Need Help With Dell N7110 (80% working)

Hello,

I'm currently writing from 10.8.2 (finally have a mostly working ML). I've installed the OS without a DSDT, as I was unable to find one for my laptop.


Here's what works (with or without extra kexts):

USB 2 (1 Port)
SDHC Card Reader (Out of the box)
Keyboard/Trackpad (VoodooPS2 kext)
Ethernet (Realtek kext)


Here's what works to an extent:

USB 3 (2 Ports) (using 1.0.11 of PXHCD, but it loads 100% CPU, and freezes programs sometimes)
Display (But not HD3000)


Laptop Specs:

Processor: 2.4 Ghz Intel i5 2430M
RAM: 6GB 1333 MHz
Motherboard: HM67
USB3: Resanas
Harddrive: 500GB
Graphics: Built In HD3000


My biggest concern is getting the USB 3 working properly, as I have a usb network adapter for internet because my WiFi is not compatible at all with Mac OS X (Intel Centrino 1030). I do also want the HD3000 working so I can have a better resolution than 1024x768 on a 17" screen.


Regards,
Jordan R.
 
Also, the launch pad freezes. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix these issues?
 
I realize that I should use a Dsdt for my install to fix these issues.

I have the DSDT now, and I have fixed the HD Graphics issue.

Now all I need is to:

Have pxhcd working where it doesn't load 100% cpu on kernel_task

OR

Have my usb 3 used as usb 2, therefore avoiding the use of pxhcd.


Hopefully someone can help!

Regards,
Jordan R.
