I have a x60 Tablet with Snow Leopard, but I was not able to get the trackpoint working either. It worked on Leopard with the ApplePS2Controller.kext fix. However, both the VoodooPS2Controller and the ACPIPS2Nub+ApplePS2Controller result in the same result: the keyboard works but the trackpoint doesn't.

 

Get rid of Contents/PlugIns/whateverwhateverPS2Trackpad.kext.

Thank you, now I have working on 64-bit:

Keyboard (from here http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=175372)

Trackpoint (from this link too + you need to remove trackpad plugin from kext)

Sound

Restart and Shutdown by OpenHaltRestart

NTFS r/w support

 

Not working:

Video card

SD Card reader

Tablet (in x32 works perfect, in x64 TabletMagic write "No Tablet Found")

I'm having a lot of trouble implementing Brightness on an X61s Leopard install. I've read through all the pertinent threads several times, but I'm just as confused.

 

Following the steps posted at the top by outZider, it looks like an either or solution. That is, use method 1 or use method 2. But, reading through the threads, it looks like people used method 1 part of method 2 (patched their dsdt also). And it would seem other succeeded by by using method 1 and then simply replaced their dsdt with the one contained in backlight_stuff.zip.

 

While I'm sure the answer is contained in these threads, I'm having difficulty replicating the exact steps. Would someone kindly, in a linear, step-by-step fashion write out the exact step they used for their sucessful install?

 

Edit:

Okay. Got it working

 

It seems that you really MUST do both steps 1 and 2. It's not an either or, it's a do BOTH.

 

Now that I have the brightness slider, how do I go about mapping it the function keys. I poked around the Keyboard prefs, but didn't see anything obvious.

there's nothing to do here dude : brightness is mapped to f14 and f15 keys, that's scroll lock and pause on your x61s.

Thanks.

 

I read this:

"Reboot, and you'll be able to set your brightness in System Preferences, or by reassigning your F-keys."

 

and was fruitlessly searching for a way to reassign F keys. Your suggestion was much easier.

you're welcome.

However, i reasigned F14 and F15 to printscreen and scroll lock (F13 and F14) because F15 (pause) key won't automaticly repeat and it was a pain in the a** to increase brightness...

I'm new to this, and I'm trying to install SL on my X61t. I followed the OP's directions exactly, but I'm not sure how to "add the -x32 flag". I edited the file with pico and added "-x32" in between <string><string>. Is this appropriate?

 

I keep having a kernel panic after the boot process tries to load both AppleIntelGMAX1300.kext and AppleIntelGMAX1300FB. The message says "Kext has immediate dependencies on both com.apple.kernel and com.apple.kpi components; use only one style" After that, there is a quick message about the backlight and the kp happens.

 

I'm not quite sure how to get around this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

it didn't at first cause i didn't repair permissions after the kext edit. you may want to say it explicitly on the first post

Hey all,

 

I used this guide, and did manage to get my x61 lenovo running snow leopard. I had troubles with AppleUSBUHCI and AppleIntelPIIXPATA, but I found patches for that and finally got it running.

 

I have an issue with my microphone. (I does not work.) I am usung the kext provided by 'grandflash' as listed above.

 

Has anyone else had issues? How did you resolve it.

Thank you grandflash.

 

Sorry about this....

 

Is that applehda different than the one posted at the top?

What is 'legacy'?

And, lastly, is that efi string different than the one posted?

 

I appreciate your help.

with this zip file you will find two kext and a plist file. copy the com.apple.boot.plist only if you to /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration. maybe you had already applied the EFI Strings to your com.apple.boot.plist? You didnt told me. then rename AppleHDA10.5.3.kext to AppleHDA.kext and install it with the LegacyAD1984.kext with a tool like kext helper (google kext helper mac). restart, boot with kernel flag -f

 

hope this will help

 

about VANILLA SPEDSTEP:

 

with ubuntu i made ssdt tables for my X61 Tablet, i copied them in the root dir, together with the dsdt.aml

 

In the Extra Folder i moved the smbios.plist (now as MacBookAir) in Extra/Extensions i moved the Legacy_ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kext. Then i reinstalled appleintelcpupowermanagement.kext and hpet.kext.

i deleted voodoopower.kext and sleepenabler.kext, flushed kext cache.

 

i installed chameleon rc3 and then i had vanilla spedstep. i dont think it worked that good, with voodoopower i had better battery results. sleep worked, kextstat told me that appleintelcpu...kext is loaded. some people patch the dsdt.aml with a better cpu scope so they dont need the ssdt files anymore.

 

try it out, if you want.

My X61 Tablet is working remarkably under SL.

 

My tablet is not working. I have: 1) installed TablerEnabler, 2) made the change to the necessary file and 3) installed TabletMagic. My system recognizes the tablet. I see serial0. However, the tablet does not work. Any suggestions?

Weird thing I noticed here. I have a WACF004 device. 90% of the time, in snow leopard, it comes up as WACF008. Why? I have no idea. But TabletMagic will then try to connect at 38400, fail, and then you get no tablet. I've patched my copy of TabletMagic, and would be happy to pass it along. Check your ioreg to see if it's coming up as the opposite device of what you expect.

outZider, Long time, you help me get everything going on 10.5.6. I have WACF008. Let me try and change the baud rate. Also, I am removing fakesmc and replacing it with dsmos as you suggested in a previous thread.

 

As always, thanks for the help.

 

Tom

OutZider, Some additional facts: If I remove the WACF004 line in my serial kext, the serial0 ports is NOT recognized. Once I replace it, it is recognized again. TabletMagic changes my baud from 38400to 19200 when it finds the Tablet.
