Dope, I’ll see if I can find some on Craigslist. Thanks for your help.

Great!!! 

I replaced my DSDT with DSDT you provided and it worked! I now have full graphics acceleration. Thanks a lot

Oh I was hoping that I wouldn’t need it. I don’t have one but at least I know that it’ll definitely get it working

I've tried booting with the lid closed and the keyboard and monitor plugged in, it boots to the Bootloader but once it gets to the desktop, the screen goes black on my monitor and if I open my laptop, I can see that the screen is on at the desktop.

Awesome, I’ll try it out when I get back from work.

So I should turn on my computer with the lid closed, and connect a USB keyboard and mouse and everything should work OOB?

Hello, I was wondering if it would be possible to hook up my Dell D820 to my 1080p monitor via VGA. On the compatibility page, it shows that VGA is supported on this machine so I am wondering how I could set it up so that the laptop screen is off and the monitor be the only display?

I used the one thats all the way in the bottom titled "Working Optiplex 790 (990)". That one has only one DSDT, I'll link it so that you can take a look at it.

790_Clover.zip

So I'm installing Mac OS Sierra and I'm trying to get my Graphics Card working but it won't.

Before I get into it, here are my specs: 

i5-2400 CPU

Zotac GTX 1050 Ti (Hooked up to my TV via HDMI)

8 GB RAM 

Dell Optiplex 790 Motherboard (I dunno the specifics off the top of my head)

Installing the web drivers does nothing and in 'About this Mac' it shows that the graphics is 'Display 3 MB'. The Web Drivers are selected in Preferences. I have EmuVariableUefi-64 installed, NvidiaGraphicsFixUp and Lilu installed. I have NVDIAWeb checked in config.plist. Editing the config.plist and enabling InjectNVIDIA makes the computer recognize my GTX 1050 Ti but it says it has 256 MB RAM so I'm stuck at that point. My limited hackintosh knowledge makes me believe that it could be my DSDT file as it is from a El Capitan pack found here. Honestly I'm contemplating if I should switch out my 1050 Ti for my 750 TI but I feel I'd run into similar issues.

Please help me out.

This guide applies to the Dell Latitude D820 nVidia model. It's just a summarised set of instructions based on work previously done by others several years ago, especially this site's members and admins. None of this is my work. Everything works Out-Of-The-Box except for the Wireless, but you can purchase a compatible WiFi card and use that instead. 

What you will need:

-Install Lion.app

-8GB USB Drive

-Modified Extras pack that has the correct kexts for your D820

-Dell D820

-Working Hackintosh or Apple machine in order to run myHack

To Start:

-Download the Modified Extras pack (found down below) and extract it to your Desktop. You will use this as your Extras pack, do not use the one from the Offical OSXLatitude site.

-Next, follow the Instructions set forth on the EDP Documentation page and download myHack. Follow the instructions made for the Chameleon bootloader.

-Continue on with the already made instructions. Click Yes if you are prompted about the MBR Patch. You should now have created a Lion Installation Drive,

-However, myHack will not ask you if you want to use a Custom Extras pack as mentioned in the Documentation. You will have to manually install them after myHack has completed its thing.

To get your custom Extras to the USB:

-Open up myHack again and select 'Install Extras'

-It will then ask where you want to install the Extras to. Select your USB drive.

-Then select the Extras folder that's on your Desktop and myHack should do its thing.

-That's it, you know have a USB drive ready to go.

Installation:

-Power on your D820 and go into the BIOS.

-Configure your BIOS to these settings.

-Insert your USB into your computer and and exit out of the BIOS.

-Press F12 to go into Boot Options and select your USB Device from the list.

-The USB should boot you into the Installation Screen after a minute or 2.

-Continue on with the pre-made instructions from this part of the Documentation.

-That should be it, you will reboot and find the OSX Lion works beautifully on the D820!!

