ps adding built in lan to dsdt lets me run any build of chameleon and have a working facetime.....efi string in boot.plist or ethernetbuiltin in chameleon will only let facetime work with 755
I hope Tonymacx86 read this post and contact the developers of Chimera to look at the 755 sources to see what changed and reapply it to the last build of Chimera.
Using the Chameleon 755 bootloader gives me some freezes related to the GTS 450 (the infamous Fermi Freeze). With Chimera, the system is more stable.
Cheers!
Over on insanely mac everyone is reporting that once you have got FaceTime activated with 755 you can then revert back to you preferred boot loader version. That is of course as long as you don't log out of face time or switch face to off. If you do you will need to revert back to 755 to bypass the error.
Many are also reporting success with a ethernet added to DSTD does anyone know of a good guide for doing this?
Thanks, but I was aware of that. I'm currently using the latest build of Chameleon and have Facetime working. But that's not a proper solution. Facetime should work with any version of the bootloader.
Regarding the DSDT I succesfully added using this:
Code:
Device (LAN0)
{
Name (_ADR, Zero)
Name (_PRW, Package (0x02)
{
0x09,
0x03
})
Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
{
Store (Package (0x06)
{
"built-in",
Buffer (One)
{
0x01
},
"device_type",
Buffer (0x09)
{
"ethernet"
},
"name",
Buffer (0x2B)
{
"Realtek RTL8139/810x Fast Ethernet Adapter"
}
}, Local0)
DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))
Return (Local0)
}
}
This code should be placed on the correct device inside PCI0. In my case I inserted in "Device (BR1E)". You'll have to look on IOreg for the correct location.
However, I still can't use Facetime properly. Now on IOreg my network card is seen as Built-In (it was, however, en0 all the time) and the system calculates correctly the UUID without injection (the known cause of FT not working).
Nevertheless, is there another location to check if my card is recognized as Built-in???
I still hope for some news from the developers.
Cheers!
