'm afraid to report that I'm no further forward with the D630. The same problem remains and I don't know how to fix it.
I am reluctantly considering just putting Windoze 7 back on it and giving it to the owner that way.
I'm afraid that's made things a lot worse. The trackpad is now jumping about randomly and I can't do anything with it at all and the display is still at the wrong resolution.
I'm noticing a couple of odd things happening.
Firstly the display is only showing as 1024 x 768 whereas it should be 1280 x 800. It looks OK when I boot from my installer but from the installation itself only 1024 x 768 is available in the Display preferences.
Secondly the trackpad doesn't respond when I use one finger. It only works properly with two fingers, i.e. it acts as if I was using one finger when I use two!
Any ideas how to fix these?
