Does anyone know if hard shut-down damages the motherboard/ HDD/ or graphics card in anyway? I can't imagine that it would help constantly hard-shutting down. :hysterical:

 

Not entirely sure why it would do any damage. You don't really have a choice anyway if you are running OS X.

Fantastic work wingrunr21!

 

Let me post my state-of-play here, if I may...

 

System: M1330 XPS, T8300 320GB, 4GB

Wifi: 4965 (not working) - using DLink DWL-122 USB dongle

LAN: BCM 5907 (not working)

OS: Dual-boot W7-64bit & OSX iAtKOS 5i, updated to 10.5.7 via iDeneb upgrade

Graphics: 8400GS, using NVinject 0.2.2, dual monitor VGA/HDMI as per macgirl's thread

Sound: patched HDA for Sigmatel 9228 as per talisman's thread

UK keyboard: XPSM1330 UK mapping

 

Here's what doesn't work:

DSDT.aml - cannot seem to use SuperHai's as USB stops working - had to use iAtKOS' default

VoodooPS2 controller - unknown response from device - keeps giving the stuck keys '7' or '@' making it unusable

VoodooPower(Mini) - either (i) blocky response/audio or (ii) freeze-ups due to wrong voltage settings

Shutdown/Restart - known issue, goes away with NV EFI strings (resulting in crappy 1024x768 res)

Trackpad - no features such as tapping etc, double scrolling - because VoodooPS2Controller not working

Sleep/Clamshell - nada. Sleeping results in laptop resuming after 1sec.

CardReader - kernel panic

VoodooUSB - doesn't work

 

Any suggestions/tips to solve the non-working bits?

Otherwise it's become pretty much my defacto OS of choice these days!

 

Thanks again - and great work!

- Try looking for the synaptic 10.5.6 touchpad enabler(via google). Delete the vodoops2 controller, then run the synaptic installer. Do u by any chance have the DSDT.aml from iAtkos??

Thanks for that - found a good enabler based on the DellMini9 hardware, which I guess is similar.

Unfortunately the dpi resolution and mouse acceleration cannot be changed, which is my main problem as trying to use a USB mouse is just a nightmare right now. Any suggestions?

 

Also for anyone who has a dual-boot timefix problem, to prevent Windows from changing the time back by 1 hour everytime you boot into Win32/64, there's a registry key that needs changing.

 

I've got the iAtkos DSDT.aml file (it's the file on / isn't it?). If you need it I can email it to you.

Wingrunr21,

 

Can you update your great tutorial on how to set up smbios.plist with Chameleon 2.0RC1 bootloader with the m1330's? (or can you post your smbios.plist and your com.apple.Boot.plist so we can review)? i did various searches and was able to find some information but really non-specific to our m1330's (not to mention confusing trying to edit values). Is there a link explaining information to include/modify in the smbios.plist? I was unable to find specific info on this topic.

 

I am trying to get away from using the old 'injector' SMBIOSReslover.kext thus fixing my minor issue with 10.5.7 not reporting my hardware info correctly. It started doing this after the 10.5.7 update.

 

thanks in advance! :thumbsdown_anim:

Hi !

 

Wingrunr21, thank you so much for this outstanding guide and your continuos dedication on it ! :D

 

BTW as I check this guide on a regular basis, may I please propose you just a little suggestion ?

I think it would be really great if once you performe an update, you could place and kept "on colour" only the new added material (latest input, corrections and changes). This would facilitate recognition to keep track on the guide's improved status.

 

---

 

Also... I just thought to place here a couple lines in order to guide people to successfully apply Superhai's VoodooUSBEHCI fix (hope it may really help someone):

 

First open terminal

Then type: sudo -s

Type in your password

 

Then type: cd /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBEHCI.kext/Contents/

 

Now type: nano Info.plist

(FYI: note that "nano" its just a simple system editor tool that you may use for several scenarios).

 

Find your entry (with the arrow keys):

<key>CFBundleVersion</key>

<string>3.1.5</string> (or with any other 3.x.x number for this string).

 

Now just add under it the lines (type):

<key>OSBundleCompatibleVersion</key>

<string>1.0</string>

 

So, now it should looks just like this:

<key>CFBundleVersion</key>

<string>3.1.5</string>

<key>OSBundleCompatibleVersion</key>

<string>1.0</string>

 

Press "control + o" to write-on, and then press the "enter" key (or "return" key) so the changes apply to the "Info.plist" named file.

 

And finally, press "control + x" to exit "nano".

 

Yes, now you are done. :P so... close the terminal window.

You may want ro restart and/or repair your disk permisions and try out your new sleeping computer. ;)

 

...

 

FYI, in my case, instead of a "3.1.5" string on my Info.plist I do have a "3.2.5" string, but "sleep" works just great anyway... so in the end my Info.plist looks this way:

 

<key>CFBundleVersion</key>

<string>3.2.5</string>

<key>OSBundleCompatibleVersion</key>

<string>1.0</string>

 

I suppose this is due to my Leopard 10.5.6 (9G66) retail instal (instead of a 10.5.4 upgrade)... which BTW worked out flawlessly on my XPS M1530.

 

---

 

A little question... on this same Info.plist just above Superhai's fix entries, I do have this:

 

<key>CFBundleSignature</key>

<string>????</string>

 

Does anybody know the correct string value for this key ?

(I did google it but haven't found a relevant source yet)

Yes it is... I have done it. You must be doing something wrong.

 

I have tried a lot but nothings. So, now I have reinstalled all.

XP and Leopard (restored from previus CCC backup) but now the problem is this;

Xp dont start without generic cd inside.

