Hi. I have been trying to get mavericks working on my laptop for a while, but I can only install the system by patching the kernel (as RehabMan said) and when I manage to install it, it has really weird graphic bugs (like distorted colors on the upper menu bar), the mouse works really slow at the startup and I can't get the touchpad working by using the driver provided in MultiBeast. Can someone help me?

P.D.: Sorry for my bad english.

Which bootloader are you using? What is the manufacturer of your trackpad?

Please provide complete details in your profile/signature
(Profile/Settings link in upper right corner of this site)

System: manufacturer/model
CPU: detailed CPU model + motherboard chipset
Graphics: all graphics devices + laptop internal screen resolution

For example, typical Ivy laptop:
System: HP ProBook 4540s
CPU: i5-3320m/HM76
Graphics: HD4000, 1366x768

Use CPU-Z on Windows to find CPU (Core iX-xxx) and motherboard chipset (HMxx). For a laptop, these details are important and affect critical installation procedures.
 
I have updated my signature. I haven't been able to locate the chipset. In CPU-Z, it only appears as Intel Haswell Rev. 06. I have a synaptics touchpad.

P.D.: Using RehabMan patch with unibeast 4.0, I can't even get to the installer.

You will need to remove the nvidia kexts (NVDA*, Geforce*).
 
I tried. But even removing these kexts, I am not able to reach the installer (the screen turns white and then it reboots). Same results keeping the Nvidia kexts and with/without the patched kernel.
 
Ok. By patching the kernel, I've managed to install the OS. But now, I have plenty of bugs. The most annoying are strange glitches in the login screen and in the upper bar (in the left upper corner), and the laggy mouse also during the login screen. What can I do to solve this bugs?

PD: Is there a kext for Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160?

No.

Compatible chipsets and the procedures for making them work are covered here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/network/104850-guide-airport-pcie-half-mini-v2.html
 
Thanks a lot for all your help, but I think I'll keep using linux in my laptop. Sorry for being so inconstant :oops:.

PD: I'll notice you if I find something new. For example, I think the graphical bugs post-login screen were caused due a wrong color profile assigned by the os. Changing the color profile, this bug was solved.

Yes, that is one of the common solutions to that problem...
