hibernatemode 0 and 3 are working now (maybe because I'm booting with arch=x86_64 now), hibernatemode 1 isn't working but that doesn't matter cause I prefer Suspend-to-RAM (I got an error after resume at the bootloader => secure memory is not supported, press any key to continue with normal boot). USB 3.0 is working after sleep too. I replaced old PXHCD.kext with this one http://www.kexts.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=612. Only LID and HDMIAudio are missing now.

 

How to understand does not work LID,write more details.

How I understand it: LID is the Laptop Display, right?

If I close the Laptop, the Screen and the background light stays on and doesn't shutdown.

I tried the LidSleep.kext (http://www.meklort.com/?p=250) but with bad result. The Display background light goes off, but if I reopen the display, the laptop simply restarts. No KP, no Message.

I have LID works perfectly:

S0, S3. S4 Ok

S5 LID has closed sleep, LID has opened it is necessary to press Power the button that laptop has left from sleep.

I have so in DSDT.

Device (LID0)
	 {
		 Name (_HID, EisaId ("PNP0C0D"))
		 Name (_PRW, Package (0x02)
		 {
			 0x0A,

			 {
				 Acquire (^^PCI0.LPCB.EC0.MUT0, 0xFFFF)
				 Store (0x02, ^^PCI0.LPCB.EC0.WKEV)
				 Release (^^PCI0.LPCB.EC0.MUT0)
			 }
			 Else
			 {
				 Acquire (^^PCI0.LPCB.EC0.MUT0, 0xFFFF)
				 Store (Zero, ^^PCI0.LPCB.EC0.WKEV)
				 Release (^^PCI0.LPCB.EC0.MUT0)
			 }
		 }
		 Method (_LID, 0, NotSerialized)
		 {
			 If (LEqual (ECON, Zero))
			 {
				 Store (One, LIDS)
			 }
			 Else
			 {
				 Acquire (^^PCI0.LPCB.EC0.MUT0, 0xFFFF)
				 Store (^^PCI0.LPCB.EC0.LIDA, Local0)
				 Release (^^PCI0.LPCB.EC0.MUT0)
				 XOr (Local0, One, LIDS)
			 }
			 Store (LIDS, ^^PCI0.GFX1.CLID)
			 Return (LIDS)
		 }
	 }

Guys I not the expert on correction DSDT, but I shall try to add in yours DSDT all that I have.

Also I shall publish the instruction on installation LION (I have installation now occurs very simply)

But all this will be in a weekend (there is no time a lot of work).

And as you have understood to me hard to write in English :thumbsup_anim: .

Hey, I decided to go with osx for my laptop 701. :D Its hard to go from mac to windows, so im going back again just with better hardware :P

So my question is, I am aware that intel 1000 is not supported, and im not waiting on that. So is there a better option then 1510 internal to go with. I am getting it from a dell site so is there a better, faster supported card available? I am going to go to lion so compatibility would be good too :D

 

And for the last part, i got 4 different 1510 on dell site with different part numbers. Which internal card do i need to go with that you guy are using.

http://search.dell.com/results.aspx?s=gen&...amp;x=0&y=0

 

EDIT: Would I be able to install lion beta right of the bat right now?

Hello and congratulations to all the good people working on this project!

 

I have an L501x Core i7 740QM with GeForce 435 (2GB RAM) 1920x1080 display 15.6''

USB 3.0 & all the works ...

 

all in all minor differences between the two models ...

 

I have installed Snow leopard with 10.6.7 update by using the nawcom modCD + USB 10.6.3 retail + tonymac [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]!

 

the problems that i met are:

 

1) after "going" to sleep when i restart, the trackpad freezes!

2) The USB 3.0 ports work very weird, iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone and from time to time when i disconnect the device, it panics related to the pxhcd kext!

3) this is not a problem really but a nuisance as i cannot change the bootlogo to the more glossy one!

 

thanks in advance!

Hey guys, quick question. With this installation method, can I still use time machine to back everything up, and just in case things go bad with an update install, restore it using the MOD CD, following by mac OSX DVD boot and choosing to restore from time machine in utilities option

 

Also as i mentioned before, can i dual boot osx and win using MOD cd?

Could someone please write an updated guide with all the kests for 10.6.7. There is so much info spread that I am confused on what to do and install. Greatly appriciated. I tried for a few days now and it always screws up and fails at some point..

 

Edit: Even after trying to collect all the files and doing it from there I can only get my system to boot with cd and it goes through a long lost of reading hfs+files as reg boot I get grey screen telling me to shut down.
