Dell XPS 12 (9Q33) OS X Mavericks Instillation

[RehabMan]

so i can take all "Apple*Intel*" from another 10.9.1 installation and replace?

Just the graphics kexts (so not AppleIntelPower*, AppleIntelE1000, AppleIntelLpss, etc.)

Also, maybe IOGraphicsFamily.kext.

You'll have to experiment...

putting only AppleIntelHD* and AppleIntelFrame* give me a kernel panic

got roll back to 10.9.5 kext..

ok when i get glitch, login and logout seems to remove the artifact

very very strange... currently i'm using ig-platform-id 0xa260006

...

Yes, that is one of the solutions listed in post #233...

 

[stich86]

yes every time you need to do this.. there should be a solution may be..
i don't think Dell using a different graphic inside this processor..

Maybe.

How far along are you with post install? Brightness implemented? Power management implemented?

No, but BIOS configures the chip differently than a real Mac.

 

[stich86]

currently i'm just stick with vanilla installation

need to patch DSDT to make all other thing works..
also i hope to get Power management work, waiting for the replacemente wireless card..

which patch i've to implement for this notebook?


EDIT: put sRGB IEC profile now seems to solve artifact with Kext from 10.9.5

Which patch for what, specifically?

patch to make:

brightness control work (currently not)
battery percentage (still missing)
cpu power management (currently it seems to stuck at full turbo)

Haswell Brightness Fix:

You will need to extract all DSDT/SSDT from Linux. Your GFX0 device is in one of the SSDTs not DSDT and to get a proper disassembly of your DSDT (and the SSDT that has GFX0) you will need all of them. They are available in /sys/firmware/acpi/tables and /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/dynamic.

Place all SSDT/DSDT in a single directory and use a recent build of iasl to disassemble:
http://www.tonymacx86.com/attachmen...ell-inspiron-17-7000-hackintosh-able-iasl.zip

cd "to directory where you placed all SSDT/DSDT"
iasl -da *.aml

Then search the resulting *.dsl so you know where GFX0 is defined.

Laptop repo: https://github.com/RehabMan/Laptop-DSDT-Patch
Apply: "Rename GFX0 to IGPU" (to both DSDT and the SSDT that has your GFX0 device)
Apply: "Brightness Fix (Haswell)" to SSDT with GFX0
install: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-ACPI-Backlight

Place patched DSDT.aml in /Extra/dsdt.aml. Place patched SSDT in /Extra/ssdt-1.aml (assuming you have already generated SSDT.aml for CPU)

Result: Working brightness slider in SysPrefs->Displays (mapping of keyboard keys is a separate issue), possible LID sleep, and IGPU power management.
