sama7896 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Some screenshots of EeePC 701 running Leopard on the native 4 GB SSD with Voodoo kernel What works : video (including vga out - minor problem once in a while a small artifact, no issues), speakers, battery-awareness (battery time about 1.40 hours), usb devices, shutdown/restart/sleep support (fast too),webcam(though dumped ichat and photobooth), external WL167g_v2 wifi_dongle Not working : headphone/mic, native wifi, lan Tweaking in progress... Either way it is a heavily hammered down version ( of course ) Activity monitor does not work (permissions problem? doesn't even fit on the screen so who needs it) but the few applications left run ok XBENCH result : 22.66 (excluding SSdrive in test - with it is about 16.6) YEAH BABY !

persichini Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I would love to get my hands on an image, or and installation guide or something to get that to run on my 4gb ssd. I've been have tones of problems with mine... please share with the masses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sama7896 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I don't want to release it yet because there is a somewhat serious issue : Internal disk performance is very poor .... xbench disk-only result ~6. I don't get it ... SSD are supposed to be fast as hell, right ? Edit: well it seems that cheap comes with poor quality, seems this is all it can (actually) - checked some benchmarks on windoze and it's about the same... plus it seems the controller is neither a sata nor a usb - it seems it's something in the middle it's IDE (PCI detection is bugged) Attached is a pic of the dcpi output and also of the disk xbench result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persichini Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 i don't want to release it yet because there is a somewhat serious issue ... Edit: I'm starting to xbench result is false due to the little space left (155MB) - most people recommend 10% at least for proper performance.. internal disk performance is rather poor .... xbench disk-only result ~6. I don't get it ... SSD are supposed to be fast as hell, right ? If you can , please help, this is the only thing that needs to be fixed, and then i'll post result on the bay. Strange thing is that the dcpi manager lists a sata controller, but i know 701 4G is soldered in ... that makes it what ??? IDE/SATA ? I've read that the sata version is called 701SD. I don't recall, what is the read/write speed on the windows platform, and how does XP list the disc in device manager ? Thanks Either way the general speed is ok, but fixing this disk controller should make it fly... Attached is a pic of the dcpi output and also of the xbench result Well good luck on fixing the last of the issues... i can't wait to get this off my sdhc card...

griguol Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 would you rather have a fully updated (all software updates and xslimmed) install image, or would you rather have an image that you would get if you only followed djosers instructions? Regarding to keatonreckard's question, I would prefer a fully updated install image, if possible. I thought some people had the native wifi working. Is it possible to do the same here?? I have an eee900, but I guess it works in the same way, isn't it? You are all doing a wonderful work. Let's keep it up!! Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sama7896 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 done !!! install image (can be used either for booting from a sd card either to burn a dvd), plus corrections to the previous build (including restoring most of the apps deleted last time plus permissions are fixed now) plus, attansic L2 fixed, wireless is detected as airport extreme, but does not function (yet). Need to work some more on the damn ALC662 card on the eee. Anybody ever understood codec verbs/stuff ???? if you do i can provide you with codec dump/whatever just need to try some more things and i believe it is ready (maybe tomorrow night or the day after tomorrow - busy tomorrow) btw, it takes 15 seconds to boot from the sd to install gui boot time for the installed system is (still) big - working on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pfcsgt Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Could anybody please help me? I tried installing it on my Eee Pc 702 8g. I downloaded the image off of the demenoid, followed the instructions, boot when I boot from my USB drive to install it on the eeepc I get a Boot 0 error. Does anybody have any idea why im getting this? Is there a certain Bios I need installed or did I mess up the Chameleon boot loader install?

Labiri Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I experienced the same error too. I redid the whole process from beginning and it worked.

sama7896 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 i had some progress on modding the applehda codec... Nothing solid yet, but looks promising: audio recognized in profiler, plus audio icon showed up on the bar, seems mic is recognized in prefferences/sound. Problem is atm it freezes the system if i try to play something. I' ll investigate further this issue and keep you posted. Edit: Well i can't get past this... Everyting shows up fine... but no sound. Oh well... Long live Azalia. I'll attach all files needed, maybe someone else wants to experiment with it. External mic is 9-34-24 but if u put it in it will crash. Headphone is 27-12-2, internal speakers is 20-12-2 Dunno what pin config is internal microphone (4-14-24 is an output device! ). Hope it helps someone just to get u started. Careful Audio mixers must have an Amp. Don't link [N/A] devices. If you decide to test this on another type of eee (for ex 901 uses the same card) make sure you change the codec id to the decimal codec dump value in base info.plist, hdacontroller, platformdriver, and hexedit replace 6206ec10 to your deviceid in /macos/applehda. A word of advice : i asked The King about this and he said he experienced these same issues with the same card and it's hopeless, so don't loose too much time with it (like i did ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griguol Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I have just downloaded the image, but I cannot make it work. I don´t have a mac available right now. So I would need some solution to create a bootable SD card from a windows pc. I tryed to burn the image to a dvd using Transmac, but the result is not a bootable disk. Please can anybody help me? Any way to do it from windows? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sama7896 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Any way to do it from windows? sorry about that, it should have worked but it don't (i don't have much experience with these things, plus no external dvd to try). Just a idea, if you manage to extract from my image system.pkg rename it to Leopard-1055.pkg and replace it into a image of iDeneb 1.3 dvd (path: system/instalation/packages). Sorry i don't know if you can do that on Windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djoser Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 Descalzo.. Many thanks for the lan driver i've searched it for a while!! sama7896.. i'll never try the slimmed install image but Nice Work! For the microphone i've found this but i don't have time to try... http://inlinestreet.altervista.org/forum/t...=15&topic=2 http://www.mediafire.com/?22beidujwj1 See ya !!

For the microphone i've found this but i don't have time to try... ok? i think i did try that already... i think it was my first try ... What I want is headphone and internal mic support - external is easy pin : 9-34-24. Let me see internal mic or headphone and then i will be impressed If however someone does insert internal pin, it shows up at output devices - that's because it starts from a blue pin. So ... bump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
