Yes, using UniBeast is the easiest way.
Please make sure, after first installation, you need also install all kexts from Anastasius' post including his DSDT and Chimera loader.
I use Lion 10.7.0 and UniBeast to make the bootable 8GB USB stick.

Should the install of OS-X to a T61 be similar to X61 ? It looks to me like the basic components similar are. I am having a T61 with Intel graphics and wated to know if the tips I read from you guys would apply to my laptop.

As promised, attached this message are my SSDT tables (extracted from a X61T_7763-CTO with a 1400x1050 pixels screen).

I hope it helps someone, I will be testing my reinstall and see how things go

Is anyone using 10.7.4?

I did the upgrade, but it was a mess (and then tried to reinstall, but can't get the graphics working without booting in SAFE_MODE with -x).

I found this link-- http://bbs.pcbeta.com/viewthread-1019104-1-1.html

I translated some part of the post into English as following
"It is updated to 10.7.4 successfully, before doing it, just open S/L/E/AppleGraphicsControl.kext/Contents/PlugIns directory. when you see ApplePolicyControl.kext during installing 10.7.4, delete it immediately. otherwise, it will crash. Then you need to delete S/L/E/AppleACPIPlatform.kext before rebooting the machine.

I follow it, no luck.

After a long delay with a lot of things, and my last experiments with iPC OSX 86..

I think I want to finally go with a Mac OS X install on the X61T.

Would you recommend SL or Lion ..AT THIS MOMENT.. for a (and which 10.X.Y version)
- More "stable" and "complete" hardware support?
- More stable/ efficient/ faster system?

Thoughts?

Hi, I am using Lion 10.7.3, by far I have now the most stable install, using ssdt's collected from windows. Upgrading to 10.7.4 gives me some trouble, so I'll wait for the moment. I install from the app store's OSX Installer, directly with versión 10.7.3 (no combo upgrades, etc).

For the bootloader I use the latest Chameleon, Chimera gives me troubles as well...

What's the problem of Chimera? more details I would like to know.

jzhang18 wrote:What's the problem of Chimera? more details I would like to know.

I have a strange problem with it, I mentioned it earlier in this thread. Some kexts won't load properly with chimera as a bootloader. I will try again and give some more details, the last time I checked, I still had the same problem.

Anastasius hi:
My english is very pool . I hope you understand . haha .

I use a standard BIOS from Lenovo v 1.25. You can download it here:
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/default.page?
Just type in your model and it will give you the right BIOS.

As about DSDT - you can download it from my previous post. Please note that you may need a different DSDT or you may need to patch it, as my configuration is Lenovo X61 tablet 7767.
What kind of problems do you have?

I successfully updated to 10.7.4. Just put IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext from my 10.7.2 installation. Everything worked. It was on my test configuration though and I didn't have time to update my main config to 10.7.4 and test it thoroughly

I just registered here and firstly i would like to thank you all for this wealth of info and files,
these files helped me in finally succeeding in getting my x61t work with osx!!

the biggest problem i had was the WACF004 device. i could not get it to work.
because i thought (as my dsdt) that it was a WACF008...
(and everywhere i looked the files where for WACF008)

• 1. sudo ioreg -lx > ioreg-tablet.txt
  
  2. then, within the file i searched for "wac" and found that in the dsdt it was somewhere around/within the Device (DTR)
  
  3. going to the DSDT i found that within that device, there is a Method (_HID, ... )
  
  that looks something like that

  Code: Select all

                      Method (_HID, 0, NotSerialized)
                      {
                          If (DATD)
                          {
                              Return (0x08F0235C)
                          }
                          Else
                          {
                              Return (0x04F0235C)
                          }
                      }
  

  4. looking at it i realized that all you have to do, is to swap the first Return (0x08F0235C) with the second Return (0x04F0235C) (and possibly vice versa) so you make it look like this :

  Code: Select all

                      Method (_HID, 0, NotSerialized)
                      {
                          If (DATD)
                          {
                              Return (0x04F0235C)
                          }
                          Else
                          {
                              Return (0x08F0235C)
                          }
                      }
  

change WACF008 to WACF004 in TabletEnabler, Apple16X50Serial, LegacyX60T (or LegacyX61T) and configure TabletMagic and that is all. you are ready to go.

on a sidenote, because i have seen this opinion around and it can be very confusing:

screen size does NOT matter.

WACF004 is on mine and i have 1400x1050.
so wrong is the analogy
WACF004 --> 1024x768
WACF008 --> 1400x1050

i have added this information to the wiki, along with files.

*if i have made any mistakes, please be gentle, it's not my native tongue!

I have no luck to update to 10.7.4. even by replacing IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext. I use external HD (10.7.3), download 10.7.4 combo update, applying it, before rebooting, replace IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext with the one you put in SLE.zip from your first post. hanging on spinning Apple logo.

