davejones Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Hi guys, Well thanks to LTL, I have now managed to get my purchased copy of Leopard up & running with my PC. My rig is running 10.5.2 (Netkas Sleep & Reboot Kernal 9.2.0 & Netkas AppleSMIBIOS 27). Although I was running everything as totally Vanilla, on the recommendation of LTL I switched. Despite this the PC is having the same issues as it was having Vanilla install. Hardware is as follows: CASE (Barebone): Asus Pundit P1-5945GCX Intel 6550 Core 2 Duo Motherboard: Asus P5L8L SE/P 5945GCX 2GB 667Mhz RAM 160GB SATA HDD Sparkle 256MB Nvidia 8500GT (PCI! not PCI-express) < installed with NVInstaller .41 Netgear WG111v2 < installed with RTL8187L drivers from Realtek AD1988B Onboard sound < tried it all, but still intermittently appears & disappears Now, mostly everything appears to be running beautifully, BUT! (and there always is...) there are still a few quirks. Firstly, the sleep functioning is really driving me insane as I cant, for love nor money, get it to function correctly. On all Kernels the outcome is the same, on both Graphics cards (GMA950 & 8500GT) it just puts the monitor into Standby, but all the fans and the PC are still running. I have checked all my BIOS options and they all appear to by OK (limited as they are ) I have spent ages on Google & the forums for a "Hackintosh Sleep FAQs" to no avail Secondly, my Nvidia 8500GT (PCI) runs Leopard perfectly silky smooth, but Xbench only scores it as a 98.44 (on Quartz GT & OpenGL GT tests). This would never usually bother me, but I'm sure the onboard GMA950 does better than this??? The only real reason I investigated this was I was trying to run the Call of Duty 2 demo; only to be greeted by audio but a BLACK SCREEN??? I have also tried Unreal Tournament 2004 and Tomb Raider Anniversary all with the same result = blank black screen. (BTW System Profiler correctly detects it 256MB QE/CI Enabled - NVInject 0.21) Lastly (I promise ) is the audio issue. I am well aware of the on going investigation by Tortuga into the AD1988B issues not functioning in Leopard, but some lucky SOBs are getting audio ok on their rigs (2-ch only) despite having the same onboard soundcard as me. I, sometimes, happen to be one of them! I must stress sometime though It is really bizarre that occasionally (more like miraculously!) after a reboot the audio (icon and all) reappear, then after another reboot (without any system changes) it goes again???... I have tried all the kexts files, pkgs & fixes suggested here but alas again to no avail! As you can see, I have been pretty busy (even took 1 week off work and then 2 extra sick days just to keep working on this and get it this far), so please look in your heart and take pity on me please offer me some guidance & advise to possible fixes for my issues. The 100% completion of my Hackintosh is soooo close, I can taste it....
