Hello!!

 

Ive used the Leo4All v3 image. Works great. Nvinstaller v.52 for video, great too.

Used DellPackage_0.34g after installing, for the battery icon ando for the Sigmatel STAC 9228 Driver

 

The sound (Inspiron 1420, you know, it has 2 outputs, and 1 input), works only in the first jack output, and only with earphones. The internal speakers don't work, and the mic input isn't recognized.

Also (always, not after installing that package), when turning off or rebooting, screens goes black, so i have to turn it off manually, pressing the button for a while, then turn it on again.

Any ideas, please?

 

Try STAC9228 from taruga.net (I think the web is down, but you can find the drivers on this forum). They make everything work (2 outputs, input, internal speakers). Sometimes my laptop does not shotdown automatically, but sometimes it works. To solve this, i've made a script that runs at startup:

 

	echo "Starting HDA"
mv /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.taruga/Contents /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext
kextload -t /System/Library/Extensions/HDAEnabler.kext
kextload -t /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleHDAController.kext
kextload -t /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext
kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions
mv /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext/Contents /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.taruga

 

This works for me.

Dell Embedded WWAN Card for Sprint/Nextel (Novatel 5720) now working fully!

 

Just took a bit of fiddling to figure out where things need to go.

 

in the file

 

/System/Library/Extensions/IOSerialFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleWWANSupport.kext/Contents/Info.plist

 

you need to be updated to reflect the device id. replace the AppleWanDeviceNovatelUSB stanza with:

 

<key>AppleWANDeviceNovatelUSB</key>

<dict>

<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>

<string>com.apple.driver.AppleWWANSupport</string>

<key>IOClass</key>

<string>AppleWWANSupport</string>

<key>IOProbeScore</key>

<integer>10000</integer>

<key>IOProviderClass</key>

<string>IOUSBDevice</string>

<key>idProduct</key>

<integer>33076</integer>

<key>idVendor</key>

<integer>16700</integer>

</dict>

and also, in the file:

 

/System/Library/Extensions/IOSerialFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleWWANSupport1.kext/Contents/Info.plist

 

update the idProduct and idVendor values as above in both the AppleVerizonInterface0NovatelUSB and AppleVerizonInterface1NovatelUSB stanzas. It may just be easier to search/replace all '8464' with '33076' and all '5130' with '16700' in both files. (I did that, and it worked fine)

 

now do:

 

touch /System/Library/Extensions

 

and bring up the System Prefs -> Networking dialog. Hit the + button, and it should say its installing a new device, Novatel Wireless CDMA. Create the Novatel Wireless CDMA connection type and select it.

 

Hit Advanced below login/password, select the WWAN tab, and change Vendor to Novatel, and Model to CDMA. Hit Okay. Now hit Apply. (Explicitly Applying before trying to connect is critical) Then Connect, and watch it go.

 

This message was posted over my embedded card via the sprint network. Speedtest with this configuration shows 600kbps down / 350kbps up.

 

This should probably work for other dell embedded WWAN devices as well, just change your device/vendor id to suit. Also note that it creates the device /dev/cu.wwan, which you can talk to directly with AT commands.

 

 

Out of curiosity, have you had any luck with getting your card to show up in the menu bar? I see what looks like it should be my card's icon, but it says "The Card was not detected" when you click on it. Other than that it works, it's just a minor inconvenience.

Hi,

I've been playing with 10.4.11 for a while but decided to return to 10.5.2. I was able to get everything working except the keyboard and trackpad. When booting with the -v flag after install, i was able to see it detect the trackpad. When the computer booted everything worked great. On boots after this, i was not able to see anything with the trackpad driver in -v on the boot. Also, FCS2 and iMovie crash soon after starting. I cannot even see a GUI.