I have chamaleon on Leopard and Chain on XP (dont start even I remove cahi from Xp)

I think is sometings about Xp mbr. :(

Is there any development in the nVIDIA kexts which cause the Shutdown/Restart issue to fix this problem so OS X can shutdown and restart proper?

 

And if anyone can use tapping with the touchpad under OS X, please PM or post it here so I can get it working :).

If you messed up your mbr this is what usually fixes it. This even works if windows can't read bcd anymore or if you have blinking-cursor issue, etc.:

 

1. Install Chameleon or PC_Efi Bootloader using either a custom OSX install cd e.g. iAtkos installing only the bootloader, or using a boot cd to start up OSX and then download Chameleon.pkg.

 

2. Insert Windows CD and boot from CD. When asked, select language and then repair options and open the command prompt. Note: This is based on a Vista DVD, works with XP CD too, but I don't remember exactly how to get into command prompt. You need to select repair console or something.

 

3. type:

diskpart

 

list disk

 

- select the disk with Windows install on it, remember the number (e.g.) disk0

 

type select diskX

 

list partition

 

- select the partition where you installed windows on and remember the number (N)

type select partition N

 

type active

 

after successfully setting the partition active type exit.

 

type bootrec /fixmbr

 

bootrec /fixboot

 

bootrec /rebuildbcd

 

select A for writing all windows installs to bcd.

 

Then type exit

 

type diskpart and follow the steps above again, but set OSX partition active this time. Do not type bootrec commands again, as they break your mbr again if an other partition than Windows one is set active.

 

type exit

type exit

 

reboot and boot from HDD. Now you should be able to boot in PC_EFI or Chameleon Bootloader and choose your OS. If you want to use the standard XP/Vista bootloader instead, you need to leave your windows partition active, download easybcd and add OSX install to your bcd. You will also need to use chain, so I think it's easier to use Chameleon/PC_EFI instead.

 

Hope that helps!

Hi Harry,

 

Refer to my post 484 above. Google Dell Mini 9 touchpad enabler and download the respective kext. I did and now have all the touchpad features enabled such as tapping, two finger scrolling, dragging etc. Hope this helps!

 

For anyone that's interested I've also got vanilla kernel 9.7.0 running and the power consumption/battery life is significantly better than 9.5.0. Now all I need to do is to figure out why VoodooPower keeps freezing on me while GenericCPUPowerMangement isn't...

Oh and thanks Piedras! Your tip helped me enable sleep properly (as opposed to it going to sleep only to wake up a second later). Just as a heads up for anyone, it did not work on Voodoo 9.5.0 kernel for me, I had to migrate to Vanilla 9.7.0 for it to work.

@itdoesnotwork

Thx so much, now all work fine, really fine.

 

Now the last things.

I have noticed that my GPU, when I work with Leopard, it becomes very warm, more regarding when I am under xp.

Its good or not and, there is a way to fix it?? Thx again to all.

Hi jkbuha,

 

Do you have an XPS1330 or an XPS1530 as i thought it would be better to keep the old appleacpips2nub kext for XPS 1530's?

 

Also, i'm in the same case as you for the voodoopower kext. I'm unable to use it as it's killing my system's perfs.

Do someone managed to get it work correctly with good pstates and tstats on an intel cpu T9300?

 

Last, as Chameleon RC2 is near from released, do you think we will be able to deep sleep working on our hacks?

 

EDIT : Does anyone has this kind of message in system.log :

 

"kernel RpcOut: couldn't open channel with RPCI protocol"

 

I've got plenty of these and my system freeze frequently last times.

 

Thanks in advance.

<br /><br /><br />

 

I'm on a 1330 - the old appleacpips2nub just kills my system so I need to remove it to get anything done.

 

Regarding voodoopower I guess what we really need is a dump of someone's working Info.plist for the T8300 and T9300 (or a link pointing us in the right direction) for this to work. In absentia I'm sticking to GenericCPU.

 

I'm not sure if RC2 will be able to solve the shutdown/restart problem (I really wish I get a solution to this - yesterday I thought I switched off my laptop but left it in my bag overnight to find a pressure cooker and an unhappy 9-cell battery) though I've got the problem solved for sleep using vanilla (and voodoo's) 9.7 as opposed to 9.5.0, AND VoodooUSBEHCI. Just to note I don't use clamshell display - I don't want my laptop to sleep every time I close the lid, but merely to switch off the display.

 

I don't have the RpcOut problem - have you tried dmesg | grep Rpc?

 

I've got a quasi-similar problem where occasionally just before shutdown/reboot I get a kernel panic with 'a device releasing the AppleHDA controller has corrupted the registry'. If anyone could shed any light on this it would be greatly appreciated.

Can someone please help me with my power management. My CPU tends to get really hot (in the mid 55 to 60C using superhai program) and also my clock is "off" ie. after like an hour, my system clock will be like 3 or 4 minutes behind, so after a few hours of use, my system time is almost 15-20 minutes off and until I autosync it doesnt get fixed. Please help!

 

I have a Dell XPS M1330 running 10.5.6, c2d T8100 2.1GHz installed with leo4all

Here's what doesn't work:

..

VoodooPS2 controller - unknown response from device - keeps giving the stuck keys '7' or '@' making it unusable

..

 

I had the same problem with the keyboard. Here's the solution for me (starting at step 2 then installing the voodoo kext.

My only missing piece is sleep. I've gone over the directions step by step and still same symptoms as you. After 1 sec it restarts itself.

Got sleep working.

 

1. Reinstalled 10.5.7 update

2. Reinstalled sound and wifi kexts

2. Deleted and reinstalled the voodoo kexts including the USB one you have to modify.

 

Works now.

 

Delicate. No more touchie!
