Hi,

 

Have you tried the STAC kexts in the latest EDP 3.1?

 

Cheers!

Dear Adam,

 

Delete the ElliotForceLegacyRTC.kext and you should be fine.

 

Cheers!

Dear shhbz,

 

You can dual boot os x and windows with chameleon.

 

Cheers!

Dear hydo,

 

OS X does run the cpu hot in laptops. I think 50s is normal. Mine normally run around 60s.

 

Cheers!

Dear Adam,

 

So far our testing indicated that its most probably a nay even for nvidia models

 

Cheers!

Dear tengokuu,

 

What's the worst? I'll say this "Use At Your Own Risk" Personaly, i prefer not to mess with my hardware's vanilla bios or firmware. I'm too concerned that i'll accidently brick it with my adventurism.

 

However, if you are interested. We have a guide in the osxlatitude.com. Have a look at it.

 

Cheers!

Dear Rezmax,

 

I have not much experience with Intel HD 3000. There are several options to get graphics. Have you look for a kext that will inject it (i.e. you dev id)? Although apple may have vanilla kext that supports it, it need to be injected for the kext to be loaded.

 

Cheers!

Dear jmayo,

 

Support for snow leopard has been combined with other os x version in EDP 3.1. So just download EDP 3.1 and configure it.

 

Cheers!

Dear all,

 

We are pleased to announce that the latest EDP now supports Dell Optiplex 755 (with legacy ATI graphics cards such as Radeon X1300 128 MB).

 

Your feedback no matter how little is as always very much appreciated.

 

Cheers!

Dear A-Zed,

 

Nice guide.

 

By the way, is that grub legacy or grub2?

 

Cheers!

Dear Tengokuu,

 

Apparently os x will not allow n connection for non-airport wifi card. One way to get n connection is to rebrand your dell wifi as airport.

 

Cheers!

Dear clif,

 

We recommend that you do not mix different installation methods. If you decide to use our method please use it and only it.

 

Firstly, read through our installation guides in the osxlatitude.com website on how to create a usb installer, installing our bootpack into it and system configuration upon os x first boot up after installation.

 

For your information, our bootpack and EDP have support for E6400 machine.

 

Cheers!

Dear kelly,

 

Update your EDP to the latest version and there are options to install different sound kext. Hmm... if im not mistaken D430 may have issues with applehda and stac drivers but give it a try.

 

Cheers!

Dear dbyte,

 

 

Welcome to os x latitude.

 

Please read our installation guide in the osxlatitude.com website for a quick run down on how to install os x.

 

From my quick check, both E6220 and E6320 models have similar chipset.

 

You can try to use the bootpack for E6220 for the usb installer and EDP for E6220 to configure your os system upon first boot.

 

Cheers!

Dear all,

I have successfully installed 10.7.4 on my Dell Optiplex 755 at work. So far it has yet to kernel panic on me. So i guest its a rock solid desktop machine for os x lion.

The following are my system general specification:-

- Dell Optiplex 755 (Small Form Factor)
- Intel Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHz
- 1333 Mhz System Bus
- 800 Mhz 2 GB DDR2 Memory
- Intel GMA 3100 (Built-In Graphics Card)
- Radeon X1300 128 MB (Dedicated Graphics Card Installed On PCI Slot)
- Bios Version 21
- Intel 82566 LAN Network Card

The following are my Extra configurations:-

dsdt.aml : dsdt.aml created and refine by camilo and maldon from here : Dell Optiplex 755 DSDT, Vanilla SpeedStep+Sleep working ...

smbios.plist : iMac 9.1 created from chameleon wizard or champlist

Extra Extensions : Common kexts from latest EDP as follow:-
- AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext
- AppleHDADisabler.kext
- ApplePS2Controller.kext
- FakeSMC.kext
- IntelCPUMonitor.kext (Tjmax in info.plist set to 100)
- NullCPUPowerManagement.kext
- Patched_10.7_AppleRTC.kext
- SleepEnabler.kext
- lspcidrv.kext
- VoodooHDA.kext
- VoodooPState.kext (including PStateMenu.app in /Extra/bin)
- VoodooTSCSync.kext

Specific kext for Optiplex 755 as follow :-
- Intel82566MM.kext (For LAN Network Card)
- Natit.kext (For Radeon X1300 128 MB - Also provide support for other legacy ATI card)

I still have the following issues to be resolved:-

- The built-in Intel GMA 3100 graphics card is not supported by os x. The optional Radeon X1300 128 MB dedicated graphics card installed on the pci slot is supported out of the box using graphics injection from natit.kext (this kext provide graphics injection for legacy ati cards. The main branch of chameleon has drop support for these legacy kexts. Its actually originally used for leopard / snow leopard and thank god it worked nicely on lion). So far my attempts to inject from dsdt.aml or chemeleon (Azimutz branch) has not worked. So if anyone has a lion version of the natit.kext or successfully inject legacy ati graphics from dsdt.aml or chameleon i would love to hear about it.

- System Sleep / Stanby no working. So far on monitor goes to sleep. But can wake with keyboard and mouse. I would love to hear from someone that have a solution for this too.

Well, there you go. Enjoy!

I also attached my Extra folder below. Feel free to test it and provide feedback. We are in the process of adding it into EDP.

Extra - Optiplex 755.zip

Cheers !

Dear chasmataz,

 

We are in the process of including Optiplex 755 support in EDP. We hope you can try it out once its available.

 

Cheers!

Dear elim,

 

From my experience, restoring clones of an os x partition to another new os partition will cause chameleon to still boot the old os x partition. Its because when os x boots it traces the guid number of the old partition. I'm guessing this is also the case for clone restored to external hard disk. If i'm not mistaken installing chameleon to the new os x partition is one way to solve it. Maybe this new insight may shed you some light on your problem.

 

Cheers!

Dear dellboy,

 

I looks like an intel wifi. It is not supported by os x. So you need to replace it with a supported broadcom wifi.

 

Cheers!

Dear Madmax,

 

I think the download link is working again. Try it.

 

Cheers!

Dear ianyo,

 

You need to disable bluetooth or bluetooth keyboard in settings.

 

Cheers!

Dear sinan,

 

 

Otherwise, I think to can try to remove the

Dear elim,

 

I think you need to install /Extra on the first os x partition in the external hard disk.

 

Cheers!

Dear becket,

 

Have you tried to reinstall chameleon from myhack?

 

Cheers!

Dear tman,

 

Yes. Sleep is working on my D630 Intel GMA X3100. Actually, its working quite well.

 

Cheers!

Dear karpais,

 

It looks like you need to apply the coolbook fix (i.e. replace the appleacpiplatform.kext). Search the forum on the topic on 10.7.4 for a download link.

 

The other option is to update your EDP to the latest and run it.

 

Give it a try.

 

Cheers!
