Thank the guy who posted those kexts, not me :D
 
Thanks! I will test it. Now my next problems are the GeForce 610m and try to enable the multitouch on the Elan Smart Pad...
Thanks for your help! (And to the guy who created the kexts)
 
You shouldn't have any problems with the 610m, but I don't think the multitouch on the ElanTech touchpads works in OSX (I have the same one).
 
If u have Optimus on your laptop, i believe the NVidia card never gets activated. I never had Optimus so I don't know anything about it, you should check for more info around these forums.
 
Hello.

I have a very similar laptop (Asus K55VM, the only difference is an NVidia GeForce 630M GPU).

After installing Mountain Lion, I get stuck at the following screen (attached).

If I boot in Safe Mode, I can get it working, minus USB and trackpad.

Tried booting with GraphicsEnabler=No, but it doesn't make any difference.

Thanks for the help.

It seems to be related to AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement. Boot in safe mode, type also "USBBusFix=Yes" (without quotation mark, case sensitive),plug in a usb external mouse and install NullCpuPowerManagement.kext from Multibeast or however you can
 
I highly doubt it is related to NullCpuPowerManagement.kext or AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext, as I am booting with the UniBeast USB, and it is present in /E/E.

Thanks for the reply
 
nothing to do, I've got an error,
here is the log of installation. :(
