Perfect! That confirmed my suspicion that it seems to be the graphics card/kexts! What is your graphics card recognized as under OSX? I believe that because we removed the graphics kexts/osx doesn't have any graphics drivers at the moment, anything more than one screen may never work (yet)! Hopefully, with your help (since I don't have an Intel machine to test with), we can get this working!

Just for kicks, can you try plugging in just one monitor (DVI1) and keeping the lid open? By doing this, you should get full resolution on both the laptop screen and external one too. I know for a fact this works for me as I use this setup everyday, so if it doesn't work for you, that means that I messed up somewhere/left something out in the guide. Sorry this is taking so long and hopefully we can get you up and running shortly .

This was pulled from the "Updates" post directly beneath the guide : Intel Graphics ​For anybody with Intel Graphics, please see Jake Lo's Post for an overview of how to get it working. Please note, you WILL NOT have full graphics acceleration (QE/CI), only Core Image (CI)!

Try "-f" (without quotes)

Try taking out the Resolution.dylib (back it up to the desktop or somewhere else first) and editing the org.chameleon.boot.plist to reflect the resolution you want...

Can you get it to work under Windows/another OS? Also, what happens when you connect the second display through DVI only? Not VGA?

If you see the Dell logo/POST when booting the machine on one of the screens, then that means the display is in fact being output to at least one screen. If you don't see the logo, then perhaps you have a setting enabled/disabled in the BIOS that needs to be changed.

Might be a dumb question, but are you booting the machine with the lid closed? The laptop will only drive one screen with the lid open, but two with it closed, as that's all the graphics card can support.

Did you try the airportd fix in the Troubleshooting section in the first post?

EDIT: I just read that you want to keep Windows 7 on your machine! In my past experiences, I have found that the best way to go about doing such a project is to back up EVERYTHING to an external drive, doing a clean reinstall, and then restoring your data from there. In the end, this results in better performance, less crap on your hard drive, and a chance to make any upgrades you may have wanted to (OS wise). Dual booting with an existing Windows partition can be done, but it increases the chance of errors and isn't supported by default under OS X. If you still want to dual boot with the existing partition, post back here and I'll try to write a guide later. Here's a very rough guide I just wrote. Some of the things may not be called the same thing as I am doing this from memory, but it should give you a pretty good idea of how to get it done... If you have 2 hard drives and want OS X on one, and Windows on the other: Boot into the OS X Installation Disk and open up Disk Utility from the Utilities menu in the menu bar. Partition the 1st disk (select the top, local hard drive in the list (the one that isn't indented), move to the partition tab) as the following: Master Boot Record (Options... button in the bottom left of the Partition tab), 1 Partition, FAT, and give it any name you want Hit Apply Partition the 2nd disk (select the second, local hard drive from the top (the one that isn't indented), move to the partition tab) as the following: GUID Partition Table, 1 Partition, Mac OS X Extended (Journaled), and give it any name you want (as long as it's different from the first drive) Apply again Restart the machine (Apple logo in the top left, Restart) and boot to the Windows installation DVD/Flash drive/whatever you're using to install Assuming you're installing Windows Vista/greater, select your language if prompted, click Start Install, select custom, and find the name of the first disk in the partition list. Look at the number of the disk (It should either be Disk 0 or Disk 1) and delete the partition (advanced in the bottom right of the window, delete) you just created as well as any others that may be on that disk, until you're left with just one Disk 0 or Disk 1 and it says "Unallocated Space" next to it. Highlight this Unallocated Space and click Next Windows should install without any trouble. When finished, boot back into the OS X installer and Install OS X to the second drive. You should now have a successful dual boot on two hard drives. If installing on one hard drive: Boot into the OS X Installation Disk and open up Disk Utility from the Utilities menu in the menu bar. Partition the disk (the one that isn't indented), and head over to the partition tab in the top to do the following: GUID Partition Table (Options... button in the bottom left of the Partition tab), 2 Partitions, FAT for the first, Mac OS X Extended (Journaled) for the second and give them names you want, (just make sure they're different) Restart the machine (Apple logo in the top left, Restart) and boot to the Windows installation DVD/Flash drive/whatever you're using to install Assuming you're installing Windows Vista/greater, select your language if prompted, click Start Install, select custom, and find the name you gave the first partition in the partition list Click advanced in the bottom right of the window, and click delete Highlight the partition that just got deleted, click next, and Windows should install just fine. Reboot into OS X and install OS X to the second partition. When it completes, you should have a successful OS X/Windows dual boot. You can now perform all the necessary post install actions under OS X (and install an Windows drivers) needed to get your machine running smoothly. Post back here if you run into any problems.

