Nothing so far. Didn't have any time to try it. Sorry....

thanks, Herve, I willt try.

In the compatibility-list for Yosemite the latitude d630 is shown as fully compatible. This laptop is even older then the m4300, so what is the point that the m4300 is shown as not compatible at all? Is there any way to get yosemite work on m4300? Thanks for any reply, chapolote

Hi Carnch I also own a M4300 with Quadro FX360M and have also the problem of booting into an Blackscreen quiet often. Could you please describe a bit more for me, what exactly you did by patching the DSDT.aml file. I would appreciate a lot. By the way: I'm turning crazy with a strange behaviour at least in firefox: very often, when I write in any kind of textfield, I suddenly cannot write anymore. On any tap the systems gives me a sound like a birdtwitter. I first has to click in another textfield for continuing writing in the origin textfield. No idea, what this comes from and how to avoid it. By writing this, it happened to me several times. When I put the cursor back to a previous word in this text any tap results in this twitter. After putting the cursor out of this textbox, tapping once and the going back to the textbox lets me write again. Strange, isnt it? Any idea?

And my day as well! Thx ))

Sorry Simon, can't confirm your problem. But, if you are German, maybe -> this <- article helps you: its remapping your keyboard to german PC-Layout. Cheers, chapolote

After several tries and errors i found out, that just the Alps touchpad driver ANV/Slice Alternate works fine in my case. At least one last question (hopefully): my usb-installer for mavericks boots just, if I disable bluetoth in bios-settings. Otherwise it stucks searching a bluetooth-keyboard and won't continue booting. How can I leave bluetooth enabled in Bios and disable the search for bloototh-keyboards in my usb-install.stick? Thanks and cheers, chapolote

This is good to know One more question: wich kext is supposed to be the best for the touchpad in M4300? Standard selection in EDP (Alps touchpad driver ANV/Slice) doesn't work really well, the touchpad isn't smooth at all....

Nice, very, very nice!!! It works! Thanks a lot Hervé!!! One of my basic faults was, that i didn't realize, that when I run EDP, always my modified FakeSMC.kext was replaced again and again withFakeSMC 4.x. provided by EDP. Like this nothing could work.... I'm happy, that I realized that, but.... As i don't wanne stay as stupid in handling hackintosh as I still feel, I would need some basic information, how this all works with /E/E, myhack, EDP and Chameleon. Do you have a tip for me, where to find a documentation about that (didn't really find something deep enough on osxlatitude or myhack- website so far), or would it be possible, to post some questions here to get help in this? I suppose it wouldn't take a lot of time to satisfy my hunger for comprehension Cheers an thanks so far, chapolote

I guess, that means, I have to disable EmulatedSpeedstep as we'll? I will try... Well, I did a new build with edp post-installation tool. Isn't this the same?I'm still not very comfortable with MacOs X, still infected by handling my Os like a win-system. Therefore I'm still often confused how easy things work on MacOs X. What I wanna say: removing a kext from /E/E is 100% what it needs to disable it or moving it there is all it needs, to establish a kext? As win-user, I would ask: no registry-entries? Nothing else, somewhere else? I will check and post the results here. What's about the patch for AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement? Should I leave it disabled? Thanks, chapolote

Hi, After reading the article about Performance tuning with FakeSMC & SMBIOS, after reading this topic and after reading this topic (thanks a lot to the authors) i did the following with my Precision M4300 with T7500 using Maverick: I disabled IDA I changed with Chameleon Wizard to MBP5.1 I updated FakeSMC kext to v5.1.59 using SMC-Version 1.33f8 I disabled NullCPUPowerManagement I disabled SleepEnabler I left Patch for AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement disabled I left Emulated SpeedSteps enabled I checked in Chameleon Wizard Generate P-States, Generate C-States, Enable C2,C3,C4 State I'm quiet happy, that the system boots without kernalpanic. With reference to to the articles mentioned above, speedstep should work now. But HW-Monitor 2.3.7 shows me a CPU-Frequency of x15360.0 steadily, no matter what I do. I tried to stress my CPU by writing yes in a terminal window with the result, that cpu-usage got to 100%, but nothing changed in CPU-Frequency. The T7500 should make 2.2 GHz, but it seems to get stucked on something around 1.5GHz. Do anyone know, what else i could try to get speedstep working? And how do I confidable check, if speedstep works or not? Thanks for any advice, chapolote

ok, i will try MBP5.1. Thanks a lot so far. Should i disable then PStateMenu? Regards, chapolote

Ok, need some help on this: you say: use MBP5.1 as smbios. If I understand the mentioned article well, i don't have to modify the downloaded FakeSMC.kext to smc-version 1.33F8, because it is already modified. Correct? On the other hand, following the article, the MBP which matches best Precision M4300 should be MBP3.1 with smc 1.16f11. Is it correct, that this would be translated in 6bit 01160F00 0011? So, are you sure, that MBP5.1 matches to my M4300 better then MBP3.1? I mean, if one, you should know Regards, chapolote

Hi, something seems to be wrong with cooling management working with osxlatitude. Working with the same laptop under Windows, I don't have any issues, but under MacOsX after something like 2 hours of work, the laptop shuts off immediately and the body is extremely hot. After cooling down and a restart, I get the bios message, that the system was switched off to avoid damage. I'm not sure, but it seems like the cpufan just don't work properly under OsX. Anyone any idea how to fix this? Thanks for any help, Chapolote
