Hi,

I would like to ask if anyone of you have solved the problem with booting up with chimera or chameleon. I have tried installing both but none of it allows me to boot up without using my USB drive. I came from a fresh install of Mavericks and added ran multi beast with fakeSMC, IntelEthernet100E, PS2KeyboardMice, USB3.0 and chimera. Also ran it with the ACPIPlatform 10.8.1 Rollback. Is there any steps that I have missed? Thank you.

It doesn't sound like you installed a bootloader.

See here for a good way to start with multibeast: http://www.tonymacx86.com/mavericks...nagement-sandy-bridge-ivy-bridge-laptops.html

Hi,

I have followed the steps given in the link below. Currently, using a SSDT generated by others for my processor, i7-2620M. I am currently experiencing 2 situations. When I put the ssdt.aml in the Extra folder with the org.chameleon.Boot.plist containing only DropSSDT=Yes, the track point doesn't work, and the trackpad is correctly being recognised as a trackpad. However, when I take away both files, my trackpad and track point both works but is recognised as a mouse.

And for both situations, the boot loader doesn't work. The situation is similar to that written in the 1st post, where the boot loader will not initiate and instead the bios will boot up the Ethernet. Unless I put the OSX USB in, I have no other way to get into chimera/chameleon. I have ran the installation multiple times, but its still not working. Any idea what exactly is happening? Thank you.

I have the same problem with battery on 10.8.5
(Lenovo x220 - Core i7).

I finally installed 10.8.5 and Win7 on GPT with dual boot in UEFI.

Worry about your trackpad issue later (probably it is caused by having multiple, incompatible ps2 drivers loading). Likely that problem will be solved by fixing your problem booting from the HDD.

Have you installed Chimera to your HDD? If you have, what is the error?
 
Hi RehabMan, do you have dsdt for thinkpad e330?

I'm running Mavericks on my X220t.

These two threads were most helpful:

As I understand, you can't boot a GPT partition on the X220(t). You have to use a patched installer to install to an MBR partition.

I have wifi working using a Dell 1510 card I got from ebay. IMPORTANT: If you swap out your wifi card, your X220(t) will not boot due to a BIOS WLAN card whitelist. You will have to flash your BIOS with a hacked version first. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. PROCEED WITH CAUTION. You'll need a windows partition to boot from in order to flash the bios. The BIOS update boot CD from Lenovo can not be edited to install the hacked BIOS through any means I could find.

I am using VoodooPSController.kext for the trackpad/trackpoint. It doesn't work well. See this issue: https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Voodoo-PS2-Controller/issues/3


Basically what happens is that if you want to drag something you have to try several times to get it. The mouse also clicks sometimes while moving the cursor with the nipple. It looks like the developer isn't going to work on this issue... so someone else will need to attempt to patch VoodooPS2Controller.

Battery monitor isn't working yet.. probably need some additional kexts. Sleep works after editing DSDT.

Brightness control works using Scrlk and Pause keys.

Audio partially works using VoodooHDA.kext. Sometimes it works at boot sometimes it doesn't. I lose sound after sleep and have to manually reload VoodooHDA.kext.. There's some discussion in the links above about possible solutions. The "best" solution being a patched AppleHDA with Conexant audio support, although the version I found doesn't work with Mavericks it appears. Automatic headphone detection doesn't seem to work either.. you have to manually switch to headphones or speakers using Sound prefs.

Bluetooth works.

Haven't tried the wacom pen or the touchscreen yet, but reports I've read say they don't work.

:beachball:

EDIT: Also have not yet tested: VGA, DisplayPort, ExpressCard slot, or UltraDock.

EDIT: Using ApplePS2Controller and AppleACIPS2Nub from here got my TrackPoint working without the dragging issue linked to above: http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=105334

I think this is based on an older version of VoodooPS2..

I also now have sound from the internal speakers using the DSDT and kext on this Chinese forum:
http://bbs.pcbeta.co...311325-1-1.html

I translated the site with Chrome in order to register for download, after which you have to perform the forums tasks to earn download credits (see "Tasks(4)" at top of your screen after you login). I did the task to add all your profile info.

The X220t supposedly has a CX20672 but codec dumps show CX20590. :/

I still do lose sound from the internal speakers after sleep. This is probably due to general sleep issues and not AppleHDA... when I wake from sleep, the X220's moon led is still lit, and sometimes the power button led continues to pulse.

EDIT: Battery status is working with these: http://www.osx86.net/files/file/1204-smart-battery-no-need-dsdt/

Hi,

Thanks to all, I currently have a x220 that is working for most part of the computer, the track point, trackpad, boots directly, battery monitor. However, the brightness control for the monitor isn't working. Is there any kext that I am supposed to apply, or is there any DSDT that i have to write/create. Thank you.

See: https://github.com/RehabMan/Laptop-DSDT-Patch, "Brightness Fix" patch.
 
Thank you for your replies, currently, I get most of the stuffs working except the VGA port, bluetooth seems to go off after the system goes to sleep and when the lid comes down, the computer goes to sleep intermittently. Is there anyway to make the VGA Port work? Thank you.

Regards.

What graphics chip are you using (your profile or signature does not reflect a laptop)?
