Hi FrostyTheSnowman, First of all, thanks for your patience and help! Sorry for the delay on answering you, but I still haven't the time to check the procedures you informed. I will try this weekend and let you know how it worked. Best regards, Pablo Iglesias

Hi Hervé, Jake, FrostyTheSnowman, I really appreciate your very quick response, clarifying my doubts. Hervé, will try the approach of declaring an external method, as it's the easiest. But at the same time, I agree with copying SSDT content inside to DSDT so it will be compatible with future version of BIOS. As my display is 1366x768, I'm not planning to update my BIOS, keeping with the first option. Jake, I got the bootpack you referenced and it worked perfectly. Thanks! I did all the changes in the config.plist and it's booting perfectly with external monitor and much better performance! It seems that the sleep is not working, then I disabled for a while. About the SMBIOS MBA 6.2, this is a Haswell cpu and e6430 has an Ivy Bridge. Does it matter when creating the SSDT.aml via ssdtPRGen.sh script? FrostyTheSnowman, I really appreciate your kindness on helping me. May I ask you (and the others too) few more questions? 1. I didn't find the PNLF method to insert in the DSDT. Is it the '[igpu] Brightness fix (HD300/HD4000)' patch that I need to apply? 2. I was looking around, but I could not find the 'backlight code for Nvidia' to replace the content of the _DSM method in the SSDT-7.dsl. Could you help me to find it? I will continue reading related posts. 3. I could find the _DSM method in SSDT-7.dsl and inside the DSDT.dsl. Should I clean only in the SSDT-7.dsl file, or both including DSDL.dsl. 4. About the _OSI to XOSI, I did inside the config.plist via Clover patch. If I create the SSDT with XOSI method to set 'Windows 2009', should I saved in /EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched? Which name should I use SSDT-n.aml (where n is a number from 0 to 9)? Does it matter to use any that doesn't exist? Thank you all for the help! Best regards, Pablo Iglesias

Hi FrostyTheSnowman, Great job on this topic! I'm trying to activate the Nvidia 5200M in order to use an external monitor through a docking station using the Display Port connector. I already have this working on Yosemite and I'm trying to enable on El Capitan. Have plans to install Sierra, but not now due to software compatibilities. I'm facing some issues during the compilation of the DSDT and I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong. I can understand most of the topics about Hackintosh, but DSDT/SSDT is something very unclear to me. I read lot's of posts related, but the problem is with me and I can't understand clearly. I'm getting a compilation error below because (I suspect) I didn't imported the Nvidia SSDT-7.dsl into DSDT.dsl. In fact, I don't know how to do it. Just merge the files? Is there any specific place in DSDT.dsl to insert the SSDT-7.dsl content? Should I copy part or full SSDT-7 content? DSDT.dsl 6839: \_SB.PCI0.PEG0.VID._OFF() Error 6084 - Object does not exist ^ (\_SB.PCI0.PEG0.VID._OFF) DSDT.dsl 6898: \_SB.PCI0.PEG0.VID._ON () Error 6084 - Object does not exist ^ (\_SB.PCI0.PEG0.VID._ON) I'm using the RehabMan iasl command with ACPI 6.1 in the terminal to compile. Another doubt that I have is about the _OSI to XOSI. I could insert in the Clover DSDT patch, but I didn't understand how to apply into DSDT. Is just a matter of renaming _OSI to XOSI inside DSDT? This USB3 step is a little bit confusing for me. Another part that I'm in doubt is the "added backlight properties to Nvidia _DSM (not needed for Intel)". And in the other part you mention "- Nvidia _DSM cleared and replaced with injection of backlight properties". Should I remove the _DSM methods via '[syn] Remove _DSM methods' or only remove the method content? Where is the content backlight properties? One thing that I'm curious, you mentioned to extract DSDT with Optimus activated. But I will use it deactivated to use the Nvidia card, is not a problem? Shouldn't extract the DSDT with Optimus unmarked on BIOS? I'm sorry to have all these questions, but I'm failing to enable the Nvidia card. Best regards, Pablo Iglesias

Hi RobertB, Good to know that worked for you with Patel4Prez updates!

Hi Patel4Prez, I wrote a new topic about the SD Card reader in Latitude E6410. See the link below. https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/5859-sd-card-reader-on-latitude-e6410/ Hope it helps!

Hi Patel4Prez, First of all, just to congratulate you for the great guide to install Mavericks! I would like to give you some suggestions about your guide, but I'm not sure if it's the right topic. Let me know where is the best place to do so. Not sure if you already have the SD card reader working, but mine is working fine so far. I haven't tested extensively, and it's impossible to cover all the scenarios. Just reading and writing on my E6410. Let me know if you want to cover on a new topic. Thanks, Pablo Iglesias

Hi Brainlobe, In order to have the shutdown working properly, you will need to patch the DSDT. At least worked for me. You can find a patched DSDT.aml for Latitude E6410 in the topic of Patel4Prez to install the Mountain Lion. The link is below: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1695-e6410-mountain-lion-guide/ Search for the file "E6410 ML 10.8.4.zip", extract the DSDT.aml file and save it in /Extra of your Mavericks installation. After this, you need to edit the "/Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist" and insert the lines below: <key>DSDT</key> <string>/Extra/DSDT.aml</string> You can use the Chameleon Wizard that's easier to edit the "/Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist" file. After, just reboot to read the DSDT.aml configs. Try to shutdown and check if it works for you. Hope it helps! Thanks, Pablo Iglesias
