your dsdt doesn't work on my D630 - the monitor remains blank when i boot into x32 - is there anything that has to be done?

I found a problem.With your ps2controller ,my touchpad didn't work.I had put AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext and VoodooPSController.kext into /S/L/E and rebuild the extensions.mkext.Can you give me some suggestions?

After much difficulty this kext pack is now mostly working for me (only the trackpad fails). One of the big issues was that the video drivers for GMAX3100 did not work...perhaps they are only good for WXGA and not WXGA+ like I have. In any case, a generous soul provided working drivers in this post:

Another key to success was that (using Chameleon 2 RC3) having extensions in /Extra behaved differently from having them in /System/Library/Extensions. I moved everything to /S/L/E/.

Also note that, while I'm not sure of the necessity of having done so, I booted in Linux, dumped and decompiled the DSDT, edited in the "usual" ways, and recompiled it. I basically followed what you see in the link below:

I have D630 with intel video. I installed 10.6 and the kext pack.
If I boot in 64 bit mode, sound is ok, but video resolution is only 1024x768. in 32 bit video is good, but no sound.
What am I doing wrong? thanks!

Not sure if this would work (it should work in 32bit mode for sure), but try fixing the sound this way. Download one of the original packs:
Old X3100 pack: http://www.box.net/shared/5dxqfrx5oz <-this one for you
Old NVIDIA pack: http://www.box.net/shared/xhi6evrq1s

1. You should see a VoodooHDA.kext. Drag it into Kext Helper b7 (download it if you dont have it)
2. Open folder called VoodooHDAHelper, drag the Voodoo HDA Helper program into your Utilities
3. Copy the folder VoodooHDA to Your_OS_X_disk/Library/
4. Add application Voodoo HDA Helper to list of login items in
System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items
5. Double click and install VoodooHDA.prefPane.

This is how I fixed my sound multiple times, works for me in 32 bit, I haven't tried 64 yet. Let me know if it works.

Hi all I have 2 issues.

1. when install the kext pack and then reboot all I get is the loading screen with the loading icon and then a little box apears after a while with a circle with a line through it. like I can't do something but I don't know thats going on.

so I reinstalled SL...

I extracted the kexts from the pack and just installed AppleBCM5751 and my ethernet card is dected and getting a valid Ip address from my router but I'm unable to get any access outside my network. hope someone might have an idea of whats going on. thanks

First, thanks for this installer. I have managed to get everything working on my Inspiron 1720 except the x3100 graphics. Been working on this for over a month. Am on 10.6.2 and after installing your pack, upon starting up, either in 64 or 32 the screen is blue than gets deeper in color (purplish) and thats as far as it goes. However, when I start in safe mode, i have full 1400x900 resolution and system profiler shows the kexts as loaded. Any idea why I can't boot in normal mode, 64 or 32? Used my own dsdt, maybe something in there is causing it? Kinda new to this, any help appreciated. Thanks.

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...owtopic=142434

I've applied the fixes for HPET, RTC, Aliases, Local0 and MUTE using the patcher. Then I've manually fixed the "1 Errors, 9 Warnings, 7 Remarks" that I was getting with iasl.

It went easier than I've thought, and Google was my best friend. It helped me fix all but one remark, one that people say it can be safely overlooked. On a sidenote, I've had exactly the same results with iasl under linux, so I assume this windows version works quite identically.

Now, with a patched, cleaned and recompiled dsdt file, hopefully I won't even need a hpet kext anymore. Nor I will need the Disabler, and other dirty hacks.

msingh says that the nVidia Quadro NVS 140M on the D830 may (miraculously) work out of the box on a vanilla install.

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...owtopic=187356

I still have to test that one, and confirm if it's true. Maybe I'm lucky and my graphics card was natively used in some macbook variant. Otherwise, I'll have to throw in the nVidia files as well, and cook them with the rest.

I think I'll give it a shot today, and come back with more info as soon as I'll get all this stuff up and running.

Cheers, and good luck!
