itdoesnotwork Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I came across the new DSDT.aml by Chrysaor yesterday. I installed new Chameleon 2 RC1, Netkas Boot file and the DSDT.aml and removed NVinject and Clamshell. It works, but I still have to sleep the display and get around 800 pts 1440x800. And yes, I do have 8600m GT with normal performence running Vista. I really don't know what I could try, maybe I'll try a retail install in two weeks or so. By the way: How do I get GUI for Chameleon to work? Themes are in /Extra/Themes, but it still boots in text-mode. I tried an Automator-script I found somewhere on insanelymac but still no sucess. Is it possible that new Chameleon is not installed properly? I think I saw a 1.x Version number at boot. (I just ran the RC1 installer to install) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be warned that your apple boot screen will change with Chameleon 2. wingrunr21: I don't think this site is dying. Its just that almost everything seems to work now and so no one bothers to post. Wait till Snow Leopard is released and you will see life again.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your problem isn't with injectors, injectors only help to enable the video card and basic features. Make sure you have the latest drivers, DON'T mix and match drivers with different versions. If you are not sure, install the latest combo update. Make sure that your CPU is stepping correctly and isn't stuck on the lowest multiplier.

(I just ran the RC1 installer to install) You bootloader gui is not working because you used netkas boot file chameleon 2.0 is newer than PCEFIv9 so reinstall with out the netkas file and for your graphics something else has to be loaded I wrote the DSDT and chrysaor edited the your using and it works fine I get full graphics performance it matches my MacBookPro which this laptop is basically a clone of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait till Snow Leopard is released and you will see life again.... I was not referring to the low post counts. I am referring to the loss of the site staff and the other various issues that have cropped up on here within the past few months. I am still going to transfer the tutorial off the site just in case. I will by no means delete it. We'll see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itdoesnotwork Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Great thanks to both of you. I just figured out that I don't have to install Netkas' files, anyways thank you! Concerning the graphics: I installed 10.5.6 Combo Update and it's working fine now. Thank you, this was a simple solution One thing I notice now is that my CPU temperatures higher. Is throtteling working for the graphics card (CPU and GPU are on the same heatpipe) or is it something else? I use vodoopowermini by superhai.

I haven't found a way to accurately measure this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itdoesnotwork Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Well there is more than 1 way to get it working. The 2 most famous: 1. Use Superhai's Vodoopower.kext, then install Superhai's GenericCPUPowermanagement, both to be found on superhai.com . As far as I know it does not work with Vodoopowermini, so make sure you use the "big" version. 2. There is an app called "Temperaturemonitor" to be found on the internet. When installing it, it automatically installs a plug-in and shows CPU and HD temps. (for HD you can also use iStatmenus). The app does not work with all SMBIOS enablers: from my experience SMBIOSResolver works while AppleSMBIOSEFI does not. If you still can't get correct temps, there is a small commandline tool on the net. I have to look for it but if you need it, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teebeck Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 How can I get Photobooth to work? I keep getting this error: The graphics card installed in this computer does not support Photo Booth. I've tried NVinstaller but it didn't help. Also, my computer's resolution is not adjustable to its full capability.

ManiacBS Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Hey there! I finally got my Dell Vosto 1400 running MacOS X and I'm near to the perfect installation, I think. I used iPC 10.5.6, changed my 3945ABG-wifi to a Dell TrueMobile 1395 and now everything works... Except Shutdown/Restart/Sleep after I installed NVDarwin drivers for my NVidia 8400M GS and the Sigmatel 9228. The Sound worked just after the installation, but when I rebooted, it was gone. Are there any new options to get these last two problems solved? Thanks for your help!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skeezen1 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I have a m1530 with the GeForce 8600M GT 256MB video card. I am attempting to get the VGA out to work with an external display. Everytime I boot with the VGA attached or plug it in and select 'Detect Display' my laptop display goes black and I have(?) to reboot. I am running iDeneb 1.4 (10.5.6) and chose the nvinject component on start up. Can anyone provide any assistance? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skeezen1 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...st&p=930144 Thanks you Talisman! I did a fresh install (including NVInject), used OSx86Tools to enable QE and then applied the kext from your post. Rebooted and now I can do dual display. Again, thanks! A few more questions/items: - When I disconnect the VGA it doesn't appear that the OS recognizes I removed the display. I have the external monitor showing the menu bar, so I'm left with an empty screen on my laptop display. Is there a way for it to autodetect, or a script I can run before/after to re-detect the displays? - Is there a fix to enable the memory card reader? Not a huge deal, but if that is working I'll have everything but restart/shutdown/sleep and ethernet. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greglagunabeaner Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I have an XPS m1330 with 1390 minicard Everything was working fine until I applied the most recent update today. Now my background got deleted and my wireless card cannot seem to be detected. I tried to reinstall the kext by reinstalling it through the dell 1.3 package. I repaired permissions and then restarted, still says it does not detect wireless card. Help would be appreciated. Btw everything else seems to work A ok nvm. I ran the broadcomm package from the combo update and everything is back to normal again, even somehow got my wallpaper back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
