I got sleep/resume S3 functioning w/ 10.4.9 Uphuck 1.3 which is allowing both cores to work for me on my E1705 using Titan nvidia driver. I enabled NX, speedstep, and dual cores in the BIOS (i have a08), and I am using the SSE3-1 kernel that doesn't have speedstep enabled. Without enabling NX or speedstep in the BIOS I couldn't properly resume from sleep.

 

I have a E1705 T7200 w/ 7900GS FYI.

 

Rift,

 

Do you recall the specific options that you selected during the install?

 

Thanks

I chose the SSE3 kernel from March 26-07, no speedstep patch, or core2duo patches or acpi patches. I enabled NX, speedstep in the BIOS (even though I didn't choose the speedstep kernel, I was just testing things) and enabled both cores. I chose titan for the nvidia driver. I installed with cpus=1, and on first boot I booted with cpus=1 so I could setup the network and all the post installation stuff. After that I rebooted with cpus=2 fsb=166 fn=1 -v and put the system to sleep and woke it back up and both cores were functional. I will try later today with the speedstep, 64bit kernel from May 11 to see if that works as I never tried the newest kernel when having nx enabled. I tried it before with both cores and speedstep and nx disabled and it didn't work... i wonder if nx is the key here?

Do not use Titan, it's slower and does not support all cards.

 

Keep NX enabled.

 

Speedstep in the BIOS is enabled by default otherwise it forces a lower clock-rate and you get bad performance.

 

Sleep with the ACPI kernel works perfectly for me with my 7800 Go following the hibernatemode command.

What do you recommend I use instead of Titan? Natit? Nvidia Mobility? NvidiaEFI?

Natit Mobility isn't a stand-alone kext, you're supposed to use it in-conjunction with other kext's.

 

DiaboliK's Natit and NvidiaEFI are the two best kext's around at the moment :)

 

I already covered all these points in my guide though.

If you searched the forum before you screamed help you would've found out that it isn't possible with an ati x1400. the best you can have is 1024x768.

If you want to have a higher resolution, I'd recomment searching for a geforce go 7300 (dell part NJ887). This will allow you to use a different resolution.

HElp... i have an INSPIRON 6400 but with an ATI X1300 Mobility.....

 

I haven't QE/CI and my res is 1024x768..........

First i install the diabolik X1300 drivers.... only i got a black screen (i must reinstall OSX)

After, I install the diabolik mobility drivers..... but don't work.

 

Do you can help??

Okay, so, I got headphone jack detection working, finally. I also managed to get microphone input to work. However, there are still two problems to iron out before I release the working kext -- headphone input, although detected, still does not mute the speakers (though I am pretty certain I know how to fix this) and microphone input still does not play through the speakers. So, I'm at least half-way there; I'll keep playing until it's all sorted out!

 

Screenshots attached, for those interested.

Great news!

 

Glad to know you are making good progress with this tbcarey, gives us all something great to look forward to :)

Try the DiaboliK X1300 driver.

The header/into post states that 9200 isn't nailed yet but some have gotten basic audio throughput right? I know I had prior but now. . .(

 

Still no card reader, eh?

 

Here's to GarageBand '08 and aggregate audio.

The problem with the card reader is that it's mostly software driven. In Windows the card reader driver does all the work recognizing the memory cards, and making them work. Porting this driver to OSX requires someone with good coding knowledge and the proper documentation from Ricoh who made this card reader.

Dev/poster,

 

After a few tries I got the Sigmatel 9200 to work great. One needs to use the older v1.14 AppleHDA Patcher with the 9200 dump (not j or 1.16 versions as I had hoped). Please update that first page to correct this.

 

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act...ost&id=8128

 

This might help a lot of folks out.

 

Also, by adding an aggregate audio device one gets more than 2 inputs for GarageBand and simultaneously.

Actually, it doesn't matter what AppleHDA Patcher you use other than the fact that the old version allows Mute to work.

 

There's absolutely no need to update anything regarding this, as I have already mentioned tbcarey's fixes (both mute and sub-woofer) for sorting out the audio to work properly.

Is there any possibility to update uphucks latest 1.4 version from 10.4.9 to 10.4.10 with GMA950 adapter? I've found an updatepack on tpb but I'm not sure if it works.Where can I find the GMA950 kext which I've to store back after the update?I tried to install the newest iWork '08 and it requires os x 10.4.10 ;)

OK, I could solve this problem. You need to backup the intelframebuffer.kext.

 

My Fan is always running, in windows it nearly always of. I have got a dell 640m, is there any solution?

topan, there is a fix for the fan issue and I'm pretty sure it's in the uphuck dvd, the gma950 patch is in the uphuch dvd aswell I think it's under the intel vga section or something of the like.

after updating from 10.4.8 to 10.4.10, there is a little (big) problem. it seems like i cant open any .dmg files.. any solutions?

 

edit: ok, now i cant get into osx, it loads and i have this stutering but then it stops with a normal backgroundscreen, but no dock or anything.

Okay, so just an update on the Sigmatel progress:

 

a. Microphone input now outputs on the internal speakers and headphone jack (with volume control for both input and output).

 

b. Headphone jack now mutes the speakers upon detection, but also mutes the headphone jack output at the same time. 

This is incredibly frustrating, and I've spent a lot of time on this - I believe it is going to be much more difficult to address 

than I had initially imagined, as the problem lies in the fact that the headphon

jack and the internal speakers both share 

the same audio mixer, whereas all of the native Apple devices seem to have one a

dio mixer per output. I believe this is why

the subwoofer currently mutes upon headphone detection; it uses a different (mono) audio mixer than the speakers and

headphones. I am convinced there must be a way around this that I just haven't been clever or knowledgeable enough to

sort out yet, so I'll keep at it.

 

c. AppleHDA (and its plugins) are now updated to 1.3.3a, the latest audio update available via Software Update. This has added

the 'ambient noise reduction' option to Microphone input as well, for some reason (I'm fairly certain it existed before, but perhaps

wasn't previously supported by the STAC9220, which is what we're basing the 9200 support off of)

 

d. I managed to merge the subwoofer and stereo speakers into one audio output device, but have removed the subwoofer

support for the time being, whilst I am sorting out muting of the stereo speakers with headphone detection. I will add this

back in once I am finished with the rest.

 

 

AppleHDAPatcher seems to make a lot of assumptions about the layout and node pathmap configuration of the STAC9200, as

evidenced by the fact that it generates pathmaps based solely upon the codec ID, rather than the information contained in

the codec dump file applied to it, as I've previously mentioned. It may also be that it ignores the specified pin values and

substitutes its own hard-coded values based upon codec ID as well, but I can't be certain. I think I may put that to the test

in the near future, just to see if that's also a problem that needs to be addressed.

 

Will keep you all updated -- sorry for slow progress, but I've been caught up in many other things so haven't had a great

deal of time to allocate to getting everything working. Hopefully it won't be too long!