I'm not sure what would cause the screen to go black as I haven't taken a look at the bootpack/this machine in general, but try booting with "-f"/"Ignore caches" in Chameleon (Boot from the flash drive, wait until you get the option to boot from the installation disk, then hover over it/keep it selected while you type "-f" (without quotes) and then press Enter). This may get your mouse to work, as it did for me on some of the machines I have worked on in the past.

Have you taken a look at/tried Deano019's post? https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/3115-mavericks-on-e6410-nvidia/page-6&do=findComment&comment=29106

Chose the Hard Drive when running a myFix; nothing on the Install Disk should be touched so there's no reason to fix the permissions. Do you have an Extra folder on your hard drive? Check by opening up a Finder Window and pressing "Alt+Shift+G" and then typing in "/Extra" without the quotes, and then Enter. If you see an org.chameleon.Boot.plist, a RemovedExtensions folder, and an Extensions folder, then you do have a /Extra folder and I have no idea why you can't select /Extra in Kext Wizard! Sounds like a very strange problem...

Please don't double post! Post in the relevant thread and someone will get back to you soon enough! Thanks!

Hey Fernando, First, make sure you are updated to the latest version of Mountain Lion (should be 10.8.5), and then replace the kexts in /S/L/E with these: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_id=1937 That should get you past the prohibited sign that you see when you boot from the hard drive. As for Steps 11 and 12, thank you for pointing out that the picture is incorrect. It should have /System/Library/Extensions selected, however the picture has /Extra selected instead. Follow the text of the guide and select /System/Library/Extensions in Kext Wizard.

Not sure why that is. Could it be a network/router issue? I don't know what your setup is like, but if you're connected directly to a router, try power-cycling it. I'm using Ethernet right now and it's been working for the past four hours. That's quite an interesting find... What do you mean by the monitoring being "perfect" vs. "not perfect"?

Go to System Preferences -> Sound -> Outputs -> and select speaker if you see it

VoodooHDA.kext Did you run the Post Install application?

It moves with the window and doesn't move after I stop. No more annoying trackstick-cursor-jerk! You still see the mouse jerk diagonally after stopping?

Hello dwarf_! Welcome to OSXLatitude! To answer a few of your questions, the graphics issue is a known problem, but cannot be fixed (ever, unfortunately). The problem lies in the graphics capabilities of your E6410. My guess (from what you're describing) is that you have Intel Graphics, which is incompatible with QE/CI, or full graphics acceleration. This means you only have CE, or half the graphics acceleration necessary to run OS X at full capacity. It is because of this that you will notice Launchpad take forever to load, Notification Center to glitch up, and the DVD player not able to open. Sound on the other hand should work fine. Did you follow the VoodooHDA.kext installation steps in the Post Installation section? In order for Wifi to work, you will need a Dell Wireless 1510. As for the Intel card that comes with the E6410, it may never work under OS X. Battery life under OS X should be close if not exactly the same as what you'd get under Windows, so I'm not quite sure why it indicates one thing but has a different capacity all together. Could be the Voodoobatery.kext. I'll check it out when I get a chance. You can remap the Command, Option, and Control keys under System Preferences > Keyboard. I'm not sure of the exact location of where it is, but I do know it's somewhere in there . As for your last question regarding licensing, I had a similar one when I started hackintoshing and this article explained it to me quite nicely.

Hang tight. I hope to add a fix for Shutdown/DSDT and the -f issue later on today (check back at about 1600 Eastern Time)...

Thank you for sharing this!

Welcome to OSXLatitude! A month of 10.8 in Virtualbox sounds rough! I played around with it for a week and got sick of it pretty quickly! Hopefully all goes well!