Thanks

Is there anyone who has sleep working on a m1330 on 10.5.5 with the boot132 method install? Is there anything else other than getting EHCISleepEnabler.kext, editing IOUSBFamily/USBEHCI plist and getting clamshell.kext? I've EHCISleepEnabler to load correctly but when my laptop tries to sleep the power led light on the front of the laptop does not go from solid on to flashing on... and the computer never wakes from the bad sleep... anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Hello,

I have internal mic working with my vostro 1700 (stac 9205).

So, now, i have internal mic working, external mic working, internal speakers working and external speakers (headphone) working (switch automatically).

To have this working, I use this applehda: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...p;p=934963&

 

The only problem is that with the internal mic, the sound isn't really high, how can I increase the volume of my microphone? (I can't do it in the pref panel).

 

Thank you.

Nicolas

There is a patched EHCI kext from Superhai, it was used before EHCISleepEnabler. You can try that I guess.

Add/Modify Boost to 20 of your Amp-out node of your mic.

If you are using xbc's AppleHDA without modifying anything, try this: (it should increase volume of your internal and external mic)

 

XBC_AppleHDA_with_boost.kext.zip (this is for Sigmatel 9205)

Thank you, it's a bit better, but it isn't enough, is it possible to increase more the volume of my mic?

How can I do that?

 

Thank you for your help.

Battery life is around 3 hours in Windows, 2.5-3 in OS X with 6 cell.

FW seems to work, but I don't have any FW devices to confirm.

Sound works without using sleep every time for M1530. Pretty much everything works except internal mic.

Speedstep works with Superhai's GenericCPUPM. It doesn't heat up at all.

Wow, this thread is almost DEAD.

 

Anyways, if I get some free time (which I doubt I will..., if I did it would be next month), I may attempt to build an OS X DVD for just recent dell models.... If I don't spring for a new MBP.

I want to thank Macgirl and all the folks who put these installers together for this amazing resource. I just got my Dell XPS M1330 4 days ago, and have spent a grueling 4+hrs/day trying to get a Leopard/Vista x64 dual boot system operational.

 

Stats:

Dell XPS M1330

13.3" WLED backlit LCD

T7500 2.2Ghz Core 2 Duo

3 Gb RAM, 160Gb 7200rpm HDD

128 MB Geforce 8400GS

Intel Wireless N, Bluetooth 2.0

 

I learned about the Hackintosh projects from an article in Lifehacker and decided to give it a try when I got my laptop. Following the instructions of those above me, I obtained a copy of iAtkos1.0 r2 and started with a fresh install. Loading the installer disc, I went ahead and formatted the HDD creating 2 partitions. I installed Leopard on a 25Gb partition with the MBR, and left the rest in FAT32.

 

After a couple of problems with the dreaded blinking cursor (gParted showed the Leopard partition flagged w/ Boot), I popped in a Vista CD and Leopard seemed to load ok from that point on. Strangely enough the Vista CD was corrupted, so not sure how that worked.

 

A couple pointers that other users might run into:

==Installing Punk's Nvidia installer seemed to work (after going into Terminal and removing NVDAResman.kext), but I was stuck w/ 1024x768 resolution, and the proper driver didn't seem to load. JCarcinogen's seemed to work better for me, with the 8400GS coming up in the System Profiler.

 

==I feel like I'm kinda stuck right now w/ my unsupported Intel Wireless N Card. Looking forward to seeing progress in those respective threads.

 

This was my first time working with the MacOS to this level, and I'm glad that these resources were around!

 

Thanks again!

I have the same problem.

 

And the other problem: I Installed the iAtkos v4i. It works, but only boot, if the DVD is inserted. How can I modify it, to boot without DVD.

Just out of curiosity, what did you do to get sleep/sound working? I tried both Sonotone's installer, wingurnr21's thread, and this thread and have never gotten sound or sleep working on my XPS M1530. I've tried iAtkos 2 and 4 as well as kalyway and iDeneb all without sucess and thus I'm still using Vista until I can get those two issues sorted out.

This enables HDMI and VGA out.

