Thread: [Compilation] Dell XPS M1330, M1530, Vostro 1400, 1700, Inspiron 1420,1520, 1720

The same is actually true of my XPS 1330. I'm not sure what to make of it.

QUOTE (Urthwhyte @ Dec 9 2009, 11:54 AM) I was under the impression that P-States played the larger role in power consumption, but apparently not. They were working under Leo, any knowledge if it was a kernel level change that's broken it and will take a while to fix, or are we just waiting to come up with a proper method of implementing it in DSDT/Kext I get about 3.5-4 hrs on a 9 cell with SL. Of course, I keep my...

QUOTE (Superhai @ Sep 14 2009, 05:40 PM) I have started, but now my poor Dell got the nvidia gpu issue again so i am awaiting a new m/b... oh well... Mine died month ago, Dell replaced m/b twice, and memory once.

I've looked through the C-State thread a bit, but I'm not fully understanding what we need to do to get it fully working with our M1x30s, much like P-States, I'm assuming that a different one is needed for every processor, but I don't understand why we couldn't just move back to the VoodooPower model, which presumably had them working, unless SLs Power Management has changed that much. Chryasor or Superhai, any input?...

I made a two fan version, intended for dell laptops with two fans.   SoftSMC.kext.twofan.zip ( 26.74K ) Number of downloads: 4

QUOTE(itdoesnotwork @ Apr 27 2009, 07:33 AM) I came across the new DSDT.aml by Chrysaor yesterday. I installed new Chameleon 2 RC1, Netkas Boot file and the DSDT.aml and removed NVinject and Clamshell. It works, but I still have to sleep the display and get around 800 pts 1440x800. And yes, I do have 8600m GT with normal performence running Vista. I really don't know what I could try, maybe I'll try a retail install...

QUOTE (Superhai @ Sep 4 2009, 10:31 PM) I created a preboot cd for installing snow, and decided to share it with you. It is in its infancy and specifically designed for my Dell XPS M1330. It is straighforward, insert and boot from it - when chameleon screen completes loading, eject the cd and insert the Snow Leopard dvd and wait for approx one minute. Then press F5 and if all goes well you will see the DVD as an icon. Choose...

QUOTE (talisman @ Dec 10 2009, 09:21 PM) I get about 3.5-4 hrs on a 9 cell with SL. Of course, I keep my display brightness really low as I like it that ways. P-states work in snow. You need the right DSDT and Vanilla speedstep works. Have a look at immo's guide on custom DSDT. Try using my version of the T8300 DSDT and remove any NullCPU or Disabler kexts and any VoodooPower you might have. Strange, I have the config as...

QUOTE (Superhai @ Dec 23 2009, 02:33 AM) I made a little experiment for adding fan and temp to the istat menus. Here is a kext which should replace fakesmc.kext. Should work on most dell laptops. If you like it, thats nice.   SoftSMC.kext.zip ( 26.65K ) Number of downloads: 7   SoftSMC.kext.leo.zip ( 14.83K ) Number of downloads: 2 I assumed the top one is for Snow, and it works. iStat only seems to update...