D820 nVidia pack

It appears that that did the trick. I have fully working Hackintosh on my Dell D820. By the way, what wifi card would work with the D820. 

I've tried 'Install Extras' and it gives me the same result. I'm going to just reformat the USB and do a fresh install.

Understood, lol. I'll go ahead and use the myHack Installer. I assume it's as straight forward as selecting 'Install Extras' and follow the prompts, correct?

I deleted the old Extras just by plugging the USB into my iMac and deleting it via Finder. I then, copy and pasted the new pack onto Extras folder. That's it.

It is the nVidia model. As for the '-f -v' flags, I entered them in and a bunch of text popped up and then it disappeared, followed by the black screen and the spinning beach ball.

So I'm installing Lion on my Dell D820, BIOs AO6, 4GB Ram, Core 2 Duo. I had to use a different Extras pack from this thread as the one I had before kept giving me Kernel Panics.

Anyhow, I'm booting into the USB, and all is good except it gets stuck on a black screen with the Loading Spinning Wheel. Probably trying to initialize the installer. Any tips?

 

Issue 

-------------------

Zero network connectivity with ethernet.

No wireless network connectivity 

No Sound.  

Not sure of what else yet 

Was able to copy the version of EDP and put on USB. 

Tried to install but it stopped when said needs internet connection. 

Did I miss loading something?   Is there a way to do this manually by loading on USB  from good machine and porting over?  

 

 

 

Vitals:

- Dell D820  

- Bios A09 

-Intel Core 2 CPU  T7200 @ Gghz  1.99 Ghz @2.00GB Ram 

-Display Adapeter Nvidia Quadro NVS 110M 

Network -  Not sure  I think it is a broadcom (Integrated) I have both an ethernet RJ-11 receptacle and Wireless on this device.  

Audio -  Not sure and not sure how to determine that.  

 - My hack latest version

-  USB Created this AM using the My hack

- Trying to install Snow Leopard 10.6.3  (brought brand new retail version of this release) 

 

What I did

===============

Everything finally installed right on 3rd attempt 

Loaded bootpack for Dell D820 through Extras (Selected use my own) 

 

Booted up.. got the welcome to Mac screen with the visuals and prompts to register etc.  

However noticed in install log that it did not load (Wireless)  It said that this device did not have it  (It does)  

It did not load sound, sound is disabled 

No network connectivity.  Connected ethernet cable due to no wireless working, would not give me an ip address.  

Ran My Hack from USB again using the My fix (seeing if that would correct?)   It didn't 

 

Looking for suggestions please 

 

If you are still having a problem, use the D620 Pack found here: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_id=7463

Install ONLY the Ethernet Kext and reboot. Go into System Pref. and go into Network and apply the New Interface Found prompt.

I have the same model with the same question and it got fixed using this method. 

Understood, thanks Herve for your help!

Which kext did you use? I'd expect you to use AppleBCM5751Ethernet kext as available in the D4x0 or D620 packs.

 

The LAN card should be the same as in the D430/D620 but please post the output of Terminal command lspci -nn or a saved SysProfiler output to verify.

Thanks, I used the D620_GMA950_LowRes_10.6.8 Pack for the Ethernet Kext and it works perfectly! I am running 10.6.3 currently but I'm sure that it will run on 10.6.7. Thanks again. I'll change the title to solved.

lspci -nn gave me these results:

I used the kext from the D820 pack, I'll switch over to that kext soon. I'll come back when I installed the kext. In the meantime, I'll post the Terminal command once I find my laptop.

Yep. Integrated NIC is Enabled and without the PXE/PRL Boot option.

I installed the appropriate ethernet kext for my Dell Latitude D820 but when I go to the Network Setting in System Preferences, it says No IP Address and if I put one in... it still won't connect to the internet. I think I might have to configure everything by myself..because in Network Diagnostics, everything is failing. Oh well. 

Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: Solved using the D620_GMA950_LowRes Pack Ethernet Kext, found down below.