 

where i have to insert this Hex Code? I didnt find a place ... I think is a stupid question :) I read this thread Link but my english isnt good enough to understand what i have to do. I use "insanelymac Nvidia Installer 3.0 Beta Version by Punk92" to install the grapic card

 

 

^ Desiderio's AppleHDA.kext + ALCInject.kext =

 

4772.png(Sigmatel 9228 on XPS M1330)

 

"Internal Speakers" = Speakers + Sound through first headphone jack simultaneously

 

"Headphones" = Sound through second headphone jack only

 

"Internal Microphone" = Microphone jack only

 

Sound works without having to use the reboot/sleep method. (You must not have HDAEnabler.kext or any Apple Azalia audio kexts installed for this to work.)

 

I have insert the two kexts from this Thread with "Kext Helper b7". Sound already worked but i havnt the options from the picture. I have sound on the internal speaker and on the left jack simultaneyously. Is there a second step i didnt know?

 

 

sry for bad english

I am looking to get a new XPS M1530 with the following specs and wanted to find out how hard it would be to triple boot Vista, OSX, and Linux.  It seems to vary greatly based on specific parts and setup for each laptop so it's hard for me to look through this 200+ page thread to see how possible it is.  Also, if triple booting is a royal PITA I'm fine with dual booting Vista and OSX, I was just throwing Linux in there if it is easy to do at the same time.  I'm not necissarily looking for a step by step as that is what this thread is full of, I just wanted to see if you guys see any possible problems I may run into with this setup.  Thanks for the help!

 

 

 

Dell XPS M1530

 

2.5 GHz Intel T9300, 15.4" WUXGA (1920x1200) display, 4GB Ram, 320GB 7200rpm hard drive, Intel 4965 a/b/g/n card (will be replaced with Dell 1505 from ebay), Bluetooth 355 card, NVidia 8600M GT w/ 256MB, Sound Blaster Audigy, finger print reader

 

 

 

Is there anything listed that will not work or that I should avoid?  I haven't ordered yet so any advice would be much appreciated!

Hi Sullitf,

 

I just wanted to let you know that i have an Xps 1530 and i'm triple booting Vista, OpenSuse and Leopard 10.5.5.

 

I use chameleon as boot loader for the 3 and it works very well.

 

Regarding your hardware configuration, i've noticed that you have a sound blaster audigy as audio card... How is it possible?! I was thinking that Dell only sold Sigmatel chipset with its lappies.

For the rest, i have approximatively the same configuration as you and i'm very happy of my hackintosh so... you could probably be too.

Just have a look on the forum and search if others have the same audio card on lappies, as it could started to be a PITA to make your audio working, that's my opinion.

 

Regards,

I tried the audio kext from Chysaor on my m1330 to try to get the audio working. When I copied the kexts to the extensions folder it said.

 

the system extension "/System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext/Contents/plugins/IOHDAFamily.kext was installed improperly and cannot be used.

 

also says the same for AppleHDAController.kext

 

it also mentioned one more, but I accidently hit "ok" too quick. Anyone know what I can do to fix this?

 

Thanks for all your help

Run a permissions repair.

Copy the AppleHDA.kext to /System/Library/Extensions/

 

run the following as root:

 

chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext

chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext

touch /System/Library/Extensions

 

Then repair permissions

 

or just use Kext Helper to install the kext. (Google for the app)

Sullitf: I too have a M1530 triplebooting Vista/OS X/Fedora with almost the exact config as yours. I would suggest that you not replace the 4965 and just plug in the 1505 in the WWAN slot. I have done that. Just disable one of the cards in any os which sees both. Everything else should be fine with a grain of salt. For detailed instructions see macgirl's thread

Since i have a perfectly working Hackintosh on my desktop i tought i would retry my m1530.

 

Is it possible to have working shutdown/restart with this machine? just hitting the powerbutton is a killer for your hard drive.

If the sound driver is the problem, then i don't care about sound, i have logitech v10 USB speakers with built in sound card.
