Anyone run across losing video after rebooting? It seems like it boots ok, but no video on laptop display nor on an external monitor via hdmi port. Not really sure how to troubleshoot it.

Has anyone attempted to use a docking station before? Everything works great on the laptop itself, but when docked, there is no video on the external display. The display is hooked up via dvi to the docking station. Just curious if anyone has tried and/or gotten it to work.

For those with the e6430 and a quad core cpu, is the activity monitor supposed to show only 1 cpu graph? I would think that it should at least show 4 for the 4 cores or maybe 8 with hyperthreading. My macbook air shows 4. Just curious if I maybe missed something that would enable full cpu.

I believe i have the 1540. Is there a quick way to check from within osx from command line?

Looks like I've finally got it all loaded. Only thing not working right now is wifi. I have the dell wifi adapter. I'll start looking into that now. Thanks for all the help.

I tried a few more times tonight, but still no luck. I'm not able to *install* after applying the replacement Extra folder to the myhack installer. On boot to the flash drive i get a few EBios read error's and it just sits there. If I go with a plain myhack installer, I can at least get osx installed but back to where I can only boot into safe mode. What I tried was installing using a plain myhack installer, then applying the new Extra folder and running the myfix from the terminal as suggested. Everything looks to run ok and prompts to reboot. Not much changed in that I cannot boot without the flash drive and I can still only boot into safe mode. I have the same cpu, i7 3720QM, but my screen resolution is only 1366x768. I updated the chameleon boot plist in the extra folder with the proper resolution but it didnt make any difference. I'll keep hacking away to see if I can get some sort of combination working. Thanks again for the help.

Has anyone successfully gotten 10.8 installed and working on an e6430 with the optimus video (nvidia/intel)? I can get it installed but I'm unable to find any sort of combination of drivers to be able to boot without turning on safe mode. I know the EDP has the e6430 in there, but I dont think you can successfully install EDP while in safe mode. Just curious if anyone else out there has had any success with this model latitude. Any help is greatly appreciated. My model specs: i7 Quad CPU Optimus video (nvs5200m/intel hd 4000) 16gb ram Dell wireless 240gb ssd
