10.9.1 Installed on Dell 7520R SE

[orvanon]

System Specs:
[FONT=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Intel Core i7-3612QM 2.2GHz[/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]16GB DDR3 1600MHz[/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]HD4000 (Shows with 1024MB)
ATI 7730M 2GB[/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Main HD: Samsung 840Pro 128GB[/FONT]
[FONT=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]2nd HD: 1TB WD 5400 rpm[/FONT]

[FONT=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I have a lot of stuff running smoothly and i have the system up and working for the past month or so
but i still can't get some features to work and they are:

1. ATI 7730M 2GB - show in system information but can't really get it to work :/
2. Sleep doesn't work
3. Multi Gesture support for Trackpad
4. PowerConsumption is about 90min on battery and I'm looking to find a way to make it better

If any one can help get some of these stuff to work i will be more then happy to even pay him,
the main focus is the 7730M and i wouldn't mind even Disableing the HD4000 to get the
7730 to run all the time since I'm usually connected to a power source.

Thanks for all the help! [/FONT]

1.AFAIK OSX doesn't support Switchable cards. Your card will work only if you can set in the bios the discrete card as primary. But usually laptops haven't this possibility.
2. Wait someone else. I can't help you with this.
3. If you watch the hardware id of your touchpad you'll discover the manufacturer (Synaptics or Elantech), then you can find the appropriate kext. If you have synaptics one you can use Rehabman Kext(https://github.com/RehabMan/OS-X-Voodoo-PS2-Controller).
4. Did you set PowerManagement correctly? See here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/mavericks...nagement-sandy-bridge-ivy-bridge-laptops.html

If power management is not correctly installed then sleep will not work.

It won't work. Switched graphics are not supported. Best you can do is disable it in DSDT/SSDT if you can't disable it in BIOS (or want it for Windows).

2. Sleep doesn't work

Make sure you implemented power management correctly. See: http://www.tonymacx86.com/mavericks...nagement-sandy-bridge-ivy-bridge-laptops.html

3. Multi Gesture support for Trackpad

What trackpad is in your laptop. Also no hack trackpad drivers support real gestures like a Mac. It is all simulation/hacks.

4. PowerConsumption is about 90min on battery and I'm looking to find a way to make it better

See above about power management and disabling Radeon from DSDT...

Hi!

I see that you've got a 7520 like me. I've got mine running on 10.8 at the moment, but I'd like to upgrade to 10.9 - have you got a tutorial link on how you managed to get 10.9 running? I haven't had much luck so far.

Unless you can have multiple HDDs in your laptop (it sounds like maybe you do), you will not be able to install without erasing Windows. On a single HDD, you can dual boot, but Windows must be reinstalled. With multiple HDDs, you can dedicate one device to each system.

Dual boot guide: http://www.tonymacx86.com/multi-booting/96000-guide-dual-booting-mountain-lion-windows-8-a.html

As far as Unibeast USB hanging trying to reach the installer...

Please provide complete details in your profile.

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.
