Dear Syonagar, You are right! After applying the GMA950 brightness fix from EDP 3, it looks perfect! Thanks again for your valuable advice! Regards, Jerome

After installing Lion 10.7.3, the screen looks darker than Windows XP. Even when using AC supply, and tuned to the highest brightness, it is still not so bright as XP. Have you guys encountered the same problem? Does this problem relate to the configuration of video driver? Jerome

Seems the problem is with Lion 10.7.4. After changed to 10.7.3, installation went smoothly, and finally I got Lion installed on hard drive and dual boot successfully with Windows XP.

Dear Syonagar, I followed your instructions: installed Extra bootpack for D430 and run MyFix full mode, and boot with mach_kernel arch=i386 -v -f. The installation hanged with the following information: ApplePS2Trackpad: ALPS GlidePoint v8.99 ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin::start - waitForService(resourceMatching(AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement) timed out ACPI_SMC_Idle_CtrlLoop::initPlatformCtrlLoop - p-stat count 4 so forced idle should be handled by ACPI_SMC_CtrlLoop - exiting DSMOS has arrived ACPI_SMCPlatformPlugin::registerLPCDriver - WARNING - LPC device initialization failed: C-state power management not initialized And I am using BIOS A09, with all settings by default. According to the BIOS, my video controller is Intel 945GMS Graphics (video BIOS version 1343, video memory 8MB). I got the same result without the boot option "arch=i386". I also tried to use the Generic Extra provided by MyHack. When booting without arch option, it hanged after showing the "C-State power management not initialized" message. When booting with "arch=i386", it got a kernel panic after the "C-State" message, saying that: Kernel Extensions in backtrace: com.apple.driver.AppleIntelGMA950(7,0)[...... dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.6.8)[...... dependency: com.apple.iokit.IONDRVsupport(2.3.2)[....... dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(2.3.2)[....... Can you tell me what's going wrong with my installation? Currently I am installing with 10.7.4. Shall I change to a lower version of Lion, such as 10.7.3 or 10.7? Thanks and Regards, Jerome

Dear Syonagar, Thanks for your valuable suggestions. Before I submit the above question, I already installed Extra boot pack and run MyFix full mode. I also tried to remove some files according to the articles in this thread, but no improvement. Now I will try to boot with mach_kernel arch=i386 -v -f to see if it works. Jerome

I am a new comer to this wonderful site. I got the similar problem as Alissa, and I am using MyHack 3.1. The installation hang even after I use MyFix. I want to try the MyHack 2.1 version, but there is no download link. Can someone tell me where can I download MyHack 2.1? Jerome
