New features:

• Reworked 3rd party patch for reading cpu temps, now kext does it on demand, not in loop. You can use Istat to monitor cpu temps, default tjmax value is 100, you can adjust it Info.plist, works only for intel’s core 2/core i7.
• Added debug option to plist, possible values – true/false, if debug is “false”, you will not see messages – “key not found”, by default debug is enabled. Version for noobs: edit Info.plist, change debug to false, to get rid of these messages – FakeSMC: key info not found
• Fixed a small glitch with “compatible” string.

Sources, version for leopard and snow leopard here.

It reminds me good old days of 10.5.2, which brought support for many new vga cards.

So, what’s new in 10.6.2:

• 64-bit kexts for intel graphics
• 64-bit atheros driver
• support for desktop radeonhd 43xx/45xx/46xx (only dvi output works yet, dvi2vga dongle doesnt work) with beta booter(dont forget to unpack before installing;) )
• Bye bye atom, should be fixed as soon as apple releases kernel sources or use kernel&system.kext from 10.6.1
• better opencl support for radeons 4 series, also opencl support for 46xx cards
• Something I forgot to mention
• Radeon users need to use PCEFI 10.4.1 or 10.5, pre 10.4 will cause panic in ATIRadeonX2000.kext
• There is panic with geforce7 cards and 64-bit kernel mode, use 32-bit kernel mode
• New core i5/i7(8xx) is supported by vanilla kernel now.

How to update – it’s easy.

---

Use any disabler for AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext, for example – NullCPUPM.kext, install it to Extra mkext and reboot, of course if you made AppleIntelCPUPM to speedstep your cpu, you can skip this step.

Make backup of your kexts, you might need some.

Remove SleepEnabler.kext if you use it, this is very important step, old sleepenabler + new kernel = panic.

Hit the update button, if you need to edit some kexts AFTER update and BEFORE reboot – download and install update from apple site.

After reboot – re-add your device-ids to kexts where you need it and enjoy.

---

Updated sleepEnabler for 10.6.2 – link, I binpatched the old one, so don’t ask for sources, I don’t have them, install(if you want) only AFTER updating.

Radeon 4830/4850/4870×2/4890 users, tired of adding device-id to ATI4800Controller.kext after every update ? Use this kext in Extra mkext.

Also, for atheros users, here is legacy kext for it, to stop thinking about dev-id insertion after every update, we made it together with XyZ, add your dev-id to it in two places and install to Extra mkext, the unique feature of it is ability to load old kext in 32-bit mode and new kext in 64-bit mode, this is needed because some users have problems with signal level and new driver.

Radeon 4830/4870×2/4890 users – you need to install this pkg – qe_ci_exotic_10.6.2

p.p.s. note our new file hosting.

As we recently discovered, psy’s DUBL is based on opensource boot-132

here is small part of APSL

2.1 Unmodified Code. You may use, reproduce, display, perform, internally distribute within Your organization, and Externally Deploy verbatim, unmodified copies of the Original Code, for commercial or non-commercial purposes, provided that in each instance:

You should preferably distribute the Source Code of Your Externally Deployed Modifications electronically (e.g. download from a web site).

So, here is email I sent to them on 29 Oct., and got no answer:

Hello,

It was recently discovered that part of your RebelEFI, the DUBL is based on opensource boot-132, which is provided under APSL2 terms.

I downloaded trial demo from your site, and want to get sources of DUBL as well, where can I get them?

Also there is no copy of APSL license comes with DUBL.
