If you have a later Vostro and are interested, follow my instructions, but also read the posts from fezzfest, especially when it comes to the time to update your system to 10.6.6 - read his experiences here.Ģ. Applications such as Front Row, DVD player and others simply will not run without QE/CI so your hackintosh will be only partially functional.
#Insomniax not working cracked#
The integrated processor graphics have not yet been cracked for hackintosh, so this means you will not get full resolution or QE/CI. Vostros made after this time and having Nvidia cards have the internal Core i5 graphics enabled and a way has not yet been found for either disabling this or switching graphics to Nvidia. If your Vostro was made after July 2010 then there is no complete graphics solution yet available for you. There are a couple of important things you need to know about the installation, which may affect whether you decide to go ahead or not.ġ.
#Insomniax not working install#
This guide is for making a retail installation on one of the above Vostro models and is a summary of the most efficient methods for obtaining a working install and dual boot. ALL THESE PROBLEMS ARE WELL KNOWN SO PLEASE TAKE TIME TO READ BEFORE YOU ASK QUESTIONS ( seriously, read posts by PhunkMaz and fezzfest in this thread about updating when you have IntelHD graphics., I really don't know how many times we end up answering the same questions over and over.) IF A SOLUTION IS FOUND I WILL REMOVE OR CHANGE THIS WARNING. I ALSO GUARANTEE YOU WILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH UPDATING. I GUARANTEE FOR DUAL GRAPHICS YOU WILL NOT HAVE FULL RESOLUTION/ACCELERATION FEATURES - THIS MEANS SOME PROGRAMS WILL NOT EVEN OPEN. STOP! IF YOU HAVE A DUAL GRAPHICS VOSTRO READ THINGS CAREFULLY BEFORE DOING ANY INSTALL. I try to update this page every time there is a major breakthrough so start the topic here!! Latest Update 7 March 2011- now includes all 64-bit kexts and many fixes
Guide for installing Snow Leopard to Vostro 3300-3700 series (Nvidia graphics) Is there another way of achieving this? Apple want various peripherals attached for 'clamshell mode' to qualify, and I can't go down that route.Building a CustoMac Hackintosh: Buyer's Guide The machine sits in a shared study, whose other user (my housemate) isn't trustworthy enough not to put some sort of sharp item through the screen, get food in the keyboard, or something else that a 29 year old man should have grown out of long ago. This is obviously not ideal for a media box. I downloaded and installed Amphetamine from the App Store and, whilst both apps do a great job and keeping the machine awake whilst the screen is on (something that running caffeinate from terminal did just fine), closing the lid puts the machine to sleep straight away. The app itself seems buggy - clicking on the menu bar icon freezes the system for a good minute before I get the menu, and even though 'Disable Lid Sleep' options are ticked, closing the lid puts the machine to sleep. I had installed InsomniaX to keep the thing awake, but recently it seems to have broken. It lives in the study connected to an external HDD and I use Screen Sharing as and when I need to fiddle with it.
My MBP is, for the most part, a media server.
