Guys, in case you haven't noticed, there is a new beta installer here, which supports 10.8.3 for both 4x30s and 4x40s models.
Since I made the update to 10.8.3 I'm having graphic glitches, especially when playing flash vids or net streams. Are some of you experiencing the same? Some ideas what I could do about?
Thanks.
Is it possible for someone to post the audio and battery kexts needed to get them to work in 10.8.3? I can't seem to get kextwizard to download anything and for some reason I don't have a back up.
Thanks!
I've already taken a stand but once again I would like to express that even if not perfect GenericUSBXHCI is way better than PXHCD.
I have not encountered any serious problems with GenericUSBXHCI but based on what 'appleiscool' described I think PXHCD is causing same problems + many more.
Maybe nguynemac will summarize his experience with both kexts, as I recall he's using USB3.
my experience with GenericUSBXHCI vs either PXHCD or the CalDigit kext is simple:
my probook doesn't have USB3, so i bought a "mac compatible" USB3 expresscard. there was no problem with the expresscard being recognized by OS X when i inserted it. with either PXHCD or CalDigit, System Information-->USB showed the expresscard's port as SuperSpeed, but with a speed of 480 mb/sec. testing confirmed that in fact it was operating at usb2 speed.
however, with the GenericUSBXHCI kext, the expresscard's port is recognized as SuperSpeed, with a speed of "up to 5GB/sec". and, testing supports that info.
also, i have a desktop hack with a pci-e usb3 card (NEC chip) that never worked properly with the older kexts, but does work fine with GenericUSBXHCI.
so, my strong vote is for GenericUSBXHCI in the installer.
