macita Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 don´t cry, yellow is nice ... if you wish another HD Icon ... download one, there are enaugh nice HD Icons for Mac on the Web and copy it, open your Disk with Command+I and click on the yellow Icon, than paste it and you will have that Icon you want to have ;-) @Atze de Vries installing NVInstaller is not enaugh, this will not overwrite the existing Kexts, you have to use Pacifist to install NVInstaller ... that works ! Why should be a change in APPLE 10.5.3 concerning an Asus Remote Control ? Infact, i deleted all the old kext MANUALLY... heheheh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigpoppa206 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Hello I have a Asus P5W DH Deluxe, Quad Q6600 4GB ram and a XFX 8600GT videocard. Without installing any videocard drivers i get a 1024x768 image (which is no good ..) and if i install NVinstaller (tried version 0.33 and 0.41) after reboot i get a blank screen. I used Kalyway and Leo4all for the install. Anybody any ideas what to do? Greetinx Atze That card should work great, you just need to read up on how to use EFI graphics strings.

noise Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Just joined the club, perfect installation using Kalyway 10.5.2 and the lastest bios available on the ASUS website. Its a bit of fresh air, after dealing with the D945GCNL, this one is much better. BTW.. Is there any way to make the Bios boot time faster? it takes ageeeees to load.

mr.mcgoo Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I had success updating to 10.5.3 today. But it would have been much smoother if I didn't use the Kalyway combo update. It's not that it doesn't for our motherboard, it's just that it reverts the hard drive icons back to the orange external ones and disables the graphics card support for Core Image and Quartz Extreme. I fixed these issues by downloading the latest version of NVinstaller (v. 52) and the using another combo updater package to fix the icons. That combo update is featured in this thread: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=109102 It's kind of a pain to download but worth it because it packs more support in. BUT beware that I did not install 10.5.3 using this updater package as mention above. But if I was to do it again I would. Best of luck using either.

Actually I heard that it helped if you disable all the fan monitoring stuff. Seemed to speed mine up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jricks92 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Does anyone have problems with there wifi not working at the correct speed? The wifi module manual says it is 802.11g (54 mbps) compatible and system profiler says that it is connect to a USB 2.0 hub but, it only operates at USB 1.1 speed (so only 12mbps). Is there any workaround for this? I'm not satisfied with the slow transfer rates (usually around 120 Kb/s with wifi and when i connect through ethernet i get about 1.5 Mb/s). My computer is in a different room than the router so i can't be connected through ethernet unless I move the entire computer Here is a picture of my system profiler: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My time machine was working fine in 10.5.3 and then it suddenly stopped working after a while. I'm not sure what i did but i might have installed an extension or two. So to fix it i just used my previous time machine backup to restore the extensions folder. I don't know if this helps at all but its what i did and it fixed my problem.

mr.mcgoo Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I just tried using TM under 10.5.3 to a Firewire external hdd and when it tries to backup it says Failed cannot find drive. I'll be looking around for solutions. Not a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Gleeson Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Help with Wireless and ICH7R Drivers I have Kalyway 10.5.2 installed and working great, except for 2 issues. 1) I have RAID setup for my windows partition and OSX tried to mount these at startup, but fails with a "Disk Insertion" Error. How can I get OSX not to attempt to mount these drives? 2) I have installed the realtek 8187L driver, but it puts a really ugly icon on the dock, and since I don't use a wireless connection I would like to either disable / un-install the driver or hide the icon. anyone know how? thanks Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erño Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 If the drivers has a dock icon, it means that it's not a driver at all, it's an application that starts when you log in. Try removing it from the login items. That should work. If it doesn't, just delete the whole thing with AppZapper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Gleeson Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Thanks for the quick reply. I can't see the realtek application in my login items. Exactly how should I find this..... I'll also take a look at AppZapper Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jricks92 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Does anyone's ethernet not work after updating to 10.5.3? I usually just used my wireless but i recently tried my ethernet and it doesn't work! I have all the drivers installed but for some reason it doesn't work. I installed 10.5.2 on another drive and the ethernet worked. When i copied the drivers over to 10.5.3 it doesn't work anymore! Please help! EDIT: JK i got it to work! I just installed the drivers from the gigabyte_ds3-4pack.1.2.dmg and that solved my problem. It did however, break my wireless. I got a new wifi card to use as an airport. It was working until i installed the ethernet drivers EDIT AGAIN: I finally fixed everything! just restored the 10.5.3 drivers over the old ones i was using and now airport and both ethernet ports work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerdin Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Hey, so Kalyway 10.5.2 is running just fine on my comp. However, the OS only seems to recognize 1 of my usb ports as being 2.0. All the other ports completely throttle my speed to 12 Mb/s. Does anyone know a way to correct this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