What is wrong with my steps? Please advise, appreciated.

hiya,

i've been struggling with getting osx on my x61 for the past three days with not much success - i guess i must be missing something obvious so i figured i'm gonna ask for help. here's what i did so far:

first attempt was unibeast (10.7.2 lion from the app store) on external drive (guid) - both keyboard and trackpoint were working during the installation but not after the reboot, i've copied the kexts from the first post using linux to where they should be and got stuck on a "hfs_lock: locking against myself!" kernel panic.

second attempt was unibeast on my internal drive which is mbr so not much luck - i've tried replacing OSInstall manually but that resulted in my unibeast stick not booting at all so gave that up pretty quickly.

next up - myHack (internal MBR SSD again). installer boots fine, no trackpoint but keyboard works. the installer would hang for ages (not freeze, the system was responsive but nothing would happen for minutes on after choosing the generic Extra package and removing the one problematic apple kext it suggests removing). the install seemed to be complete though - i could reboot into osx but again - no keyboard (nor mouse this time). copying Anastasius' kexts resulted in the hfs_lock kernel panic again.

ultimately i decided to just try and follow Anastasius' guide. reimaged my usb stick with a vanilla 10.7.2 app store image, installed the latest chameleon on it and added the Extra bundle. kernel panic within a second or two "Unable to find a driver for this platform: ACPI (...)". I've tried adding the SLE kexts to the extra dir, same thing.

any ideas what i might be doing wrong? i don't mind installing osx on the external drive so that i don't have to replace OSInstall - i can always just reimage it to my internal drive partition later and chameleon is gonna be happy to boot that from what i understand.

for clarification - by no keyboard after install i mean the furthest i got was the post-apple logo prompt to connect a keyboard.

Does anyone running my X61-7675 DSDT have issues with Lion rebooting when waking up from sleep? I've removed all my Kexts except for my PS2 keyboard/mouse and have also tried using Voodoo kext replacements. The only thing different from my Snow Leopard setup is that I had to patch the AppleRTC as per the the OP.

Thank you!!!

Hi Jzhang18,

I couldn't boot from the USB drive created using UniBeast. Can you elaborate the process to install the kexts into the USB drive? I tried to copy them but it didn't let me do it.

Thank you,
Joseph

UniBeast is a genius product from TonyMacX86.com. You just need to follow the instruction from the link http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2011/10/ ... using.html.
For me, I use Patriot XT 8GB thumb drive. I have a working hackintosh desktop (MB: GA-P55-USB3, Graphics card: Evga 9800GT 1GB, RAM: 16GB, CPU: Intel i5 750) .
I follow the instruction from above link. made a bootable Lion thumb drive easily.
For x61 laptop, I change the boot device sequence in bios. Make sure the USB thumb drive is listed before my internal hard drive.
During the installation, I use an USB mouse because the trackpoint will not work. Keyboard works, after installation, with additional driver (kext file), trackpoint works. All kext files are attached in the first post of this forum.
What else I forgot to mention, please feel free to ask me. I am very glad if some of my experience can help others.
thanks,
- Jack

Has anyone created DSDT's for a T61 with an X3100? (I'm still not having luck)

Hi Jack,

I followed the instruction and finished step 2 to create a bootable USB drive. In step 3, you are supposed to boot on the USB drive. I was able to see screen to select the "USB" drive, but then I got kernel panic. I wasn't able to boot out of the USB drive.

Were you be able to boot from your USB drive without any customed kexts? I have X61s and my lion is 10.7.4.

Thank you,
Joseph

Joseph,
Did you use 10.7.0 Lion? I am not sure other versions (10.7.1, 10.7.2, 10.7.3 or 10.7.4) will work. I just use 10.7.0, no other kexts.

Has anyone been able to get the ripple effect in Dashboard on 10.7.3? I seem to have at least partial QE/CI enabled, tranlucent menu bar etc. But the most annoying thing is that some windows get stuck as they are drawn, alomost mini-windows stuck in the background and random freezes. I am using a macbook 3,1 in SMB BIOS. I also have used the frame buffer from the original post. Any ideas? I am booting into 32 bit mode as well.

sleepyTP wrote:Has anyone been able to get the ripple effect in Dashboard on 10.7.3?

I did not see any problem with that on my x61 tablet and x61, both running 10.7.3

Hi guys,

first off many thanks for this great thread & input

This is my first Hackint0sh & I'm running successfully 10.7.3 on my x61 (regular/non tablet).
I am pretty happy with albeit some bugs/crashes.

I largely used tatsuikeda advice from his blog:
http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/thinkpad-x ... 1331155856

2 things i would like to continue working on:

1) I have no sound
2) youtube /video playback

both not working at this stage - any thoughts

Kind regards
Kai

Hey everyone, I've resurrected my old X61 (7675) and have successfully gotten Lion working. Everything is pretty much fully functional thanks to this thread.

I have one issue that doesn't quite make sense though. Does anyone else use an ultrabay? I noticed that out of the ultrabay, performance is much slower. I thought I was just imagining things at first, but running geekbench confirmed my suspicions as it scores nearly 3 times higher in the dock.

Would this be a power management issue, or is there a kext or configuration that needs to be made out of the dock? Thanks guys, and I appreciate all of your help!

Edit: After looking at the proc speed on battery and on A/C I realized it was being under clocked on battery. I assume this is whatever hardware functionality used by the C2D series since this shouldn't be occurring in software. I guess since it's hardware initiated there's no way around it.

I added new SD Card drivers (Ricoh) to the original post. They are more stable for me

Where is your kext file? I cannot find it in your latest zip files.
